I was still trying to come up with a good response to that when the hairs on the back of my neck started to go up. And that's when I smelled it. It's always hard to describe in English how I smell things it's kinda like trying to explain the colour red to someone who's been blind since birth. But this.. this didn't smell like anything I've ever smelled before. It smelled kinda like the blood of a fresh kill , like the pack gathered together for warmth , like a fresh joint of meat roasted gently over an open fire. It smelled like all that but so much better. I wanted to smell more of it, I needed to smell more of it. I don't know exactly how long I'd been standing there when I came back to my senses but Miss Mullins had been saying something. "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" I asked as I noticed the smell seemed to be coming from her. By this point my instincts were going haywire and it was getting hard to think I wanted to stay but the part of me that was a predator was screaming danger. I shook my head trying to clear it "Look can we sort this tomorrow. I have somewhere I really need to be."

Glancing around the bathroom surreptitiously, it looks surprisingly like a normal bathroom, though it smells a bit worse and the tiling is blue. Not sure what I expected really, but at least it's empty but for the two of us. Walking towards the stall with the pair of feet in it, a smile start's to spread across my lips. I was annoyed about this, even with the comfort of doing God's Will, right up until this moment, when another feeling started to rise up inside of me. Is this is the thrill of the hunt? Or the righteous feeling of delivering God's Justice, protecting the weak? I don't know, but... it feels good. I was going to take things diplomatically.... but now... I kind of want to kick the door down and grab - no, he'd have a knife, that's dangerous. Walking up to the door, I give it a testing push to see if he didn't think to lock it before he went for the knife.

I shrug, not really that worried about it. Hunter was a dick, anyhow, so that's his business to worry about. I say, "Okey doke. I'll talk to you later!"

Tugging at Rowan's arm, I basically pull him into my room and lock the door behind me. Phew! Well, Mom didn't seem bothered about the party, so that's cool. All that really needs to get done... is some fashion magic. Rowan is gonna look great, I can already see it.

I say, "Okay, so, here's what I need you to do: take your clothes off." I think about it for a minute, realize that could be construed really wrong and quickly add, "So I can dress you up! You're going to look amazing!"

Wow, now that I give him a good look... Rowan's been doing a really good job of hiding all those muscles. I slip my glasses off and the soft focus makes it even better. It almost makes me think, just for a moment, that we could blow off the party and have some fun on our own. But, y'know, my mom's downstairs, so... maybe another time. I walk over to my closet and pull out some clothes that I'd bagged up for Good Will. Let's see... there's that skirt I used to love, that top that wasn't quite low cut enough to be cool, some leggings... Yeah, y'know what, I can work with this.

I say, "Alright, I think I have some stuff that might work. Let me just take a few quick measurements..." I run my hands along Rowan's body, just to check his shoulder width, of course, and I hmm and haw for a few minutes like I'm really thinking about measurements. Which I'm definitely thinking about. "...Yep, I think this should fit. Put it on and I'll take a run at getting some make-up on you, alright?"

I practically freeze up when Sofia touches me, and I could feel my heart pounding like a jackhammer, and that's when I realize how close we are to each other. I gulp, surpressing any... thoughts... I might be having right now, and look at the outfit she provided me with. It's... not the kind of clothes I'd typically wear, but I'm not against it. I've always wanted to try on a skirt, but, well, I never really had a chance, not until now, anyways. "Um, okay!"

I put on the skirt and the top, and slip on the leggings, and I'm surprised at how well her clothing fits on me. "So, um," I do a little spin, presenting myself in my full new outfit to Sofia, giving me a waay more feminine appearance "How do I look?"

Good, he didn't! Grinning to myself, I'm not about to let him get the door shut and locked. Figuring he won't expect quite so much resistant force, I push back harder, putting all of my weight and what remains of my swimmers muscles into it to to shove the door open and burst in. "No you don't!"

I'm about to go into the whole spiel about how Rowena is Rowan's cousin or my friend from NY or both when... I've got a phone call? Weird. Super weird. Better go check it, though. I say to Rowan, "Hey, hang tight for a sec. I'll be right back and I'll grab you a drink or something while I'm down there." I give him a thumbs-up, totally casual, then I call down, "Coming, mom!"

