Summary:

Siete has a secret and there's a new girl on the block. Only, how new is she to the vampire world? The rumors caused by her appearance lead to confusion, which is the perfect opportunity for the Vida family to bring down New Mayhem, once and for all.

Last Chapter

"Hey, Jag, it's time for me to retire for the night. For tomorrow will be a very interesting day if all goes to plan." Standing, he straightened his belt and simply disappeared, leaving Jager and one now-empty bottle of beer left in the club.

The waves below the coastal cliff where Siete and Mel resided were surprisingly calm. No wind, just the sound of waves crashing against the rocks. Silver, who had been searching all over for some trace of Siete, had finally located the position he held. He looked at the lying man and the woman, whose face could not be seen, snuggled against him left side. The long, raven hair that was spilled over the girl's body and Siete's made Silver want to walk over and feel it, just to see if it was as soft as it was beautiful. Her arm lay bent with her hand over his chest, while the rest of her tan body just lay rigid. Sunlight suddenly caressed the small woman's curves and skin. It was just barely past the break of dawn.

"Tch. Siete always has had a thing for keeping the girl's he's fed on." Sitting down on a nearby rock, Silver sat in wait for the pair to wake. He admired the beauty around, and how though it was midway through October, everything was a luscious green, unusual anywhere around the world. It was as if the place these three bodies occupied was full of an eternal magic.

Luckily for Silver, he only had to wait about 20 minutes until the two began to stir. Once Siete and Mel's minds were awake, their bodies became rigid from sensing someone near. Siete reached out and found it was Silver, so he relaxed, but Mel, who did not realize who sat behind them, was still very wary. Her heart was pounding in her ears, the heartbeat racing along with it. Slowly, both sat up as if nothing was wrong, looking toward the sunset. Siete had his hand around Mel's waist, which was barely visible from her raven hair flowing down her back. Silver just watched and waited for them to turn around, though instinct told him something was different. He recognized her; he just couldn't place it at the moment. Time seemed to have stood still for all on the cliff. But in reality, all were on edge. Mind racing, Mel closed her eyes and focused on the man next to her.

'Siete. Who the hell is he?'

Siete, shocked she wasn't using her power to scope him out, turned to her and smiled.'No need to worry. It's just Silver. He is a fledgling of mine. We can face him.' Siete had just begun to turn around when Mel grasped his thigh as hard as she could, making him wince from its strength.

Mel turned to him with wide eyes, which surprisingly were filled with what appeared to be fear. 'No. If he is YOUR fledgling, then I can't take the chance of him recognizing me. Do you not remember me saving one of your fledglings the day after you changed him?'

Eyes closing slightly, Siete nodded solemnly. 'But if you suddenly disappear all of a sudden, it will raise even more questions. So better to face him now than later, correct?' He smiled as he saw Mel's bottom lip jut out stubbornly and her eyebrows furrow, realizing he had a very valid point and knowing she could not dispute it.

She turned toward her fledgling and gave him puppy dog eyes, praying that he would rethink the decision he had just made, but knowing him, figured he would not. 'But Siete – '

'No BUTS! Just trust me on this. He will be shocked and instantly start questioning you, but you can always tell him to quit and that he's being rude. If there's one thing he hates it's to be rude to someone.' The smile he gave Mel was one of assurance and trust making her finally cave in and mouth the word 'okay'. Slowly, both began to rise signally to Silver to get ready to speak. He stood only to fall back down when the woman faced him.

"Y-You!" His eyes were wide and he stared at her for the longest time. He then switched his shock to anger and directed it toward Siete. "You asshole! You fucking lied to me! I expected you of all people to tell the truth, no matter what." By this point, Silver was gripping his friend's disheveled collar, teeth gritting in anger.

