hand out of the fist I couldn’t help but to make. The tension was getting the best of me.
“Where has my party girl gone?”
I shrugged. “I think she is hiding.”
She smiled as she slipped her fingers in between mine and led the way into a dark tunnel that was lit up from the torches on the walls. We emerged on the other side in a boxed in space where yet another black door stood.
As Ellis knocked on the door, a petite woman wearing a leather bustier top, a short, flowing skirt, and knee length heeled boots opened the door. She beamed at Ellis as she placed her short, light purple hair behind her ear.
“Ellis, I haven’t seen you in a couple of days.” She averted her gaze to Andie then continued. “I see you’ve been on the prowl.”
“Yeah, I have been hanging out with Andie.”
He turned to us. “I am a regular here.”
The woman held out a pair of golden necklaces that had a Victorian style crest pendant with a ruby, red diamond in the center.
“Here, put these on and don’t take them off.”
Andie and I shared a look as we slipped the necklaces around our necks.
“Why? What is it for?” I asked.
“Oh, all of the guests who aren’t members wear them. It’s to make sure you aren’t escorted out is all.” She smiled as she waved it off, as if it was no big thing. She then looked at Ellis and nodded. “Enjoy.”
I could have sworn I saw something pass between their eyes. Andie saw it as well as she gave me a look.
The woman held the door open as we walked inside. She didn’t even card us. What kind of club is this?
“Okay, that was weird,” Andie said.
“This whole situation is weird,” I said.
Ellis chuckled. “Ladies, relax.”
We walked down a long hall where Disco LED light magic balls hung from the ceiling as its rainbow colored lights swirled all around us. Blue, green, and purple flashing laser lights danced around the room as we stepped into the first level of the busy nightclub. Light purple, flowing drapes hid booths that were occupied, leaving the one’s free, open and placed back to show submerged flowers in tall, glowing, cylinder vases in the center of the black, round tables.
I had been to nightclubs before, and not once were there booths hidden by drapes. It was odd, which struck my curiosity.
“Why are the drapes covering some of the booths?!” I yelled over the EDM music that thumped through my chest.
Ellis grinned. “Some people prefer privacy when they are here.”
“Why would they need privacy?”
He waved it off, as if the subject bored him, and shrugged. “Various things. Let’s get a drink.”
He smiled down at Andie, taking her hand and leading the way to the bar. As I held onto Andie’s hand, I squeezed past the people moving about. I noticed that a lot of them stared at me and Andie, looking us up and down with desire. Some of them even made it a point to come closer to us, as if we were a prize to be won. I thought at first that it was our very revealing attire that drew the eye, but quickly ruled that out as I realized that the women were just as interested as the men were. All of them strangely had the same unique blue eyes. What did Andie get me into?
With my body tense, I kept my head bowed, refusing to look at anyone. What strange people they all were. They made me uncomfortable. By the time I reached the bar, I was full of nerves, and I wasn’t completely sure I wanted to be here; not when most of the people here looked at me as if I was a meal to be eaten.
I grabbed hold of the bar, breathing deep through my nose as I tried to at least relax a little. This was my night away from all of the craziness at home so I wanted to enjoy tonight. I looked over to my right, relieved to find that a tan blonde that sat at the bar drinking a cosmopolitan had brown eyes and not blue. She gave a smile then turned away and drank the rest of her drink, not even the slightest interested or curious about me like the rest had been. At least there
