Cliffhanger!! I haven't really put Sam in the last few chapters, so here is a chapter about her, maybe a change of POV but, I thought she isn't really involved in the story, so here it is!

I glance around my room at 6:30, not knowing what to do, I think, sitting at my window and looking out to the park. It's weird to know that me, Jestine, Mark and Seán don't live that far away from each other. I keep thinking about Seán, and how he used to be so sweet. Now... he's nowhere near.
He was my first one. My only one. We fitted, it might not have seemed it but, we fitted.
To be honest, Mark is Jestine's first aswell, possibly, she hasn't really told my alot about relationships. Ugh, why does this have to be so complicated! I just wish it carried on the way it was... but it can't be like that, life twists and turns. Now I am getting all soppy!!!! Ok, I need to let it out!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (me screaming into my pillow)
There, much better, I don't have much time before opening my ice cream truck, but, I still have time to write my diary, maybe glance at a couple of pics, but that's it.
I stand in my ice cream truck, feeling lonely, then I see blonde hair, and I light up. Jestine and Mark are coming, but thier faces are stricken, and is that Mark with, Bandages? What the heck happened? I will have to interrogate him when he gets here! Mark is starting to talk, then he stops as he looks back, he glances at Jestine. They are hiding something. Seán walks over to us, and there was an awkward silence before he cheerily  said "Hey guys!" we looked at each other "Um, anything happened" he said slowly as Jestine stepped in front of Mark, as if she was protecting him, but Mark kinda pushed her aside "Heeyy, Buddy!" said Mark, diffusing the dreadful eye contact the pair were giving themselves.
"What's up with all the bandages, Man, what happened?" Seán asked, and Mark didn't know what to say, they still haven't told me what is going on! Mark mumbled something, obviously trying to make an excuse, but Jestine saved him.
"You don't remember" she said, kinda snappy, and Seán looked wounded,
"What? No I don't remember anything about Mark, why would you say that!" he exclaimed defensively and Jestine narrowed her blue eyes at him. I've had enough.
"Listen! I've had just about enough of your petty fights, I don't know what is going on, neither does Seán, so just tell us!" Everybody looked at me in shock and surprise,
"Jeez, Sam! Never seen you like that!" Mark said, Jestine just looked at me worriedly, almost pitiful, and Seán smiled, but I ignored all of them and stormed off.
I sat on a rock, looking out to the sea, thinking about Seán and how he was different today, he was almost wild. Filled with energy, but at the same time, he was also tired and extremely sad. But how could that be?
Demonic. The word came into my mind, and I don't know why, but I feel, like.... Ugh I don't know how to describe it- I think about Mark, and the awkwardness of the silence just a few minutes ago. Painful. The word creeps into my mind and sends a shiver down my spine. I haven't thought like this for a long time, actually never.
I'm creeped out. I need to go back, just as I'm about to leave, a voice, no longer his, tells me I'm OK, that it's not going to hurt, that it's only quick. I turn around, and he stands there, blue eyes looking through me, and I run. Don't look back, don't look back! I tell myself as I shoot down the sand, oh no, I'm not the best runner, I hate running!! But I brush those thoughts away as my heart almost beats to the other side of the beach, I keep running, turns out he is very fast. Suddenly I bump into someone and I pass out, I am so freaked out... I wake up slightly to hear the screams and shouts as Jestine pulls out her athame and threatens him, then, I pass out once more...
"-things are just very messed up, I don't know what had gotten into him, well, I do but still-" I close my eyes again.
When I open them, Jestine and Mark are hovering over me anxiously, I try to move, but can't. "Don't try to move, it'll make it worse" Jestine said and I screamed, she calmed me down.
"What! Where! WHERE!?" I gasp, she speaks softly "Hold on, you got a little panicked but, nothing too bad" I glare at her for not answering my questions, but I soon calm down.

Yesterday I met a new girl in town, her name is Ariana and she offered to work at my ice cream truck for me, she is so nice, but she doesn't know our secrets or, um, pets, and I don't plan on telling her anytime soon and, as Jestine says, she needs to gain our trust. She won't meet Seán, an maybe not Jestine, but probably Mark, I don't know?
So I still have my precious Icey, and I get to hang out with the 'gang' but not Seán, I don't know him anymore, and it kills me inside to know that I fancied him so much, maybe I still do... NO. He tried to kill me, but was that him? I don't know anything, and when I try and talk to Jestine about it, she says it's nothing, but I don't believe her. She tried to contact her, em, colleagues, about it, and they said it was only to be said after the Solstice, they said it was bad luck to talk about demons before it happens, What a bunch of creeps! If Jestine heard about this, she would send me to the Obeahman... not good.

I really don't know alot about the situation, but I think I have an idea... SEÁN HAS DEMONS, THERE, I SAID IT, oh oh, He's gonna come for me now, isn't he.
Ugh.
I still can't get my mind around what happened a couple of days ago, Seán... UGGHHHHH!!!!! JESTINE! (She is trying to call me, now I have about 23 missed calls)((I know))
Hey, yeah, Jestine is in the occult, I made the stuff up about the Solstice and stuff, so if it isn't true, I could change it if you want! A couple chapters previous, (I forgot to mention) I talked about Sam playing Harvest Moon on her phone! I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT! My friend (who the character is based on) likes that game, and it fitted perfectly, buuuuut, I couldn't be bothered to interview her about it, I'm sorry, just tell me what is right! I'll change it!
