"It's gone," Greyson said, wiping his hands on his jeans as he walked into the lounge. "How is she?"
"After she was in your head she fell asleep," Kal said, looking over at Indianna who was asleep on the couch. "She's burning up and looks like she's in pain."
"You should've told me," Greyson muttered and walked over to Indianna, sitting down next to her, his presence soothing her immediately. "She gets like this when I'm away from her."
"Well, I thought you were a bit preoccupied disposing of the decapitated head," Kal said.
Greyson cursed quietly under his breath and closed his eyes. "I can't believe he sent that to her. He's sick."
"He wants her," Kal said as Greyson started to play with some of Indianna's hair. "We need to figure out why."
Greyson stayed quiet and Kal frowned, looking at him suspiciously. "What?" Greyson asked.
"You just blocked your thoughts off," Kal accused and Greyson shrugged.
"So?"
"You're hiding something."
"No I'm not."
"You know who he is!" Kal gasped. "You know why he wants Indie!"
"No, I don't," Greyson groaned. "Not for definite."
"You have suspicions?"
Greyson looked at his ginger friend and nodded. "I do. However, I pray to the Moon Goddess that I'm wrong."

When Indianna woke the next day she was still lying on the couch but she was snuggled into Greyson's chest.
"Hey," he said softly and ran his fingers through her long hair. "You alright?"
Indianna sighed and shook her head. "I can't stop thinking about Cassie."
"I know it's hard, but you're going to have to."
"What did you do with it?" Indianna asked quietly.
"It's gone," Greyson said dismissively. "It's over."
"I need to shower," Indianna said and stood up, trying to force the image of Cassie's head from her mind. "I feel dirty and horrible."
"I'll come with you," Greyson said, following Indianna out of the room.
"No you will not."
"I'll stay in the bedroom," he chuckled and they made their way up the stairs. "You've not sprouted hair in front of Kimberly have you?"
"Not yet," Indianna said. "Greyson, after what happened I don't think Kimberly should stay here. Something bad could happen to her."
"Currently I wouldn't mind if it did," Greyson muttered and sighed. "But I agree with you, however my parents are adamant that the bitch stays."
"Great," Indianna said sarcastically and opened the door to her room to see Kimberly sitting on her bed applying her makeup.
Kimberly looked up and narrowed her eyes at Greyson and Indianna. "What?"
"I think I should be asking that question," Indianna frowned. "This is my room."
"I don't see your name on it," Kimberly shrugged.
"I'll go scratch your name into the trash cans outside and you can stay there from now on," Greyson said and glared at Kimberly. "Get out."
Kimberly swallowed, but crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly. "I like this room. So... No."
"It's a beer, it tastes nice, you'll like it," Greyson said, handing Indianna a bottle of beer.
"Greyson," Indianna said and raised her eyebrows at him. "I am shy and may have not gone to many parties in my life, but I happen to know what beer is."
"Right, yeah, course," Greyson nodded and Indianna rolled her eyes, taking a gulp from the bottle.
"Is Brooke coming?"
"Her and Harry are already there," Greyson said. "Kal and Ace are coming now." On cue, Kal and Ace exited the house, both with beers in their hands.
"You're all drinking," Indianna said and frowned. "Who's going to drive?"
"I am," Greyson shrugged and downed his beer.
"But you're drinking!"
Greyson smirked and opened the car door for Indianna. "So?"
"It's illegal."
"Sugar, we're werewolves, it takes a lot of alcohol to affect us. Our bodies burn off the effect of alcohol extremely quickly. Even if I was drunk, I'm a great drunk driver. Now let's go."
Indianna cautiously climbed into the car and took another sip of beer as the others got in and Greyson started the engine. He glanced at Indianna and smirked.
"Hold on tight."

"See, you're alive," Greyson said cheerfully as he opened the car door for Indianna once they had reached their destination.
"You ass!" Indianna snapped and hit Greyson's shoulder. "You purposely drove like a reckless idiot to scare me!"
"And why would I do that to my mate?" Greyson wondered and grinned.
"We could've died!"
"Stop being dramatic," Greyson laughed and kissed Indianna's cheek. "I would never let anything bad happen to you."
Indianna pursed her lips and Greyson chuckled. He had just spent the last 10 minutes breaking as many laws as he could on the road.
Indianna thought she was going to shit herself when they nearly crashed into a tree.
"I hate you," she mumbled and started to walk towards where she could hear music.
"Impossible," Greyson said smugly and Kal and Ace fell into step next to them as they made their way through the woods.
The party was at the lake in town. Apparently in the summer lake parties were very common. It was extremely busy when they arrived. People were laughing, drinking and swimming in the lake. Indianna spotted Harry just as he shoved Brooke into the lake. She stood up and glared at him, grabbing his arm and pulling him in with her.
Greyson wrapped an arm around Indianna and swiped the beer from her hand, taking a large gulp. "Thank you," he said and handed it back to her. "Let's go."
"Where?"
"To the lake," he shrugged and in one smooth motion he had taken his shirt off and thrown it on the ground. "I," Greyson whispered and grabbed Indianna's waist, pulling her towards him. "Want." Greyson played with the bottom of Indianna's vest top and smirked. "To," he said and slowly lifted Indianna's vest up until it was lying on the floor with Greyson's shirt. "Make," he said and slid his hands down to Indianna's shorts. "You wet," he said into her ear and pulled Indianna's shorts down, leaving her standing in her bikini.
Indianna swallowed and Greyson smirked, knowing that his words were turning Indianna on. "What do you say?" He wondered and softly kissed her on the lips.
"I say," Indianna whispered and wrapped her arms round Greyson's neck. "You're not getting me anywhere near that water."
you should not have said that," Greyson said with a sly smirk and before Indianna could blink Greyson had lifted her up and chucked her over his shoulder.
"Greyson!" Indianna yelled in shock and hit his back. "Put me down!"
Greyson chuckled and walked over to the lake where Harry and Brooke were. "It's a little cold," he teased and moved Indianna so she was facing him. Indianna wrapped her legs round Greyson's waist and linked her arms around his neck.
"Don't you dare," she said and Greyson smirked, easily pulling Indianna's arms away and holding them tightly in his grip. "Greyson, I swear if you do, I'll-"
"Do what?" Greyson grinned and suddenly Indianna was engulfed by cold water. She could still feel Greyson holding onto her so when they resurfaced her legs were still wrapped around his waist.
"Greyson!" She exclaimed and glared at his smug expression. "You ass! Put me down, down!"
"Don't you like me getting you wet?" He asked innocently and adjusted his grip on her thighs.
"You're an asshole!" She grumbled and Greyson smirked, slowly putting Indianna down. He rested his hands on her hips and smirked.
"You do look hot though, sugar."
"Shut up," Indianna muttered and rolled her eyes.
"What about me?" Greyson wondered, arching an eyebrow at Indianna.
"Eh," she shrugged and she squealed when Greyson picked her up again and threw her into the water.