Mel instantly put a calming hand on the man's right shoulder and the other on Siete's chest, attempting to push the pair apart without too much force. The anger within Silver was making him tremble, while Siete just watched as his fledgling glare daggers at him. Sighing, Silver dropped his hands and turned around, walking away while running his hands through his honey-streaked hair. Siete put his hands in his pockets and shifted his weight to his right foot, waiting for his friend to calm down some more. Mel on the other hand watched in a bit of amusement, until he turned around and looked her dead in the eyes. The expression of wonder that was spread across his face took her breath away, causing her to blush and turn her head to the side. Siete cocked his eyebrow at the sudden movement as he glanced toward the girl. He silently pondered what could be going on in that pretty little head of hers.

Silver looks at the turned face and decides to finally get the real conversation going. Standing up straight, he walked over to the mysterious girl and gazed down at her slightly red face. "I do remember you by the way." Closing distance between his and the shorter being's face, Silver continued, "Though my only question is, how can it even be possible that you are alive? You only looked nine-years old when I last saw you." Mel's original blush had spread to encompassing redness from the 2339-year old coming ever so closer in the past minute.

Backing away, she laughed nervously and simply put her hands in defeat. Siete came up behind her, which made her jump, realizing she was getting dangerously close to the edge of the cliff. "Ahem. I can not answer that question at the moment." Smiling cheesy-like she started to walk toward the path behind Silver, but he stepped in the way, determined not to let her escape his line of questioning. "Let's just say I'm an old friend of Siete's." Taking another leap for freedom, she bolted towards the path. Unfortunately, she underestimated Silver's reflexes as he caught her around the waist with his left arm. Siete, watching the scene unfolding in front of him, sits down at the cliff's edge and chuckles lightly.

Holding her against himself as she struggled, Silver continued his interrogation. "If you a friend as you say you are, there is no way you could be alive without being a vampire. But if you are a vampire, then you could not have aged. So what are you? For that matter, how old are you?" Looking down at the five-foot, squirming girl he waited for the answer.

Knowing that Silver would not let her go until she answered, Mel stopped squirming. Looking up to Siete, who was just quietly laughing she scowled then plainly answered, "For one, there is no way in hell that I would ever tell you a damn thing. Plus, it's rude to ask a woman her age. Didn't your mother teach you anything?" Smirking she knew she hit a nerve. Silver's eyes widened and his grip loosened enough for her to pull away and look back at him. Smiling, she clasped both her hands behind her back and rocked back and forth on her heels in triumph.

Silver then fixed his gaze on her happy face, deciding to not give up. "Well then woman, I'll just take the information from you." Siete discerned what was about to happen, but was unable to stop it. Silver focused his mind's energy and attempted to break into Mel's mind by force. Unfortunately, it backfired. Instantly, he fell to his knees and Mel was immersed in his memories and thoughts. Siete just sat back as Mel went through the tortured memories of a soldier that Siete had seen when drinking Silver's blood. She released the Macedonian soldier and immediately he was on guard. "What in God's name are you? Who are you?" He questioned, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

Mel took a step back with a hurt look in her eyes. Deciding to try to lighten the mood, she grinned saying, "That is for me to know and you to never find out." Siete, who was afraid things would turn for the worst, decided to stand by Mel, an act of trust, but also showing she wasn't some demon that they should be afraid of.

Putting his arm around Mel, he looked toward Silver and smiled. 'Silver, please don't be afraid. She's not a bad person. Nor is she a monster. Just give her a chance to be your friend.' Silver still looked at the pair with all cautiousness about him. He slowly stood again, watching as Mel smiled gently, thinking to himself how gorgeous a warm smile like that was. Mentally he slapped himself for thinking something like that after what had just happened.

Several minutes of silence passed, both sides just staring at each other, until she could no longer stand it. Mel burst, stepping forward and grinning like a fool. "Can we please keep talking? Or even do something? Cause I can't stand awkward silence at all!" Both men watched the energetic girl twirl with her last sentence. Siete looked to Silver, who seemed to be dazed with the twirling.

"Hey. Silver. Silver!" Finally obtaining the attention of his fledgling, Siete began his little lecture. "I want you to listen to me. That girl right there is special. More than you can even imagine. Don't treat her like she is some kind of outcast, it will come back to haunt you if you do. Also…" Siete turned toward Silver and narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "I don't want you to get any ideas about her."

