《The Boy with the Beautiful Name》Miami 22
Advertisement
Sara sucked in air.
For some reason, Bentley didn't react at all to seeing the girl. He simply sighed and combed his fingers through his tousled, silken hair.
"Well?" the blonde repeated. She stomped her foot, impatiently waiting for one of them to answer.
Sara bit her lip.
What could she say?
"Beeeentleeeey! This is totally be-jeezus, unbelievable. I'm feeling quite off the roof with confusion here," the girl said.
Sara lifted an eyebrow.
The girl turned her stormy face towards Sara.
It was that blonde lookalike Wonder Twin!
"Go, I'll distract her," Bentley whispered.
Sara stifled a giggle as she darted up off the couch. She hastily grabbed her costume off the floor and ran from the room. Behind her she heard Bentley say, "Come on, Carmen. You and Alicia both know I--"
Sara didn't hear the rest.
The bouncer outside The Cave grabbed her by the shoulder. "You need clothes, Miss," he growled.
Sara stopped dead in her tracks. "Oh, right. Sorry." She flung her rumpled nurse costume over her head and quickly buttoned it.
This bouncer probably thinks Bentley and I hooked up. OMG I am SO not that easy, Sara thought in dismay.
She had just turned to go when Erin slammed into her.
"CHICA! Where have you BEEN? I've been looking everywhere for you!" Erin's right braid had come undone and her Little Red Riding Hood cape was twisted strangely to the side.
"Oh really?" Sara said. She poked a finger at Erin's wrinkled dress.
Erin rolled her eyes. "Please. My make-out sesh with Trev...that happened SO five minutes ago." She waved a hand in the air. "Anyway, Pam called. She LOVES our costumes," Erin said. She had to yell to be heard over the music. "The grill closed early for Halloween tonight. So Pam and Patrick are both out on the town." She snickered. "And get this, they're in a couple's costume, too. Only they're dressed up as a librarian and a book." Erin kept her face neutral. But then she burst out laughing. "Pam's the book!"

Sara started to giggle, too. While she and Erin loved Pam to pieces, they both knew that Pam could never pick out a decent Halloween outfit.
"I'm sure Pam makes a book costume look great," Sara said.
Erin held up her phone to show Sara a picture.
Pam and Patrick were holding each other and smiling.
Patrick wore a gray suit and tie. He had tiny spectacles perched on his nose. He still looked pretty cute, especially with his crooked little tooth and forest green eyes.
Pam, however, was practically hidden inside her huge costume. To top it off, there was a big plastic bookworm sewn into the side of it.
"Well, if Patrick thinks she looks awesome, that's what matters," Sara said. "But let Pam know you and I are going to choose her costume next year."
Erin gave her an air five. "Totally with you, Chica." She dropped her phone back into her small purse. "All right. It's Halloween. We're in Miami. We're in a nightclub. LET'S DANCE!"
Erin took Sara's hands and started to spin her around.
Sara did a twirl, giggling heartily. As she took Erin's hands to help her friend spin, she locked eyes from afar...with Bentley.
He stood like a sculpted marble statue, watching her intently.
Even in the sea of dancing bodies around them, his glowing chocolate milk eyes melted her insides completely, sending her heart racing into a fluttering fury.
He winked at her.
Sara attempted a wink back, but her glued on fake eyelash seemed to catch. She pushed the eyelash out of her eye and saw Bentley laughing. His eyes sparkled under the neon lights.
The two Wonder Twins had their arms wrapped around him. One of the girls whispered into his ear.
He said something back that caused the girl to scowl.
When his eyes flitted back towards Sara, they had resumed their sparkle.
Erin pulled Sara out of her dreamy trance by spinning her around again. "Your nurse costume is really wrinkled, Chica. What happened? Did you cross paths with a super sexy someone special?" Erin's face blanched as realization dawned on her.
Sara closed her eyes and reopened them. Erin didn't miss a thing.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
