It looked like as if heaven had come on earth. That's what the guests saw the Redfern's mansion as. Everyone who passed by was hypnotized by its beauty. It compelled them to come to the party. Even those who hadn't wished to go there, were now eagerly getting ready for the event.

The front garden was decorated with numerous lights swirled around the plants and trees. Each tree from at least a kilometer away from house was brightly illuminated, thus leading the guests into the mansion without any confusion. The backyard was decorated even more beautifully with hundreds of love seats and a little dome shaped shelter for a few couples to dance. A huge orchestra was gathered at the right side of the dome.

Inside the mansion, the main entrance straightly led to the ballroom. It was originally the Redfern's living room, but the furniture had been kept aside, creating a huge space for the dance. Almost every couple of San Francisco could dance there freely.

Many couples were dancing and many other people were either sitting at the bar flirting with each other or standing in the living room talking and gossiping and looking around. The event had already turned into a grand success.

Even though they were enemies, yet the Blackthorn's had to admit that they were awe-struck by this. Val was wearing a gray coat with black pants and a black shirt with a grey mask that covered his eyes and nose. His eyes were tensed and cautious all the time. He didn't want to be here, but because his family wanted to be here, he had no choice.

Thistle on the other hand was happily looking around, mesmerized by the beauty of the house. She wore a pinkish white frock which made her look cuter which was hardly possible. She always looked like a baby doll. Her white fairy-like mask only added perfectness to her look.

Pierce wore his casual clothes i.e. black shirt with blue jeans. He looked around and saw many other people dressed like him. His mask was also black color and scary looking. The feathers of the mask reaching till his cheeks with the combination of his cold eyes made him look deadly yet gorgeous.

Morgead definitely looked most gorgeous and handsome among his brothers. He wore a white suit with a black shirt underneath. His pants were white too as well as if mask which only covered his forehead and eyes. There was a burning aura coming off him according to anyone who noticed him. Girls were already checking him out. He looked around, satisfied with his looks that were enough to drive most of the girls crazy.

They all went to sit near the bar, making themselves comfortable. They were not talking among themselves but looking here and there either to target a prey or to find a suitable partner.

Morgead saw a beautiful girl coming towards them. She was walking gracefully and seemed to set fire behind her each step. She looked almost the same age of Morgead. Her hair was raven black and she was wearing an intense red color ball gown. She had a wonderful figure and her dress hugged her long body perfectly. When she came near, Morgead noticed her eyes were midnight blue and her flicks fully covered one of her eye. He wasn't sure if he had seen her around as her half face was covered with a beautiful golden mask.

She stopped at the Blackthorn's table. "Good evening everyone." She said in a warm and intense voice.

"Hey there young lady.. How many people have told you that you look amazing tonight? Please tell me I'm the fist." Morgead said in a charming voice and flashed a dazzling smile. The girl seemed to be a bit effected but she replied him politely.

"Well thank you but I'm afraid you're not the first one. By the way, you also look you look very dashing tonight"

"So will you do the honors to have a dance with this 'dashing' guy?" Morgead winked at her while she blushed and hesitated before replying him. Of course this wasn't anything new to Morgead. He knew what effect he had on ladies. It helped him a lot t attract his prey. But this one wasn't his prey. He knew she was a lamia. He could see it in her eyes and her beauty. But even Night World's girls couldn't resist his charm and right now she was falling in it.

"Well I would have loved to but I'm very sorry to say that I can't dance with you. You see, I wanna have a dance with the gentlemen sitting next to you." She said a looked over to Val.

Morgead couldn't believe what he had just heard. HE glanced to see Val just as much shocked but more amused. Pierce, sitting next to Val had his lips pressed in a hard line. He was trying very hard not to laugh. His expression irritated Morgead even more. He turned to his opposite side and saw Thistle's eyes bulged out. She couldn't believe his girl either. This somehow satisfies Morgead.

The girl bend towards Val who still hadn't recovered from the shock and held out her arm towards him. She then whispered to him in a very seducing voice, "Would like to Dance with me?" Even though her words were simple, but her tone was enough to spin the world around Val. He got up still dizzy and held her hand with his own. They then walked towards the dance floor. Val shot a glance behind his back where his family sat, still half stunned.

