The week seemed to pass by slowly. Arywin spent most of her nights at home, alone. Rave, if he wasn’t hunting, spent a lot of time at Libby’s apartment. Arywin could only imagine with was going on between her brother and best friend. But she didn’t care. She found herself actually welcoming the relationship between those two. Just like her brother welcomed her relationship with Daniel.
Because he worked during the week, Arywin was only able to see him on the weekends. She had to settle on his nightly call in order to hear his voice again. One night when Daniel called her, he invited her out to eat on Friday. She gladly accepted thinking they could spend some time together, alone. On Wednesday, she and Libby went out shopping for an evening dinner dress.
The dress was a black floor length dress. It had one shoulder strap and a low cut on her back. As she looked at herself in Libby’s mirror, butterflies flooded her stomach. It was Friday evening and her dinner with Daniel was only hours away. She had never been with Daniel outside of the club except for that one night. But to Arywin, that night didn’t really count. As she turned in the mirror, a question popped into her mind. Confused, she turned to Libby.
“Why is it that I can see myself in this mirror and the one at the store and not the mirrors at my house?” Arywin questioned. Libby raised her head when Arywin spoke. She smiled at her questioning.
“It’s because this and the mirror at the store are enchanted. They allow vampires to see themselves.” Libby explained at Arywin from the place she was sitting on her bed.
“But how would the store owner know about vampires or that the mirror needs to be enchanted?”
“Because the owner is a vampire. She’s one of the high fashioned vampires that I know.” Libby replied. “She owns about 15 stores across the states and about 10 globally.”
Arywin raised her eyebrows. She was impressed. Nodding her head, Arywin looked at her watch. It was about five o’clock Friday evening. She is suppose to meet Daniel at the restaurant at 6:30 tonight. Taking a deep breath, Arywin turned to Libby. A huge smile had spread across her face as Libby stood.
Without waiting to hear Arywin complain, Libby grabbed her arm and drug her into the bathroom. Arywin had given Libby free rein over her hair style for the evening. When she entered, Arywin saw the straightened, curler, and a bunch of other hair styling utensils that Libby might need to style her hair. The stuff was all laid out onto the bathroom counter. Arywin groaned as Libby sat her down in a chair in front of the bathroom mirror.
“I think we might put it up. Kind of.” Said Libby as she began to brush through Arywin’s thick dark brown hair. Arywin’s eyes watch Libby in the mirror as she started to work with Arywin’s hair. She started by curling her hair with small tight curls and then moved to styling it.
Libby hummed while she worked. When she was done, Libby stepped back to allow Arywin to take a look. Her extremely curly hair was pulled back into a curly messy bun. Libby left some of her bangs out to hand and frame around Arywin’s face. Libby also let some hair strands hang from the bun. Arywin stared at herself with wide eyes. The curls around her face seemed to add character to it.
When she finished looking at herself, Arywin met Libby’s eyes in the mirror and smiled.
“I love it!” she gasped.
Libby laughed at Arywin’s expression. “Good cause that tool a lot of work and I’m not up for any other style at the moment.” She glanced at her watch. “Yikes! Six o’clock. Come on love, time to get going.”
As Libby turned everything off in the bathroom and put things away, Arywin went to the entry closet to grab her coat. In a few minutes, they were out the door and driving to the restaurant.
Within minutes, Libby was pulling in front of the restaurant. Arywin jumped out and leaned over to talk to Libby through the open window.
“Hey. Just to let you know. Your brother and I are going on a hunt tonight.” Libby explained from the driver’s seat. Arywin nodded her head. “So have a good time and remember; eat the food not the human.” Libby teased.
Arywin laughed. “What if the human was the meal?”
Libby rolled her eyes as she revved the engine. “Then I hope you enjoy yourself, Ary.” She said with a wink. “I want to hear all about it later.”
