Disclaimer- I do not own the House of night series…

Claimer- I do own Mickey and some other characters…

MPOV…

Frost. What a weird boy. I mean he was normal and everything, I just didn't get the weird feeling I got from him.

I don't know.

But on the plus side I now had Luck. He was the kitten who adopted me. And he was one weird cat too.

He liked to sit on my shoulder and be up in high places. Sometimes he even tries to sit on my head. Like I said, he was very weird.

I was lying with him right now waiting for the dark daughters ceremony to start. Zoey had picked out a black dress that went to bout my mid thigh (too short if you ask me, but I didn't want to be rude) and black stalking that went to mid thigh too. The twins, Erin and Shaunee, gave me a pair of boots that went to my knee. I put on my hair up into a ponytail and called it good.

"Are you ready?" Zoey asked coming through the door.

"Yeah." I tried to act enthusiastic.

She smiled and led me to where the ritual was going to be held. Nala, Zoey's cat, was fallowing us and staring up at Luck like he was crazy… not that he wasn't though.

We walked across the campus to the mess hall and through the big doors. Everyone's eyes were on us as we came in. I heard faint whispers about my mark and people asking where I had gotten it. it made me self conscious.

"Don't worry." Zoey whispered to me as she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the center of the circle. I hadn't realized that I had stopped walking.

I noticed Frost and Aaron. I didn't really mind Frost, strange feeling and all, but Aaron. If he was in this club then I defiantly didn't want to be here you know. He was just a huge ass.

"Everyone." Zoey called the fledglings to attention. They got quiet. "I would like to introduce all of you to Mickey. She has now become one of the dark daughters. Please treat her with care." She gave a very overly beautiful smiled.

I looked around and saw that Erik, the twins, Damien, Jack, and Aphrodite all looking at me. I smiled at them and turned to Zoey.

"Thank you very much. It is a huge honor to be apart of the dark daughters." I smiled and gave the traditional salute that you do when you are in front of a high priestess or if you are in front of one in training.

I walked away from her and stood where the rest were standing.

"We will not be doing a purification ceremony today." Zoey announced which was met with a lot of questions and looks. "Instead we have Derek Cullen to perform for us." and that was met with cheers and whistle from a lot of girls. "We will all meet in the theater if you would like to join us."

Everyone filed out and ran to the theater room.

I took a b-line to the dorms but it was hopeless.

"Mickey!" Erin called.

"Come on!" Shaunee.

I huffed and followed them. Wherever Luck was, he was lucky.

I walked with the twins to the theater and sat in the front with Aphrodite and Zoey. I guess the twins, Damien, and Jack all had to do something back stage.

Then the curtains opened and my mouth dropped. I bet I was even drooling.

He was HOT! That didn't even explain how hot he was.

His hair was long and black; even though his hair was over his eyes you could clearly see his frosty blue eyes. He had snakebites and his outfit fit him so well. He was wearing skinny jeans and a black button up shirt with a red tie with black converse. He was the singer and he was holding a guitar. He was even wearing black eyeliner.

Like I said. HOT! No I take that back… he was HELLA HOT!

Then he opened his mouth and if I want drooling before and if my mouth wasn't open wide enough then I was and it is now.

(Anberlin- a day late.)

So let me get this straight
Say now you loved me all along
What made you hesitate
to tell me with words what you really feel?
I can see it in your eyes
you mean all of what you say
i remember so along ago, see I felt that same way
Now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
Insignificantly enough
we both have significant others

Only time will tell
Time will turn and tell

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
we are who, we are who we were when

Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

But thoughts they change
and times they rearrange
I don't know who you are anymore
Loves come and go and this I know
I'm not who you recall anymore
But i must confess
you're so much more than I remember
Can't help but entertain
these thoughts, thoughts of us together

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

My day late friend

So let me get this straight
All these years
and you were no where to be found
And now you want me for your own
But you're a day late
and my love, she's still renowned

I heard Zoey snicker next to me and saw Aphrodite hide a smile.

"I think I am in love." I whispered. That is when they both laughed.

"Don't even try, he doesn't date." A girl next to me sneered. "Even if he did he wouldn't date a freak like you."

"Uh-huh." I murmured not really caring what she said. I was to mesmerized.

Then the most embarrassing thing happened. He looked right at me. He caught me staring –more like goggling- at him. Oh my god but his eyes. You couldn't look away.

But then the unexpected happened. He smiled at me. I almost died. His smile was like… I had nothing because nothing could explain it.

The girl next to me whimpered then growled at me. I just smiled back at him. then he started to sing again.

(Anberlin- The feel good drag.)

"I'm here for you," she said
and we can stay for awhile,
my boyfriend's gone
we can just pretend.
Lips that need no introduction
Now who's the greater sin
Your drab eyes seem to invite
(tell me darling) Where do we begin.
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your lips, your lies, your lust
Like the devil's in your hands

Was this over before...
before it ever began?
Your kiss, your calls, your crutch
Like the devil's got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your lips, your lies, your lust
Like the devil's in your hands

Everyone in this town
is seeing somebody else
Everybody's tired of someone
our eyes wander for help
Prayers that need no answer now
I'm tired of who I am
You were my greatest mistake
I fell in love with your sin
Your littlest sin

Failure is your disease
You want my outline drawn
You were my greatest failure
Discourse your saving song

(This part would take place of the guitar solo)
Was this over before...
before it ever began?
Your kiss, your calls, your crutch
Like the devil's got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your lips, your lies, your lust
Like the devil's in your hands
(end solo)

Was this over before...
before it ever began?
Your kiss, your calls, your crutch
Like the devil's got your hand

"He is just to perfect!" I shouted when the curtains were close. I was glad that not many people heard me.

I really think that I was in love.

A/N: Sorry to the girls who don't like Emo/Rocker dudes, but I do, and sorry if you don't like Anberlin, but I do. Lol.