Scoffing, Silver smirked and coolly responded, "What made you think I would get any ideas about her? Though I do not see why you would have a problem with it, you know I prefer to feed than pursue romance. Plus, I haven't dated in decades. So knock off the lecture please. They do get old." He knew Siete would never forgive him if he went after the girl quickly approaching, but for some odd reason his mind wandered to her any chance it had now.

Mel appeared to the side of both guys, unaware of their recent conversation. "You know, since we're all awake and the sun has already risen, why don't we go do something?" Looking to Siete for support, she puffed out her lip in a begging way.

"Eh, what would we do anyways? It's about twenty-five minutes past dawn and there isn't much we can do on the Pacific coast that we haven't done already." Mel's expression looked as if she was going to sew Siete's mouth shut from the comment while Silver laughed at how Siete seemed to treat Mel. It was like watching a brother and sister go at it.

"Oi, Silver! What's so funny? Something you want to say!" Mel shouted at him and he backed away grinning. For him it felt natural to be around her, to laugh with her. Siete watched Silver's face change from solemn to a true smile, something he hadn't seen in centuries. His eyes narrowed, disliking how things were going, but yet unable to stop them without being suspicious. Plus, he figured if she chewed Silver out for laughing, Mel would do much worse for attempting to prevent flirtatious behavior. All of a sudden, Mel clapped her hands together. "I've got an idea! Since we still have maybe a couple hours till it becomes warmer, we should go eat somewhere. Before you object, I know you guys do not eat but still, it kills time for my REAL plan."

Both men appraised the raven-haired girl, wondering what she truly wanted to do. Unfortunately, Siete knew he wouldn't be able to go. 'Still, if I leave… No matter what I can't stay. Damn.' Hugging Mel tightly, he smiled meekly, instantly showing that he wasn't going to be able to go. "I'm sorry, Mel. It's unfortunate but I have items that need taken care of which cannot wait. Maybe next time?" Mel spun on her heels, glaring daggers at him.

"Siete! Why? What is more important than spending time with friends? Come on tell me. You need to learn to trust me." Silver watched as Mel wagged a finger in his face, chastising him and acting more like a parent than a friend. It was as if she was more family to him than friend. The thought of someone being related to Siete was unfathomable but nonetheless funny to picture. Turning back towards Silver, the garnet eyes met black once more. "Silver, you'll come won't you?" The smile on her face seemed so sweet but both men knew what would happen if he denied the request.

"Sure. It's only going to a restaurant right?" Laughing hesitantly, he let his gaze fall on Siete. His face was that of pure distrust. This was a side of Siete he had never seen before. It was almost… hostile. Shaking it off as Mel grabbed his arm, he looked down towards the girl. She was so beautiful. Like something he had never seen before, so exotic. That's probably the reason Siete didn't want her anywhere near him. Looking back to where Siete was, he found that the vampire had disappeared, probably in a sour mood.

Appearing very pleased with her current company, Mel turned her attention to Silver. "Since we're going to a place you probably don't know, I will let you into my memories." At this statement, Silver snapped back to the smiling girl's face in astonishment. When he attempted earlier, everything backfired. Did she actually trust him already? "But, if you attempt to go any deeper than I allow, I will force you out and never trust you again. Got it?" Question answered, he was amazed at how Mel could say that while smiling so innocently.

"Yes, I get it. Now, how about that breakfast?" After Mel nodded in approval, he began gathering up his courage to dive into her memories, knowing this was a crucial point. Silver dove into her mind, surprised to find it very relaxing as he was guided through the halls of her memories. Reaching the destination, he was able to see the place she wished to go. Careful not to disturb any other part of the mind, he left, though curious as to the dark memories that seemed to be stored in the back. "Alright, let's go.