Arywin smiled and waved as Libby drove away. Taking a deep breath, Arywin turned and entered into the restaurant. A man greeted her at the door and took her coat. The place was Italian and very fancy. The sounds, smells and sights were all Italian. And the colors of the restaurant were a creamy white and deep red.
A tall gentleman led Arywin back to a booth table with a red table cloth on it. But that and the candlelight only held her attention for a few seconds. Daniel stood up when he saw Arywin. A huge smiled spread across his face as he moved around the table held out his hand to her. Arywin placed hers in his and stepped close to him. Daniel looked over her head to the man who led her over to the table.
“Thank you.” Daniel said. The man bowed and left them alone. Daniel looked back down at Arywin. “You look beautiful but then again you always look beautiful.” Arywin smiled. He leaned down and gave Arywin a big kiss on her lips. Smiling down at her, Daniel led her to the table to begin their evening meal.

Vampire (Continued)
Libby drove Arywin home. She tried to get some information out of her but Arywin wasn’t talking. She wasn’t sure if she even had a voice at the moment. The night seemed to be perfect. She made out with Daniel and pissed Drake off at the same time. Life couldn’t get any better.
All too soon, Libby pulled up in front of Arywin’s house. She put the car in park and stared at her friend. She was happy for Arywin, happy that she felt this way at least. But there was a small voice inside her head, telling her to warn Ary. She pushed it away, deciding not to ruin Arywin’s day.
Arywin sat there for a moment in a kind of daze. Her mind was elsewhere, that was clear. She didn’t even know they had stopped until Libby poked her in the shoulder. Arywin turned her head to Libby. “What?” She asked. Libby pointed at the house in silence. Arywin followed her gaze and smiled in embarrassment. Thanking Libby for the ride, Arywin climbed out of the car and walked up to the front door.
The house was silent when Arywin entered. She listened for Rave as she slowly and quietly closed the door. Exhaling, Arywin leaned up against the door and closed her eyes. Her thoughts turned to Daniel and the warmth of his arms. A smile spread across her lips as she day dream. She wondered when she would see him again. Opening her eyes, Arywin removed her coat and hung it up in the closet.
Quietly she walked up to her room and laid down on her bed. Until then, she hadn’t realized how tired she was. Turning over onto her side, Arywin closed her eyes again and drifted off to sleep.
When she awoke, Arywin found her blanket tucked around her, the drapes down and her door closed. ‘Rave.’ she thought as she climbed out of bed. She was really happy about being a vampire cause then she wouldn’t have to deal with the dizziness along with her light headedness. She stretched as she stood in her room. Sighing, Arywin opened her closet door and took out a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. Quickly she changed, put her clubbing clothes away and headed down to the kitchen.
She found Rave there reading that morning’s paper. A hot cup of coffee was sitting beside his empty bowl of ceral. He sparred Arywin a glance as she got her own cup of coffee. Wihtout a word, she walked over and sat down opposite of Rave. He smiled at her without looking up at the paper. They sat there in silence for a while until Rave set the paper aside.
“So.” He started. “How was last night?”
“Pretty good. I saw Daniel again and that pissed Drake off.” Arywin replied as she took another sip of her coffee. Rave raised an eyebrow. Arywin smiled as she set her coffee down. “Yah he didn’t like me making out with Daniel.”
“Interesting.” Was all Rave said.
“What? I thought you didn’t like me going out with other guys?” questions Arywin.
“Well now that I know it will piss off Drake, you can go ahead and spend as much time with Daniel as you want.” Rave replied. Arywin gave Rave a victory smile as she took another sip of her coffee. Suddenly the door bell rang. Rave and Arywin stared at each other. Rolling her eyes, Arywin stood up and went to the entryway, still smiling. However, the person on the other side of the door wiped the smile off her face.
“What do you want Drake?” Arywin hissed. She stood so that she was blocking the way into the house. Drake looked down at her and gave Arywin a sweet smile.
“I want to talk to your brother, Ary. Is he in?” Drake asked taking a step closer.
