№12|Party Time (Part 2)
●══════⋆☆⋆══════●

Saree sniffed Ector’s neck intensively, “baby, please~! It’s just one little bite and I won't bother you till we get home.”

“Saree,” Ector kissed her lips, “I know you vampires love their mates blood but after this morning I’m still feeling lightheaded.”

“Fine…” she looked at Mama, who passed her a cup of blood, “here, drink this, hopefully this should hold you till the party ends so you won't hunt my chickens.”

Saree sweatdropped, “it happened one time…”

Diane giggled, “don't worry, if you need blood you can always use mine.”

Saree smelled her wrist, “ooh! Peppermint and liquorice, sweet blood is a really rare find.”

Mama noticed Emmanuel sulking on the terrace, “I’ll be right back.” she walked outside, standing beside Emmanuel. “Emmanuel,” she began, spooking Emmanuel slightly, “do you love Marmalade? Like truly love her?”

“I’ve felt this bitter emptiness inside of me since the day she left, it just keeps getting deeper and deeper everyday...I can feel myself going back to the way I was, I need her Mama, she’s my lifevest, the only thing keeping me afloat.”

Mama smiled and held her close, “you’re one of my kids now, I’m always here if you need to talk, go it?”

Emmanuel nodded, hugging her back, “Mama, do you think...she misses me?”

“Of course she does, Emmanuel, but don't worry, we’ll find her soon.”

Back inside, salsa music blasted through the speakers, “lets dance, Cruella!”

“Hex,” Cruella followed him onto the dance floor, “I don't know how to dance this.”

Hex laughed, “just trust me, let the music guide you.”

Apenas sale el sol y tú te vas corriendo.

Sé que pensarás que esto me está doliendo

Yo no estoy pensando en lo que estás haciendo

Si somos ajenos y así nos queremos.

Cruella struggled to keep up with Hex’s movements, but he slowed down to make sure she understood the basic steps. “See, easy!” Hex smiled. Cruella was surprised when she finally got the steps down.

“It is!” Cruella laughed, feeling the music flow through her as Hex spun her around, her white hair flowing gracefully. “Hex,” they continued dancing, “these last few months have been a godsend.”

Si conmigo te quedas

O con otro tú te vas

No me importa un carajo

Porque sé que volverás

Hex brushed her hair back, “Cruella, I hope you enjoy tonight, I made sure this party is perfect just for you.”

Cruella teared up, “for...me?”

Hex kissed her forehead, “all for you, my Marshmallow.”

“Why...why all this Hex?”

Si conmigo te quedas

O con otro tú te vas
No me importa un carajo

Porque sé que volverás

“Because Cruella, I’ve never felt so strongly about someone like you before. Your just...well, I suppose you know already, don't cha?”

“I-I-I don't…” Cruella looked down, ashmed. “Let me spell it out for ya,” he leaned in a whisper. Cruella’s eyes widened, her face flushed.

“Hex…”

Y si con otro pasas el rato

Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

Felices los 4

Te agrandamos el cuarto

“You really mean it? What you just said?” Cruella muttered into his shoulder. “You should know by now I did mean it.” Hex kissed her forehead, “he’s never said that to you, has he?”

Cruella shook her head, “never, but hearing it off your lips makes me feel special.”

“How’s it feel? The feeling of specialness?”

“Invigorating!”

Y si con otro pasas el rato

Vamo' a ser feliz, vamo' a ser feliz

Felices los 4

Yo te acepto el trato

“If only Christopher could make me feel like this…” Cruella muttered. “Free?” Hex asked. “Free, loved, appreciated, accepted...all the things you make me feel.” Cruella sighed in delight.

Y lo hacemos otro rato

Y lo hacemos otro rato

Y lo hacemos otro rato

Y lo hacemos otro rato

Hex lifted up her chin, “gods your beautiful…”

“Hex, I lo-”

Before she could finish, the doors busted wide open, stopping the music, to reveal Christopher, “there you are Cruella!” Chrstipher ripped her away from Hex, “you said the party would be over by 10 pm, it’s midnight! You had me worried sick!”

“I’m fine, Chistopher, just go back home.” Cruella rolled her eyes. “No! We're going home now! I don't want you being around these lowlifes.”

“Those lowlifes are my friends, one of which made me feel more alive than in all the days we’ve been together!” Cruella scolded.

Christopher glared at Hex, “this is your fault! Before she met you, me and her were happy.”

“We were never happy!” Cruella escaped his grasp. “Our relationship was hell and you know it!”

“Maybe that's because you were always running off with Hex over here!” Christopher pointed judgingly at Hex. 

“Don't bring him into this, Hex and his family are the best thing that's ever happened to me! And another thing, Hex is an amazing man, an actual man unlike you. Rather than bashing him, you should be taking notes.”

