St Van Helsing's

Chapter 8

She stood next to the table; her shadow towered over them.

"Oh hi Amy, it's nice to see you. Have your bruises turned black yet," she said smirking. Adam sniggered but stopped after Amy gave him a 'glare of fury'.

"Adam, can I talk to you?" Amy said she looked very pissed. But soon as Adam stood up and walked away with her. She started to smirk. They talked a while and then he came back to the table.

"I'm going to the dance with Amy." he said. I was confused and it looked like Midnight was as well. There was a long uncomfortable pause before any of them spoke.

"Did you not listen to what you just said?" Midnight said a slight bit of anger in her voice.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

"But you were just saying........Did she say something to you?"

"It's nothing," he said. He got up and walked away. We better move before she sees us. Too late, she spotted us just as she got up.

"What the hell are you doing?" she asked calmly. Her face was stone, yet her voice was calm. It sent a shiver down my spine. I always hated when that happened. The weird thing is it only happens around Midnight.

"Getting a coffee?" Bella said smiling nervously. Midnight crossed her arms and tapped her foot.

"Really and you just happen to be two tables away." she questioned.

"Yes?" Bella said unsure.

"You know what, never mind I don't care right now," she said "I don't suppose you ease dropped on Amy as well and Adam was acting really weird after that."

"No, we couldn't hear them. They were too quiet." I said.

"Well I guess there's nothing we can do. He going to the dance with her and that's the end of it," she replied.

We walked out of the cafeteria; that was the end of that. The next day, we took the bus into the nearby town and we go clothes shopping. Bella brought a red dress that comes down to her ankles; Chantelle brought a blue short strapless tube dress that only just covers her bum and I brought a pink dress that goes just below my knees with I long trim of floral pattern that comes down to my ankles. We even found a dress for Midnight but we didn't tell her of she'd refuse and it would be harder to force her to wear it on the night.

The next Friday was an important day; it was the first M game of the school year. Hundreds of students gathered in the stands to watch it. I sat third row up and had a good view of the arena. It was bare. There was nothing there only the stone walls and floor. Suddenly static came over the speaker:

"Welcome to the first M game of the year. Today Dan Pascal will be fighting a Level 6 and of course you all know that's a werewolf. So let the game begin."

A metal door opened and there stood Dan. He stepped out into the arena waving as he did. Then out came a big wolf through the same door, it growled viciously at Dan. A knife came out of nowhere. Dan pointed it directly at the werewolf. The werewolf launched itself at him. But before it could reach him, the arena's environment changed. Walls shot up from the stone ground to form a maze. Dan ran through it and so did it. Then they made contact. The werewolf jumped on Dan. He pushed its chest upwards from him so he couldn't bite him. Eventually Dan managed to push it away and get up. Dan picked up the knife, he dropped and ran towards the werewolf and they have on finally clash. The werewolf fell to the floor. It changed where once a wolf lied. There was a man with short brown hair and a chiselled chin. It was over.

Ten weeks later, the night was here and we were running a bit late because of Midnight. But in the end she looked amazing. Her hair was it a side plait and her black dress went well with her gold belt and bracelet. We headed to the dance, it was in the gym. As we walked in a flash of colour hit my eyes. It was one of the colour projector lights. They twizzled and twirled around the gym. We stepped onto the hard wooden floor. We sat at a table at the side of the gym; the music changed to a slow song. The lights dimmed. Everyone danced with someone else - except for Midnight and me. I managed to find Adam in the huge crowd in the middle of the floor. He was dancing with Amy but he didn't look very happy. He looked kind of uncomfortable. As soon as the song ended, he immediately let go of her hands and walked towards a table. Amy follows behind him and whispers something into his ear. He immediately slows down. What does she have on him? Was the repeating question that popped in my mind. I decided that it wasn't important and stopped thinking about it. It turned to face the teachers in the corner of the gym. They looked drunk. They giggled among each other. It was weird. When I turned away back to the table, I saw Adam walking towards Midnight.

"You look amazing." he said. Midnight looked up.

"Thanks." she said.

"Do you want to dance?"

"What about your date, Amy?"

"We've got at least half an hour, she is in the bathrooms."

"Ok then," she said. She stood up and they walked away.

I saw random guy with no one and asked him to dance. I needed to hear this conversation between them.

"You know something." he said.

"What?" she asked.

"I never told you who I was going to ask".

"Ok then who were you going to ask."

"I was going to ask you."

"Really?"

"Really."

"You know she'll be back any minute and then she'll be pissed."

"Only if she sees us,"

They wandered off after that.