Wailuku, HI
Tasty Crust Restaurant

Both arrived outside an old-looking building, something that had obviously withstood the stand of time. The roof was flat and the diner sign was out. Most of the surrounding area was either residential or other old businesses. The parking lot extended from the front and wrapped around the back to end on the right side. Still it was quaint and kind of refreshing for Silver. Upon entering, everyone greeted Mel with a smile and said nothing of her new friend. She sat down at in an empty booth, Silver following to the opposite side.

"Okay, so the best dish here is pancakes!! They are so delicious! On top of that, you get Spam, bacon, or whatever side you choose. So what'll you have?" Mel looked up to her companion from across the table, hoping he would choose soon considering how hungry she actually was. His eyes were definitely filled with wisdom but also a kind of curiosity one wouldn't usually find it a vampire this old. Her eyes closed then opened slightly, hands intertwined, and elbows propping her arms up. Silver noticed this action, wondering was she was thinking about. Awkward silence just hung in the air while he stared at her. Finally the waitress appeared to take their orders, Mel ordering 2 pancakes and Spam while Silver just decided to go with a small stack of pancakes.

They both ate and joked, feeling completely safe with each other. Silver, though relaxed had this nagging thought that was tugging at the back of his mind. 'Why had Siete said she was special? What could they be hiding?' His eyes filled with confusion causing Mel to stop talking mid-sentence about her journey in Iao Valley and to start worrying about her new friend.

Mel reached across the table and lightly touched his right forearm. Silver's burdened eyes fell down to the touch waking him from his trance. Nearly finished, Mel asked for the check and stole a glance outside. Her companion's eyes followed to see the sun rising to forty-five degrees from the horizon. Smiling the crimson-eyed girl turned back to her friend, ready for the real day to start. "So, now that we've eaten and the sun is up, I'll tell you what my real plan is." The evil smirk that spread across her face was oddly scaring the man who sat before her.

Kihei, HI

It had been twenty minutes since the pair had been at the restaurant then to the girl's house. The home had been completely dark, except for the landing, which was an orange glow from the rising sun. The marble floor was cold before the raised wooden floor, cold enough that Silver decided to take Mel up on her offer for using the slippers instead of just his socks. He left his shoes next to all the rest of hers, a traditional Japanese style. She ran up her stairs and had begun to furiously rummage through her drawer while her guest simply took a seat on her beige couch, making himself right at home. Ten minutes later, she came down the stairs with a pair of white and blue, Quiksilver board shorts in her left hand while she was wearing a white camisole over a crimson and white bikini top accompanied by matching shorts and flip-flops. Her long, raven hair was pulled into a tight braid that went to the bottom of her shoulders. She tossed him the shorts and had ordered him to put them on. Of course he contested at first but after Mel threatened to do it, he took a mad dash for the bathroom to change. As he had come down the stairs she was waiting on the landing, keys to her black 2008 Honda Accord with red tinted windows and underglow dangling from her petite hand. Silver had laughed at the prospect of riding in a car and was about to decline when she had grabbed his arm to drag him out. After they got in the car, Mel blasted her car stereo with assortments of music ranging from "Your Body" by Pretty Ricky to "Best Friend" by Aqua. Finally, the pair had reached their destination. The beach.

She ran down to water in an instant, only to come running back out the next from how cold it still was. Silver on the other hand, grabbed the towels and slowly made his way onto the sandy beach running along side South Kihei Rd. So far the beach was empty except for the few local fisherman who preferred to fish in the morning.

"Silver, why don't you go in?" The suggestion she made while taking one of the towels was more of dare considering that she knew how cold it was and that no normal person would take it. 'Though, he isn't exactly the definition of normal.' Unfortunately Silver merely shook his head and laughed as she pouted. Taking off her white cami and throwing it aside, Mel plopped down on the almost high-tide beach, digging her heels into the warm, soft sand. It was a perfect day to be at the beach. No clouds, no wind, and no tourists (yet). Looking out over the water, the sun seemed to intensive the glistening water's beauty. Sighing, Mel patted the sand beside her, inviting Silver to the empty seat.

