Music in the hall filled my ears. Looking around I see many suits, there are very few dresses, as there are very few women vampires. Everybody looks so happy.
I spot Arra; she's talking to Seba and Vanez. She looks so beautiful tonight. She is wearing a long slender black dress, her hair is up in a lose bun. Vanez, the old Games Master, his hair is still as messy as ever, and Seba, my friend and the Quartermaster, old and wise, he taught my mentor everything he knows.
Speaking of my mentor, he is not at the party tonight; Larten Crepsley went on a mission and won't be back for a while. We all miss our dear friend.
"I just don't see why he had to leave just a few days before council." said Arra.
"He is doing it for the clan, Arra." said Seba, laying a hand on her shoulder.
Nobody told me much about this mission, I'm a Prince! I should know what's going on!
Vanez was shushing everyone as he saw me arrive.
"Hello guys!" I said, smiling.
"Sire." They said together.
"Very funny guys, you know I hate it when you call me that!" They all laughed.
"We're glad you could make it, Darren." said Arra, smiling down at me.
The music slows down and I look up at Arra, she is watching other vampires dance, I can see the look of longing on her face.
"Care to dance?" I ask, offering her my hand. She smiles and willingly takes it as I lead her to the dance floor. We dance for a while before I stop dancing.
"What is it?" she asks me.
"Nothing, I just think that you should be dancing with him instead." With a sly smile on my face I point over her shoulder.
She curiously turned around and came face to face with Larten Crepsley.
She gasped and threw her arms around him.
"Larten! Where have you been? You've been gone for so long, I had my doubts on whether you would come back alive or not."
"I am safe now Arra, no need to worry." He replied to her.
I stepped over to the side with Seba and Vanez and watched them dance for what seemed like hours. Nothing could ruin this perfect night for them.
I left the hall smiling, and went to my bed chamber, and fell asleep almost instantly in my hammock.
