When they got to the club Selena got out, leaving her jacket in the car. She spotted Gianna standing by the door so she headed over. "Hey Gee! I'm glad you could make it." she said as she gave the girl a hug. Taking Alex's hand she headed into the club after Hayley. Tonight was going to be both fun and interesting, she musn't forget that she was hear to look after Hayley. "Let's dance." she said to Alex as she led him to the dance floor. She looked after Hayley for a second before smiling at Alex.

Hey it’s good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again

When they arrived to the nightclub, Brody saw Gianna standing outside waiting. After Selena had given her a hug, he approached her giving her a kiss.
"You look smoking hot, babe," he said and gave Gianna a big smile and another kiss before he took her hand and walked after the others inside. Just as Selena and Alex headed for the dance floor, so did he and Gianna. This was the first time he was actually on a nightclub with Gianna and he was rather looking forward to it, especially since she looked like a billion dollars, or at least in his eyes.

While the other hit the dance floor, she on the other hand went straight for the bar. She needed a drink, but she did as Alex had ordered her to, she only ordered beer, so while she took a seat by the bar and waited for her beer, she looked out at her cousins dancing with their girlfriends. Hayley payed the bartender when he came with her foaming beer.
"Thanks," she said and took a sip of her beer. She sighed slightly, if she didn't have the chance on going out like now, how on earth would she be able to find a guy, she thought. Then she corrected a bit on her dress, crossed her legs and turned on her charm in hope that some guy would fall for it.

The music thumped so loudly that she could hear it two streets away, but that was how she liked it - music did a great job in hiding the screams. Sauntering in confidently, her eyes quickly darted over those she saw, but no-one caught her eye particularly for the moment, and so pushing her way through the crowds, she managed to make it to the bar. Reaching into her cleavage, she pulled a single note out and placed it on the bar for the barman. When he made it over to her, she ordered a bottle and told him to keep the rest for himself - she had already had dealings with him before... He had very nearly thrown her out on a few occasions for hunting among his patrons, but she had promised to tone it down and be a little more subtle, and for a few extra dollars every now and then, he would turn as much of a blind eye as he could. Taking her drink, she glanced around, and paused for a moment. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out two photographs and glancing to one of them, a smirk appeared upon her features and she shoved the photographs back into her pocket. Well well well, it seemed her night just got better and better. Her eyes locked onto the blonde girl at the bar who seemed to be giving off two vibes - half of her seemed nervous, hesitant, whereas Hex also got the feeling that this girl was just dying to get out there and strut her stuff. She didn't say anything for now, didn't do anything, she just watched and waited for the time being, her mind working quickly.

It's the story behind the image that's important.

Alex twirled Selena around before he pulled her closely to his body as he looked her into the eyes.
"You know we should go clubbing a bit more," Alex said loudly so Selena could hear him for the music that pumped out of the speakers. Then he twirled her again and made a classy dip before he pulled her up again, so they again danced closely together. In fact he had only been to the nightclub once before and that was with Selena and it had been several months since that had happened. Then he gave her a big smile and gave her a kiss as he put his arms around her.

Selena smiled as Alex twirled her, she absolutely loved to dance. She could still remember the first and only other time her and Alex had gone to the club together, she had invited Brody first to go with her but he was too busy...then she had ran into Alex and invited him even though she didn't really know him well then. "We really should go out more together." she said a smile on her face as she agreed with Alex. She glanced over at Hayley and noticed Gianna and Brody over there with her, her gaze then moved along the bare and she spotted a female werewolf that she had heard about. Hex, she liked to feast on humans and such, if Selena ever had too deal with her she would not go easy. Looking at Alex she returned his kiss before turning and dancing close to him. "Love you." she said into his ear after she had turned to face him.

Hey it’s good to be back home again

When the beer arrived, he paid them before he took his and turned around and looked at the dancing herd of people. He took a sip of his beer placed it on the counter again, gave Gianna a kiss on the cheek and then he grabbed Hayley's hand and practically dragged her out on the dance floor .
"Come on Hayley, you're suppose to have fun," he said and gave Hayley a twirl as they started to dance. He caught a glimpse of Selena and Alex and waved at them. He knew that Hayley didn't want to dance with him, but he wanted to do something for her, so she didn't just sit there by the bar, she must feel like the fifth wheel. Maybe he shouldn't have asked Gianna to tag along, then he could have entertained his cousin.

