*~*Rika's POV*~*
A lot has happened lately. There was the attack on Dawson. Reagan admitting to me that the attacks were likely linked and his subsequent apology to me. Ashle getting a new power. Lyssa's pregnancy announcement and then Warrick being turned. They had marked each other as well. Just like Westin and I had done for each other. I was sure that Elias wanted to mark Haley, and that Beech wanted to mark Jared as well, but they were holding off at the moment for some reason.
And now, even after all of those things that had happened, tonight was that Halloween party that we had been planning. I had thought about cancelling it, but the others had been right. We needed to keep things calm for the others in the group. We didn't want to start a mass panic among them, and we didn't want to scare them unnecessarily. We needed to handle this with poise and tact.
