As yet another week concluded, Gloria and her friends now found themselves looking forward to a fun filled weekend.
The football team had a game on Saturday and considering it was Halloween weekend naturally the students decided to throw a party. Now dressed in a slightly sexy witch outfit, Gloria and Caleb pulled up to the edge of Settlers Woods. "Well this is the place," she said happily.
Caleb closed the door to his Jeep, tipping his hat up as he gazed at the path before him. "Bonfire in the woods huh," he asked. "Sounds like fun still we should keep our eyes peeled, just in case."
Gloria nodded, as she now studied her boyfriend. "You know you could have dressed up," she said, pointing at the cowboy attire her boyfriend now wore.
"Whats wrong with going as a cowboy," he grinned. "Besides, best way to carry my gear." Gloria watched as Caleb now opened his duster, revealing several guns, a few knives, and a few magical items.
"True but you always dress like a cowboy," Gloria retorted. "Its kinda cheating." Caleb chuckled, placing his arm around Gloria as they now stepped into the woods.
The walk was quick, the students setting up the bonfire just far enough in to keep from being noticed. Already it appeared a large group of students had arrived, all dressed in various costumes. Caleb now glanced over to the side, noticing several kegs of beer as well as a table that was being used for beer pong. "Wow where did they get the beer?"
"I have a good idea," Gloria grumbled, pointing towards a rather large zombie football player. Caleb now looked to where Gloria was pointing, surprised to see Adam Haskins now dropping off yet another keg. As he approached he was puzzled as to why Adam seemed so much older.
Adam looked like a man in his mid twenties now. A five o clock shadow on his more angular face while his body seemed even more heavily muscled. "Adam," Caleb asked
"Dude you guys made it," he exclaimed, clapping his hands on Caleb and Glorias shoulders.
"Hi Adam wheres Felicia," Gloria sighed. Adam now gestured towards Felicia, the blond teen dressed as a black cat, a skin tight leotard with a tail and cat ears. Felicia now blushed as she saw the look on Gloria's face. "Umm hey Gloria."
"Guessing this is your work," she smirked, gesturing to Felicia's much older boyfriend. "Yeah but its only temporary," Felicia said quickly. "It was only to get the beer and then I was going to change him back. Here see!"
Caleb now watched as Felicia cast a spell on Adam. The muscular twenty somethings body beginning to thin as his dive o clock shadow vanished. Soon instead of a muscular man in his mid twenties, a muscular 17 year old with a smooth face stood in front of them. "Aw cmon babe I like being that jacked," he groaned. "Beside its not like anybody noticed. Not with the spell you cast."
"Sorry Adam but I wanted my boyfriend back," Felicia smirked as she now wrapped her arms around his neck.
"So does this kinda thing happen often," Caleb asked. Gloria chuckled, grabbing a pair of cups as the made their way towards the bonfire. "More often than you think I'll catch you up."
As the party now got underway, Gloria and the rest of her friends now hung around the bonfire, nursing their beers and dancing with their significant others. Gloria glanced over towards Sasha and Duke. The pair choosing a couples costume, with Sasha dressed as the Corpse Bride while Duke dressed as her groom. Gloria couldn't help but find the two of them absolutely precious as they huddled next to the fire. "I've never seen Sasha look so happy," Gloria sighed.
"Me either," Naomi said, the Asian teen dressed as a gender swapped Joker with Diane as her Harley Quin.
"I think she's actually really serious about him," Diane stated. "I mean have you noticed how she's been acting? I mean, I don't think she's gotten a detention all year!"
Gloria nodded in agreement, ever since Duke came into town Sasha appeared to have turned over a new leaf. She appeared to have gotten her explosive temper under control.
"I reckon a special someone can have that effect on a gal," Caleb smirked. Gloria chuckled, placing a tender kiss on her boyfriends cheek. "Dont get too full of yourself there cowboy."
As the large group of teenagers now laughed and partied, they were unaware they were being watched. A gathering if 50 vampires now watched deep with the shadows of the woods, biding their time and hoping to make an impression on Lord Miro.