Hayley couldn't help but stare at Gianna as she blabbered away, all she could think was how fast can this woman talk. The words came out like a waterfall and in hope of not being able to talk she took a long gulp of her beer so she almost drank half of it. She had barely put the beer on the counter before her cousin dragged her out on the dance floor. She looked annoyed at him and didn't want to dance at first, but as she looked at Brody's so called dancing, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh my gosh you dance like crap. What ever happened to those dance moves I taught you in New York?" she asked and started to teach Brody some proper dance moves, by showing him and this time it was her who twirled him around, although it was a bit hard as he was so much taller than her. So she went back to the basics with him, but no matter how much she tried she couldn't get him to do it right. This man simply didn't have one rhythm in his body.

Her eyes remained focused and fixed upon Hayley as she was dragged away from her seat at the bar and began to dance with a male. Her gaze shifted to the other here she recognized from the photograph she carried with her. Watching Alex as he danced with Selena, she took a long drink from her bottle before taking a good look around at the rest of the crowd. Pushing her way away from the bar, Hex moved in the general direction of the Head Gamma and the ones she danced with and bumping past Hayley on the dancefloor, Hex glanced to her as she did so before sauntering past and idly grabbing a young male by the collar of his shirt, she more or less dragged him behind her, dancing as she did so to hide her actions, before leading him towards the fire escape at the back corner of the room. Pushing the bar to open the door, she pulled the man outside with her and hoped at least Hayley had watched as she hunted right in front of them all. He was drunk and eager but not for what Hex had in mind. He was grinning stupidly as she pushed him back against the door and he still wore it as her punch landed, knocking the sense out of him, what little there had been. As he slid down the door, Hex stepped back and smirking darkly, she let her feral nature overwhelm her. Dropping to all fours as she growled and snarled, transformation complete, she launched a savage attack on the boy, ripping flesh from bone, his weak yells for help as realization dawned upon him were lost beneath the heavy thumping of the music from within the club and laying down, Hex fed hungrily, her eyes sparking with mischief. The cogs had been set into motion, she hoped.

Alex gave Selena a kiss when she told him, she loved him.
"Well big surprise, so do I," Alex said with a chuckle, as he noticed Brody was now dancing with Hayley. He smiled in Brody's direction when he waved to them.
"Hey do you want something to drink? I think they serve soft drinks as well," Alex said referring to that Selena might not wanted to drink alcohol. As he looked in the direction of the bar, his eyes caught a blond girl, who came straight for them, he was sure she had looked straight at him for a second, before she walked in the direction where Brody and Hayley was dancing, bumping into Hayley, but he couldn't see if it was on purpose. There was something about her that made him slightly concerned, but as she dragged a guy out through the fire escape he didn't put more thought into that, before he turned his attention back to Selena.
"So what about that drink?" he asked and gave her a smile.

Selena noticed the blonde as she bumped into the Hayley, her eyes followed her as she pulled a guy to the fire exit. She felt like something was wrong, but that thought was pushed out of her mind when Alex spoke. "Huh?" she hadn't quite heard what he said, she glanced back towards the fire exit before it dawned on her what he had said. "Yea...umm...yea a drink would be good." she said. Something was bothering her but she didn't know what, as she headed towards the door she thought she heard a scream but she wasn't sure over the loud music. Sitting down she ordered a club soda and returned her eyes to Hayley and Brody. She had sat near Gianna so they could talk some if Gee wanted. Selena gave Alex a smile as she grabbed her glass, her eyes moved behind him to the exit again before going to Hayley. She could feel all chances of having fun wash away as she took a sip of her soda.

