"You're in for a real treat tonight."
"Is that right?" He shouts over the music.
Blowing him a kiss, I send the ball sailing through the trees, and in to the unknown. I cover my eyes and laugh. I don't think I'm very good at this.
AJ has literal tears going down her face. "We suck, bro."
I nod. "I'll be right back."
The red head walks over with a red solo cup in his hand. "You have to pay the penance first, drink up, baby."
His good mood is contagious. I'm not so far gone that I'm not weary of taking a drink from a stranger, but the cup was in full view of everyone around the table. He wouldn't have had time to put anything in my drink.
"I hate beer," I whine before drinking half of it.
He grunts. "Hi. I'm Drew, and rules are rules. Next time we'll do some wine coolers. Sound good?"
I smile. "Are you trying to get me drunk so that you can have your wicked way with me?
He smirks. "Maybe. What's your name?"
"Presley Kate," I whisper.
A look of concern flashes across his face seconds before he takes the beer out of my hands, and throws it on the ground. In his carelessness he pours most of it down the front of my top. I'm not wearing a bra so my tits are on full display in this fitted white shirt.
"I'm so sorry. Let me get you a new shirt, please." AJ's already walked off with the brunette, so I agree.
I'm not feeling the red head anymore, even in my drunken haze the pieces are coming together. "Why did you do it?"
Leading me into the frat house, he has the decency to look sheepish. "There was a bug in there. Are you going to tell Kai?"
Planting my hands on my hips, I finally lay all my cards on the table. "I think you put something in my drink?"
"I didn't, I would never." He throws up his hands in surrender.
A guy from my English class passes by, and I grab his arm. "Theo, can you get me a new shirt?"
"I'll get you whatever you want lil’ mama." He replies with a wolfish grin on his face.
"Go—od, but stop looking at my tits. M-yyy face is up h—ere." It's getting more impossible to keep my eyes open now.
"K-ai...KA—I!" My vision blurs, but I swear I see him. My Kai. He won’t let anyone hurt me.
His deep voice asks me, “Who hurt you?” Is the last thing I hear before totally blacking out.

Our Next Target
The only thing that gives my outer appearance a semblance of calm is the knowledge that he won't be alive for much longer.
-Kai
Checking my phone,I frown. Presley hasn't messaged me back, which isn't like her. I've texted her five times asking her for another picture. Every text shows that it’s been delivered but not read.
I open up my Snapchat app for the fiftieth time tonight. My reception was being shady earlier, and I couldn’t get shit to pull up. She doesn't know that she shares her location with me, but she does. I added myself to her list the night Sierra Rose died.
After the map finally loads, my heart skips a beat, because according to this she's fucking here!
