"Can you even get drunk anymore?" Mason asked me.

"I'm not entirely sure," I told him, downing another shot. "But I intend to find out." The two of us danced together and I helped him scope out the guys. "That one." I pointed to a shirtless guy.

"Not my type."

"He looks like a Greek God," I protested.

"Exactly."

"Okay." I shrugged. "Your loss." I spotted another guy who was talking to Liam. "Okay, him."

"That's Brett," Mason said. "From Satomi's pack."

"Oh, I didn't recognize him without you know, the being almost dead thing." I tilted my head. "He's cute." I waved for them to join us.

"Still not my type," Mason whispered.

"Maybe he's not your type..."

"You're Ava right?" Brett asked.

"My reputation precedes me."

"Have you noticed anyone...off?" Liam asked me suddenly. "Someone like us? Or...not quite like us?"

"I don't have your super senses," I reminded him. "This is Beacon Hills, like a fifth of the population is supernatural."

Brett nodded. "That's what I said."

Mason hit me on the arm hard. "He's my type." I followed his eyes to a guy across the room.

I nodded. "Okay, yeah, I see the appeal. Also he's totally checking you out."

"You think so?" He asked. I nodded.

"That's Lucas," Brett told him. "You should talk to him."

Mason looked between the two of us. "What are you waiting for?" I asked. "Go get your captain." He nodded at us and then walked across the room without looking back.

I bought another test tube shot from a girl walking past. "Those working?" Brett asked.

I shrugged. "No, but I can pretend like they are."

For a while Brett and I danced together and then I got a text from Scott. "That guy we just sent Mason off with, his name was Lucas?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Scott just texted me there's another chimera here, it's Lucas."

"I think they went this way." I followed Brett through a curtain of sparkly beads and into a dimly lit hallway. I could just see Mason and Lucas making out, and then I saw Lucas starting to grow stingers.

I slung my arm out and Lucas went flying down the hallway. Brett took off after him. I ran towards Mason. "You need to get out of here," I told him. "Now!" He took off, back into the main room.

I turned to see Lucas and Brett fighting. Before I could get to them, Lucas slashed Brett with his claws. Liam ran past me and tackled Lucas. I dropped down next to Brett. "You okay?"

He nodded. "No venom." I swipped my finger over the cut, then looked at the blood. "What are you doing?" He asked.

We both watched as my finger absorbed the blood. "Testing a theory."

I stood up and grabbed Lucas by the shoulder. I yanked him off of Liam, with newly acquired strength. Lucas tried to slash me with his claws, but I dodged them easily. Then I slashed him with my own.

The curtains parted and Kira and Scott ran in. "You're a little late!" Liam called. Lucas was distracted from me, he ran towards them.

I took a moment to admire my werewolf claws. "I'm getting better at this."