Stretching as she licked her muzzle, her belly full now and her hunger sated, Hex shifted back to her human form, making sure to pick up what bits she had left of her prey and shoved them into the nearest dumpster. Brushing herself down and sweeping her hair back, she sauntered around the side of the building and out into the street before heading towards the front door of the club once more. Heading inside, flashing a smirk to the bouncers who could have sworn she had already gone inside, she once more headed to the bar, only to meet with a disapproving shake of the barman's head. "Hex, I told you... you can't be coming in here and killing the customers! It's not good for business!" Hex calmly nodded her head in agreement. "I know, I know... I'm sorry, okay? I won't cause any more trouble, I promise..." She wasn't the most trustworthy when it came to making promises, choosing to break more than she kept. "Actually, I need you to do something for me. Can you send a round of drinks over to that table for me? It's for the Head Gamma, that girl she's sitting with and her mate, and these two...." She pulled out the photographs of Alex and Hayley and flashed them to the barman, who reluctantly agreed, and organised a round of drinks to be taken over to their table as Hex handed him a few notes for the trouble and expense. Hex watched from the bar as another barman headed through the crowd with a tray of drinks and set them down on the table before Selena and Gianna, one for each of them, plus Brody, Alex and Hayley.

Hey it’s good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again

Brody had enough of dancing for now, so he went back to the others with Hayley. He took a seat next to Gianna and saw that there was a drink there .
"Oh great you ordered drinks," he said and downed it without any further comments.
"Wow that fell on a dry spot. I'm so not cut out for that dancing thing, I prefer a more slow tune," he said and gave Gianna a little smile, before he kissed her cheek.
"So how are we all doing?" he asked and looked at his family and friends.

Selena glanced at Gianna for a second, it wasn't her place to tell her what was up, that would have to be up to Brody. Her eyes moved around the club and she noticed the blonde reentering, she kept her eyes on her... there was an almost triumphant look in her eyes as she sat down at the bar. "That wolf is no good. I have a feeling that I will be dealing with her at some point in time. As for what all is happening you will have to ask Brody." she told her. Drinks arrived at their table, Selena pushed hers to the side because she wouldn't be drinking tonight, she had a general idea of where they came from. Brody and Hayley arrived back at the table and Selena sent them a smile. "You are so not cut out for dancing Brody." she joked before taking a sip of her soda. There was a smile on her face as she looked at Alex, nudging him playfully. [i]"Are you going to find a cute guy to dance with tonight Hayley?" she asked.

She watched as her drinks were taken over to the table, and as Selena pushed hers to the side, Hex assumed it was through stubbornness and spite. She looked back to the barman, and already pushing her luck with him, she had one more tiny request to make. Asking for a pen and paper, she took twenty seconds to write a small note before folding it up and passing it back to the barman. With puppy dog eyes and a pout, she fluttered her eyelashes at him dramatically, trying to get him to take the note over to the table, too. "We are not your private delivery service, Hex...!" She put her hands up in an 'I surrender' pose as she smirked some. "Okay, do this one thing more for me and I promise I'll leave right now and I won't come back for a whole week... Sound good?" It did, and he reluctantly agreed, taking the small note and passing it to one of the other barman, with instructions on who it was meant for. Not the whole table, only the blonde. Hayley.

Notoriously one for not keeping her promises, the barman kept a close eye on Hex, but to his surprise, she left the bar, sauntered through the crowd and this time, left via the front door.

Hayley couldn't help but chuckle on their way over to the others. Brody was not the born dancer, but it was fun to watch. She noticed the drink in front of her and looked surprised at the others, she thought she wasn't allowed to drink those. When Selena asked if she was going to find a cute guy to dance with, Hayley looked around.
"It's a pretty dull crowd to tell you the truth, I mean come on look at them. Would have been completely different in New York," she said as one of the barmen came down and handed her a note, she unfolded it at read what it said. She narrowed her eyebrows a little, how on earth did anyone know that she had got a job at the cafe. She looked around, but didn't know who the note came from, the barman had already vanished.
"Odd," she simply said.

Selena looked at Hayley as she recieved a note, she didn't want to seem to nosy so she just let it be. Something had her on edge though and she didn't know what. All she wanted to do tonight was have a little fun and now she was tense. "Congragulations Hayley on your new job." Selena said as she lifted her glass to her, she was glad to finally see that Hayley had something to do and that now she would be able to help out at the apartment. Selena set her drink down and looked out at the dance floor, sort of zoning out as she listened to the music. Tonight this was not a place for her.