Taking the invitation, the 22-year old looking man sat down. As soon as he had though, he was tackled into a laying position from the girl beside him. The surprise had caused him to take an unusual reaction – a sharp intake of air. Mel was above him, propped up by straight arms, her petite mouth curved in an affectionate way. Her braid spilled over her left shoulder, dangling right next to the man's face. The crimson eyes she was gifted with glistened from excitement and curiosity. She was the embodiment of a goddess. On top of that, the lust was killing him. If he knew there wouldn't be any consequences, Silver would have brought her into a blissful kiss. Immediately, Siete's words rang clear in his mind.'I don't want you getting any ideas about her.' His happy eyes and expression fell to that of grim.

Mel looked down into his features and puffed her lip out once more. "First of all, thank you for coming. It makes me happy. Second of all, most people at the beach actually try and have fun. You though are just stone faced. Lighten up 'kay?" Her radiant smile shone down at him as he lay there. Nodding, Silver watched as she moved from above him and lay back down on the sand, staring up at the sky above. His short, blonde-streaked hair tilted slightly back as the back of his head fell into his hands. Out of the corner of her eye Mel was watching the whole thing. A small blush crept over her tan cheeks as she gazed from his head down to his chest to his abdomen. While it may not have been tan, the body of the man next to her was extremely sculpted. Averting her gaze as Silver's black eyes met hers, the 17-year old looking girl slowly began to calm her fluttering heart.

After an hour of the pair lying on the beach and shooting jokes at one another, the tide had crept up enough so the next big wave that came down crashed upon the two friends. Coughing from the sudden rush of seawater, both sat up and moved their belongings up to higher ground. Turning to face the water, Mel tucked a lock of wet hair behind her left ear, captivated by how quick the tide had come in.

Silver's cool voice slid into Mel's mind without resistance. 'You know, we should go in before low tide comes. That way we won't be too far from our things in case we need to hurry back quickly.' Without warning, her companion's left arm slid around her torso and his right under her knees, lifting her up. Smirking down at her, Silver jumped from the small dune they were perched upon into the luke-warm water and ran full force into an oncoming wave. The instant change in temperature evoked a scream out of Mel and a large shiver up Silver's spine, causing him to almost drop his newfound crush into the sea. After the wave had gone by, the water level sat right around his waist.

Mel's previous blush that had faded away now returned full-blast. Though he had no heartbeat, being near him made Mel feel safe and well… warm. Waves splashed against her left side as Silver continued to hold her halfway out of the water. The petite girl observed how strong his grip was as he continued to wade deeper into the water and how cut his biceps and pecs were. This thought alone caused her to blush even more, drawing attention from the man she was with.

Finally, she gained enough confidence to breath words through her lips again. "I – I think I can stand on my own." Even though she wanted her voice to come out confident and commanding, being this close to him caused it to come out meek and just above a whisper. Silver looked down at her with a smirk, infuriating her that he was causing her to feel this way, and gently let her down in front of him. The rest of Mel's body quickly accustomed to the change and her toes dug into the soft sand below.

"You know, it's alright if you're scared to go any further." Silver watched as his teasing comment caused the girl in front of him to spin around with a taken aback look upon her face.

"You have got to be kidding. Me? Afraid to go any deeper? Let's see who's afraid." To his dismay, a sneer appeared on her face in place of the old one and she dunked under the water, only for him to feel her push off in the direction he was looking. His eyes began to search the surface for any sign of her, but nothing came.

'She'll surface soon. No human can hold their breath for that long.' Silver made sure he moved up with each passing way, in order to keep contact with the sea.

One minute.

The vampire's eyes filled with worry since Mel still hadn't surfaced yet. He started to dart his head from left to right, his ancient head filling with images of the worst possible scenarios.

Two minutes.

"Mel! Mel! Where are you? I don't like to play games!" The panic in his strained voice could be heard down the beach, which drew people to start to walk towards the area in curiosity.

Three minutes.

Two slender, tan arms circled around the frightened man's torso. Right after, a wet slender body was felt on Silver's back. His anger dissipated instantly, but the panic inside of him stayed.

