"I don’t think so Gabby. Its not – "

"I can’t stay here anymore!" She told him sharply. "I haven’t left for too long!"

"Gabby, it’s not safe for you out there, You know why you can’t leave…" Gabrielle frowned deeply and rose, sighing, then running towards the door. Kael reached it before her, blocking it and holding it closed. Gabrielle struggled to push him aside, to make him move, but he wouldn’t. With a weak sigh, she dropped to the floor in front of Kael, staring up at him with dark eyes.

"I just want to go out…remember when we used to go out and have fun? We’d go and rink, and dance and…we don’t…" Kael lowered her eyes away from her and extended a hand to help her up, which she glared at in silent refusal.

"Gabby, do you really want to go out?" Pouting, she nodded. He smiled and again extended a hand. "Then we will." Gabrielle looked up at him with happiness taking over the darkness of her eyes.

"Okay." She responded, accepting his hand and letting him pull her up. Immediately she bolted to the door, running to the bike that someone had left in front of the house. Kael strolled out of the house slowly, and slid in front of her. They were off, clubbing, intent on an innocent evening out.

Aspen stood impatiently by the door, clad in a short, strapless red dress, trying to catch Christian’s attention, which was hard to come by. Finally, she slammed her purse down on the couch he was sitting on, and began to speak as he finally looked up.

"You promised tonight that we’d go out. I’m ready, I’ve been ready for an hour, and you’re still sitting on the couch watching god knows what…now are we gonna go, or what?" Rolling his eyes, Christian flicked the television off, and stood up.

"Sure." He shrugged, making his way out the door. "You only needed to ask." Aspen closed the door, chattering away happily, while Christian thought he may catch a glimpse of Gabrielle at the club. Tonight just seemed like an untainted night, where everything would go right.
