First Encounter

Downtown Santa Monica is one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Santa Monica, largely because it's home to the Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica Place, two of the largest shopping areas in Santa Monica. The weekend finds the Third Street Promenade bustling with foot traffic of both locals and travelers. However, while Downtown Santa Monica is home to the highest concentration of shops, restaurants, and hotels in town, it also gives off a local vibe with its twice-weekly farmers market and lively street performers.

Ashanti and his friends were being driven downtown to Third Street Promenade mall ,they had to get some supplies for the upcoming party they had planned ,as they were driving downtown the car came to a sudden stop causing Grey and Adolfo to crash on the sits ahead of them .

"Ouufffff...what the-,"Grey said while rubbing his shoulder ,Adolfo just fixed his eye glasses but the irritation was visible on his face. "Driver what's up?" said Jeremiah as he looked ahead on the front window screen ,he saw a figure facing the car ,it was shivering when he looked even closer it was a girl ,but her eyes had a weird colour ."Man did we hit some witch?" he said almost stuttering "Huh??" everyone said at once.

The driver got out of the car and so did everyone ,the girl turned and looked at the people in front of her ..she looked terrified and her eyes were back to normal."Ma'am are you okay?" the driver asked, but the girl did not dare utter a word , "Lady??Hello??"asked Grey waving his hand in front of her face.

"Aife!!Oh My God ,what are you doing here?" asked Liam gripping Aife's arm and turning her to face him , "Are you hurt ..why are you shivering?" he asked looking at the people in front of him "Ashanti?Grey?" he asked amused at why his dearest friend was shivering in fear and his school mates aka rivalries were next to her ,"Oh wow hello to you too,"Jeremiah said rolling his eyes and focusing back to the girl whose name he found out was ,Aife . "I ...I.. I ..am fine ...Li..Liam let us go,I am sorry," she said pulling Liam to walk away with her but a hand quickly grabbed her hand ,she quickly turned to look at the person but as soon as their eyes met she fell to the floor ,unconscious.

"Aife!"Liam said squatting and picking her up , "Is she okay?" asked Jeremiah getting closer to her but Ashanti had already gotten to her and was helping Liam hold her ,"Let us take her to my house ..it is closer and she needs help," Ashanti offered .Liam did not think twice and put her in the car ,he was shivering ..he was worried that his decision could have cost his friend's health .All the boys got into the car and the driver made a U-turn towards Ashanti's house.
