Chapter One- SM

What the hell was I even thinking when I gave in-- I mean yes I was exhausted working the double shift so I could earn extra money before I turn eighteen and leave this place far behind me-- and agreed to go to this stupid Halloween Masquerade with my best friend; Viona?

This was literally wrong on so many levels.

Anything could happen. My whole life could turn upside down right now if my step dad and my step brother found out where I was.

Dark clouds took over once clear skies. The breeze was perfect mixture of hot and cold, caressingy my face as she slowed down while looking for a free spot to park.

Viona parked the car on the first available spot-- which was literally a block away. We climbed out and I let my fingers feel my face. Particularly, the area around my eyes and my forehead which she'd painted with black ink to make it appear as if I was wearing a mask.

She forgot to bring me one, not that I wanted it or the other things she got me like this black gown, which had swallowed me completely while only leaving my three inch heels to peek out. Then I touched the black jeweled crown she forced me to wear. At least that was fake.

I had to say she was just as good as me in the art department.

We looped our arms and walked into a dim house full of different costume creatures lounging around while disco lights moved around this madhouse.

People either wore intimidating or laughable clothes.

"Let's go and find our soulmates!!" Viona shrieked in my ear, over a song which reminded me of wails.

I laughed and shook my head at her. Happy to see her infamous wide grin.

We made our way to the bar and grabbed two cokes. She screeched, though her eyes didn't leave someone behind me somewhere, "How long can you stay?"

I thought for a second, "Midnight."

She nodded, grinned. "I think I just found my SM. Good luck with yours." She winked, grabbed her free coke and left.

I turned around to see her walk towards a guy who was wearing a long black... something and a mask inspired from the Scream movie.

She didn't even know who he was and she knew he's her SM?

Not that I believed there's remotely anything called SM.

"OH SHIT!" I heard right after someone crashed into my side. I lost my balance and braced myself for the impending fall to the ground, but it never came.

Strong arms pulled me up in one swift motion, my lost footing never returning as I crashed into someone, suddenly inhaling nothing but the scent of something strong and sweet into my lungs.
