Gracie Summers. Timid, tired and totally not in the mood for her obnoxious sister. Hates bossy girls who can't take a punch, guys who think that all girls are useful for, are opening their legs, and dreams that haunt her at night.
She was just mean...
Later that evening, Cassie emerged from her room with a dark violet mini two piece outfit that consisted of a sweetheart a-line strapless top piece with a skirt that reached her mid thigh. She then paired the outfit with a pair of gold earrings and black rhinestone platform heels.
Gracie looked at her with obvious shock. She shook her head, moving her coat's collar to cover her neck. She zipped up her ankle boots and stepped outside of her room. Cassie gave her outfit a disgusted look before walking out the door.
She followed her and they reached the porch where Melissa stood." What's up Melissa? Where are you going looking all prettied up?" Cassie asked with a smirk. Melissa shoved her arm playfully just as James and Mandy stepped outside and joined them.
"Melissa is going with you." Mandy sighed exasperated." I wanted to go with, but unfortunately I have a deadline tomorrow with the designers of Victoria's Secret." She let her hair loose. Cassie's eyes bulged.
"You work for Victoria's Secret?" She exclaimed.
Mandy shook her head," I work with them. I design a few pieces, they decide if they like it, they showcase it and BOOM! There goes my product." She said. Melissa giggled." Another fashion fanatic?" James asked, leaning down to whisper in Gracie's ear. She nodded," You have no idea." He chuckled. He then looked at his watch and nodded to Melissa.
She gulped, but nodded." Come on. We should go before it gets completely dark. My vampire sight isn't as great as it should be." Cassie blanched at her words." You're a vampire?!" She exclaimed, taking a step back. She grinned nodding, while Gracie tsked, while her hand moved once more to her neck.
Mandy caught the action and pulled her hand away." Why do you keep messing with that spot?" She asked her as she moved the collar away. Her eyes widened as she took in the two puncture marks on her neck.
She moved away from her, her memory reminding her of the sting and burn she felt when that man's teeth ripped through her skin.
"You've been bitten." Melissa stated. Everyone looked at Gracie as she nodded." Are you...?" James asked referring to her neck. She nodded, understanding his question." Yes, I'm part vampire as well. A quadbrid."
"How?" He asked as he moved closer to examine the mark." Your body should have rejected it." He said looking in her eyes. He gripped her chin gently, turning her face up to see her eyes." You're eyes are green brown. Your veins seem normal so there are no traces of vampiric blood in your system." He frowned curiously.

"You mean like this?" Her eyes glowed a rustic red and black veins appeared under her eyes. He took a step back as she looked at them. Looking at her, he thought of something." Come meet me tomorrow here. I want to study this for myself." He told her. She nodded and Melissa grabbed her hand. Her eyes reverted back to their normal color." We have to go now." She nodded and they hurriedly walked away.
