Is it love: Peter Bartholy

Chapter 17 Part 2

Unknown Pov.

"You sure you're ready for tonight?"

I yelled for probably the effin time today. We weren't going after our regular run of the mill monsters. No, these were true abominations and that meant taking every precaution.

A wail of profanity and curses only told me what I already knew. I just smiled looking back at the closed door. Of course we had this, we had ample time to prepare this time, which was better than most of the time. Usually we only had a few hours to prepare but ever since we arrived in Mystery Spell, luck had been on our side. But It sucked was that I wasn't the one to go after the big game. I would have loved to be there. To see the result of all this planning but unfortunately that wasn't in the cards. Well, not for me anyway. There was a rumor that needed follow up.

Using a dab of cover up I hid  the bruised that covered my side. It stung a bit but had been worth it. It had taken two nights full of beautiful persuasion and eventually the utilization of the brat that gave me it. But with it the adult monster had finally cracked and told us what we wanted. I could still see the disbelief when they realized it didn't change the outcome one bit. Maybe, if tonight proved fruitful, I wouldn't need go after the second brat. I could feel myself chuckle at the entertaining that thought. Fat chance! They'd just grow up and go after us.

Taking one last look in the mirror to make sure I looked the part for tonight, I picked up a small purple vial spray and headed out.
The spray was a potion and was somehow supposed to let out the hidden desires of the opposite sex. I'd prefer not using it. It had a strong flowery scent to it but that was also what made it that much easier to get close. 

Walking into the evening sky, a smile crept my lips and I pumped my fists in anticipation. Tonight was going to be a good night, I could just feel it.

I winded down the darkening streets and met up with the rest of the group of jocks. They were in equal good spirits and quickly added me into their mists, slapping som skin and talking about what girls they hoped would show up tonight. Most of the guys wailed on Loan Huxleys latest play but he dished it back just as good and better yet, the group still saw up to him.
The walk there was deeper into the forest than my liking and strikingly close to where we had discarded the remains only a few days ago. I didn't say anything, the local animals should have taken care of the remains by now and the abominations should be otherwise distracted but I couldn't help thinking what else lurked out there.

Keep an eye on our surroundings, a movement  in the shadows quickly caught my attention. Before I could determine if it was a possible threat, however, Loan threw an empty can in that same direction and a deer promptly jumped out of its hiding.

Loan - "Did you see me land that hit?"

Flashing a wicked grin, I relaxed and watched as the other jocks fell into suit, chasing the wild animal. Loan was a brash kid, I'd give him that, but fearless. Definitely a potential candidate for our cause.

Soon the noise from the group was drowned out by the growing beat of heavy music. Grabbing a pint at the makeshift bar I started making my round. After an hour or so, I had finished and was ready to let off some steam. Despite the good feeling earlier, tonight had been a bust. At least here.

Loan - "Struck out?"

Loan came up from behind with a big smile, pulling me from my thoughts. His usual girl, Samantha, was hanging on his arm. She was pretty but too high maintenance for my taste.

"Not in the slightest. I'm just picky."

I gave him a flashy grin and took a gulp of beer.

Samantha - "I can introduce you to one of my girlfriends?"
