"So, who is this important person that you have to meet?" I asked Frederick as he parked the car in front of a big house.

We could hear some loud pop music coming from the house from where we were, along with the shouting of some, surely, drunken teenagers. There was also some in front of the house, talking with a red cup in their hands. This party would surely end with the arrival of cops.

"Someone," Frederick replied, looking at the house through the window.

"You could at least tell me. You force me to come," I reminded Frederick but he continued to gaze at the house. I sighed impatiently, "Frederick, are you listening to me?"

"Shut up, Luffy. Besides if you didn't want to come, you could have said so," Frederick informed me and I glared at him.

"Are you kidding? You didn't even let me time to say one word," I snapped back at him but he only shrugged.

"That's because you are so slow. Even a turtle is faster than you," he said and I made a disapproval noise, which made Frederick smirked at me. He removed his phone from his back pocket and dialed a number.

"Who are you calling?" I asked him.

"Someone," he replied and I groaned.

Why so much secrets? Couldn't I have a life without so many mysteries?

"It's me," Frederick started on the phone, "I'm here in front of the house. Where are you?.....Okay, I will be there in a few minutes....Yeah, yeah, I know. You don't have to worry about it...Alright, I got it."

With that said, Frederick hung up and put his phone back in its place. He glanced at the house before he looked at me.

"Luffy, you are going to stay in the car while I go talk to my friends," Frederick informed me and I looked at him in disbelief.

"What? Are you joking? I'm going with you," I said and he shook his head.

"No, you are staying here. Believe me, you will be more safe in the car than being with me," he said and I gave him a questioning look.

"Are you selling drugs?" I asked Frederick suspiciously.

"What? Of course, not, idiot," he shouted at me.

"I was just making sure. You don't have to insult me, jerk," I snapped back.

"Trust me, in your case, 'idiot' is not an insult, it's a fact," he told me and I opened my mouth to protest but he cut me to it, "Listen, Luffy, I don't have time for this. You will stay in the car and you won't get out. It's for your own safety. I will be back in about one hour or more."

"But Frederick, what am I going to do for so long?" I asked.

"I absolutely have no idea and it's not my problem. I'm sure you will find something to occupy yourself," he replied before he opened the door of the car. He turned to me and added, "Oh, and, Luffy?"

"What?" I asked.

"You are really cute with your glasses, my little cousin," Frederick said before he got out of the door and closed the door, leaving me with a small blush coming to my cheek.

One thing, I forgot to mention about Frederick. He liked to make me feel really uncomfortable by making this type of comment once in a while. Or sometimes, he would talk about really sexual subjects which, most of the time, made me completely red, then Frederick would laugh at my face.

According to him, because we were boys, we should talk more about sexual things but I didn't like that. He knew that I didn't have any experience in this sort of things, which I was sure make him love to talk about it even more.

I looked at the house before looking at the small clock, Frederick had in this car. Minnie Mouse. Really, Frederick, you could have put something better as your clock.He might be two years older than me but sometimes he sure acted like a child.

I sighed miserably when I saw what time it was. Eight p.m. Now what was I going to do? I didn't even get the chance to eat. Maybe Frederick and I could get something to eat along the way back home when he came back.

I leaned my head against the window and then closed my eyes. I guessed, I could get a little rest before he came back.

"L...u...y ....e .r...er..."

What?

"T..ey ..re ...m..ng t.. ..t y..o..u."

I don't understand.

"The..y ar.. com..in..g."

Who?

"Cloud."

I jumped, sitting my head at the ceiling of the car. I groaned in pain while I put my head into my hands. What a beautiful way to wake up!

After some minutes, I looked at my surroundings to see that I was still in Frederick's car in front of the party house. Loud music was still coming from the house and some horny teenagers were walking in the front yard completely drunk.

I was completely alone in the car but I swear that I just heard a voice, an unfamiliar voice at least. I didn't know who it was. Again, I looked outside the car, without actually getting out of it, to see if I saw anyone but no. There was nobody near the car.

Maybe I was being paranoiac.

I looked at the time and my eyes widened in shock when I saw that it was 10 p.m. Where the hell was Frederick? I didn't have my phone with me so I couldn't call him. Damn it! And I was completely hungry.

While grumbling, I got out of car and started to walk in the direction of the house. No need to worry about the slippers, I needed to find Frederick so that we could go home.

After I succeeded to avoid the drunken teenagers on my way to the house, I finally arrived at the front door. I felt someone touch my arm at this exact moment but when I looked back, there was nobody.

Okay. I was really becoming paranoiac.

I shook my head before I passed the front door. If I thought that the music was loud when I was outside the house, now I could affirm that I was going to become deaf.

I looked around to search for Frederick but the only people I saw, was boys and girls dancing wildly in the living room. Others were drinking while some were making out on the couch.

I made a face of disgust at them then I made my way further into the house. Suddenly, I stopped walking when I felt a small hand, pulling on mine. I looked down and was surprise to see a little girl staring at me.

"Are you alright? What are you doing here?" I asked the small child, worriedly. Who in their right mind make a party with a little girl at home?