Arywin raised an eyebrow. “First of all, you can call me Arywin and only Arywin. Secondly, yes he’s in. Why do you want to talk to him?” She asked him coldly.
“Let him in Ary.” Rave said behind her. “Might as well let him say what he wants. That will get him out of here sooner.”
Arywin stepped back to allow Drake in. He walked passed her a little closer than Arywin had wished. She closed the door behind him and leaned up against the door. Drake looked at Rave with a blank expression on his face. “What do you want Drake?” Rave asked.
“I’d like to talk to you privately.” Drake replied turning slightly to glance back at Arywin. “I have some things that I need to tell you.”
“Whatever you have to say can be said in front of me and my sister.” Rave answered crossing his arms over his chest. Arywin smiled at Drake.
“Fine.” He said turning back to Rave. “I should have you know that your sister was making out with a human last night. She was all over him.”
Rave nodded his head. “And that concerns you, how?” Arywin’s smile widened. Her brother was backing her up.
“Because she shouldn’t be doing that with a human. She’s going to loose her control and then kill him.” Drake warned. “If she wants to be involved with someone, it should be someone from her own race. Another Vampire.”
“I thank you for your concern. Arywin, tisk-tisk.” Rave slapped the back of his hand while looking at Ary. “Ok is that all?” he asked looking back at Drake.
Drake’s face darkened. “You think that’s going to do anything? You’re so stupid Rave. She needs to be controlled.”
“Thank you, Rave. But I believe that I know how to handle my own sister.” Rave replied cooly. “Besides, I really don’t have a problem with her being with a human, Drake. You want to know why? Because then I at least know she’s not with you.” He paused for a moment to let his words sink in. “I bet that just kills you knowing that she picked a human over you. Well I’m going to respect her decision. So I guess this ends our conversation. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” And with that Rave turned on his heels and headed back into the kitchen.
Drake slowly turned back around, with shock written all over his face. Arywin grinned at him as she opened the door. He slowly walked to the door and then stopped in front of Arywin.
“I can’t believe you would go so low, Arywin. You picked a human.” Drake stated. “You could have had so much better.”
“Actually, Drake, I like Daniel because he lets me be who I am. He also doesn’t really force himself on me. Nothing pissed me off more than when you claimed me as your mate, Drake. Remember that.” She said and she pushed him out the house and slammed the door in his face.
All too soon, Libby pulled up in front of Arywin’s house. She put the car in park and stared at her friend. She was happy for Arywin, happy that she felt this way at least. But there was a small voice inside her head, telling her to warn Ary. She pushed it away, deciding not to ruin Arywin’s day.

Vampire (Continued)
The club was only a couple blocks away from where Libby’s apartment was. They walked, arm-in-arm, down the narrow streets towards the club. The music flooded their ears before the club could be seen. As they walked towards to door entrance, people stopped and stared at them. Arywin knew that Libby was popular among the humans. Why wouldn’t she be? She was the owner of the most popular club in the city. Everyone wanted to be in Libby’s group of friends. But to Arywin, it seemed that Libby wanted to be in hers. She wondered why.
Arywin shook her head, clearing it, as one of the guards opened the door to the club. The sound and noise was overwhelming. People walked by and stared at them as they entered. Arywin put on a sheepish smile.
“Why are they staring at us?” she asked in Libby’s ear. Libby laughed and through her head back. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun with some loose strand falling around her face. She looked at Arywin with laughter in her eyes.
“Because they envy us and we look damn hott!” She replied. Arywin stood there for a moment taking in what Libby had said. A smile stretched across her lips as she moved gracefully and with confidence through the club. They stopped at the bar to get a few drinks before finding a table to sit at.
