Ava arrived early evening before the festival could start, with her she came a white big sized box that along with it was a smile heading inside her cottage.

She found Kara in the bedroom gazing at herself through the mirror.

"Are you still angry?" Questioned she standing at the len of the bedroom door.

"Was I mad in the first place?" Answered Kara. Ava walked towards her caressing Kara's shoulders with both her hands.

"I got you something." Said Ava smiling gazing through the mirror with her eyes straight to the box.

"Why?" Snapped Kara.

"What? What did I do?"

"Why are you like this Ava? Turned Kara with her weary eyes. "Are you going to makes it so heard for me to stay away. Why are you acting like we are something."

"Please let's not talk about that. Just take a look at what I got you. You can put it on tonight."

"No! We need to stop. Can we just stop. Even with the pretence. It can't be still happening."

"You know what's the problem Kara? You over think things. Just do me one favor. Get into that dress I just got you and go enjoy the party tonight. I will make sure to stay away from you. I promise."

"Alright. Let me see what you got there?" Answered Kara walking out to where the box was staged. "Why did you buy it?"

"I saw it in this lady's store and I thought it would look good on you. It's Halloween."

"Miss stephanie?" Chuckled Kara. "I bet she really likes you now huh. Thank you though."

"Thank me after you take a look at it."

Kara got through the white polythene and on the inside was a black conny dress and a pair of artificial teeth.

"What are these?" She chuckled with the teeth in her hands.

"You know how sexy vampires look in movies? I just think you will look very sexy looking like one tonight. And I also got you that black eye shadow and red lipstick. A pair of black long boots too."

"Oh God." Muttered Kara.

"What's the problem now?"

"For a minute there, you sounded like my mom."

"Ha-ha-ha. I'm sorry." Said Ava seating next to Kara. "I can't be your mom sweetheart. Want I want to do to you would be shameless if I was to be your mom." She chuckled.

"Okay. I know. You know she used to always surprise me with one gift and then say the others like a speech."

"Right. I get. Don't be sad. Just get into the outfit and let me see how you look in it."

"Stay here I go get into it then."

Kara carried the box with her into the bedroom closing the door behind as Ava stayed seated on the couch waiting with a smile on her face.

In a few minutes came a knocking that Ava went to open for sighting Martha standing.

"Hello you once again." Said Martha kissing Ava on the chick. "May I come in?"

They walked inside with Ava closing the door behind.

"How does it look?" Asked Kara heading out of the bedroom with the dress on but startled by Martha's presence.

"You look very impressive." Complimented Martha.

"Yeah. Actually, this dress is for you Martha, Ava wanted to see  it would fit me then it would you too."

"Really Ava? Was that my real surprise?" Asked Martha rejoiced.

Sighing in anger, Ava responded. "Yes. It's for you dear."

"Let me get into it then Kara. Take it off." She demanded cheerfully.

Kara then headed back on the inside and took off the dress handing it over to Martha who went inside the bedroom to fit in it leaving them alone in the seating room.

"Why did you do that?" Whispered Ava angrily.

"It was the right thing to do Ava. I really don't want to hurt Martha."

"But that dress wasn't supposed to be Martha's. It was yours, I bought it and wanted you to wear it. I don't even want to see Martha get in it."

It was as they were still talking when Martha came out put with a smile.

"How does it look on me?" Muttered Martha.

"Fine." Snapped Ava.

"It really looks good on you Martha. Like those sexy vampires." Answered Kara pinching Ava in the back then forwarding to Martha making her dress collar right. You know what's missing?"

"What?" Inquired Martha.

"The make up. Ava brought along the make up. The pale skin and red lipstick. " explained Kara having Ava angry as she made a sentence in the one Kara was making.

"And the black boots and eye shadow. I did buy everything. Has she seen the teeth yet. You can show her that as well." Mocked Ava taking a seat at the couch.

"Are you okay Ava?" Asked Martha seating next to her.

"She is. Of course." Answered Kara.

"Yeah. I'm fine Martha. I just need to rest."

"You ain't coming with me to the festival? You promised."

"I have a headache. I need a rest. Maybe I will catch up with you guys later. You have to go though."

"And you Kara? Ain't you going to the festival?"

"I can't leave her here alone you know." Answered she when Ava cut her off.

"You have to go Kara. I need to be left alone. For an hour or two." Said Ava back at Kara as she walked inside the bedroom closing the door.

"What's wrong with her?" Gazed Martha.

"She will be fine. I will stay with her here and make sure she gets better. I will convince her to get to the festival."

"Please let me know what's going on with her. I can't be kept in the dark. I really like her. So much." Quoted Martha.

"It's okay. I will let you know if anything is for worries. You should go with the car. Let me get you the keys?"

"Don't worry, luckily I came with mine. Thank you." Martha then walked out starting her car off.