"I should tell you, I like to play games with people. Not normally like this, but I couldn't resist." Her lips had moved right next to his ear as she whispered, taunting and teasing him. Silver, unfortunately for her, was unaffected and turned to face her with cold eyes. Mel's smile disappeared as he met her eyes, her body filling with emptiness. The people on the beach, seeing the commotion was over, went back to what they were doing before. Cringing under his stare, she slowly began to back away, her own eyes filled with regret. "Sorry, I thought you would take it differently."

"How was I supposed to take it? With a smile maybe? No. How would you take it?" In that instant, he ducked under water and pushed off away from her. Realizing what he was going to attempt to do, Mel started to scan the water for movement besides from the waves. Not seeing any, she stood, arms crossed and a fake smile across her face.

"Silver, I can wait all day. I know you don't have it in you to stay down there all the time. So yes, I learned my lesson. Now will you please just surface so I can apologize?" The words were yelled out to the surrounding sea, but to no avail. Nothing came up or even made a sign of life. All the sea was calm.

Onshore

Silver had not wished to actually swim around for five minutes so he simply disappeared to above the sand dune area where there stuff was. Of course Mel hadn't seen him so she was still looking around the ocean waiting for him to pop up. The man in the shadows surprisingly was emotionally hurt by what she had done but rather, amused that she could have done that to someone who is usually as calm as him.

'Let's see… it's been four minutes already. In one more she should be freaking out and then I'll surprise her.'

Offshore

'FIVE MINUTES!! IT'S BEEN FIVE FREAKIN' MINUTES!! No one can stay under that long. Except for her… but she don't count. What if… what if he's hurt? Oh my god what should I do?!' Mel had been diving in and out of the water to try and find Silver for two minutes now. Yet, there was no sign of him whatsoever. 'It's like he disappeared completely…' Her crimson eyes widened, realizing what had happened. Closing her eyes, she reached out, attempting to find his aura.

Before she was able to locate him, she was pulled underwater. Mel shut her eyes as she was drug further out to sea, but only enough so she couldn't touch the bottom. Taking a chance, she peeked open one eye only to see two black eyes laughing at her. Gasping, she let out all her air and almost swallowing seawater. Silver's eyes bulged as he saw the last of her breath go. Releasing her foot, he grabbed her waist and darted both of them up to the surface. Gasping for breath, Mel glared at her captor.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? I COULD HAVE DIED!! I MEAN – "

"So now you know how I felt. If something had happened, I would have died… well figuratively died. So do you think playing games is still fun?" His cocky smirk caught the shorter girl off guard. Treading water, all she could do was stare at one of the few men who had made her blush.

'Did he do this out of spite? Or… was it to tease me?' A genuine smile spread across the girl's face. "There is no way I'm done with teasing." Swimming closer to him, her innocent smile turned into a smirk. "At least, not totally done." She kissed his cheek and began to swim back to shore, only to stop and look over her shoulder at him. Realizing the invitation to play more, Silver followed.

Las Noches

After the twelve-hour day, the two people appeared in the loud nightclub laughing, fully dressed. Jager looked up towards the pair, away from Fala, who was currently twirling her hair around her left hands' index finger. Half of the club's attention also diverted to the pair, mostly because of how lively they seemed. The unknown girl stood there, in the arms of Silver, a wide grin spread across her face. She had never actually set foot in the building known as Las Noches.

Silver on the other hand, being a regular, guided her to Jager's table. As she sat down, Fala looked her up and down, turning her lips into a snarl by the time she was done. What she assumed was competition wore tight, black cargo pants; knee-high, black, leather stiletto boots; silver, hoops earrings; and a beige, silk, backless halter-top. Her raven-hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail, exposing her perfectly tan back and tattoo in the nook of her lower back. Silver, who a girl across the room was admiring slightly, had on a pair of off-white, khaki pants; a matching jacket, which by this time was slung over the back of his chair; a charcoal, button-up shirt; and a pair of black, dress shoes. Jager, at the appearance of his friend and companion, motioned for a round of drinks from a nearby waitress who immediately went to grab them.

