Selene: It's nice you decided to entertain your sister with singing and dancing.
Me: It's something I love to do. I figured why not? Right?
Nick started the music again and I Knew You Were Trouble came on. I sang and danced. "Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago. I was in your sights. You got me alone. You found me. You found me. You found me. I guess you didn't care. And I guess I liked that. And when I fell hard, you took a step back. Without me. Without me. Without me.
And he's long gone. When he's next to me. And I realize, the blame is on me.
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in. So shame on me now. Flew me two places I've never been. Till you put me down. Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in. So shame on me now. Flew me two places I've never been. Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground! Oh! Oh! Trouble, trouble, trouble. Oh! Oh! Trouble, trouble, trouble.
No apologies. He'll never see you cry. Pretends he doesn't know, that he's the reason why. You're drowning. You're drowning. You're drowning. And I heard you moved on. From whispers on the street. A new notch in your belt. That's all I'll ever be. And now I see. Now I see. Now I see.
He was long gone. When he met me. And I realize, the joke is on me! Hey!
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in. So shame on me now. Flew me two places I've never been. Till you put me down. Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in. So shame on me now. Flew me two places I've never been. Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground! Oh! Oh! Trouble, trouble, trouble. Oh! Oh! Trouble, trouble, trouble.
When the saddest sphere, comes creeping in, that you never loved me, or her, or anyone, or anything! Yeah!
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in. So shame on me now. Flew me two places I've never been. Till you put me down. Oh, I knew you were trouble when you walked in. So shame on me now. Flew me two places I've never been. Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground! Oh! Oh! Trouble, trouble, trouble. Oh! Oh! Trouble, trouble, trouble.
I knew you were trouble when you walked in. Trouble, trouble, trouble. I knew you were trouble when you walked in. Trouble, trouble, trouble."
Eve clapped. "Yay!"
I giggled and started the next song which Mom had sung to me once. The next song after was 22 which I picked up Eve to dance with her.
"It feels like a perfect night. To dress up like hipsters. And make fun of our exes. Uh-huh, uh-huh. It feels like a perfect night. For breakfast at midnight. To fall in love with strangers. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah! We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical oh yeah! Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines. It's time. Uh-oh!
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22! Everything will be alright. If you keep me next to you! You don't know about me, but I'll bet you wanted to. Everything will be alright. If we just keep dancing like we're 22! 22!
It seems like one of those nights. This place is too crowded. Too many cool kids. Uh-huh, uh-huh. It seems like one of those nights. We ditch the whole scene. And end up dreaming. Instead of sleeping! Yeah! We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way. It's miserable and magical oh yeah! Tonight's the night when we forget about the hard breaks. It's time. Uh-oh!
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22! Everything will be alright. If you keep me next to you! You don't know about me, but I'll bet you wanted to. Everything will be alright. If we just keep dancing like we're 22! Uh-oh, uh-oh! 22! I don't know about you! 22! 22!
It feels like one of those nights. We ditch the whole scene. It feels like one of those nights. We won't be sleeping! It feels like one of those nights. You look like bad news! I gotta have you. I gotta have you! Ohoo...oooo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22! Everything will be alright. If you keep me next to you! You don't know about me, but I'll bet you wanted to. Everything will be alright. If we just keep dancing like we're 22! Oh, oh, oh, oh! 22! Tonight. 22! Yeah-e-yeah! 22!
It feels like one of those nights. We ditch the whole scene. It feels like one of those nights. We won't be sleeping! It feels like one of those nights. You look like bad news! I gotta have you. I gotta have YOU!"
Half way through the song, I sat Eve back down and danced with Nick. Eve laughed and clapped again. She seemed so into it. I think I will have to teach her to dance and teach her the words to the songs when she's older. Nick turned the music off and I sat down beside Eve on the bed. "I'm all worn out now!" I said panting.
She giggled and hugged me. Suddenly, the door bursts open. "Princess Elizabeth, you're needed in the death dealer meeting." Sorran said.
"Ok. I'll be there in a minute. Just let me put Eve to bed." I replied.
Sorran nodded and left. "I could watch her for a bit." Nick said.
"No. It's ok. She needs her sleep." I said. Eve yawned. I looked at her. "Tired, Little Sis?"
She nodded and closed her eyes. I walked her to the nursery and gently put her in her crib then turned her mobile on. She puckered her lips looking at me. I smiled and bent down to kiss her cheek. "Nite, Eve. I love you." I whispered softly. She closed her eyes again and fell asleep. I walked back to my room and gave Nick a quick kiss. "I'll be back after the meeting. Just do whatever until then." I told him. He nodded and I left to go to the meeting.
When I walked in, everyone looked at me. I sat down beside Mom. "Sorry I'm late." I whispered to her.
"It's ok. We waited for you." She whispered back. She nodded to Dad who began to talk.
"I called forth this meeting because I was just informed that there are street vampires roaming the city. There has been a report that they have killed many lycans and humans. Mostly humans. The report came from the subway station that Selene and I first met in. I am gonna need everyone to prowl the city station. Kill any vampires you see and protect the people. Selene, Elizabeth, and Myself will go to Raze and see if we can get help."
"Why don't you and Mom go. I'll help with the prowl. You know what happened last time I went down there and I am not facing them again." I said to him sternly.
"Alright, but stay with Kahn."
I nodded. "I will. Don't worry."
"Get ready and quickly. We leave in half an hour." Dad said.
Everyone nodded and we went our separate ways.
