“It’s not like you,” she mocked back. Demi turned on her heel looking at him, a sweet, sarcastic smile upon her face. “What isn’t like me? Being able to have fun?” She put the horns back on her head. “Yes, yes, we all know you and I locked away for protections, yadiyadiyada. Both too serious to ever surrender to the good things in life, ” she spoke rolling her eyes. “Not anymore.”

“This isn’t fun!”  Adrien snapped.  “Maybe I was sheltered, but it was my choice.  And fun doesn’t have to come from hurting people, you’re one of the people who knows that best.  There’s something wrong with you.”

“Nothing is going on, Adrien,” she said turning her body towards him. I am just feeling great tonight and we’re going to have a good time. And I will do whatever I have to to get what I want,“ she said standing up and patting his shoulder, "c'mon.”

“Wait, did you say tonight?!”  Adrien said, suddenly panicking as he looked out the window and saw that the sun had already set.  He looked down at his hands, confused as to how he hadn’t changed, but he put that to the side.  “No.  This isn’t like you.”

Demi turned her head sharply at the sound of her name, “hmm?” She moved her leg from the ground to the bench leaning back, “I’m just having some fun, baby brother.” She spoke throwing her ears at the boy. 

“That isn’t usually your idea of fun...  What’s going on with you?”  Adrien’s brow furrowed in confusion as he took a step closer.

a smirk seemed permanent on the girls face. her lips had been painted red as she twirled her fake devil ears in her hands. demi had one leg resting on the bench she was sitting on and the other she stuck out quickly to trip whoever was walking by.

Adrien didn’t even want to come to this stupid party.  The only reason he even bothered to show up was because he didn’t want to disappoint his sister, but when he saw her about to trip someone, he knew something was up.  “Demi? What the hell are you doing?”

“oh yes, i am terrible at reading people. i have not at all been reading grown men since the age of eleven,” she rolled her eyes. demi shook her head, “itll take as long as we need it to.”

“Well I’m not making excuses, so clearly you’re not as good as you think you are.”  Adrien pursed his lips.  “Fine, but as soon as the sun starts setting I’m leaving whether you like it or not.”

“You are also drowning in self pity and making excuses.” She smiled, “exactly! It is fun to pretend to be something youre not. I’m sorry, do you know what fun is?” she joked. “Come out with me!”

“And you’re clearly a terrible judge of character.”  Adrien rolled his eyes before looking down at his watch and sighing.  “Fine, but it can’t take too long.”

“yes, yes. you never did anything we know. but you can do something here, maybe! stop drowning in self pity and have fun!” she teased, “oh! maybe ill be the devil!”

“I’m not drowning in self pity, I just hate being social.  There’s a difference.”  Adrien raised an eyebrow.  “You?  The devil?  That couldn’t be any further from your personality.”

“oh cheer up, tomorrow is halloween! back home we always used to throw a masquerade party, it was the best. almost as wonderful as christmas. i think i’m just going to dress up as a wizard!”

“Demi, you know I never went to those parties.”

“Look i’ve handled some crazy stuff before I came here so trust me I think i’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me.”

“Trust me, you’ve never handled anything like me.”  Adrien looked over at the setting sun, biting his lip.  “Just get out of here, okay?  Get somewhere safe and lock the door.”

“I highly doubt that. What do you go through that’s so bad?”

“Let’s just say I’m not exactly myself at night.”  Adrien snapped.

“Yes I’m asking your my little brother, I was worried about how you were.. okay.. it’s gonna be fine.. this place actually isn’t so bad.. not here we were are standing obviously.” She shook her head. “Doesn’t matter who did it.. I doubt I will see them again.” She said calmly taking a deep breath.

“What do you mean it doesn’t matter?!  He locked you in a closet!”  Adrien growled.  “This guy won’t even be recognizable by the time I’m done with him...”  He muttered under his breath, gritting his teeth.

Rosie couldn’t help but feel a hint of concern rising inside of her at the boy’s words, her brows furrowing in confusion. “For my own good? But, you don’t seem alright… are you sure that I can’t help you? I can handle anything.”

“I’m fine, okay?  Just-  Just go.”  Adrien snapped, almost like a growl, and turned away from the girl.

“I want to be alone.”

“You too, huh?” Tim mused, upon hearing the other male’s words.

“Look, I don’t know what you think we have in common, but I can promise you, what I go through is way worse than whatever you go through.”

Elle pressed herself closer to the door practically clawing at it, the hours made it feel as though she had been stuck in the closet all day. Straightening right away when she heard a voice. “Adrien?” She yelled shocked pounding on the door she stopped and stepped back when the door was kicked down. She grinned tiredly and wrapped her arms around him relieved her brother was okay. “I’m fine.. I’m okay.. thank you” she turned to look back at the closet and shuddered . What about you?“ She said taking in a deep breath. "Where did you come from? How long have you been here?”

“You’re asking me if I’m okay?  I’m not the one who was just trapped in a closet!”  Adrien’s breathing was hard, adrenaline rushing, though he tried to calm down.  “I don’t know.  I was in my room and then I woke up here...  But I’ve only been here about a day.  Look, there are more important things we need to focus on.  Did someone do this to you?”

A pout graced Ryuu’s lips as the other told him to get away. “But, why? I promise I’m not that bad. Or, maybe I am. I might be, but I promise I’ll try my best not to be. You just looked a bit lonely and it’s never good to be lonely,” he rattled on.

“It’s not you, alright?”  Adrien snapped before taking a breath and a step back.  “I can’t handle...  I can’t deal with people, not right now.”  

Demi looked at the time, “you’re going to be fine.” She knew it wasn’t the smartest idea to stay with him, but she couldn’t bring herself to leave him alone. “I’ll be fine. M-maybe nothing will happen tonight, you never know,” she swallowed.

“Of course.  Why shouldn’t something that’s been happening every night for seventeen years take a break?”  Adrien replied, taking a step back.  “Demi, please, just go.”