Arywin and Libby engaged in conversation before Libby got up to check on a few things. Arywin sat by herself slowly sipping on her drink. Her eyes wondered around the club and watched the people dancing on the floor. Suddenly two hands gripped her shoulder causing Arywin to freeze in place. They traveled down her arms, barely touching her skin. The fingertips left a trail of shivering skin as they traced back up her arms. The heat of them made her lips tremble. One hand brushed away her long dark hair to expose her neck as the other one traced the lines of her back. Warm soft lips pressed against her neck with just the hint of teeth behind them. Arywin jolted backwards causing the person the laugh deep in his throat.
“I’m sorry. Did I scare you?” Came a sweet deep voice that Arywin knew all too well.
“Only a little, Daniel.” Replied Arywin as she turned in her chair to face him. He was wearing a light blue collared shirt this time with dark blue jeans. His hair was jelled up again making him look extremely sexy. She smiled up at him as he leaned down for a greeting kiss.
“I missed you.” He said pulling away to look down at her face.
“Daniel it’s only been a day.” She stated starring up at him with a doubtful face. Daniel only smiled as he leaned down for another kiss. This one being a little longer than the first.
“Exactly. It’s torture to be away from you for so long.” Arywin just rolled her eyes as she stood up. She was about to turn away from him, but Daniel grabbed a hold of her and slammed her body against his. Before she could catch her next breath, Daniel’s mouth was assaulting hers. She couldn’t think, only react as she met his assault with her own. Her hands tangled in his hair, refusing to let him go. She could feel his hands on her back, tracing her skin, making it quiver. A moan stretched across her lips as he drowned her with pleasure. Her body melted into his and was left weak.
Daniel pulled his mouth away but still held her. She used him for support because she wasn’t sure if she could stand on her own yet. Arywin rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. His arms wrapped around her, holding her. She could feel the warmth of him surround her and she liked it. More than that, she loved it. She loved having him there to support her and greet her in the way that he did. Even though her heart didn’t beat, it would beat for him.
Arywin sighed. She couldn’t believe that she could fall for a guy so easily. Opening her eyes, Arywin looked up at him. He was staring down at her with a gently expression on his face telling her that he didn’t mind holding her. She shifted her gaze and found Libby sitting at another table, glass in hand. When she saw Arywin look at her, she lifted her glass with a huge grin on her face making Arywin look away with embarrassment.
“Hey come on, let’s go sit down.” Suggested Daniel. He pulled away and grabbed her drink while still holding her hand. Arywin brushed her hair out of her eyes and combed her fingers through it. Daniel turned back to her and smiled as he led her through the club. She followed him to the back corner to a small booth where there wasn’t much light. She smiled as he sat down onto the seat. Arywin joined him and cuddled against him under his arm.
Soon some of his friends joined them, but she ignored them. She focused on Daniel. Whenever he wasn’t in on the conversation, his lips were busy with hers. Many times, his friend told them to get a room but then they would suggest that they leave if they couldn’t stand their passion. Arywin laughed as his friends rolled their eyes at them.
Slowly they left them and by 2 am, Daniel and Arywin were alone. Arywin watched as Daniel’s last friend walked away and disappear into the crowd. Her eyes searched for Libby but she was no where to be find. Daniel cleared his throat causing Arywin to turn and look at him. She smiled up at him and pecked his lips.
“Well, we’re finally alone, Ary.” He stated as he pulled her in closed to him. Arywin laughed.
“Yah it was about time that your friends left.” She joked with him, giving his side a quick poke. Daniel jumped a little and then grabbed her hand before she could poke him again.
“Hey, that’s against the rules.” He teased bring his lips to hers again.
“I didn’t even know there were any rules.” She joked as she freed her hand and poked him again. Daniel unwrapped his arm around her and pinned it to his side to defend himself. Arywin only laughed. A movement caught her eye. She turned her head and found Drake sitting at a table a ways away from them, watching her. She guessed that he had been watching her for awhile by the look on his face.
She raised her eyebrows, daring him to do something. Drake just sat there glaring at her and that made her smile. She then turned her attention back to Daniel.
