Weeks passed too quickly. Everything was ready for the ball. There were over three hundred people coming. It's a good thing we lived in such a ginormous house or not everyone would have fit. Our dresses had already been picked out and the music was already selected. Bell was helping me get ready after she put Evangeline to sleep. She curled my hair and pinned it back. I wore a long emerald green dress and green flats. As soon as Bell was done helping me, I helped her with her hair. She wanted t curled even more than usual. Her red dress was beautiful on her. Dameon is going was going to love her.
"I guess he will," She chuckled "Skyler is going to love you."
I smiled but knew that wasn't true. He would be interested in the other hundreds of girls that would be there.
"He like you." She comforted me "He thinks about you all time and he was going to kiss you when I told you about the ball. He was upset because I ran in and stopped him."
I was suprised. I handed Bell's red shoes to her. I didn't believe her.
"How can you not believe the person who can read minds?" She questioned.
She had a point, but before I could argue, Skyler and Dameon walked through the door. They looked great in their tuxedos. Dameon took one look at Bell and smiled.
"You look sexy chi-chi." He laughed.
Chi-Chi? It must be a new nick name for Bell. She blushed. Skyler stood there, speechless.
"Hey." I greeted him.
"Um....." Was all he said.
"Um what?" I asked.
"Uh...Um..." He answered.
Dameon slapped him on back and he blurted the words out.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you." I giggled.
Did I really just giggle?
"Let's go ladies. We have a ball to attend." He said like a gentlemen.
He extended his arm and Bell took it. Skyler did the same and I took his. There were hundreds of people downstairs. All of them looked great. I saw Melinda talking to Elizabeth. Melinda was wearing a royal blue dress and her hair was in a braid. Elizabeth was wearing a silky silver dress and her blonde and red hair was in in a bun. Charolette was wearing a royal purple dress and her blonde hair was in a ponytail. I looked around for Neo. She was standing with Scott, the newest couple in our new family. She was wearing a black dress and her caramel brown hair was the same as it always was. Skyler walked away and Bell and Dameon were fighting about if she would dance or not. She didn't want looked over at me from across the room. I gave him a wink as I walked over to the rest of the girls. We were lucky to have such a large house, and a ball was the perfect way to celebrate our moving in. Ellie and Tristan were seated at the table on the other side of the dinning room, and the rest of us were only standing around waiting for something, anything to happen.
"No! No, no, no!" Bell said backing against the wall.
"Yes…" Dameon hissed seductively.
Suddenly Bell's eyes went blank. What…?
He beckoned for her to meet him in the center of the dance floor. Like a zombie, she sauntered over to him. He flicked his hand around his head and she twirled around him as if she was…
He pointed to Skyler to start some music. He gulped, but did so anyway. Bell stopped moving, and then the music began.
It was the Vitamin String Quartet's version of My Chemical Romance's "Helena."
I was shocked, Dameon never showed this side of himself. Scott and Skyler were shocked too.
"Careful, Bell! This is how the first one happened!" Mel shouted.
Dameon hissed at her, after all she had crossed the line. So, I decided to slap her.
"Do you have any idea how sore of a spot that is?!" I whispered.
"Sorry."
As the music began to intensify, their movements became more hard, strict, more lustful. He bent her over his knee and traced his fingers down her neck, he made her wrap her leg around his lower back. It was so gorgeous, it almost scared me. The most wonderful tango I had ever seen. He threw in some original tango movements and then it was over. Bell's pose was…strange, almost as if she was giving in to him. When she snapped out of it, her breathing became heavy.
"Never…again…" She breathed, laughing a little.
"I suppose you remember everything?"
"You know it." She replied punching him in the gut.
"Yeah but it was sexy." He coughed.
"Hush, Dameon, I don't want that kind of talk in front of the baby…" She smirked, placing a hand on her stomach.
She couldn't be…
She quickly walked over to me and whispered, "I'm not, I just want to make him feel bad."
What a cheeky woman. But that's why we loved her. Dameon looked horrified.
"Two kids before marriage? Nice job Dameon." Scott laughed, putting his arm around Neo's waist.
"Are you messing with me?" He asked, grabbing her arm.
"It was my turn." She said, glaring at him.
He sighed, "I guess it was…"
"Hey now…learn forgiveness and try to forget…" She smiled.
She whispered something into his ear, then he nodded.
Suddenly I was cast into a white room and Skyler was there as well.
