Chapter 12

Song is Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy

I look in the mirror, slightly self-conscious. Even though I'm just wearing pajamas, which consist of a Twenty One Pilots hoodie and some bottoms, I have a problem: my hoodie is so big, it covers up my bottoms, which happen to be shorts. I feel like I'm going to get in trouble or something. I would've changed my shorts to something longer, but the problem is, all my other clothes are at Jace's house.

I sigh in defeat. May as well accept the fact that I feel exposed and head on out. I walk to Violet's room, finding it and knocking on the door. She flings it open, grinning. She's wearing some cute purple cat pajamas.

"Sera! You look adorable in that huge hoodie! Um, do you have anything underneath?"

"Yeah, I just don't have any of my longer pajama bottoms," I say, blushing.

She nods, opening the door wider for me to enter. When I do enter, her room screams 'purple-lover' at me.

"Wow, I like your room," I tell her in awe.

"Thanks," she giggles.

"Come on! Let's get started! Okay, so first, we're going to play some games!" Violet squeals, hopping onto her bed.

"Like?" I ask.

"Truth or dare!"

"Ooh, Drake and I used to play that all the time!"

I hop onto her bed too, smiling.

"I'll go first! Truth or dare, Sera?"

"Um, truth."

"Okay. So, what was your first kiss?"

I pale.

"Um, when I got... bit, Ryan kissed me. So, that would technically be my first kiss, though I've never kissed anyone else... on the lips, that is," I reply, looking down.

"Oh, sorry I asked."

"It's fine," I reply, waving my hand in the air to wave off her apology.

"Your turn! Truth or dare, Vi?" I ask her.

"Hmm, dare."

I smirk, an evil light dancing in my eyes.

"Okay, I dare you to scream 'I'm a dolphin'!"

She smirks, rolling her eyes.

"That's it?"

"Nope! You have to do it at school tomorrow, during lunch," I continue, grinning devilishly.

"No!" She gasps.

"Yes!"

"Nooooo," she moans, covering her face in her hands.

"Mwahahaha. Okay, I want truth."

"Okay. Do you like Quinn?"

I stop short. Hmm, that is actually a good question. Do I like Quinn? I'm warming up to him, that's for sure. And I have kissed him on the cheek multiple times. I also don't flinch and move away when he hold me close to him. Does that count as 'liking' him?

"Um, I'm not sure, but I do know for certain, I feel something for him," I whisper, feeling shy.

She squeals, tackling me and giggling. I laugh along with her, glad that she took this so happily.

"I'm so happy you're warming up to him! He really is a great guy. Trust me."

I let go of her, smiling.

"Okay, since you dare is going to be really bad, why don't we just do something else?" I tell her.

She nods, smiling.

"Sure. Why don't we go downstairs and get some snacks? Penny, the girl who served you today, told me that tons of junk food was made and bought yesterday. Let's go get it!" She giggles, whispering.

"Ooh!"

She gets up, rushing to the door. We silently creep down the hallway, when she pauses, pointing to the light under Alpha's Harris' and Quinn's offices right next to each other.

"Shh, we have to hold our breath and creep quietly to the stairs. As long as we give them no reason to become fully alert, they won't use their wolf sense to hear our heartbeat. But if they do, just calm down, and walk as if you were another person going somewhere."

I nod, giving her a thumbs up. I take a breath and begin to slowly take steps past Alpha Harris' office door. We get past his door, but when I pass by Quinn's door, a shadow passes over the light under the door. Two feet. Oh no.

I turn to Violet, panic in my eyes. She puts a finger to her mouth, flicking her hand to say to move. I nod, calming my heart down and walking past the door as if I was another person. A floorboard in the office creaks, then the shadow retreats.

After we both walk past the doors, we both sigh heavily in relief. Violet then rushes down the stairs, grabbing my hand and pulling me along.

"Oh my gosh, that was freaking close!" I whisper-yell.

She nods.

We get to the kitchen, and luckily, it's deserted. The girls from earlier are gone.

Violet turn on one of the lights, one that's away from the staircase in case someone comes, and grins at me.

"So, what do you want?" She asks me.

