     We all sat in a circle. Kristy had an empty beer bottle in her hand. "So everyone knows the rules?" She asks. All of us nod. "The mouth of the bottle is answer and I am the questioner. The dare can come from anywhere. Do you guys agree?" Again we nod. The bottle spins.

KRISTY:-Truth or Dare?
ME:- Truth !
KRISTY:-Why was the band named 'The Dark Side'?

    I wasn't prepared for this. I was expecting something else. Something personal, probably risking our secret but that's when I remembered the rules of the Tiger Beat journalists. They had to ask last minute questions. And she was doing it in the form of a game. I think to cover up the fact that she still switched off the TV during the most interesting part.

ME:-It is a reminder to everyone that how ever perfect people are, there is something which pulls us back from going there. Example me, my temper. Chris, his shyness. Dylan, his laziness. Walt, his need for punctuality and Ash, his consciousness over people's thoughts over him.

     I look at her as she writes every word down. The game continued as she went more personal. We told her things that we would never share with the outside world cause we all trusted her. The dares were getting better especially when it's Walt's chance. Angel called it 'Payback time'.

KRISTEN'S POV

    I enjoyed the game so much. It was fun. Knowing things that I had never known before and getting Walt to do the most disgusting things even after that he keeps taking them as challenges.

        It had changed the whole point of playing it. In the end, we had to finish it even though I didn't want it to end. After all I was only human. I came to know so many things about them and half of the things I wasn't even allowed to put into my article. Damn. So I went to my room and crashed into bed. That felt nice. Finally I get to my best friend, Sleep.

NEXT MORNING...

    The moment the sun rays hit my eyes, they opened. I am usually not a morning person but today I'm getting to go home. Who could be any happier? Finally away from fantasy and back to the true reality.

       I have a quick bath and change into a pair of  black jeaggings and blue full sleeves top. My last breakfast. I'm gonna miss seeing Ash making food. I remember he trying to teach me but he had to give up cause I ended up adding no sugar, and extra baking powder and overheating the cake.

         Yup, we were making chocolate cake. He said it was easy but I guess he was little wrong when it comes to me. I smiled at the memory as I enter the kitchen."Good morning." I say a little softly, than usual. "Awww, Sexy is leaving. Means she is gonna miss me cooking, right?"

       I nod, pouting but making it a little cute. "You guessed right. Am I that predictable? " He nods as he serves breakfast. Today I was earlier than the others. For once it felt so good, me waking up before others. I quickly finish my food and decided to polish my article a bit after helping Ash with the dishes.

        "Thanks! First thing in the kitchen you didn't mess up. " "Unluckily, I have to agree with you." I smile a little. I sit and polish the article. Thank god, Curly didn't disturb me cause this work really needs a lot of brain power. Other words, using words in a very skilled manner. Suddenly I began to doodle. Well, it helps in my concentration. "Boo!" Aah! Not again. No, I didn't fall down. My hand jerked and my drawing got spoilt. A huge line right between the page. Luckily it was pencil. and so were my doodles which for the first time I got attached to. 

       "Walt!" I shout. "Sorry Babe!" He shouts back. I shake my head and look at the clock on the wall. It was time. Time to go. "Guys, My time to go." Every one comes out except for Zac. Did feel bad but who cares, they are the rock stars. They don't care anyways plus I'm too happy that I was finally going home. So my happiness took over all my other mixed emotions.

            "I'm gonna miss you guys a lot." And I can't believe I'm saying that. "Come on, guys! Group hug!" This one I couldn't run away from. The last time I'll be meeting them. I was right in between. After sometime, they left me and I could finally breathe. I was going to go but "Stop!"
        It was Zac's voice. Who couldn't recognize his voice? I turn around. "We have something to confess..." He admits, feeling a little awkward. "Are you sure you can trust her, bro? " The question had come from Ash. I was wondering where this is getting to. Surely not their secret. He nods, looking down. "I don't think you should do this, Zac." Chris protests. "No, she has the right to know. Kristen...." I was waiting for it to come out. He goes to the window. "We are not what you think we are...." He finishes his sentence. "We are vampires."
