Underworld

Take me home

I was on my way to the yearly event my brother held where we had games and a party, I don't even know why I bother to show up every year. If I didn't show up he would just throw a fit and send all his angels to my demons and another war would begin and although I am very powerful I'd prefer to just get over whatever he wants to deal with. At least I would alone with Brooklyn by my side.
Brooklyn was supposed to show up at my house but I didn't see her. I decided to leave five minutes after I was supposed to because I could no longer wait anymore then I should, I would assume that she would realize that I left without her and drive there herself. For precaution I started typing on my phone asking Brooklyn where she was. Ten minutes later and still had no response, I was only five minutes away from the venue and decided to call her.
"Hey." Her sultry voice came through the phone.
"You're late, where are you?" I said displeased.
"Did you get me the purse I wanted?" Sometimes I felt like she only wanted me for my money but I never really put much thought into it.
"Umm, yeah I did but..." before I could finish my sentence she cut me off.
"Oh great."
"You're coming to the party with me right?"
"Hmm, I don't think so." She was playing games. I took a minute to get my anger under control.
I regathered all my self control to not send her to the pits of hell. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is I don't feel like being seen with you in public today."
"Real classy Brooklyn. Come on stop messing with me I can't go to my brothers party by myself." I began to get annoyed.
"I don't feel like being seen with you in general." Was this bitch being serious?
I decided to hang up, she was right who would want to be seen with me in public? No matter where I went everyone just associated me with death. I parked the car and stepped out walking into the party with an aura of shame around me.
"Hey where's you're date?" Sarah said walking by me.
"Gone. I need a drink."
"Well I for one am thankful I don't have to spend the evening with that demon." I glared at her, she was only a demon because of her disgraceful husband.
"Did jack bring his wife?" Jack was my other brother, he did not have the same father as my brother and I, so he did not possess the same abilities as him and I.
"Sarah looked down before answering. "Yes."
"Great so I'm the only one alone." I said dramatically.
"Relax, no one will notice."
"You did."
"SARAH!" and the most least favorable person at the party came walking in, my brother.
"Sarah, I've been looking for you everywhere! You look so beautiful tonight." He pulled Sarah closer to him making my stomach churn.
"Oh stop you're embarrassing me." She giggled.
"How about we get out of here." Now I was just feeling like a third wheel.
"You big silly, you can't leave your own party." I was tired of watching what was going down in front of me and decided to intervene.
"Ahem."
"Oh, Luci I didn't see you there." Of course he didn't, he so inconsiderate and calling me that stupid nickname it only made me internally roll my eyes.
"So where's you're date?" Of course he noticed who wouldn't.
"Jesus I wish you knew when to shut up." Sarah said rolling her eyes.

"Hey Alex what do you think?" I came out of the bathroom in jeans, flats and a nice blouse.
"Candice you can't wear that, you look like you're ready to go to pear bees." I began to feel self conscious.
"But this is the nicest thing I own right now."
"I've got something you can borrow." She pulled out a dress that was long and hugged my skin but somehow still looked classy. I put the dress on and admired my beauty in the bathroom mirror. I walked out and Alex's face was filled with shock.
"You're a lifesaver."

Once we made it to the party I started having regrets and decided to hide in the bathroom while Alex was on the other side of the door trying to convince me to come out. "I don't think I should have come to this party." I said to Alex through the door tugging on my dress beginning to feel self conscious.
"Oh come on, you look fine." Alex said trying to make me feel better.
"I feel out of my depth. What if everyone starts staring at me?" It was true I was out of my depth I rarely went to parties unless it was with my mother and she rarely went to them and if she had she had eyes on me at all times making sure I didn't leave her sight.
"Well why wouldn't they are at you, you're absolutely beautiful. Can you come out now I don't want to talk to a bathroom all night?"
"Alex I'm really nervous."
"Aww Candice you'll do fine just stay under the radar."
"One drink and then we can go right?"
"Promise." I began to feel more comfortable knowing I didn't have to stay long.
"Ok." I stepped out of the bathroom.