"Hmm, what do they have?"

She goes to the large pantry, sifting through the contents on the shelves.

"They have reeses pieces, ooh oreos! Um, marshmallows-" she lists of, but I stop her when she says 'marshmallows'.

"Marshmallows?! Oh my gosh, gimme', gimme', gimme'!" I whisper-shout.

She giggles, tossing the back of fluffy goodness behind her back. I grab it, cradling it to my chest.

"Peanut butter, nutella, butter cookies, and a bunch of other stuff," she finishes.

She comes out with a box of oreos and the tub of peanut butter. I walk over to the fridge now, excited. I open it to find the remains of a chocolate cake with raspberry sauce drizzled on top. I grab that, passing it to Violet, and right behind it, find some leftover brownies in a container. Jackpot! I giggle in my head.

"Violet, check the freezer! See if there's any ice cream!"

She nods, ducking under me to access the freezer. I close the fridge and balance all my treasure in my hands. She suddenly squeals softly, pulling out a carton of cookies and cream ice cream and a carton of mint chocolate chip.

"Oh my gosh! Mint ice cream! Oh, here's your fave', Sera!" She giggles holding them up.

I grin, grabbing the carton and adding it to my stash. She closes the freezer and grabs her haul.

"Okay, let's go before someone comes down," I whisper to her, going to the stairs.

She follows, and we head up stairs. When we reach the offices, we pause.

"I'll go on ahead, to make sure no one will hear us," I whisper to her.

I'm about to start walking, when Alpha Harris' door opens, and him and Quinn step out. My breath hitches, and I back into Violet, who whispers a 'hey!' in protest. I turn around and push her around the corner.

"Sera! Stop it! What's wrong?" She whispers, slightly angry at me for pushing her.

"Shhh, Quinn and Alpha Harris are coming by. Be freaking quiet!" I whisper extra soft, though I know that if the Alpha and Quinn had been paying attention, they would already have caught us.

Her eyes widen and she steps back more around the corner. I follow her.

"-but we need to hurry! Astra said that they plan to sever our wolves away from us! We need to act now, not walk around as if everything is okay!" Quinn's voice suddenly rises from their previous whispers.

"Quinn, you have Serafina you have to worry about now! She's too fragile to have to worry about you doing something that could get you killed! And if she's what her mother was, then she'll be even more worried! You know they detest violence with a passion!" Alpha Harris scolds.

"Yes, I know. I know that if she really is a-" he suddenly pauses.

They come into view right by the staircase. Quinn pauses, looking down. He tilts his head every so slightly, towards Violet and I. My eyes widen and Violet peeps from behind me. I turn to her, shaking my head. He sniffs, and I realize he's picked up on my scent. Oh no.

I back away into the shadows, right behind the corner, so he can't see me. And just in time too. His head whips over to where I just stood. Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, I mentally panic. He steps closer, searching the shadows for something, or rather, me.

He sighs when he can't find anything, turning back to his father.

"I thought I smelled and heard Sera, but I think I'm just imagining things. I need to go see her soon," he tells Alpha Harris.

Alpha Harris smiles, chuckling, and leads Quinn downstairs.

"You can go see her in a bit. I'm sure she's having fun with Violet. First, we need to go have a chat with our 'friend'," Alpha Harris says, before their shadows and voices go away.

I breathe out in relief, walking out from the shadows.

"Oh my gosh, that was so freaking close, Sera," Violet whispers to me.

"Yeah," I breathe.

What did they mean by 'what her mother was'? My mother and father were human, right? But then, how's Jace a werewolf? Were my parents werewolves? If so, then why would they say 'they detest violence with a passion'? It seems to me like werewolves don't hate violence, so who are they talking about?

I clear my thoughts away, tiptoeing to Violet's room again.

We shut the door as soon as we get in her room.

"That was such a rush!" Violet exclaims.

I roll my eyes. Yeah, enough of a rush to give me a heart attack.

"Come on, Sera, let's get a movie and dig into our haul!" She squeals.

I giggle, dropping my stuff onto her bed and following her to her movie selection. We decide to watch a scary movie, then a comedy, just to wash away our fear from the scary movie.

