heyy! this is my original story that I made up. Please read and enjoy!
Chapter 16
Dylan's P.O.V
I took Daphne's hand, her actual, physical hand. Months have I been dreaming of this, yes, I know it's weird but still, and finally, finally my dream has come true. It was a shocker to me when she had thrown her arms around me. I had actually been expecting her to laugh and shout, 'no' a gazillion times. I had expected her to break my heart, since that was what I had done to her. But instead...instead she hugged me. Hugged. What a strange world.
And it gets even stranger.
See, we were standing in line, waiting to get inside to see a twelve-year-old dancing sensation called Dancing Diamond or DD for short. It was cold, so to satisfy my heart, I pulled Daphne in closer for warmth. She blushed but didn't say anything and I let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, we got into the concert. Music was blaring and people were dancing. It was like a party-hall. The room was dark, with disco balls whirling around and around, casting multi-colours onto the walls, floors and dancers.
We made our way towards the middle of the dance floor, then began to let loose. The girls threw their arms in the air, shaking their hips from side to side, and shaking their heads to the beat of the music. I think the song was called Pokerface by Lady GaGa. The guys were jumping up and down, pushing each other, and fooling around. I smiled, finally happy.
The song changed, and so did the space between us. The song was now Dirty Dancingby New Kids on the Block. And what other kind of dance for this song is there, but dirty dancing?? The girls who already knew how (Daph, Lil and Bridge) began immediately, laughing but Izzie and Kairi kind of stood there, embarrassed. They had never done this in their life, I realized, laughing. How cute!
Finally, Jason and Seth settled for normal dancing. After all, they weren't the type of boys who were grinders anyway. Once again ,the song changed but this time, I didn't even acknowledge it. I was having too much of a time, finally being set free of my bratty sister.
Suddenly, the music stopped. Everyone turned towards the stage. An upbeat song popped up and everyone began screaming. Flames shot up from the stage and a smoky mist appeared. Then, a shadow came flying down, landing swiftly on the stage...and she began to sing.
My heart thudded faster and faster in my chest...and my mind swirled and swirled. No, no, no, no, no, no no.....The voice became familiar, and I dreaded to see the person who's voice it belonged to. Lights whirled around and around and finally landed on a single girl. Long, silky blonde hair, big gold eyes and a dazzling smile. Her dance moves were swift, just like how she was when she was a child....
"Cassi." I murmured, my world crashing and bursting into flames. It had been a while since I had seen her, but she had completely transformed. No longer a whiny, small child full of miseries and games, but a more matured, sophisticated, successful triple-threat. Singer, dancer and witch.
My friends turned to stare at me, then at Cassi and back at me.
"Oh." Daphne began.
"My." Bridgette added.
"Gawd." Lily finished.
"She's." Kairi gasped.
"your sister!" Isabella exclaimed.
I sighed. "Yeah."
As we had this discussion, Cassi continued to sing...and I knew the song. She loved this song and she always danced to it, since she could walk.
When I first saw you I knew nothing's like it used to be
Boy you have got to be the finest thing in history
The way I feel inside is just so hard to understand
You'd feed my appetite in ways I can't explain
I'll eat you up
(Your Love, Your Love)
I'll eat you up
(Your Love, Your Love)
(Woah)
I'll eat you up
(Woah)
So Yum Yum
(Woah)
Can't get enough
(Woah oh oh)
I think I'm in love
If you move any closer boy there is no guarantee
What I will do to you I fear it and it's scaring me
Like I've become some kind of demon in the night
You look so tasty I could eat you up alive
I'll eat you up
(Your Love, Your Love)
I'll eat you up
(Your Love, Your Love)

(Woah oh)
So yum yum
(Woah oh)
Can't get enough
(Woah oh oh oh)
I think I'm in love
Can't stop thinking 'bout the things I wanna do to you
If you move any closer you'd be asking for it too
I want your love
I need your touch
So much I think I'm in love (Woah oh...)
I'll eat you up
(Your Love, Your Love)
(Woah oh)
I'll eat you up
(Woah oh)

(I'll eat you up)
(I'll eat you up)
(I'll eat you up)
(I'll eat you up)
I had always thought this song was inappropriate for her. And I still think so. The song finished and she stopped dancing...like a star. She grinned then took a deep bow, before running off the stage, waving to her many fans.
"How many more songs?" Todd asked. "Before we could go find her backstage?"
More dancing songs came up for us as we waited for Cassi, or Dancing Diamond, to change. But we were no longer in the mood. I had found my sister.
"I didn't realize...I've had her CD for a million years!" Daphne cried, exasperated.
A song I knew well from Cassi's favourites, Untouched, came up and she once again appeared, singing and dancing to this song. She was amazing, her footstep in perfect rhythm and her arms moving to match the tempo. She was amazing.
I felt a warm feeling flow through my body and I realized that it was pride. I was very proud of my baby sister, who made something of her life, instead of being a snobby old brat. And she was only twelve. Just think of her future!
I wished that my parents could be here to see her, working yet enjoying herself up on stage. She had always been carefree and loved to perform. Why hadn't I thought of this before? Of course this was her dream! And being part of our family, having our genes, of course she was going to fulfill it! Didn't I just fulfill one of mine earlier tonight? It seemed like a million light years away, even though it was probably only half an hour before...
I tried to let the idea loose and tried to enjoy myself. We'll deal with this later...
Daphne's P.O.V
Time passes quickly. Just a moment ago, we had found out that Dylan's sister, Cassi, was up on stage, singing and dancing as Dancing Diamond. I felt so stupid. Her voice was a softer, female version of Dylan's, and she had his eyes and lighter hair. Her smile resembled his, and her radiance...her sparkle...How couldn't I have known?