“Take notes?” Christopher laughed mockingly, “on how to be a 'real man' from a gang leader!?” Christopher laughed louder, “Cruella, I don't need to take notes on how to be a real man, maybe you should take notes on how to be a good girlfriend.”

“Excuse me!? I've tried to be a good girlfriend, but you're impossible to be with! You know nothing about me!” Cruella exclaimed. “That's not true!” Christopher denied.

“What's my favorite food?”

“Piz-” “Sushi.” Hex spoke over Christopher.

“Favorite movie?”

“Guardians of the Galaxy.”

“Favorite candy?”

“Dip and Dots…?” Christopher guessed. “Kit Kats.” Hex replied.

“S-So! So what! I don't know little things about you so what?” Christopher scoffed. “I'm still better than him.”

Cruella sighed, not being able to take this anymore “please leave, Christopher.”

“Glady,” Christopher clutched onto her wrist “but she goes with me.”

Christopher pulled her out of the mechanic, Cruella tried to reach out for him but Hex couldn't catch her in time.

Christopher threw her into the car forcefully before getting in himself. “Let me out Christopher! I want to go back to the party!” Cruella pounded on the windows, her eyes glimmering with hope when she saw Hex chasing after Christopher's car.

“Hex! Get me out of here!” Cruella yelled through the muffled windows. “Christopher! If you don't stop this car right now i swear I'll-”

“You'll what? Shoot me? Yeah, try it, I dare you.” Christopher floored it, causing the car to zoom past the bullets.

“Hex!” Cruella's voice was drowned out into the night as Hex watched helplessly as Christopher drove away with Cruella.

The door to Marmalade and Edgar's cell opened, Catania's black heels clicked on the wet, cold floor.

“Wake up Marmalade,” Catania slapped her awake. Marmalade slowly opened her eyes to see Emmanuel on a tablet screen, “Manny…” Marmalade whispered.

“Oh? Is that what you call him? Adorable,” Catania rolled her eyes in disgust, “I wonder how he would react if he saw you right now.”

Catania clicked the camera button, calling Emmanuel off a private number. Emmanuel picked up the phone, “hello?”

“I have a little surprise for you, Manny~” Catania's voice was wired to sound deeper than usual. Catania turned on the camera, showing Emmanuel just how bruised and damaged Marmalade really was.

“Marmalade!“ Emmanuel shouted, getting the room's attention. “Oh my gods…” Dizzy covered her mouth in horror.

“Isn't she just exquisite?” Catania slapped her cheek slightly, showing her emerald green snake ring “men really seem to like her, I guess it's because of the fact she has boons that aren't too big but not too small. Or maybe it's the fact she's too weak and exhausted to stop them.”

“You monster! Where are you!? As soon as I find you you're dead!” Emmanuel threatened. “Emmanuel…? ” Edgar coughed up blood.

“Edgar!?” Jasmine snatched the phone out of Emmanuel's hands. “Edgar! What have they done to you?”

“Jasmine!” Edgar's eyes widened, wincing in pain as Jasmine noticed his left eye was severely damaged.

“Edgar…what have they done to you?” Jasmine muttered through her hand that covered her mouth in shock.

“A couple days ago I had a guy in here with Marmalade and Edgar tried to stop him so the man shot him with a laser gun in the eye.” Catania laughed, “man I love my job.”

“Who are you? Where are you keeping my big brother?!” Mama scolded. “Wouldn't you like to know?” were Catania’s last words before shutting off the camera.

Christopher bursted open the door to Cruella’s apartment, since Gabriella moved out 6 months ago to be with Diane, Chistopher and Cruella shared the place.

“How could you be dancing with him?!” Christopher scolded, throwing her onto the couch. “Because I was having fun Christopher!” Cruella stood up, “something we never have.”

“We have fun!” Christopher defened. “No, you have fun, I suffer.” Cruella clairefied, glaring daggers at him. “Cruella,” Christopher pinched the bridge of his nose, “you don't get it-”

“No I don't think you get it! I’m my own woman, if I want to grind against somebody to latin music for a night best believe I’ll do it!” Cruella stated, getting closer to his face, “I’m not some property you can own!”

Christopher clutched her wrist hard, his nails digging into them, “I’m doing this for your own good, Cruella.” Christopher pushed her against the wall. “Get off of me!” Cruella yelled, trying to push him off of her.

“Can't you see that I’m better than that street rat?!” Christopher pinned both wrists to the wall. “Christopher! Stop!” Cruella yelled as he kissed her roughly, forcing his tongue into her mouth.

“Why can't you just stay still?!” Christopher growled. And then, it happened, the moment that changed history.

A punch to the right eye.

Cruella fell to the floor, holding her eye, “get...out…” she growled deeply, heaving up and down.

“Cruella-”

“GET OUT!” Cruella roared, Christopher stood his ground, “fine...I’ll leave then…” Cruella gathered her purse and a large black hoodie before tossing Christopher the keys, “I hope that punch was worth it…”