After we pop it into the DVD player, we hop onto the bed, grabbing the ice cream cartons first. We also brought spoons, luckily. The movie starts to play and I scream, flipping some ice cream onto my face. Violet bursts out laughing, holding her stomach afterwards.

"Oh my gosh, Sera! The movie just started! Nothing's happened yet!" She cackles.

"Hey! That sudden music scared me!" I defend.

She continues to laugh, tears now rolling down her cheeks.

We continue to watch the movie. We're now at the part where the psychopath with the chainsaw is about to open the closet door to kill the girl. As he opens the door, our door suddenly opens as well, making us both screech and hold each other in absolute terror. Violet and I start to bawl, as the figure in our doorway just stares, holding something that looks like a large knife.

"I'm too young to die!" Violet bawls.

I continue to sob as well, holding on to her. The person comes in, their heavy footsteps slowly approaching my side of the bed.

"I l-love you, Vi! You're the best girl-friend I've ever had," I confess to her, sobbing and shaking.

"Girls! I'm not going to kill you! I just came to check on you!" Tyler cries out.

Violet and I stop crying, looking up at Tyler, who actually holds a spoon. He looks at our haul, grinning.

"I see some people raided the kitchen. Can I share in on the spoils?"

"S-sure," Violet stutters, still shaky.

Tyler grins, sitting down on the bed with us. He takes Violet's carton of ice cream and digs his spoon into it.

"Wait, how'd you find out we took the stuff?" I ask him, curious.

" Oh, I saw you guys leave the room."

"But you didn't know where we would go."

"Yeah, I did. Violet loves to raid the kitchen, so I just put two and two together."

"Oh."

He grins. I let it go, pressing play on the movie again.

We finish the movie, along with half our food. Tyler pops in the comedy now.

By the middle of the movie, the food has long since been eaten, and now Tyler and Violet snore softly, cuddled together. My eyes start to close, when the door opens again. Someone chuckles, and by the voice, I know it's Quinn.

He walks slowly over to where I am, half asleep, surrounded by the empty bags and cartons of our haul. Hehe, we got caught red-handed.

"Sera, where did you get all this junk food?" He asks, amused, but still worried.

He leans over me, his eyebrows knit together in worry. I groan, sitting up and rubbing my eyes.

"Uh-huh-huh," I chuckle slowly, trying to stall, "I-we, um, raided the kitchen. Violet and I."

"Really?" Quinn asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Um, yeah."

"When?"

"Um, before and after you left your office," I confess, looking down.

I may as well tell him the whole truth, because I know it will slip one way or another.

"Hmm, does it just so happen you were in the hallway by the staircase, hiding from me when I smelled you?" He asks.

I look up, and find him smirking, because I have a feeling he already knows the truth.

"Hehe, yeah."

"I'm honestly impressed that you were able to hide," he chuckles.

I blush, looking down. I feel like a child being caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

"But it seems you were caught anyways," he continues, picking up the empty bag of marshmallows.

"Y-yeah. We were too tired to hide our trash. And Tyler said that you wouldn't come in, since he saw you head to your room."

"I did, but Hunter kept on bugging me to check on you."

Darn you, Hunter the big, black, wolf!

Quinn looks down at me, his eyes flickering between blue and gold.

"Q-Quinn?" I stutter, getting nervous.

His eyes go fully gold now.

"Hmm, well, I'm not Quinn, but yes, Baby?"

"Uh, Hunter, then?"

"Yes?" He prods, motioning for me to continue.

"Um, why isn't Quinn there?"

"Oh, well, I told him we need to punish you for pulling that little stunt on us," he says, grinning mischievously.

I gulp nervously.

"Uh, um, h-how are you going t-to do that?" I stutter.

His grin widens and he dips down to my ear.

"Well, you're not allowed to leave my side now, of course. No matter where you go, unless I specifically tell you otherwise, you'll have to have me by your side, or a guard," he whispers into my ear.

His soft voice makes me shiver slightly, and he pulls back, scooping me up into his arms.

"Hey!" I squeal softly, holding onto the collar of his shirt in fear.

