Chapter 14

Song is Emperor's New Clothes by Panic! At The Disco (Love them) Also, read AT LEAST the top part of my LONG A/N. You can read the other stuff, but it's kinda long. Sorta interesting, but long.

Wow, the name 'Fallcrest Mall' certainly fits the mall itself. The front has a grand fountain spewing colored water, making a 'W' in the water, and I love it. The inside, is another story. In the middle, a grand waterfall stands, with divers made of metal sticking out.

"Woah, I had no idea Wimberley had such an awesome mall!" I gasp, walking through it with Violet and Quinn.

Quinn has me tucked into his side, an arm wrapped tightly around my waist. I honestly don't understand why the moment I know why he was so touchy, he becomes even more touchy and needy. Maybe it's Hunter. I don't know, but I honestly don't mind it; it's nice and makes me feel safe from Ryan and all the other dangers of the world.

Something cold slithers down my back at the thought of Ryan. I shiver, snuggling closer into Quinn's warm body. My eyes flick around the mall, and I catch it: the flash of a pair of dark grey eyes.

I squeak, meeting Ryan's gaze. He sits across the mall, on a bench, his arms resting on the back of the bench. He smirks, staring at me with his ice-cold gaze. It makes goosebumps rise on my skin.

Quinn tightens his hold on me, looking around now, alert.

"What is it, Sera? What's wrong?" He asks, obviously trying to control Hunter.

"H-him. R-Ryan. He's h-h-here!" I squeak, pointing to where Ryan is.

But when I look again, he's gone. Quinn growls quietly, but a few people still cower when they walk by us and hear him.

"Baby, I need you to tell me exactly where he was and what he was doing," Quinn growls.

I look up at him and notice his eyes are gold. Hunter's back.

"Um, he was s-sitting on the b-bench and he was staring right at m-me. He was smirking and just leaning casually against the back of the bench while he s-sat," I stutter.

Hunter pulls me to him even closer, leaning down and kissing my head of curls.

"Don't worry, Angel, I'll protect you," Quinn whispers.

I can tell it's him again, because Hunter's voice is a little deeper and rougher. Also, Hunter calls me 'Baby', while Quinn calls me 'Angel'.

"We'll protect you. Just because I'm not one of you, does not mean I won't fight for my friend," Violet pipes up, linking our arms together on the other side of me.

I smile. When did I get such amazing people in my life? What was it? A month and a half or so? Almost 2 months ago, I would've never thought I would be so happy again. Especially with all these people around me, touching me. It used to frighten me, but now it makes me feel safe.

"Ooh! Let's go in there, Sera! We need some dresses!" Violet squeals, pulling me towards a store.

A fancy one too, by the looks of it. I glance at the price tag on one of the dresses, and almost have a heart attack.

"Three hundred dollars?! What is this madness?!" I exclaim, clutching my heart.

"Sera, that's nothing. You should see how much some dresses Violet bought are. Let's just say, Tyler owes me one thousand dollars... for two dresses," Quinn chuckles.

"Wha-what??? I think I'm gonna' faint," I laugh hysterically, my vision tipping sideways, but before I hit the ground, an arm stops me by wrapping around my waist.

"Sera?! Angel, it's fine. I have plenty of money to waste on you! No need to faint on me again."

"Oh, okay," I mumble, struggling to stand back up.

Quinn chuckles, before a hand violently yanks me into the section of evening gowns.

"Look at this pretty blue one! I think it would look great on you!" Violet squeals, gesturing to a blue dress in one of the racks.

She takes the hangar off the rack and shoves it to me.

"Go try it on!" She giggles.

I find a dressing room and try the dress on. Violet's right, it does looks great on me. And the fabric is so soft, I can barely feel it.

"Sera! Show us!" Violet shouts from outside.

I breathe in and out, and step out for them to see. My hands find each other and clasp in front of me, my cheeks now a bright red. No one says anything, and it's unnerving.

"Sera, you look amazing," Quinn breathes from right in front of me.