A moment later, I slip out of the room and head on down to the phone. I'm sure Rowan is gonna be just fine, he seems pretty quiet and normal. Probably not going to go through my drawers or anything... but I might check when I get back, just in case!

Oh, Mom. Geez. I can't believe you did this... is what I'd like to say, but seriously. I totally can. Well, nothing to do but sass Hunter. Even on the phone he's a total prick.

I say, "I mean, I'm not the one who sucker-punched someone and gave 'em a black eye. You think I went out of my way? Nah, I got the third degree right when I got home." I look over at Mom and try to figure how far I can push this without looking bad. I mean, I'm still pretty mad at Hunter, so hitting him with a vicious burn would kind of make my day. Might as well let this play for a second, though, and see if I can't get him to escalate first. I say, "Well, an apology would be a nice first step."

Ugh, this sucks. I thought Ms Roberts was supposed to be cool. Guess I read her wrong. I mean just storming out is always an option but that'd just cause more problems. I didn't like it but I didn't have much choice. "Fine," I said grumpily and picked up the pencil and began writing. For once some of the things my dad had said to me over the years were actually helpful and I pretty much regurgitated most of the relevant crap onto the page. It kind of sickened me to lie like that but it's not like I had that much choice really. I'm not sure how long it took me exactly but I handed the notebook and pencil back to Roberts with a curt "Done. Can I go now?"

Okay, that isn't great. Eyes flicking between his face and the knife, the fact that he doesn't realize who I am is starting to worry me. Even as much as the idea of beating him down and taking the knife like that is appealing, I can't help but worry about getting cut, more scars, or hurting him too much. He might be up to no good, but I don't want to cut him open either... Taking a step back to put some space between us, I hold up my hands. "Hey, it's me. Lucy. Look, I don't want to get you in trouble, just give me the knife, right?" Do it, please. That'll be the easiest outcome for both of us...

Sofia: "At least I don't go running to Mommy to snitch."

Hunter gives you the condition Tattletale

You hear some noise in the background, possibly his parents trying to step in. Your own mom looks concerned since you're clearly arguing with him. He gets back on the phone with a sigh. "Fine, look. I'm really sorry that I hit you. Is that what you want? Or do you want to talk to my parents some more?" You can tell he's just saying that to get his mom and dad off his back. But he might also tell everyone that you got your mom and his parents involved if you keep pushing him. What do you do?

Serenity: Ms. Mullins looks over the paper, makes you clarify and rewrite some sections, until finally she says, "Very well. You may leave now." Looking out you can see it's fairly late - you might need to catch a ride or something if you want to get to the party soon. The only other person leaving is Alpha, who is getting into his pickup truck. What do you do?

I mean, how will the teachers even know I'm taking it? Could be that I found it and you're trying to lie. You tried to claim I took it this morning and then went back on it.

Ah... That's...

It is tempting to take him up on that. He laid out a lot of good reasons too, and I could just move on with this. And why should I listen to god anyway, when she kicked me out for saving someone's life? But no, no, what could he want with the knife but something bad, I need to stop him. I can't forget that warmth of doing what god said either, the sense of belonging, no matter how fleeting. Where was that bravado a moment ago? But what can I do? I could take a picture of him with the knife, and try to blackmail him? That seems like it'd go badly. Appeal to his better nature? Probably not, but maybe... Scream, and hope that me being a girl in a guys bathroom while he has a knife gets me the sympathetic position? A bit more potential. But none of these are good plans. Should I just hit it out of his hand?

"Look, what do you want with it?" Trying to delay him while I make up my mind, I am genuinely curious. Maybe his reason for it is good, and God is wrong about this just like she was wrong about my life.

I end up watching him go helplessly, cursing inside my head. What a joke, coming in here without any real plan. I should have taken a photo of him with the knife, at least that would have given me some leverage. Waiting a minute so I don't have to see his stupid face I push the door open cautiously, and step out as soon as it looks like no one is watching, hurrying a bit down the hall until people wouldn't be connecting me with the guys bathroom and pull my hood down. Groaning, I sulk off towards the exit. I'm getting out of this building, going home to change and then getting to the party as soon as I can. Hopefully I can forget about this disaster there, and the God who set me on this mission, even if my failure is my fault. She should have known better...

By the time you all get there the party's started and most people who were invited have made it.