“See someone you know?” he asked searching her face.
Arywin just shrugged. “Not anyone important.” She replied as she tucked her legs underneath her. Daniel wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. Their lips met in a deep kiss. When they pulled away, Arywin found herself straddling Daniel’s legs. She smiled and him as she pressed her body to his and wrapped her arms around his neck.
His hands touched the skin on her back, drawing her in closer. Her mind clouded over, preventing her from thinking. All she could think was that she was good at this. When he pulled away to take a breath, Arywin left his lips to roam his face and neck with her own lips. She felt his hands grip her waist, digging his hands into her skin. Then the pressure released as he explored her back again. Her mouth returned to his with a needy kiss. She pulled away when his hands touched her breast. Her head rolled back as a moan escaped her. He lips lightly touched her skin on her collarbone.
The ringing of his phone broke them apart. “Damn it. Not again.” He said pulling it out of his pocket and opening it to answer the call. Arywin sat back still straddling him and waited for him to finish. His hand gently ran up and down her thigh as he talked on the phone. The call ended quickly but the look on his face didn’t look good.
“Damn.” He said as he put his phone away. He looked up at Arywin. “My boss wants me to come in tomorrow to go over some things with him, so I guess I have to leave.” He stated sadly. Arywin nodded and got up. She started to gather her things to leave herself but Daniel pulled her to him again. “But not without a good-bye kiss.” He laughed as he brought his lips to hers. The pleasure of it rippled through her, all the way down to the souls of her feet. When they pulled apart, they were both breathless. “I’ll call you later.” He promised as he walked away. Arywin stood there, wondering if she’d be able to move. Slowly she turned and found the eyes of Drake still on her. He was now pissed. Arywin smiled at him as she walked passed him to find Libby.
Arywin shook her head, clearing it, as one of the guards opened the door to the club. The sound and noise was overwhelming. People walked by and stared at them as they entered. Arywin put on a sheepish smile.
“Why are they staring at us?” she asked in Libby’s ear. Libby laughed and through her head back. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun with some loose strand falling around her face. She looked at Arywin with laughter in her eyes.

“Are you sure about this?” Arywin asked looking at herself in the dressing mirror.
“Arywin, you look fantastic.” Replied Libby coming up behind her. “Not to mention you look damn sexy.” Arywin rolled her eyes as she smoothed out her black shirt. She wouldn't really call it a shirt though. It was a halter top that revealed her entire back and was cut low in the front to show a good portion of her breast cleavage. A small thin sequin strap ran tightly around her back just under the shoulder blades and directly under her breasts, holding the fabric in place. There was another, thicker strap that hung loosely at her hips. There was another thicker piece of the sequin fabric that ran along the inside of the halter top neckline accenting her chest area. Her dark navy jeans hugged tightly to the curves of her legs and the black leather high heel boots she wore made her a few inches taller than Libby. She could feel the leather against her calves and just under her knees.
Libby knelt down and straightened her jeans on the outside of her boots. When she stood again, Libby could help but smile. “Arywin you’re going to knock him dead.” She laughed running her eyes up and down Arywin in the mirror.
Arywin just looked at herself, wondering how she had gotten herself into this kind of thing. Taking a deep breath, Arywin met Libby’s eyes in the mirror. “Alright, fine. Let’s get it.” Libby jumped up and down, clapping her hands. If her smile could go any wider, Arywin thought that her smile might reach from ear to ear.
Arywin walked back to the dressing room to change out of her clothes. She put on her light blue jeans and t-shirt with a black hoodie over top of it. Grabbing the clothes, Arywin exited the dressing room. Libby was standing there, credit card in hand. When she saw Arywin step out, she held out her hand to take the clothes. Arywin handed them to her and followed Libby to the checkout line. She knew that if she didn’t follow and watch her, Libby would try to sneak something in the purchase.