I watched as emotions passed over Dylan's eyes as we made our way down the quiet hall towards Cassi's changing room. First, it had been anger, then excitement, confusion, agony, then happiness...It kept changing...
I took his hand slowly, looking into his face for reassurance. "It'll be ok...She's your sister...you guys have a bond. Like Brie and I." I whispered softly, smiling.
He squeezed my hand gently and said, "I know...I guess I'm just nervous. Haven't been much of a brother to her...and suddenly, she's famous."
"You haven't had the chance...lots of things have happened this year...and you can't blame it all on yourself." I told him.
He nodded. "Ok."
Finally, we ended up at her door. There was a huge, golden star on it, with a name at the bottom. Dancing Diamond.
"Do we all have to go inside?" Lily wondered out loud.
"No. I'll stay outside...who's with me?" Isabella asked.
Everyone but Dylan and I, raised their hands.
"Ok..." Dylan let out a deep breath. I had not known that he was holding one. "Let's go."
I slowly knocked. Once. Twice. A third time.
"Yes?" Came a small voice from inside.
"May we come in? It's...extremely important." I asked, knowing that she would not know my voice.
"Umm....sure? Who are you?" She questioned, her voice louder now that she was closer.
"Daphne Nelson...and friends." I replied.
"Ok. Come in." She called.
"Once this is all settled, I should really talk to her about Stranger Danger." Dylan muttered.
I pushed open the door and stepped into a vibrantly decorated room. The walls and ceiling were pink, with white borders. Her makeup desk was also white. There were rows of racks that held loads of multi-coloured clothing. Cassi sat at her make-up desk, in a bathrobe. She was applying something to her face...and I could only guess that it was a kind of lotion.
Dylan slowly closed the door behind him then faced her. "Cassi."
She slowly turned around, her face pale. "D-Dylan...." Her hand reached under the desk and we heard a click. Suddenly, an alarm came on and we heard running footsteps.
The door flew opened and two huge bodyguards appeared, grabbing onto Dylan and I. I struggled against the man's strong grip, and nearly punched him out. I kinda forget my strength sometimes now that I'm a vampire... "Opps! Oh my gosh! I'm soooooooooo sorry!" I apologized quickly, shame flushing through my skin. My face went bright red.
"LET GO OF ME! LET GO!" Dylan shouted, creating a racket.
Cassi's look of pleasure slowly changed into guilt and she drooped in her seat, muttering, "Let him go. Go stand outside. And thanks."
They released Dylan immediately and left the room, closing the door.
Dylan brushed himself off then turned to look at Cassi.
She stared back, her guilty face changing into a poker face. Emotion could not be read from her face, or her movements, not even her eyes. It was all blank. Scary for a little girl.
"Cassi..." Dylan began once more. He took a step towards her, his hand outreached, but then letting it drop, knowing it was not helpful. "Cassi, I..."
"Go away." She murmured. "I've put Ivylonia behind me now. I don't belong there. I belong here. As Dancing Diamond! I don't want to talk to you!"
"Cassi..." Dylan seriously couldn't think of anything else to say but Cassi? I rolled my eyes.
"I know what your going to say. 'You have to come home, now! What you did was horrible...blah blah blah'. I don't want to hear it!" She cried.
In one swift move, she was in his arms. "Cassi...I'm sorry. That's what I was going to say." He murmured into her golden locks. "I'm sorry for not treating you well, for ignoring you and for not being a good brother. I'm sooo sorry."
After a moment, he let her go. "You...you have a choice....Monica's ruining Ivylonia. She's building up an army to take over other planets, claim them as her own...she's becoming evil...and she's not even suppose to be Queen. You are. Earth is where she's heading now. This place. Full of innocent people, who have nothing to protect themselves....Cassi...it's your choice. Come back, fight with us and claim your spot or...watch as our worlds, both, are destroyed."
"Dylan...lemme think about it. Monica's not a bad person...she can...she can be a really great Queen. I belong here. I don't want all that responsibilites....I want to be me...and Dancing Diamond. Ok?" Cassi sighed, sitting down. "Leave me be."
Dylan nodded sadly. "Fine. But find us if you change your mind. Bye, Cass. Have fun and take care of yourself." He gave her a quick peck on the cheek, then took my hand and we headed for the door.
"OH and by the way, your girlfriend is really pretty." She winked at her brother and he smiled sweetly down at her. I blushed then murmured, "Thanks. I loved your show."
We left the room, then smiled at our friends waiting outside. "Let's go."
They smiled and followed us on the way out.
"Oh, and guys, you can come and stay at my parent's apartment. They have one close by here, so that they can escape all of Ivylonia and its problems..." Dylan explained.
"Sure." Jonah agreed.
"Just let us get our stuff from Daph's house." Jason added.
"Ugh...I'm sooo tired!" Todd exclaimed.
I smiled...then led the way back to my house...thinking about Cassi and her lifestyle. How could she leave everything she knew and loved behind? Just like that? Could...could I do that too? When it's time for me to return to Vampiria???
Then, I remembered that I still had to ask my parents about how they got me....
No one's P.O.V
The young man screamed angrily as he realized he was too late. "NO! NO NO NO NO!" He cried, frustratingly. "They ditched on me. Stupid Aaron. Probably spilled."
Alex looked around and up at the moon. It was beautiful from the girls' roof, and for a moment, he thought of home...how far and yet so close it was from here....About the darkness and yet its brilliance...his home...
"I'll get them. I will get them. Even if I have to stay here for a million years!" He exagerated and dissapeared into the shadows...
...just like that.
thats it. I was gonna add another part...but ill save that for another time. Thanks for reading and please review!!
