When Iliana walked into the room wearing a black veil and dress that would've rivalled one of the most ultimate Goth, the whole room stopped whatever they were doing. The silence in the room was probably the mildest reaction. Iliana scowled at everyone in the room and walked through in huge platform motorcycle boots with the same moody strut a model would've and not her usual perky skip. As soon as Iliana was out of the room everyone turned to each other and went, "What the..."

Iliana was not having the best of days and if she had her way a certain other person wouldn't either. Her new fashion choices were just a small representative of how she was feeling. After a certain incident the day before she was on the warpath and had dressed accordingly. The fact that the change of clothing was so dramatic wasn't all that Iliana had done, she had put a spell on herself (she hated dying her hair for real) that made her normally blonde hair flame red with blood red streaks and violet tips. She was also wearing huge black sunglasses to hide her eyes which were practically sparking with hatred and annoyance.

She stormed through the elegant corridors in Thierry's mansion and was about to reach the very place she was headed when she was stopped by David (Gillian's' soulmate). "Whoa, what happened?" David asked loudly, his jaw somewhere around about the floor.

"Move, David!" Iliana ordered.

"Tell me what's wrong." David said.

"You know I could do with some practice with my blue fire." Iliana growled.

David grimaced and said, "Go ahead and please don't break anything."

"No promises!" Iliana growled.

Turning her attention away from David she stared at the double doors ahead of her and they flung open as if struck by a tornado. "Nissa!" Iliana yelled. "Come out come out wherever you are!"

Nissa emerged from behind one of the stacks of books. "Oh..." Nissa said, barely stopping herself from swearing as she knew that the librarian's youngest daughter was around somewhere.

Iliana smiled and it was definitely not a nice smile, more the sort of smile a predator would get as it was about to strike its prey. "Sissy am I? No good piece of fluff? Less brains than a puffed up poodle? I am going to kill you Nissa!" Iliana shrieked and the heavens quaked.

"Now, now, just... just calm down okay." Nissa stammered.

"Calm DOWN?" Iliana shrieked even louder.

By this time Thierry and quite a few other daybreak members were gathering behind Iliana and just as Thierry asked what was going on Iliana shrieked wordlessly and a blast of pure magic threw Nissa out of the huge window behind her and Nissa fell three stories landing on her back on the grass next to a huge rose bush. When Nissa's vision cleared she thanked all the God's that she hadn't actually landed in the rose bush. Nissa looked up and couldn't believe her eyes. Iliana was floating out of the window and landed on the grass in front of Nissa with hardly a thud. Nissa tried to prop herself up and move away but she didn't get far before Iliana stopped her with a spell. Nissa used to think that nothing would ever scare her but the witch in front of her with the power of blue fire was enough to put enough fear in her to last her a lifetime and vampires lived very long lives. Before Iliana could do anything else Thierry landed cat like behind her and put a restraining hand on her shoulder.

"Iliana stop." Thierry softly said.

Iliana whirled around and whipped her sunglasses off so that she could stare at him straight in the face. "I don't want to hurt you Thierry." Iliana growled.

Thierry's eyes lit up and he looked Iliana right in the face as he commanded, "Sleep."

Iliana slumped forward and Thierry caught her. As she sunk quickly into the depths of sleep her hair turned back to blonde and the spell wore of Nissa. Nissa fell to the floor and could hardly believe her luck, or what had happened in the last five minutes. Thierry held Iliana in his arms and strode back to the doors with an instruction to Hannah to look after Nissa. He walked inside and towards the area that had been set aside for medical emergencies. He wasn't sure what it was but something was definitely not right. Iliana couldn't have just gone off the rails like that and he was determined to find out what it was that was wrong.

I know it's short but don't worry all will be revealed. Haha, and yes it does have something to do with Valentine's Day, don't worry a new chapter will be up soon :D