"You have beautiful eyes," the little girl replied in a small voice.

"What?" I asked. Did I hear her right?

"Your eyes are beautiful. I like to have them. Will you give them to me?" she asked, her hands gripping mine harder. A small smile appeared on her face but for some reasons, it made me feel a little bit cold.

"I...I don't know. Your eyes are beautiful the way they are," I stuttered. I tried to make the girl let go of my hands but she buried her nails in them. "What are you doing?"

"Everyone knows that you are lying, Luffy. Look at me in the eyes and tell me if you like them," the little girl said.

An evil smirk appeared on her face and I felt the fear grew up into me. I looked into her eyes which suddenly turned completely black, along with the white part. She took my wrist in her hands, burying her nails in my skin harder than before. I felt like my wrist was on fire and when I opened my mouth to shout, someone bumped into me and I fell on the floor. My glasses nearly fell down during the fall but fortunately they didn't.

"Dude, I'm sorry," said a familiar voice and I looked up to see Ken standing in front of me.

"Ken," I said as I stood up. I looked around worriedly but the little girl was nowhere in sight.

"Luffy, man, you came, finally," Ken exclaimed.

"Yeah, I came with my cousin," I said but I wasn't looking at Ken, I was looking around.

"Luffy, who are you searching for?" Ken asked me with a raised eyebrow.

"Have you seen a little girl around here?" I asked Ken hesitantly and he looked at me like if I was crazy.

"Are you crazy? Who in their right mind, would make a party with a little girl at home?" He asked me and I sighed.

"That's exactly what I thought," I murmured and I looked back at Ken who just took a sip of his drink, "Ken, do you know where the toilet is?"

"Yeah, it's upstairs," he replied, "Listen, I'm going to go back to the others. When you are over, come join us, we are in the backyard."

"Alright," I replied and I quickly walked away.

Oh god, what just happened?

I never fell so scared in my entire life.

Who was this girl? I couldn't have imagine her, could I?

I went up the stairs and saw a very long corridor with many doors. Damn it! I should have asked Ken where exactly was the toilet. I guessed I should find it by myself.

I started to walk randomly. I arrived at the end of the corridor then I took the right. It was really a big house. Finally, I stopped in front of a door and I pressed my ear against it. I didn't want to interrupt anyone when they were surely having sex in these bedrooms.

Fortunately I needed hear any unwanted noises but just some voices. I knocked on the door but nobody replied so I did it again and this time I heard someone telling me to come in.

"Excuse me, can you--" I started but I stopped mid-sentence when I saw Frederick sitting on the floor in the middle of the room.

He wasn't alone. Beside him was another boy sitting and there was two more boys sitting on the bed. And finally, there was a boy leaning against the wall near the window.

"Luffy, what are you doing here? I told you to stay in the car," Frederick said, standing up but I wasn't paying attention to him. My eyes were locked on the boy leaning against the wall.

"Cloud," I said, not believing my eyes.

"Luffy," he said back.

"Oh, little Luffy, you are here," the boy sitting on the floor exclaimed and it was then that I noticed that it was in fact Rain.

"Rain, you're here too," I said in complete shock.

"You know them?" Frederick asked me. He looked as shock as I was.

"We are in the same high school, Fred," Rain replied for me and he nodded.

"Anyway, I told you to stay in the car, Luffy. Can't you listen when I tell you something?" Frederick scolded me.

"I wait for you, idiot, for two hours," I informed him and he rolled his eyes.

"Go back in the car, Luffy," Frederick ordered me.

"But I'm hungry, Frederick. I didn't get the chance to eat," I said and I heard some laughs coming from the two boys on the bed. I looked at them and was surprised to see that there was actually twins sitting on the bed.

"Are you wearing slippers?" one of them asked me and I blushed in shame.

"Yes," I replied shyly and Rain exploded with laughter along with the twins. I gave Frederick an angry look, "It's your fault, asshole."

"Such a big word for a so little mouth," Cloud teased me and I blushed even harder. I entered the room, closing the door behind me.

"Wait, what are you doing? Go back in the car. I'm going to make someone go get food for you," Frederick said coming towards me.

I opened my mouth to protest but instead I yelled in pain when Frederick took my wrist. It was the same hand that the little girl previously gripped and like before I felt like my wrist was on fire.

Frederick immediately let go of my wrist and stepped back when he heard me scream. He gave me a worried look. Rain and the twins stopped laughing and looked at me.

"Are you alright?" Cloud asked me as I took my burning wrist into my other hand.

"It burns," I succeeded to let out.

"Burn?" Frederick repeated and I nodded. He came to me and looked at my wrist, without touching it. An unreadable look came on his face as they fell on my wrist.

"Cloud, come take a look at his wrist," Frederick said and he got out of the way so that Cloud could stand in front of me.The latter took my hand, taking care not to touch my wrist. He examined it when his eyes suddenly darkened.

"The damn little bitch, I will fuckin kill her," Cloud shouted.

"What is it, Cloud?" Rain asked his brother.

Cloud let go of my hand and turned to look at Rain before replying.

"It's Amelia."