I see his shoes, as I look down, and he gently lifts up my head. I blush more.

"T-thanks," I mumble.

"Seeeerrrraaa! Buy it, buy, it, buy it, or I will have to force you to!" Violet practically screams.

"Okay, okay! I'll buy!" I say, grinning.

I change back into my clothes, carrying the dress out. Quinn take the dress from me and also holds a lavender dress that has a somewhat similar style to mine.

He walks to the clerk, pays, and follows us out.

"Come on, let's go eat somewhere! How about some Chinese?!" Violet giggles.

"But, last time we had Chinese, Vi," Quinn points out.

She frowns, crossing her arms like a child.

"Um, how about some Tex-Mex? I've never had it before and Jace says it's good," I mumble.

Violet grins again, nodding.

"I could go for some Tex-Mex," Quinn muses.

"Okay, Tex-Mex it is! Can we go eat out of the mall, though? I know a good place!" Violet pipes up.

"Sure, I'm still nervous about Ryan being around," I murmur, looking around.

"Don't worry, Angel, he won't get near you ever again," Quinn promises.

I nod, as he takes my hand, the bag with the dresses in his other hand. Right at this moment, it looks we could be a couple: Quinn and I. My heart beats faster at the thought, resulting in blood rushing to my cheeks.

Quinn glances down at me, notices my blush, and looks away, smirking. I think he kind of guessed my thoughts.

"Come on, let's go," Quinn says, pulling me and Violet with him to the parking lot.

Violet squeals suddenly when we near Quinn's car, letting go of me and sprinting off to a familiar figure. They embrace, the person she ran to kissing her passionately. They break apart, Violet now pulling Tyler towards Quinn and I.

"Hey, Sera, Quinn. Where you guys headed?" He asks.

"Tex-Mex restaurant for Sera. She's never been," Quinn explains.

Tyler nods, grinning.

"Cool. I thought I'd catch up with you guys."

Violet leaves him Tyler to drive with him to the place, leaving me to sit up front with Quinn in his car.

The silence isn't awkward, actually; it's nice. Quinn concentrates hard on the road ahead, sometimes glancing at me and smiling. No music plays, but I feel like I need some noise to help me cope with the surprisingly long ride.

"Hey, Quinn?" I ask quietly.

"Yeah, Angel?"

"Can I plug in my phone and play some music? I need some noise to keep me occupied."

"Of course."

"Thanks."

I pull out my phone, pulling up one of my random playlists. Ooh, Panic! At The Disco and Twenty One Pilots songs. The car fills up with the sound of "Emperor's New Clothes", and I start to hum along happily.

Quinn suddenly joins in, singing the lyrics. I've never heard his voice before, but goodness, he sounds like an angel. It just makes me like him even more. Wait, I admitted I do like Quinn, right? Oh gosh, what do I do now?

I start blush, just listening to him sing. Although, it does sadly remind me of when Ryan and I used to sing together. He also has a magnificent voice.

"You like Panic?" I ask him once the song ends.

He glances at me, smiling.

"Yeah, I do. I'm glad you listen too, though. Now we can sing all the time," he says, his smile stretching.

"Oh, I-I'm not that good at singing. At least, compared to you," I say, blushing again.

He chuckles, and 'Ride' comes on. I squeal, singing and rapping along with the song. This is the song that got me on my path to Panic and Twenty One Pilots, along with my other music interests. Quinn chuckles, humming along with certain parts.

For the rest of the ride, we sing and rap along with the songs that come on. By the end of the 15th song, we drive into a parking lot. The restaurant is huge. I'm not even joking. The parking is almost completely packed, even though it's midday. Now I understand why they wanted to bring me here, and not to some mall restaurant.

"Whoa, this place is huge!" I gasp, unbuckling my seat belt.

Quinn chuckles, turning off the car. He gets out and comes over to my side, pulling me out his car as soon as I open the door. Violet and Tyler arrive in Tyler's car a minute later, parking next to us.

