*This story has horror, and is very different from the last couple of chapters. You don't have to read it, but it does help to set up the ending. It's not necessary, but it will clear up some plot holes.*
Emira cried in the woods, alone. The party was suppose to be perfect. So what went wrong? She went over the events in her mind.
The party started at Six. The twins had dressed up as a duo from one of Luz's human shows. They had big 'R's on their plain white shirts. Emira's hair was gelled into a strange shape. The two arrived at the party. Edric considered taking his coat off, but he knew he would get cold later so he kept it on.
It was Six Thirty. With drinks in their hands the two talked and laughed. Then Emira saw her. She arrived on a griffin, her brown hair in a loose ponytail. She had a tank top that showed off her arms, fishhook earrings and a warm smile. Emira felt herself turning red.
"Simp" Edric said whispering into her ear.
Emira slapped her brother away as she continued to look at the girl. Her face melted into a smile, Emira's hands shook as she took a step forward. Then another, then another. Edric held his breath as Emira walked towards her dream. And promptly fell flat onto her face. Edric let out a laugh as Emira glared back at him. In front of her the brown haired girl reached down. Helping Emira to her feet, the two smiled. They began talking before leaving Edric behind.
It was Seven O'clock now. Emira was dancing with fish hooks, whose name was Viney. The two slow danced, everyone else watched silently. People faded away as Emira focused on the girl in front of her. Edric sent a video to Amity, his mouth curled in a wide smile. He walked away leaving his sister to dance. Emira was lost in Viney's eyes. Until Viney blinked, her brown eyes flashed to gold. Emira fell down and looked up at Viney.
"What's wrong?" Asked the girl as her eyes flickered. Her hand reached down for the Blight.
Emira slapped her hand away, and scrambled to her feet. There was a loud crash, Edric had pushed someone into the punch bowl. Their eyes glowed gold.The twins ran to each other, they stood back to back and faced the mob. Golden eyes surrounded them, blood began pouring from the mouths of their friends. Pooling onto the ground, limbs began twisting in unnatural ways. Viney's back twisted violently as she stumbled towards Emira. Her blood soaked shirt wasn't nearly as terrifying as her glowing gold eyes.
Suddenly she stopped, her eyes dimmed then faded to natural colors. Viney collapsed onto the ground, coughing up blood.Instantly Emira was by her side, holding her close. Edric followed his sister and began taking off his jacket. Slipping it onto Viney's shoulders. Then it happened.
Viney grabbed Edric by the collar and slammed him into the ground. He gasped for air, as Viney pushed Emira away and pulled Edric up by the neck. Lifting the boy into the air, Edric struggled his legs flailing. Viney looked into his eyes, Edric could feel himself slipping.
"Run." He croaked at his sister.
Emira stayed, her legs frozen unable to move.
"Run!" Edric screamed with the last of his breath.
Emira turned and ran, her legs pumping as she pushed past her classmates and towards the woods. Emira turned and watched as Viney dropped Edric, the boy crumbled onto the ground. Then rose up, his eyes glowing. His face twisted in an evil smile.
Emira began crying as she ran away faster, hot tears dripped down her face. She had to find Amity, their mother was back. Emira ran faster, then she saw it. And she knew it was over.
