Going up to him she embraces him and gives him a long passionate kiss. Nicholas wraps his arms around her waist holding her body close to his naked body. She notices him getting happy and throws clothing at him "get some clothing on" she states. "You sure you want me to" Nicholas replies; "yes" Lunetta says. A sad look on Nicholas' face, "don't give me that sad face I still love you" Lunetta adds. As Nicholas slips some clothing in and cuddle up with Lunetta in bed as they fall asleep in each other's arms.
Aero enters Jadis' room after getting into more comfortable clothing and putting up Nicholas' sisters dress into a locked box so it won't go missing. Entering into Jadis room Aero hears a piercing scream as Jadis cries out "Daddy where are you?!?" Aero quickly rushes to her side as she wakes up in a cold sweat, scared and still screaming. "It's ok Jadis I'm here for you" Aero states holding Jadis close. "Are you ok?" he asks. "No, I had a nightmare" Jadis states tears still streaming down her face. "What was your nightmare about?" Aero asks. "I had a nightmare about when I was little…I was out with my daddy when I was 6 years old and I followed a polar bear cub off away from my daddy the wind picked up and I was lost, scared, crying out for my daddy I didn't find him till later…I was so upset" Jadis states. "It's ok I'm here I would ever let you get lost" Aero states. "Promise?" Jadis asks. I promise" Aero replies. "I'm so scared of being lost…it's my worst fear next to spiders" Jadis adds. "Everything is ok now let's get some sleep" Aero states laying down on the bed. "Ok" Jadis replies resting her head on Aero's shoulder and quickly drifting off to sleep.
In Mela's room she is unable to get comfortable and decides to sleep in the pool. Alex being only a half Vampire but able to stay up for days if he chooses to decides to get on a shell floating device and try to relax so sleeping will be easier. As Alex is getting into the pool the waves wake up Mela on the bottom of the deep end. Alex is on the shell floating when Mela pokes her head out of the water. "Alex are you sleeping on the water?" Mela asks curious. "I'm a giant floating shell trying to relax before I go to my bed and go to sleep" he replies. "I couldn't get comfortable in my bed so decided to try the pool again" Mela states smiling at Alex on his shell. "Mela" he states "yes Alex" she replies. "If I asked you to be mine what would you say?" he asks. "I would say yes" she replies her arms resting on the edge of the floating shell. "So will you be mine?" Alex asks. "Yes I will Alex" Mela replies then kisses him gently before going under the water. "Mela" Alex says looking around the pool for her but not seeing her anywhere. Poking her head out of the water Mela reappears next to the shell "huh?" she says looking deep into his eyes. "Can we sleep in your bed tonight?" Alex asks. "You want to sleep in my bed with me? Why don't you sleep in your bed?" Mela asks. "I can't sleep right now and I don't want to be alone tonight. Would it be ok if I cuddle up with you while you sleep?" he replies. "Sure Mela states getting out of the pool naked this time, she quickly wraps a towel around her body.
Alex hops off his shell and into the water, swimming to the edge of the pool he gets out and dries off. "I'm going to get dressed really quick" Mela states going into her room and shutting the door while Alex pulls off his wet Speedo and puts on boxers and pajama pants. Mela opens the bed room door after slipping on some silk ocean blue pajamas. "Ready for bed" she announces. "Ok let's go" Alex replies. Grabbing Mela by the waist pulling her close to him and kissing her before getting into the bed and cuddling up with him. "Why is it that you can sleep?" Mela asks. "I'm not a full blooded Vampire if I want to I can stay up for 3 days straight with no sleep" Alex replies. "So you need sleep?" Mela asks. "Yes, I need sleep and yes I need air to breath the benefits of being a half Vampire is I heal quickly, have super speed and can control my urges for blood" Alex states holding Mela close to him. "So you don't have to do through the blooding process" Mela states. "I do but it's not as sever for me as it will be for Aero…listen I don't have a heart beat" Alex states resting Mela's head on his chest. "You're right no heart beat, but I can hear you breathing" Mela states hugging him and falling asleep.