Rowan: Garfield is currently talking to Sofia. You can see Vinay further off inside, a red cup in his hand and heading outside. You also hear the notification of a text message. What do you do?

Serenity: Alpha smiles a little. "That's what me and Hunter were going to do." He stops by Hunter's house, who gets in the passenger seat before noticing you're here. He grins and says "Wow Serenity, crashing Garfield's party? You could get into a lot of trouble." He lifts his hand for a high-five. Do you return it?

Alpha drives everyone close to Garfield's house but parks out of sight. "Someone might see us and snitch," Hunter says. He brings the two of you to a fence and motions to Alpha. "Lift me up man." Alpha does so, and then the two of you climb after him and make it into Garield's backyard. Hunter is looking around and Alpha pauses for a moment before saying, "Do you want to get something to drink?" What do you do?

Lucy: Even when you're not reaching out to Her, as you walk to Garfield's house, you can feel feel the disappointment and frustration from God. What do you make of that?

When you reach to Garfield's house, you see Alpha and Serenity climbing over the fence. Safe to say they weren't invited. What do you do?

I felt bad about failing before, but the trip over with God's disappointment shining down on me was enough to first make me feel worse, and then stop feeling bad. What right did she have to reproach me? I'm not in the mood at all to get a spectral finger wag! Stomping up towards Garfield's house in even more of a temper than I left the school with, I stop for a moment to watch Serenity climb the fence. Still bitter, I'm not sure how I feel as I watch that. She reminds me of god then, just doing what she thinks is best, but she also reminds me of, well, me, right now. She doesn't care if she's invited or not, she wants to get in. That... speaks to me. Giving them a wave if they notice and feeling even more conflicted, I head up to the porch. I'm about to ignore Sofia and say hi to Garfield, when I catch sight of the girl with him and come up short for a second, blinking. Is that... Rowan?

I say, "Hey, Garfield. This is my cousin, Rhonda. She's in town for a bit, visiting, and I thought it'd be cool to show her the Salem party scene. That cool with you? Sorry it's last minute and all..."

Sofia distinctly thinks that going to the party, loosening up, and having a good time is in Rowan's best interests.

"Hi, nice to meet you," I say to Garfield, pitching my voice up a little higher to sound more feminine. I should go check up on Vinay when I have the chance, but first, I take out my phone, and check to see what's the message I just got.

You're fucking subhuman
Sofia: Garfield takes a look at Rowan. "...Sure," he says. "Yeah, that's fine." He turns to Rowan. What do you do?

Rowan: The message is from Mordecai:

hey
got something to show you
it's pretty good
when can we meet?

Garfield moves closer to you and puts his hand out. "Nice to meet you too Rhonda. I can show you around if you like?" He seems hopeful that you'll take him up on it. Vinay heads outside, and Garfield will probably want to show you his house first. What do you do?

Lucy: Garfield seems more interested in this new girl then greeting you. What do you do?

"Row-" I cut myself off, hearing what they're saying. Rhonda? Isn't that Rowan? I don't get it... Looking over their shoulders, I give Sofia a 'What?' look rather than the usual dirty one she gets when she's not looking. That's definitely Rowan, so why is she pretending to be someone else. "Want to get a drink Sofia?"

I give Rowan a reassuring thumbs-up, then turn to Lucy and say, "Sure, I could use a drink."

Sure, why not. It'd be nice to have some company when crashing the party. I return his high five with perhaps a little too much force and his hand recoils as if he's just been stung. Oops, sometimes I forget my own strength. Still drinks sound good. I want at least a couple in me before I have to *sigh* apologise to Elroy. Still it's worth it right if I can win over Jayla I suppose. "I'm gonna go grab a beer, can I get you guys anything while I'm there?" I do kinda owe them after all if it wasn't for them I'd still be stuck in school.

"U-uh, g-give me a second, p-please," I say to Garfield, before typing out a quick reply to Mordecai.

Annd send. I look up from my phone, and shake Garfield's hand, "U-uh, t-t-thanks, but I d-don't w-want to be a b-bother or anything," I inch back a little, my eyes moving to where Vinay is heading, "I'll j-just t-t-take a l-look around m-myself, if t-that's okay," and I need to quickly start moving to where Vinay went before I lose him.