"Come on, let's go. I did not drive to the middle of Austin and Wimberley to just stand around," Tyler says, grabbing Violet's hand and walking inside.

Once Quinn and I enter, an audible gasp from the hostess is heard. She rushes to Quinn, bowing slightly.

"Oh! Mr. Harris, we weren't expecting you here! Do you need the V.I.P seating?" She frantically asks.

"No, thank you, Miss, we would just like a secluded booth for four, please," he chuckles.

She nods, grabbing menus, and leading us to a booth in the back. Those who knew of creatures in our world, turned to look at us, especially Quinn. Some whispered about Violet and I, while others whispered about Quinn.

The hostess seats us at a secluded and quiet booth, setting the menus down.

"The waiter will be over soon," she mumbles, before scurrying off back to her place.

I look at the menu, amazed at all the food choices.

"Um, what should I get?" I ask them, looking up.

"Quesadilla! That's good," Violet suggests.

I look at it, deciding to try it.

"Okay, I'll get that then."

"That was great, guys. Thanks for taking me out," I thank everyone as we leave the restaurant.

"Of course, Angel. I'm glad you enjoyed it," Quinn mumbles, pulling me to his side.

"Oh my gosh, Quinn! The dinner is starting in two hours!" Tyler exclaims, looking down a his phone in horror.

Quinn's eyes widen, and he rushes us to the car.

"Okay, as soon as we get there, Sera, dress quickly and head downstairs as soon as possible, okay?" Quinn tells me in the car.

I nod, slightly confused as to why they were so worried.

"What's the huge rush?" I ask.

"Well, for one thing, my parents don't like it when I'm late, and also, all our high-ranking wolves and their families are there to meet you."

"Oh."

He speeds down the roads, his hands tight on the steering wheel. Meanwhile, my heart is racing faster and faster with stress. What if his family and the other wolves don't like me? What if I am like, too shy or quiet or something for them?

Quinn stops the car hard, looking over to me.

"Okay, we're here a bit sooner than I thought, which gives you more time to get ready, okay?"

I nod, stepping out of the car. He turns it off and rushes with me to my floor, dropping me off, then running upstairs to get ready himself. Before I close my door, Violet and Tyler rush by as well. Quinn left me my bag with the clothes, so I rush with it to the bathroom.

After struggling to make my hair look somewhat nice, I look in the mirror at my work. Even if it's not perfect, I don't have time. Quinn sits on my bed outside in my room; I heard him come in a few minutes ago. He had peeked in to see me struggling to put a comb through my thick curls.

I put on some sandals and step out of the bathroom. Quinn looks up at me from his phone and grins widely. He's wearing a nice outfit that makes me blush. He looks really handsome.

He stands up and walks over to me, pulling me to his chest and kissing the top of my head.

"You look gorgeous, my Angel," he murmurs.

As if I could get any redder, the fact that he calls me his makes me blush even more.

"Come, my little tomato, let's go downstairs at meet the pack," he murmurs in my ear, kissing my cheek.

Wait... did he just say pack?!  

Ah, I remember writing this chapter for some strange reason. It's not even a major chapter! Whatever. Oh, so, to make things more fun and to coax out some more comments (because they make me so happy), I'm gonna start putting questions at the end of each chapter. Many people already do this, so yeah. Then, I might randomly put something about my self? Sound cool? Yeah? No? I don't know...

QUESTION: What's your favorite TV show?

My answer: Hmm, well, right now, Yuri!!! On ICE. I LOVE the show. So freaking cute and amazing. I highly recommend it! I also love Steven Universe, Once Upon A Time, and Star Vs The Forces Of Evil. 

Speaking of Yuri!!! On ICE, any fans out there? I honestly am about to die from my FEW DAY wait after finishing the series twice for the second season. I literally started watching the show last week, finished it in two days, then re-watched it immediately after that for another two days. I have a problem. WHO CARES. VICTUURI FOR LIFE.

This was so freaking long, lol.

Comment, vote, and share plz!