We didn't speak to each other, we just danced. A waltz, nothing bold like Bell and Dameon's dance. I realized what was going on. Skyler and I weren't progressing in our relationship and this was Bell's way of helping me out. Skyler's eyes stood out from the rest of the room and I couldn't look away from him. We danced and danced and danced until Dameon and Bell brought us back to Earth. Everyone clapped for us, and then…Skyler kissed me. Heaven at last. I kissed him back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist. The first thing that I was going to do when I was done kissing him was run over and hug Bell and Dameon. When he did stop, depression filled me.
"I love you." He said to me.
"I love you too." I giggled.
He then walked away to talk to other people. I ran over to Bell and hugged her.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I yelled "That was beautiful! Thank you!"
She laughed and smiled. I ran over to Dameon and hugged him too.
"Thank you!" I yelled.
He laughed and hugged me back. I couldn't thank them enough. Skyler came back over to me and I hugged him. Everything was perfect, then everything went wrong. The door was kicked down and the door flew across the room. Thirty vampires walked through the door, followed by who I guessed was their leader. Bell, Melinda, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Neo, and I gasped. He had blood red hair and eyes to match. He looked directly at me then to all of of my friends. Bell and I exchanged glances.
"Well well well." He cackled "You girls survived?"
We were to frightened to do anything. The boys hissed at him. The first thing I though of was Evangeline.
"Go get her." Bell whispered to me "For me."
I snuck out of the madness and bolted upstairs. Evangeline was sleeping in her crib. I held her fragile body in my arms.
"I'm going to take you to your mommy." I whispered to this poor defenseless baby "You need to be quiet though or else they'll hear you."
She looked as if she understood me and that was enough for me. I snuck into the hallway and hid behind a pillar and listened to the cruel words of this murderer.
"What is your name?" Dameon hissed through his teeth.
The man just laughed.
"My name is Ash." He chuckled "I'm upset because I wasn't invited to this wonderful party. I figured that there must have been a mistake. Who could forget to invite me?"
"Leave." Scott snapped "Now."
Ash laughed harder. All this was doing was entertaining him.
"I came for something that belongs to me." He hissed manically "I believe the lovely Bell just had a brand new baby girl. Where is Evangeliene?"
"Get out!" Dameon snarled.
"You aren't going to cooperate? That's too bad." He mocked us "Alpha! Beta! Zeta! Lead the others in this attack. Find Evangeline!"
"Yes master!" They all hissed.
Soon there were screams. There were screams everywhere. Almost everyone fled the ball except for our family. Tristian and Ellie were fighting there hardest. Rae was fighting to. I came out from behind the pillar and threw a fire ball. When it hit ash I hid behind the pillar again. Then I felt what I had been needing to feel, my full power. Bell bolted next to me and I handed her Evangeline. I ran down the steps and whipped water at Ash. He hissed and then smiled.
"I remember you." He laughed, taking a step twoard me "You were the most fun to bite. Such a beautiful human. I was going to make you my mate. Sadly those fools interrupted me. Bell was going to be Beta's mate. It's too bad the two of you got away."
I stepped back. I had wondered why he had bitten me. I didn't like the reason. I didn't like it one bit. I now knew that I could control the elements but it felt as if I could do nothing. I looked over at my defenseless human friends. Each one had the mark. I screamed.
"Oh." He said, faking empathy "You didn't want them to be like you? That's too bad. I need your help. Can you help me find Evangeline?"
"No!" I hissed.
"That's too bad. You would have been a good mate. Such a waste." He sighed.
He came close, picked me up, and threw me across the room. Skyler growled and stabbed him in the chest with a piece of wood. He screeched then fell to the ground. He ran over to me and helped me up. I ran around, looking for Bell and Dameon. I ran to the baby's nursery. That's where they were. Evangeline was crying in her crib as her mother and father lay dead. I picked Evangeline up.
"NO!" I cried.
I couldn't stop the tears. I didn't even try to breathe. I gasped for air.
"Bell!" I yelled again "Dameon!"
Everyone ran upstairs. I fell to my knees. When Skyler, Scott, Tristian, Ellie, and Rae saw, they understood. Skyler took me into his arm and carried me to his room I held Evangeline close to me. Skyler explained that the others were in a different room changing into their vampire forms. He told me they had caught three vampires that coud become good. He layed with me as Evangeline and I cried ourselves onto a deep and dark slumber.
