Chapter 21
I straightened out my long purple dress. It went out quite a lot at the waist and past me feet to the floor. It wasn't a light purple. It was quite dark with shades of black. It was also strapless. I hated dresses that balanced on you're shoulders. I curled my hair and put it up, leaving some bangs at the side.
"You sure we can trust Amber with Gen Gen and Fabian?" Ingrid asked me. she had got a dress similar but in black.
"I read her thoughts. She's fine" I answered smiling. Erin had already gone to the ball which was in the vampire councils British base near the outside of Liverpool.
"Ok then well let's go!" we took Ingrid's shiny BMW.
"The building was huge. Like a mansion. No cars were anywhere. They probably flew. I took a deep breath and walked through the double doors. The inside of the hall my massive. Mosaic flooring with patterned ceiling. Posh. In the middle was a huge chandelier. I realised everyone was staring at me and looked down. They all had long dark dresses on and tux's. Just like a normal ball.
"You look amazing" Vlad whispered in my ear. I turned to see him stood in a shirt, tie, black trousers and his cape. Usual vampire clothes.
"You look pretty good yourself" I said smiling. He took me hand and walked me over to where everyone was standing.
The night soon trailed on.
"I would like to thank you all for coming" the count said cheerfully. I smiled at the look in his eyes. "It's been such against evening" that's when I zoned out after that.
"And now to the chosen one's dance" that's when I snapped back in and looked at Vlad.
"You didn't say I would have to dance Vlad!" I whispered.
"You'll be fine" he led me to the middle of the floor and put out his hand. I grasped hold of it and stared directly at him. "I love you"
"I know. I love you too" I smiled at him and tried not to focus on the 1000 vampires watching me. he pulled me close to him and slow danced. Finally as it finished he pressed a kiss to my lips. I smiled as he put his arm around my waist. I looked around and saw sunrise. With that everyone was gone. Including us.
"I'm sorry were so late Amber!" I apologised.
"Don't worry about it. I gotta go. See you later" Amber hugged me, picked up her coat and walked through the door. I smiled and turned to Vlad.
"So"
"So" Vlad said kissing me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. His hands positioned on my waist. "Come on. Bed" I nodded and followed him to our room. I kissed him again. I stepped backwards and tripped on the edge of the coffin and fell backwards. Vlad grasped my waist and pulled me back up so I was facing him.
"My knight in shining armour" I said smiling.
"Always!" I kissed him once more before Fabian woke up crying. I picked him up and thought 'bottle'. A bottle flew to my finger tips. I caught It perfectly and tested It on my wrist and placed it in his mouth. He drank it quickly and I burped him. I placed him back in his cot and put the blanket over him.
