Truly Charmed (Part 3/3)

Chapter 33

The moment had come. We all stood outside P3, staring at the huge banner that read "Happy 20th Anna!" in big bold writing. I could hear the music pouring out of the club and saw people going in through the doors.

I let out a determined breath, straightening up and holding my chin up high.

"Let's have a party," I told myself.

************************************************

We all walked down the stairs into the club. When I saw the scene inside, I didn't know whether to shout and start dancing or to scream and run in the other direction. People filled the club, most of them on the dance floor or at the bar. The costumes were so good I couldn't tell whether certain people were from magic school or not.

"Hey! Everybody she's here!" Pandora screamed over the music.

The jabbed two fingers in my direction. When everyone in the club heard her, they erupted in cheers. I didn't need a mirror to know that I was bright red in the cheeks. I was just glad it was dark so nobody would see.

As we came down into the club floor, lights flew all directions almost blinding me. I heard clown laughs and screams from the sound effects that Piper had decided to play. The fake cobwebs hung low enough to brush the top of people's heads. I looked to the bar and saw that the glasses had spiders and black cats on them. There were even glow in the dark shot glasses, however I doubt many people would use them as they weren't 21 yet.

"Hey! I'm going to get us drinks! What do you want?!" Pandora shouted over the music to me.

I just raised my shoulders in confusion.

"I'll just get you anything!" She said before weaving her way to the bar.

I stood amongst the sea of people, not knowing what to do. Melinda, Payton and Pearl had already fled to the dance floor and Patty and Penny headed in the other direction. I was about to head for the bathroom when I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and began smiling.

Wyatt stood there, smiling down at me. I started to laugh at his costume. He was standing there dressed as a knight in shining armour. He had a chain-mail that was resting on his shoulders and he had a sword tucked in his belt. He wasn't wearing a helmet however, so I could see his face. His chest was covered in red velvet with a golden lion imprinted on it.

"Wow, I guess we both pulled the short straw in the ironic costume department," I laughed.

"I thought it would be ironically funny, however my family didn't see it that way," he laughed back.

"Well King Arthur, I hope that sword in you're belt isn't actually Excalibur," I said with raised eyebrows.

"No unfortunately it's not. However I could easily summon it here if anyone gets on my bad side tonight," he winked.

I began laughing. Then Henry came up to us, with two drinks in his hands. He was dressed as Dracula, complete with the cape, fangs and fake blood.

"Hey Wyatt I got our drinks," he said handing Wyatt one of them.

"Woah Henry, great costume," I smiled observing his cape.

"Thanks Anna, um who are you?" He asked me confused.

"Guinevere," I answered opening up my arms so he could see all of my costume.

He then looked from me to Wyatt, working out what was going on.

"Seriously guys? The one night of the year when you can be whoever you want to be, you guys choose to dress up as the people you were in you're past lives?" Henry said in disbelief.

"Yup," I answered.

"Yeah pretty much," Wyatt said.

"Well I'm going to go find Pandora to make sure she hasn't got her tongue down a leprechaun," Henry told us.

He downed his drink in one go and then disappeared into the crowd.

"I need to go find Melinda, see if she's okay," Wyatt then told me.

"Okay sure," I answered him looking around.

Remember to wear that dress tonight. Meet me on the porch fifteen minutes before midnight.....

I heard Wyatt's voice in my head, cool and calm. I began to smile. His mouth quirked up into a soft smirk. Before walking away to go find Melinda, he leant down and kissed me gently on my mouth. After he left, I stood still in a crowd of dancing people with my hand held up to my mouth, smiling...