He chuckles, turning to the door.

"I think you've had enough Violet-time for now, don't you think?" He asks rhetorically, looking down at me.

I look down at my exposed legs, blushing again. Hunter notices where I'm looking at and smirks, staring at my legs.

"Eww, no! Bad, er, Wolfie!" I scold, slapping his chest lightly.

He bursts into laughter, looking down at me again. This time, his eyes are blue. Quinn's back.

"Aye, Sera, you really are way too innocent for this world. But I love you anyways," he says, leaning down and brushing his nose with mine.

I giggle a bit, feeling butterflies in my stomach. Wow, my feelings for him went from fear to... whatever this is, so fast! Wait, he said he loved me! Oh...

He kisses my nose, then my forehead, making me blush and quietly giggle to myself. Since when have I been so giggly? Oh wait, I've always been that way, just not around Quinn.

He walks into an unfamiliar hallway, now instead of all single doors, in the back, three sets of double doors are present, along with the usual single doors.

"What's this hallway?" I ask.

"This is the Alpha and Beta hallway. Jace, Tyler, Tyler's parents, my parents, and myself all sleep up here. Once Violet and you both fully become Tyler's and my mates, you'll move in up here too."

"Well, why am I not in my hallway?" I ask.

"Because this is part of your punishment. I have to watch you at all times, so we either sleep in your room, or mine."

I huff, crossing my arms over my chest like a cry baby. He stops in front of a pair of double doors, using one hand to open it. I gasp when I get a full view of his room. It's freaking huge! He crosses the room to his bed, plopping me down.

"Your room is freaking huge! Why is it so big?!" I exclaim.

"Because I wanted it to be big, and once we become fully mated, then you'll move in up here with me, since the Luna doesn't sleep in the guest hall."

"Oh," I say, slightly sad that I learned that; I like my bedroom now.

I look down at my almost completely bare legs, and look up at Quinn.

"Do you have any sweats?" I ask him.

"Huh?"

"Can I borrow a pair? All of mine are at the house," I explain.

He frowns.

"But I like how you look now," he whines.

I grimace, hopping off the bed and walking over to his closet.

"Fine then, I'll grab a pair myself," I declare.

I find some, granted they're really long. I walk into his large bathroom, locking the door behind me. When I slip them on, they hang on the very edge of my hips, about to fall off. The pant legs reach the floor and bundle in on itself. I huff, leaving like it like that, and unlock the door.

When I come out, I pull my large hoodie down further, to hide how low these pants are. Quinn sits on the bed, looking down at his phone. That's when I realize he's not wearing a shirt... oh. He also has on another pair of his sweats.

He looks up from his phone, and bursts out laughing, almost falling off the bed.

"Hey! It's not that funny!" I defend.

"No, no, it's funny, Angel. But, it's also freaking adorable. The pants look like they're swallowing you whole!" He chuckles, standing up and walking over to me.

He scoops me up into his arms, almost making my pants fall off.

"Hey! Be careful!" I exclaim.

He chuckles, walking me over to the bed. He gently lays me down and I roll over, throwing the cover over me afterwards. Just to annoy him, I spread myself out, covering up most of the bed, and pull the sheets right over my head.

"Haha!" I laugh, my voice sounding muffled in the covers.

He chuckles, before opening the cover from his side, and sliding in, just moving my arm and leg aside.

"Noooo," I moan, pouting like a child.

He turns to me, grinning.

"You're such a child sometimes," he murmurs, tapping my nose.

"Well, you're a perv," I counter.

He grins, shrugging.

"But I'm your pervert, right?"

"Yup," I murmur, starting to close my eyes.

He pulls me to him, and my hands go in front of me, against his bare chest. I'm glad the room's dark, otherwise he would see me blushing at the contact.

"Night, Angel," he mutter, already falling asleep.

"Night, Quinn."  

Oh wow, it's my lucky day - well- YOUR lucky day, right? This chapter was 3,209 or something words! Wowee! I think it's been one of my longest chapters, but hey, it was convenient seeing as this chapter is a gift to you peeps for getting me to 1K.