Remember that you don't reveal your real identity here to anyone. Don't tell your real name to anyone. And trust no one. He told his family telepathically and with that he turned to the dance floor. The girl settled her arms around his neck while he held her from her waist. They then started moving along the beat. Soon he was spinning her, encircling with her, and happily dancing with her. A little too close than just formally.

"What was that?" Thistle was still shocked when she asked out loud.

"I don't know. Maybe that's her type, still I'll admit that she was really a beautiful one."

Morgead sat dumbstruck through-out this conversation. Val got a date while he was sitting here alone. Could this get any worse? And it just did.

Pierce got up from his seat and went over to a human girl who was wearing a goldish-yellow gown. He bowed to her and let out his hand, asking her to dance. Morgead could tell that the girl stood there as if hypnotized. She was soon gonna be Pierce's snack without a doubt. Right now she accepted to dance with him and they too went over the low stage and started dancing almost next to Val.

Morgead noticed that Pierce's hands that were on her waist soon drifted their way down and grabbed her from her hips. She blushed and embraced Pierce closer. Looks like she isn't only gonna be his prey. There might be too many things happening along that. Morgead thought to himself and shook his head. Now he was sitting alone looking at other couples. Well he wasn't really alone, at least Thistle was sitting with him.

"Morgead, I'm bored here. I'm going out to the backyard to see what's cooking." She said that and headed off to backyard before Morgead could reply. She loved human food as much as she loved blood. So very Thistle.

Well now he was really alone. And bored too. That was when he saw a few boys coming near him, as if they were moving forward without realizing it. He looked at his other side and saw more boys looking over him, a few girls followed their gazes too while many other girls had an expression of jealous or insecurity over their face.

Confused, Morgead looked a little closer to them and saw that they weren't staring him but some one behind him. He also turned curiously to look what was behind him.

That's when he saw her. He can still recall that moment's every detail that passed by each second.

Everyone gathered and crowded to see as she stepped from a room's door into the hall. The room felt utterly silent except the music on dance floor and a few couples there which had also stopped dancing and followed everyone's gaze. She stepped out of one of the rooms, into the hall, wearing silver-colored extremely high heels. But she was balancing herself perfectly and walking as gracefully as on a ramp walk. She wore a beautiful royal blue ball dress that ended up just above her knees, showing off her flawless ivory legs. She was slim and trim and fragile looking. But everyone knew 'how much fragile' she wasn't at all.

Her face was showing the expressions of tigress who knew people were staring her in awe. She was used to being center of attention and she loved it. Her rosy lips, softly parted, held a smile that was neither sweet nor cunning but somewhat in middle. And her eyes! Those eyes which held Morgead's attention more than it held others'. For the first time ever, Morgead felt dizzy as he looked in her eyes, probably falling in them.

They were a shade of silver-blue which weren't humane at all but somehow seemed too humane at the same time. Her hair was a shade of fiery red that burned every man's heart along its way as she kept walking to the bar.

As she passed by, she glanced at Morgead for a second. A second too long to change everything. The moment their eyes met, everything else seem to fade away in background. Both of them held an intensity in their eyes which was hardly visible to the world but to each other. Not only Morgead, but she was also a little dazed by this contact. It was as if they both felt sparks flying around them.

She quickly broke the eye contact and looked over to the bar, still moving forward. The crowed started talking and moving again. The silence was broken within seconds and everyone was back to normal. Except for Morgead.

His heart was frozen and he couldn't tear his eyes away from her. Her back was turned to him as she was having a few drinks at the bar while Morgead kept admiring her backside featured. Her silky red hair, her sexy-flawless back, her way too perfect figure. She was stunningly and breath-takingly the most beautiful girl ever.

Before Morgead could even realize, his feeling came out loud in his mind and he knew he couldn't deny them. He can't find a will to deny them as he thought to himself.

I'm madly and stupidly and stunningly in love with her.
