Stalker! Stalker! Carter's party

Katherine parked her convertible in front of her aunt's private villa. It was already dark when she got home. She came from school four years ago only to find her dad's mansion burnt to the ground. Neither of her parents survived. Since then she lived with her aunt, Selena Clover.

She got out walked towards the front door. As she walking, she felt as if someone was watching her. She turns to look around but sees no one since it's dark so she continues walking. As she was about to open the door she heard rushed footsteps coming from behind her. She gasped and quickly turned around only to find that there was nobody around. She shrugged it off and entered the villa.

"I'm home aunt Selena", she said.

Her aunt, Selena came out of the kitchen.

She had dirty blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She looked like an older and taller version of her niece, Katherine. She was 5"7 tall.

"You're late! Hurry up and change. I'm already done with dinner", Selena said.

"I was just at a friend's house", she replied and went straight to her fairly large bedroom to change before dinner.

She opened her bedroom door and the first thing she noticed was that the window next to her bed was opened. She closes every time she leaves the house. She just went over and closed it again thinking that Selena was the one who opened it. She didn't notice the dark figure starring at her from behind some a tree.

Friday morning before classes started, different friend groups and cliques were hanging out. Bryce, Kevin, Daniel, Emily, Cashel and Kyra were hanging out on the bleachers. Katherine wasn't there. She was probably busy somewhere doing captain stuff. Other students were also hanging out there.

Carter came running over to them with Mitch in tow and said, "Hey guys, so my parents went out for the weekend so I'll be throwing a party at my house and all seniors are invited. Party starts at 9:00pm".

He immediately run off to the next group of friends.

"Well he's in a hurry", Kyra said.

Just then the bell rang and it was time for class to being. As they were walking to their classes, Emily came up to Bryce asked, "Will you be going to the party?".

"Probably, I'll have to ask Charles first. Why?", Bryce asked.

Emily said, "No reason, I just wanted to know".

They walked together to biology class. Mr Michaels who was both the biology teacher and also Kyra's and Cashel's dad came in.

Hartley Michaels, a 48 year old man with a slightly muscular body. He had brown hair and brown eyes just like his kids. He was 5"11 foot tall.

"Okay! Partner up everybody", asked the students to partner up.

Bryce partnered up with Cashel, Kevin with Carter, Daniel with Mitch, Emily with Kyra, Zane partnered up with Katherine.

A few minutes later, the class was silent and only Mr Hartley's voice could be heard. Zane started to flirt with Katherine but she tried her best to ignore him and focus on the work given to them.

"Are you coming to Carter's party?", Zane asked.

"Zane, you've been trying to asked me out since we met for the first time freshmen year, stop it. I am not interested in you", Katherine said angrily.

Zane started blabbering about how cool he is but Katherine continued to ignore him.

"If only Zane paid attention in class, maybe he would have gotten much better grade in class", Mr Michaels said making Zane shut up and pay attention.

"Finally", Katherine whispered to herself.

Zane wrote on a piece of paper, crumbled it and then threw it at Kevin. Kevin picked it up, opened it and read it,

"I'm gonna end you if I see you at the party".

Kevin snorted and threw the paper away. He was pretty confident that he would be able to beat up Zane.

School was over and they all went to their homes. The boys went inside and saw Charles holding some old looking books going to the basement.

Bryce went to Charles, and asked, "What are those books for?".

"They're grimoires. I'm preparing the basement to teach you guys magic. I'll give these when you guys master your first spell", Charles replied.

"Finally! We've been here for a while and you're finally going to teach us some spells..", Bryce said.

"Do you have anything else to say apart from whatever you're saying?", Charles caught Bryce off. Whatever Bryce was trying to say wasn't really important to him.

Charles dropped the grimoires that he was holding but instead of falling to the floor, they started floating in the air. He had casted a spell without even needing to open his mouth. Bryce was surprised to see Charles execute something only really really strong witches could do.

"Talk", Charles said, snapping Bryce out of his surprised state.

"So there's gonna be a party tonight and all seniors are invited. I was wondering if we could go", Bryce asked.

"Sure you can go, everyone deserves to have fun sometimes", Charles said.

