Wow. I have nothing to say ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

Silver watched her in her bedroom reading a book twisting her red hair in her fingers.he smirked as she flipped around searching for him outside.

'I know your there come out Silver' she reached for him their minds connecting.

'It is about time I have been sitting out here for an hour waiting for my vixen of a beauty to notice me.'

'You lie, you've been out there for about a minute and you know it' she said skeptically.

'And how do you know I have not been hiding my aura?' he listened as she laughed.

'Right. Silver I know you-for one you are way too impatient to wait for someone to notice you after an hour and for two your not the kind of guy that enjoys watching a girl through her bedroom window.'

'How very well you know me' he laughed.

'Come in, Silver, I have to tell you something' suddenly all of Celeste's happiness was gone replaced by a hard sadness and fear.

Silver awoke in a cold sweat. He knew that dream all to well and how it ended. It had been the night she told him of her pregnancy-and the night she had asked him if he could help during the spell. His relationship with Celeste had been no more than an extremely tight bond of friendship but they still loved each other as brother and sister.

He sighed standing and changing into a new pair of clothes. He noted it was hardly past three but he knew when dreams of Celeste plagued him he would not be able to sleep for the next two to three days. He quickly left to Las Noches thinking of the time when Marina had called him an 'albino bastard' he wondered if she knew her mother had called him the same thing once and got the same reaction. He entered Las Noches with a smile on his face.

Marina sat outside staring out onto the quiet street. The sun was setting and she knew he would come. Silver had made his prescence known the he had dropped by earlier by the single white rose bud that she twirled in fingers avoiding the the thorns.

She let the mild warm air brush her hair around her face in a swirl of red gold as she looked down the street. She wore a black tube-top under a leather black vest and black jeans. As soon as the wind stilled she felt him there. She turned her head to the side to see him lounging casually in another lawn chair. He wore a white victorian looking shirt tucked loosely into male victorian breeches.

Marina burst out laughing at his appearence. "Where's the costume party King William?"

"Aubrey is having it I thought to invite you it's tonight" he said seriously.

"Oh. Um, no that wouldn't be apprpriate would it?" Marina quickly stood and yelped dropping the rose.

She held her hand out in front of her as her blood ran in a thin line on her palm. She looked up at him and his eyes showed satisfaction. She quickly healed the wound and wiped the blood on her jeans. She bent down and picked up the rose careful not to touch any thorns.

"You accaept my rose but not my invitation? A few centurys ago that could have proven a scandal" he said stepping in front of her leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah well its not centuries ago is it?" she stood her ground crossing her arms over her chest careful of the rose.

His smile made her stomach flutter and she shifted uncomfertabely.

"Jager will be there as well maybe you can ask him why he blood bonded your mother" he suggested making her think.

"Fine" she said quickly "But it is not like I have anything to wear to a costume party" she shook her head.

"On your bed you have clothes" Silver smirked "I will wait in your living room if that is alright."

Marina lifted her hands and dropped them in defeat "Fine. I've lost my mind, but fine" they entered her house and she went to the her room.

Her jaw dropped at the beautiful silk skirt and black corset. She fingered the material then quickly went to her bathroom.

She took a quick shower and changed into the black corset finding that the material that went around her back was silk with dark crimson roses. She slid on the black skirt a large portion of her leg showing. She found black sandals and buckled them on quickly then wrapped her hair up elegantly with a few tendrils hanging in front of her face. She applied a dark eyeliner and a lip gloss then went down stairs slowly feeling his eyes on her all the way.

"Beautiful" he stared dazed "But I have the finishing touch."

Marina gasped as he appeared behind her sliding a gold necklace around her throat. She looked in the mirror and saw the bright emeralds and diamonds.

"No, I-I-I can't what are you crazy look at me!"

"You look like a true victorian woman wearing those" he said quickly stepping away.

"Yeah in mourning" she grumbled.

"And I can't help but looking at you, so don't think I'm not" he whispered in her ear.

Her eyes widened slightly as he stuck out his arm giving a handsome smile his eyes twinkling. "May I court you?"

"Sure" she said slowly taking his arm.