As Libby paid for the clothes, Arywin looked at her watch. It was only 8 o’clock. Only two and a half hours until she’d be meeting Daniel at the club. Pulling her out of her day dream, Libby grabbed a hold of Arywin’s hand and pulled her out of the store. They chatted about the evening as they walked back to Libby’s car, a silver Ferrari.
Arywin climbed in as Libby started the roaring engine. They rode in silence until Arywin noted that Libby wasn’t heading towards Arywin’s home. She looked over at Libby in confusion.
Libby just smiled and watched the road. “We’re heading to my house.” She said. “That way we don’t have to deal with you brother.”
Arywin rolled her eyes and looked back out the window. Everything passed by them in a blur. Frowning, Arywin looked over at the speedometer. 110 miles per hour. Arywin snorted as she looked back out the window. It was a miracle they didn’t get pulled over by the cops. Libby turned into a parking ramp and parked the car on the top level, VIP parking. Arywin looked up and saw that the sun was out. Catching Libby’s eye, she reached back into the back seat and grabbed the coats. Quickly they put them on as they climbed out of the car. Libby grabbed the bags and lead Arywin away from the car. She locked it without even turning back. Libby lead Arywin to the building attached to the parking ramp and opened the door.
Arywin found herself standing in an elegant lobby area. The front desk was made of polished oak with a golden marble surface as the top of the desk. Comfortable fancy chairs and couches filled the lobby area, surrounding a huge stone fireplace. Arywin thought for sure that she was standing in the lobby of a five star hotel. She gazed around in wonder.
Libby sighed, bring Arywin back to reality. Before she could react, Libby grabbed Arywin’s arm and drug her over to the gold door elevators. She pressed the up arrow and then door flew open. They both stepped into the fancy box and Libby pressed the top floor. The door closed again only to open a few seconds later. Libby stepped onto a platform and put her keep into one of the elegant glass doors in front of them. She opened up the door and lead Arywin inside.
The room was full of gold and white colors. See through curtains hung from the ceiling and were tied back against white marble pillars. There was a small fountain in the center of the room with three steps leading down to it. To the left, up some stairs was the kitchen and living area along with a single guest room. To the right was Libby’s elegant bedroom and another guest room. And straight ahead up some stairs was a pair of glass doors that lead to the huge balcony. The balcony overlooked the city from on top of the build.
Arywin stood there, not sure of where to go. Libby laughed at her as she put her coat away in the closet. Taking Arywin’s, she hung it on the wall hook. She rolled her eyes and she took Arywin’s arm and led her into Libby’s private room. It was darker in there. The colors were more dark red and purple. Her bed was a huge mattress designed to fit the corner of the room. Tons of pillows were on it along with red and purple blankets made of silk. A flat screen TV rested in the wall on the opposite side of the room with a little love seat in front of it. Another pair of glass doors led out to the balcony and her closet door was beside the bed. Arywin was afraid to go in there.
For the next couple of hours, Arywin sat on Libby’s bed helping her decide what to wear to the club tonight. They went through dress, jeans, shirts, skirt, anything and everything. Finally Libby came out in a bright red strapless dress. It was simple and had a small red belt to tie at the waist. The loose fabric hung down to about her knees. Libby decided to wear a pair of black high heels with the dress and a black sparkling necklace.
It was 10:15 by the time Arywin had gotten dress and they were heading out the door of Libby’s apartment. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach as Arywin thought about who she was meeting at the club and the night ahead of her.
“Arywin, you look fantastic.” Replied Libby coming up behind her. “Not to mention you look damn sexy.” Arywin rolled her eyes as she smoothed out her black shirt.

Vampire (Continued)
Libby swallowed hard before getting off of Rave. She looked at the ground while Arywin approached them. She looked from her brother to Libby and then back again. If Libby could blush, Arywin guessed that her face would have been bright red. Rave was refusing to make eye contact like Libby.