"So Silver, who is this elegant young woman you have with you tonight?" Mel smiled at the compliment while Fala's body filled with tension. Jager's semi-pale skin let on he hadn't fed in a while making Silver wary of Jager's flirtatious attitude.

"She is a friend. Why? Is there something you wish from her?" Silver, who was getting defensive, leaned in closer to Mel, hoping to protect her from what Jager would try. However, the jealous Fala instantly offered her wrist up to the man who changed her. Jager, smiled but pushed her arm away gently, refusing.

"No, nothing at all. Well, that is except to know her name." As he grinned, his fangs protruded, making for a very uneasy newcomer. Disguising her discomfort, the girl smiled warmly.

"My name is Melody but if you could, please call me Mel." Her hand had extended across the table to the older gentleman, who shook it firmly. Opening her eyes, she looked into his with kind of cockiness about her. "But tell me, what is your name?"

"Jager." Both heads turned toward the male voice that had spoken the name. Aubrey had come up behind Mel hoping to investigate the newcomer. "I'm Aubrey." Nodding his head over to the irritated and abandoned girl, he smirked. "And that over there is Jessica." Pulling up a chair, he spun it around so he could lean on the back. Just as he did, Mel's phone rang, playing the tune of "Get Low" by Flo Rida. Everyone's attention immediately snapped to Silver's guest, making her face turn pink and pull out her phone quickly.

Answering her red M500 from Sprint, Mel watched as all the vampires watched her closely. "Hello?"

"Mel? Where the FUCK were you today? We had DanceBlast practice hours ago!!" The familiar voice ranted.

Smiling peacefully, Mel replied, "Well Beckz, this is my first miss so it's not that big of a deal. Plus, I'm out right now so I can't ta-" A hand from across the table snatched the phone, bringing it to his ear.

"Bekz is it? How are you?" Jager once again smiled his toothy grin. Mel, almost lunging across the table, would have stopped him if it had not been for Silver's strong-arms that hade circled around her waist. The slick man tossed the phone to Aubrey, who had begun to taunt Mel's cousin relentlessly. Squirming in his grasp, the raven-haired girl was still trying to desperately to retrieve her phone. At last, Silver picked her up bridal style and moved her away from the laughing group, hoping to get her mind off of her possession.

"What are you doing? That's my cell! Let me go!" However, the more Mel struggled against him, the harder he held her. Finally, they reached the dance floor and he let her feet down but kept her torso in his grip. As he suspected, the instant her feet touched the ground she attempted to bolt towards her phone. Unfortunately for her, he still held her fast.

He bent down and whispered in her ear, "Stop fussing so much. It's just a phone. Now dance with me." A shiver shot down Mel's spine but she was surprisingly calmed. She pondered for a second before she felt her companion start to move behind her. Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop the Music" began to pump out of the stereos in the room as the mysterious girl began to move her hips to beat. Slowly, Silver's hands slid to the fluid hips, which caused Mel to place hers on top of his, and both their bodies moved as one. The continually rising heart rate of the girl in front of him was causing Silver's fangs to start to protrude. Not only did he lust to break the perfect skin of her neck, he wished for her to be with him. He lowered his neck to the girl's neck, her eyes widening as he did. Surprisingly, he did not sink his fangs into her neck but instead kissed the nape gently, still swaying on beat with the music. Mel's eyes clouded over at the touch, her lips separately slightly as she took in a small but sharp breath. They kept on this for a couple more minutes, until Silver had actually given her a hickey.

As Rihanna's song faded out, Britney Spear's "Radar" flooded their ears. Spinning around, Mel moved back a bit with a smirk and began to mouth the words of the song playing.

Confidence is a must

Cockiness is a plus

Edginess is a rush

Edges I like 'em rough

Walking forward with one step at a time, she slowly reached him and placed a hand on his left shoulder, her legs shoulder width apart. Her playful eyes gazed into his for a split second then her toes elevated her mouth right next to his ear.

