Got Ya!

The Parade (1)

S POV

...

"Skyler Rose Teel!! Where do you think you're going??" My mother called from the kitchen as I was walking toward the door.

"Uhh..to the parade?.." I answered cautiously, looking back at her.

"Where's your costume, Sky? You looked so cute in it!!" I sighed a groan and stalked over to my mom. "Don't look at me like that and go put on your costume!"

I reluctantly walk up the stairs to my room and get changed into my belly dancer costume and go back down stairs. I look at my smiling mom and roll my eyes as I stick my phone on my bra and walk out the door into the night. I'm kinda glad I went in this instead of my jeans and tank top I had planned, it was super hot outside. The middle of summer and about 75 degrees, I'm not good in the heat at all so this is super hot to me. I walk down the street to the middle of town, hearing the blasting music playing already. Toys in the Attic by Omnia //lyric video on the side// was blasting and I could see the lights of the parade.

I had to keep my body from dancing to the music already as I ran to the parade. I got to it and smiled as I saw everything. Faeries and Fae, People and Creatures, dancing and swaying and laughing and smiling as the parade went by. I started dancing along to the music and after a minute or two, when the song was almost over, a guy bumped into me.

"Oh, god.. sorry!!" his deep, smooth voice purred as he blushed at me, looking embarrassed.

"Haha, it's fine!! I said over the music as I put my hand on his arm. "Wanna dance?" I asked him, giggling at his surprised face, but then he smiled and started dancing with me as Crazy Man started playing. We were laughing and dancing and having fun, but, I felt something strange in the pit of my stomach. I brushed it off as insecurity about being so exposed in front of this gorgeous man. His straight black hair swiped to the side of his deep emerald eyes. He was thin but muscular looking. He was my perfect type, so of course I would be a bit nervous. I wasn't unattractive but I wasnt totally comfortable in my body.. Many people have said I was beautiful with my hour glass body, long red hair, and icy blue eyes. I never really felt beautiful before though..

He pulled me into a hug and that's when I realized that the song had ended. Coming out of my little daze I saw him smiling down at me.

"Hey, what's your name?" He purred as we walked away from the music so we could hear each other better. That's when I realized I danced with a total stranger.

"Skylar Rose, Sky for short. Or Rose.. Whatever cuts your goat," I giggled as i reached my hand out to him. He smiled, almost maniacally, as he took my hand. Something flashed in his eyes but was gone before I could figure out what it was.

"Kayden," He said, shaking my hand. "Kayden Hathoway,". He had the weird smile on his face again and I felt more uncomfortable..

"I think I should be getting home, it's getting kinda late.." I said politely as I turned, trying to get out of there quickly.

"Let me walk you there!" He said, following me. Knowing he wouldn't leave me alone by just asking, I started to run.. Big mistake.. We were close to an alley near my house but too far for people to hear me scream as he grabbed me and pulled me into the alley. I squirmed around and pleaded as he dragged me into the darkness.

"Please!!" I begged, "Let me go!! I promise not to tell anyone, Kayden!! I promise, just let me go!!" I started to cry as he dragged me closer to a white van with tinted windows. He banged my head against a brick wall, but just before I passed out I heard him whisper in my ear hoarsely.

"You know my name and my face Sky, I couldn't let you go.. Besides, you're my next victim!!"