Arywin crossed her arms over her chest and waited for one of them to explain their selves. When she cleared her throat, Rave looked up at her.“I only told her about our way of life and our history, so don’t look at me.” He threw his arms in the air. Sighing, Rave stood. He didn’t want to argue at the moment. On his way out of the kitchen, Rave grabbed the whiskey bottle and left the two women alone.
Arywin watched her brother leave. A few moments after he disappeared, Arywin turned back to Libby. She was standing there with her head down and hand clenched together in front of her. She was looking at everything but Arywin.“Libby, what were you doing?” Arywin asked causing Libby to finally look up. Libby shrugged her shoulders as she looked away again. Arywin sighed in frustration. “Libby, you darn well know that Rave likes you. So you use that against him?”
“I only wanted answers Arywin. You know how much I hate it when people keep thing from me.” Libby replied angrily. “I have every right to know.”
“Oh do you, now?” Arywin asked. “Libby you have right to nothing. And using my brother like that to get answers is darn right low, even for you. You’re just going to have to suck it up and not know.” Libby glared at Arywin. Suddenly the silence was broken by Arywin’s cell phone. She reached into her jacket pocket and looked at the call ID. ‘Daniel’ it said. Taking a deep breath, she answered the phone.
“Hello?”
“Hey, Arywin?” He asked on the other end.
“Yah?”
“Hey, this is Daniel. I was wondering if you were coming to the club tonight?”
“Um…” She looked over at Libby. Libby’s mood had completely changed. She was smiling at Arywin, encouraging her to say yes. Arywin looked away and turned her back to Libby. “Um I guess I am. Why?”
“Just wondering if you were going. I’m going to be there tonight again with a couple of friend and I wanted to know if I could meet you there?”
“Well I guess so but I don’t think that I’m going to get there until at least 10:30 tonight.”
“Cool. Hey that’s fine. Well I’ll meet you there then.”
“Alright.”
“Bye.” They said together. Arywin pulled to phone away from her ear and pressed end. Slowly she turned back around to face Libby.She was standing there smiling at her, giving Arywin an uneasy feeling. “What?” she asked. Before Arywin could react, Libby sprang at her and wrapped her arms around her shoulders.
“Oh, Ary. You’re coming to the club tonight. That’s way exciting!” She could hardly contain her excitement. She started to bounce up and down but Arywin was staying planted on the ground. “Ug, we have to get you new clothes and shoes. We’ve got to get you looking damn sexy.”
“You will not.” Came a voice from behind them. Arywin turned around with Libby still hugging her shoulders. Rave was standing the doorway and from the look on his face, he had heard the conversation that Arywin had had on the cell phone.
Libby was the first one to react. She released Arywin and walked up in front of Rave. “And what gives you the right to stop us? Huh, Rave?”
Rave looked down at her with piercing eyes but Libby seemed unmoved by them. “How about the fact that I’m her older brother, Libby.?” Libby rolled her eyes.
“So. She’s a grown girl, Rave. She can do anything she wants besides pulling out of this one.” Replied Libby as she turned to look at Arywin. Arywin smile sheepishly as Libby rolled her eyes and looked back at Rave. “You’re just going to have to deal with it, big brother.” She mouth as she ruffled his bangs.
Annoyed, Rave pulled back to straighten his hair. Laughing, Libby turned around and grabbed a hold of Arywin’s arm. She lead her passed Rave and into the entryway. Libby quickly put her jacket on and then shoved Arywin’s on her shoulders. Looking up, Libby saw Rave enter into the room. Before he could say anything, Libby opened the door and pulled Arywin out behind her.
Rave sighed and rolled his eyes. Scratching his head, Rave turned back around and headed towards the living room. “I need more whiskey.”
Arywin crossed her arms over her chest and waited for one of them to explain their selves. When she cleared her throat, Rave looked up at her.“I only told her about our way of life and our history, so don’t look at me.” He threw his arms in the air. Sighing, Rave stood.