A man with a Midas touch

Intoxicate me

I'm a lush

Stop you're making me blush

People are looking at us

Having moved fully around him back to her starting point, she turned her back to him and leaned against him. Her soft hand caressed his cheek and guided his face toward hers, which was gazing up at him longingly. They were in their own world.

I don't think you know (Know)

I'm checking you

So hot, so hot

Wonder if you know

You're on my radar

(On my radar)

On my radar

(On my radar)

And yep I notice you

I know it's you

Choose it, you don't wanna lose it

On my radar

(On my radar)

On my radar

Their lips were less than an inch away when they felt a new presence in the room. A powerful presence. Both looking up, they found a furious Siete glaring at his third fledgling. They also found every pair of eyes in the place was on the pair. Blushing, Mel smiled as she left Silver standing there, intently watching the man who decided to follow the girl back to her seat.

Instantly, Jager's voice entered Silver's head. 'What was that? Siete was infuriated at the sight of you two. I'm assuming that this is forbidden. I'll tell you Silver; you're going to regret it. Don't piss Siete off too much.' The elder vampire glared at the remark as he sat in his previous seat on the right of Mel while Siete had pulled up a new one on the left. Tension in the room was growing stronger by the minute.

Mel grabbed her cellphone back finally, stuffing it in her pockets. Glancing nervously from Silver to Siete and back, she hesitantly decided to speak. "Well, this was all good fun but I think it's time I get back home. I have plans tomorrow."

To her dismay, as soon as she stood, so did Siete. Putting his arm around her protectively, he began to walk her towards the door of Las Noches in silence. Most of the club had gone back to their activities with the music playing in the background. However, it still was eerily quiet for a Friday night. Mel looked over her shoulder at the table of observers and smiled meekly and her eyes filled with sadness at the fleeting image of Silver staring at her. As soon as Siete and her had exited the building she turned on him.

"What was that?! I happen to like him. Now I will tell you this once and ONLY once. He is the one I want and I will not have you stand in my way just because you are too damn overprotective!!" Her face was livid, her eyes also showing her rage.

The taller man grit his teeth and hesitantly nodded, not the least bit pleased. "Listen, if I back off, will you promise to come back next Friday? I think it would be better to come later like around 11pm. So will you?" Sincere eyes made Mel's heart melt slightly, but still she was angrier than usual. She really hated having people attempt to control her.

"Fine. But now, I'm going home and you wait outside so people think you took me home. Goodnight Siete." She spun on her heels and in an instant, disappeared. Sighing, Siete ran a worn hand through his black hair. Never had someone actually spoken to him like that… well besides his mother that is. Shaking off the strange feeling, Siete stuffed his hands into his black slacks and lean up against the outside wall of Las Noches, waiting for the right moment to re-enter.

Inside

Siete had just left the room and in less than a second the tension dropped immensely. All eyes at the table were on Silver. It was obvious that between Aubrey, Jager, Fala and a recently joined Rabe, Risika, and Jessica that they were all chatting within each other's minds. The scene that had just unfolded was definitely going to be the talk of the century. But what most people wondered was who the strange, crimson-eyed girl was. It was unusual for there to be newcomers that knew both Silver and Siete. In fact it wasn't just rare it was unheard of.

Five minutes had passed with minimal speaking then Siete came back in. He took his seat, pushing the now empty one in and ordered a Sex on the Beach. The cold black eyes bore into the round, black table they all sat around. When it seemed as if Siete was going to simply sit there, his gaze shifted to meet Silvers, eyes filled with rage. "Why did you do it? I specifically told you to stay away."

The shock at hearing the vampire's voice made everyone snap his or her heads up. That is except Silver. He had a glass of his favorite Disaronno on the rocks in his left hand and he just watched his elder. Finally, he put his glass down on the table and straightened his body. "Yes, well I wasn't the one who chose her. She chose me. Which right now, I really don't mind." The iciness of his voice was dangerously threatening.

Siete however, took a sip of his drink and then returned it full blast. "Be careful my fledgling, if you play with this type of fire, you'll end up more than burnt."
