   After that ominous warning from Diana, Emily comes out and says," Are you ready to go Ella?" shaking my head, I say " Yeah, I'm ready. Let's go." we head towards my garage and take my red Chevy 69' Camaro. I love my car. No one touches her. She's mine. He who touches loses their life. We jump in the car and start driving to the mall, which is run by our kind.

    After a twenty-minute drive, we finally arrive at the mall. As we get out of the car, Emily looks excited. She tells me to hurry up so we can get the best dresses. I listen to her advice and take off in a slight jog and finally catch up to her. As we look around, we see a boutique of gorgeous dresses. Emily's eyes sparkle like gems when she sees that store. I knew that as much as I love shopping, I was going to regret this.

   After an hour of Emily's torture of picking out dresses for me, she finally picks out a strapless knee-length purple beaded dress which is quite beautiful if I do say so myself. I pick this dress and Emily picks a green floor-length dress which complements her auburn hair. If her mate is at my party, he's going to be amazed. Emily wanted to pay as she picked my dress. I refused and paid for both our dresses. After we paid, we head towards a Starbucks to get something to drink, we reach our destination and we order. A venti java chip frappuccino with extra java chips for me and an iced passion tango tea for Emily. Before I could pay, Emily pushed me aside with a smile and paid for our drinks. She said this is for me paying for the dresses. After we get our order, we decide that it was time we get back to our pack. We took our drinks and bags and headed towards my car.

   After a twenty-minute drive, we finally reach our pack. I hug Emily and head separate ways. when I reach my house, I see my dad, mom, and my brother whispering about something in the living room. I head up to my room and drop off my dress and head back downstairs to see what was up with my family. I enter the living room and suddenly all chatter stops. I ask my family, "what's going on? Is there trouble?" My brother is the first to speak, he says " It's nothing Ariella, we're just talking about your party." That was suspicious. Bastien never calls me Ariella unless something was wrong. But I decided to shake it off. My mother speaks up this time and asks me, " how was your trip with Emily? Did you have fun?" I say, "yeah, we had fun, I got my dress and we got Starbucks too." My father speaks up and says, " that's good sweetie, go ahead and eat dinner and sleep. we have a lot of planning to do." My entire family was acting weird and I didn't know what was wrong. I wanted to ask Diana but I felt that she wasn't in the mood for questions.

      I eat my dinner very uninterested and do what my dad told me to. I go up to my room and pick up a book I start reading. It's interesting, to say the least. I keep reading for the next forty-five minutes and start feeling my eyes getting droopy. I try to keep my eyes open to read one last chapter but no avail. I start crashing and close my eyes. I feel my book being taken away from me and my covers pulled over me. I didn't know who did it but it was probably my mother. She does every time I do this. Soon enough I fall into a dreamless sleep.
