[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((hmmm... i'd think they'd go for a field that was really faraway from things. idk))

"Or maybe that wasn't what happened at all. But it seemed like I was upside down." He shrugged.

"I figured."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((alrighty xD))

"And then what?"

"Funny," he said, climbing into the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove out of the alley.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"The next thing I knew I was as you see me today, sense of humor and all."

"That's what they call me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Wait, that's it?"

"I'm sure," he said, pressing on the gas as they hit the highway.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's all I remember."

He nodded and stared out the window as they sped off.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Huh, freaky."

The amount of cars soon thinned out and Tom exited the highway. They kept driving until the landscape only showed a barren desert-like environment.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You could say that."

"Where are we even going?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"And then what? You went arond and ate people?"

"Middle of nowhere."

((gtg))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((aww, byeas!))

He laughed. "It's not as simple as all that."

"Of course, I should have known."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"No?"

"Shame on you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Not at all."

"I know, I know."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Then what happened?"

Tom drove off the road into the plains, and kept driving until you couldn't see civilization in either direction. He pulled the car to a stop and cut the ignition.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He chuckled a little. "They thought it was a game, turning people. I had the option to fall on the knife, as it were, or I could go through "initiation." That is, getting the right to live. It was ridiculous."

"This is it? Are you sure you're not going to kill me instead?" he joked.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Intitiation? I can only imagine what vampire hazing is like," she said and shuddered a little.

"Don't tempt me. I have four very large guns in the back of this car."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

That made him laugh. "Good one."

"I thought you wanted my company," he replied, pretending to be offended.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What was it like?"

"Maybe I said that to convince you to get here," he said with a grin, getting out of the car.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Terrifying."

"Spooky."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Geez."

"You bet. Here, grab a gun while I set up," he said, popping the trunk open.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I know."

James nodded and took the one that looked most familiar.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You're just gonna leave it at that."

"Now I hope you remember how to use a gun," he said, putting up one of the targets.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Do you feel like there's more to the story?"

James laughed. "Afraid I'll hit you?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, yeah."

"Psh, yeah right," he scoffed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He shrugged. "I survived. It's not a pretty story."

"How much you wanna bet I'll take a good shot first try?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Okay, I can accept that."

"You won't," he laughed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Thanks."

Biting his lip at the implied insult, he loaded his weapon and fired three shots in succession, making them whiz right past Tom's head. "You sure?" he asked, looking past his friend and smiling when they all hit the center of the target.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Edward paused momentarily and cocked his head to the side, brow furrowing. "Do you hear that?"


"Shit!" Tom hissed, dropping to the floor. He got up in the next second, whirled around, and glared at James. "What the hell?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Hear what?" Peter asked innocently, shooting him a look that clearly said don't frighten the humans.

"You asked for it, man."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"It's probably nothing," he mumbled, still glancing around.

"I did no such thing!"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Probably," he agreed.

"You definitely did."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

He seemed worried, though no one else could hear the sound except for him.

"Put that thing down before you actually hit me."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Peter sighed. "Time to investigate?"

James laughed and clicked the safety on. "Don't worry. I actually remember how to shoot," he replied, a hard edge to his voice.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I think so. Let them stay here for a moment."

"Well, great, smart ass," Tom huffed, "Now take the shot lying down." He pushed the target even further away.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Got that, ladies?" Peter asked, turning back to them.

He grinned. "Might want to get out of the way first."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"We wait here? We're about a block or two away from my place, so how about we just head there and you two meet us later?" Ray asked.
Edward seemed uncertain. "Fine."

"Stop being so funny," he said flatly, but moved out of the way anyway.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Fine?"
"He said fine, girl, do you want him to change his mind?" Peter asked, shooing them away. "Make it quick, but don't run, whatever you do. Got it?"

James gave him a thumbs-up, got into position, and quickly fired. "Satisfied?" he called.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Hey, let's go," Ray said and started down the street. Edward looked at Mimi for a long moment, before turning around and heading in the direction of the noise, his trench coat fanning out behind him like a cape.

"Keep going," Tom told him, digging in the trunk for more stuff and not really paying attention, "Do some upside down, too."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Mimi nodded and started walking at a decent pace, trying to keep her footsteps silent.

"Okay, what exactly did you hear?"

"Why the hell would I need to do anything upside-down? We're not doing trick shots, man!"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"So, now that we have a chance to talk privately, what do you think?" she asked, unaware of the shadows watching them from the side streets.

((im thinking it should be scarlet and her buddy?))

"I'm not quite sure. I've definitley heard it before, though."

"Oh, lighten up," Tom said, rolling his eyes. He found a baseball in the trunk. "Think fast!" He chucked the ball into the air.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((yesyes))

"What do I think about what?" Mimi replied in half a whisper.

"That's either really good or really bad."

James rolled over in the grass so he had a better angle, and fired two shots before hitting the thing.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Recent events...tonight?"

"I don't feel good about it," he sighed, following where it was leading.

The baseball fell, a smoldering hole in the middle of it.
"Not bad, not bad," Tom nodded, "Alright, you can get up."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Being more specific would really help me answer your question," she murmured, looking at her shoes.

"Oh, great," he murmured as two figures slid out of the shadows.

"Gee, thanks, man," James replied, getting quickly to his feet. "Can't believe you forgot I was a decent shot."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((gtg))

"Like, what do you think Peter has to tell Ed?"

Edward paused and looked around, lips pursed.

"You're always so down on yourself, so sometimes I do forget."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((byeas!))

"About me?"

"Friends of yours?"

"I think you underestimate me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Yeah, I suppose," she said and glanced over her shoulder. She thought she saw something move.

"Not at all."

"You underestimate yourself, my friend."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Probably a lot," she murmured, looking around, too.

"Rephrase: people you know?"

"Hardly."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((yay you're on!))

Ray opened her mouth to say something when a hand clamped over it, stifling a shriek that came out. She was dragged back into the shadows of the side street.

"Unfortunatley. Come on," he huffed and hurried down the alley.

"Right, okay," he said and started talking in a voice that was obviously not James's: "Yeah, I don't know why you want me to come with you. I'm normal and bad at everything blah blah blah."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((wooooo))

Mimi couldn't do much more than gasp so hard she started to cough before she was apprehended, too.

"Coming, coming."

James laughed. "I am bad at everything. Except shooting at a stationary target and the ever-elusive element of surprise."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((how are you?))

"Try to escape and I will bite," Scarlet hissed in Ray's ear. Then she laughed, "Then again, I will bite anyway. It's a shame we couldn't find a good meal, but fortunatley Edward brought you to us."

"No, it can't be," Edward muttered to himself, quickening his pace.

"Great," Tom muttered, rolling his eyes but smiling anyway.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((cold and muscle-crampy for zero reason, but at least school's almost over. you?))

The other vampire laughed at such quality humor. "And we were just waiting for two morsels such as yourselves to walk unsuspecting into the shadows."

"What?"

"I thought you might appreciate that."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((just bored and wanting school to end as well))

"I suppose it's our lucky break," she said, her canines sparkling in the little light that showed through, "Any last words?"
"Scarlet," Edward hissed, running into the scene from the back of the alley. He stopped short and glanced between all of them, his lips pressed tightly together. Scarlet turned to face him, still holding tight to Ray.
"So glad you could join our party, Edward," she purred, smiling widely.

"I'm not sure if I do."
