A Taste of Fear: Sequel to Darkness Falls: a City of Bones story

Chapter 1: Dark Lies

ALICE POV

I gently tapped Nathan's cheek. He didn't stop his swaying to the music.

"Nathan! Look, the song's over. We should find the girls." I said worriedly.

"Just relax Alice. They're fine. I mean, this place is completely safe and..." he was interrupted by Layla and the dashing boy coming up to us.

"Hey, Tony and I were just going to get some drinks. Wanna join us?" she offered. Nathan seemed delighted.

"So Tony, you like music?" he asked him while we sipped our refreshments.

"Yeah... I suppose." he answered.

"So, you have any brothers or sisters?" Tony tensed. He replied with a simple 'A lot.' Okay, odd.

"So, I was wondering is you want to come to the park with me tommorow." Layla asked Tony.

"I can't. I have plans... Yeah." he quickly stuttered. She frowned.

"What about next week, or the weekend? You could come see the band play!" Nathan offered. Tony shook his head. He mumbled something about hating the sun and abruptly left Layla standing there confused. He reappeared, grabbed Layla and pressed his lips to hers. Then he vanished once more.

"Wow." was all that all three of us could say.

The sound of glass shattering dragged me back into reality, well, this reality. There was blood on the floor. People were running out of the club. Nathan and Layla were torn away from me. A scream went up from the chaos. The only person who would match that voice would be... Claire.
