“We are going to a party.”  Sam said off handedly, taking a sip out from a bottle of water.  Her voice playful, as her eyes sparkled.

            “You did all of this for a party?”  Ivan questioned, crossing her long legs.  There was definitely something about this girl.  She had class, but there was something devilish about her as well, you could tell she’d done a lot of things in her life, her eyes told many stories.

            “Not just any party.”  Sam said mysteriously.

            “Is it someone’s birthday?  Because I didn’t get them a present.  I would hate to get there without a present.”  Dana asked, and Sam shook her head and pursed her lips.  The others just smiled at Dana and her seeming innocence.

            “We are going to Venus Island aren’t we?  It’s the Gathering of Amazon’s isn’t it?  It is that time of the year, if the rumors about that place are really true.”  Marina asked, meeting Sam‘s grey eyes with her own dark exotic ones.

            “This girl knows her folk lore and has her ear to the train track.  I knew I liked you for something other than those killer legs and ***** accent.”  Sam flirted, her face a serious one. 

            “That place is a myth.  I have asked, prodded and I know that its not really in this existence.  It’s one of those things that bored lezbo’s make up in their spare time.”  Alice stated, crossing her arms.  Sam just looked at her seriously, a look that Alice had seen before when she was in college.  Alice than had to ask, since the room was silent.  “It’s not a myth?  I thought it was an urban legend.”  Sam just stood quietly, her eyes not meeting Shane‘s, who was trying desperately to get her attention.  Shane sat back, enjoying the sight of Sam moving about with grace in the cabin.  Tina watched Shane watching Sam and a twang of jealousy rose up inside of her.

            “Wait, what is Venus Island and the Gathering of Amazons?”  Jenny asked innocently, she was a small town girl, with small town gossip ears.  She’d been plunged into a world where she really didn’t know anything.  Sam glanced at Shane and stuffed her hands into her pockets, not able to keep her gaze steady.
