Purple Moon (HM15)

Purple Moon

Half Moon 15

    Cade told Kat that Patty agreed to throw the party at her house. So Kat is not surprised when Patty starts acting like she is hiding something. Patty would come over a lot and help Kat while asking questions. Kat answered them without complaint.

    "No, I don't have a favorite food."

    "I never thought about a favorite color, but if I had to pick one, I suppose it would be purple."

    In a couple days the preparations were ready, and the Alteration still hadn't attacked. Kat wore a purple gown that Cade said Patty wanted her to wear, and the jewelry that went with it. Cade was dressed in a suit with purple accents to match her dress.

    "I hate this," He sighs, sticking a knife up his sleeve, "The collar itches."

    "I'm just as unhappy as you are, but this is the quickest way." Kat replies, "Be grateful you don't have to wear this."

    Cade chuckles, "But you look absolutely stunning."

    Kat glares at him while fixing a short blade to her thigh "If you say one more word..."

    He raises his hands in surrender, "Understood."

    Kat sharpens her glare before finishing the adjustments, "Sometimes I wonder if you're being honest or mocking me."

    He smiles, "I would never mock you."

    Kat snorts and drops her dress, "and you always do your work too."

    He does an exaggerated bow before offering his arm, "Ready?"
    She rolls her eyes but takes his arm. Cade leads her out of the house and down the street to a light blue one.
    "Is this Patty's house?" she asks.
    Cade nods, "What do you think?"
    "It fits her," Kat says, and they walk up to the door.
    Cade knocks, and they can hear the sounds of laughter coming from inside. Patty opens the door and smiles, "Great you came, we really couldn't start without you."
    "Oh, why?" Kat asks.
    "Because you're the guest of honor of course. Cade told me that the doctor called and said that your lasts tests turned out well. So we threw you a party."
    Kat put on a surprised face, "Really?"
    Patty nods, "Now come on, you have people to meet."
    Patty pulls her inside, and Cade follows. People moved freely from room to room carrying drinks. Kat nods to Cade, and he gets lost in the crowd. Patty takes Kat into the kitchen where they find her friends.
    Aadi smiles and hugs her, "It's so exciting to see you our of your own home."
    "I'm excited to be out," Kat replies.
    The other girls introduce her to other people. Every once in a while, she sees Cade, but he never looks at her. All of the people she meets are polite and smiling, but she can sense nervousness and tension running under the surface. After a while, she grows tired of seeing the same look. "Patty is there somewhere a little quieter."
    "Of course," Patty says and leads her upstairs to a bathroom. "It has a mirror so feel free to freshen up and come back down when you're ready." She turns to go, then stops, "Should I tell Claude?"
    "No, Its nothing serious," Kat replies.
    Patty nods them leaves. Kat sinks on to the chair in front of the mirror and sighs. She pulls a couple pills out of a hidden pocket and swallows them. Her purple eyes gaze back from the mirror, showing no pity. The sound of the door opening pulls her attention from her reflection. Turning she expects to see Cade or Patty but as the locking mechanism clicks she sees it is...

I figure writing at the bottom would be better than at the top this time. I'm trying out a new cliffhanger ending it see if it works, but since you dear readers never comment I guess I will have to go by how many page views there are.

If you do happen to comment don't ask who she sees because I wont tell you. Thanks for reading.