"Really?", Bryce said. He was really excited. He had never been to a party before. This was going to be his first.

"Yes, as long as you don't get drunk", Charles said.

Bryce looked strangely at Charles. He was probably thinking 'why would I drink'.

"I'm just kidding. Get drunk. Make out with some girls, or boys if that's what you're into. I don't really care. Just don't die", Charles said, just showing how he was an 'irresponsible responsible adult' he was.

Bryce looked at Charles more strangely and said, "I'm gonna go to my room".

He immediately ran to his room.

Later, Katherine was in her room preparing to head to Carter's party. She dressed up and did her makeup and was ready to leave. She went downstairs and saw her aunt, Selena going through some paper.

"I'm heading over to Carter's party", she said.

"Okay sweetheart! Don't stay there for too long, okay", Selena said.

"Kk", Katherine said as she walked out the door.

As she was walking towards her car, she once again felt like someone was watching her. She tried to ignore it but then she heard rushed footsteps coming from behind her. She got scared and quickly ran to her car. She got in and lock the door immediately after. She looked back to see if the person was still but there was nothing there. She sighed and shrugged it off as she thought was just hallucinating it.

She drove off and soon stopped by another villa. It was Carter's house. She got out and noticed a minivan park stop nearby. It was just Charles dropping the boys off. She went over and joined them.

"Hello, Mister Clinton", she waved at Charles.

"Oh hey, Blondie", Charles waved back and soon drove back to the mansion.

"So this is Carter's house", Bryce asked as he said the thumping music coming from the house.

Katherine said, "Yeah! Now let's go inside".

She rang the doorbell and Carter soon came out to invite them in.

"Welcome to mi casa", he said.

There were quite a few students already in. The boys couldn't help but look around as Carter lead them further to the back where the pool was. There were a lot of student gathered there. Some in the pool and some dancing and having fun. Cashel, Kyra and Emily who were at the drinks table waved at the new partygoers when they saw them walk in. Katherine, Kevin and Daniel immediately walked over to join the twins at the drinks table as Emily walked over to Bryce. Bryce was quite nervous since it was his first time at a party.

"You made it", Emily said. She had to shout since the music was quite loud.

"Not gonna miss my first high school party", Bryce said.

Emily laughed. She then noticed Bryce nervously looking around.

"Hey, you nervous?", she asked.

"Would be a lie if I said I wasn't", Bryce replied.

Emily held Bryce's hand and pulled him into the crowd of dancing teenagers and started dancing.

"This should ease you up a bit", Emily said while dancing.

"I don't know how to dance", Bryce said. Emily wasn't surprised since he already told her it was his first time at a party.

"Don't worry, just listen to the beat and move your body. Or you could just jump around like this". She started jumping and moving her head left and right to the beat.

Bryce did as Emily told him to. He started jumping sophisticatedly but soon started to get it. Turns out he's a natural at jumping.

"Not bad", Emily said as she started dancing. Bryce started dancing less sophisticatedly by the second and eventually got a hang of it. Emily looked so joyous when was dancing that Bryce couldn't stop looking at her and feel more at ease.

At the drinks table, Katherine, Kevin, Daniel and the twins were enjoy themselves, sipping their drinks and eating some snacks. Katherine who at first was having fun suddenly felt a chill at the back of her head. She once again felt someone's gaze on her. She looked around to see if she could find whoever was watching her but it wasn't like she was gonna find the person when there were so many teenager dancing around.

Beaconsdale was a town that was half surrounded by woods and thick forests. And Carter's house was one of the many houses along the tree lines.

If one had a set of super sharp eyes and they looked really closely at a certain part of the tree lines, they should be able to see the figure of a man standing there in the dark.

A boy came over to the drinks table and took a cup. He took a sip of the drink and turned around to face the tree line. He threw an intense glare filled with rage and hatred in the direction of the lurking figure. The figure glared back at the boy before instantly disappearing. No, he didn't disappear but rather moved at a speed the normal eye could not keep up with. Seeing the figure gone, the boy calmed down and took another sip from the cup.

"Jason?", Kyra said when she saw the boy.
