I look at the ballroom in awe. The grand chandelier in the middle provides enough light everywhere in the ballroom. I look around and see the Prince in the middle under the chandelier. Karen, the school's queen bee and gorgeous girl is practically jumping on Xavier trying to give him some sort of drink. I chuckle, That so classic of her. I walk into the mist of girls and they freeze backing away as I come near the Prince. "Prince." I whisper in his ear as I pass by. He shivers and I smirk at the way I make him feel. I feel his staring eyes as I go to the bar and order a frozen straberry drink. I sip it as I stare at the Prince dancing with Karen but he's holding her at arm's length. Hahaha... I chuckle that really is funny considering she's the most beautiful girl in the school. A song with a more upbeat note to it. I set down my drink and head to the dance floor. I dance wildly not knowing that every man in the room is staring at me.

Xavier's P.O.V

I look at my watch and sigh. Its only 07:15. It has only been 15 minutes since I came here yet it feels already like 15 years. I look up at the doors in longing only to see the most beautiful woman I have seen. She stands at the stairs and starts going down the stairs like she floating. I growl mentally. Every man here is staring at her in awe and lust. She comes toward me and every girl freezes and backs away including the annoying girl who wants to give the same drink everytime. Wow. She has that kind of power. She would make a great queen. "Prince." The woman whispers and I shiver. She smirks knowing the affect she has on me. The mysterious intriguing woman sways her hips sexily as she walks toward the bar. I dance with the annoying girl only to look at the woman who's siping her drink while staring at me. Then a more upbeat song comes and I stop dancing and go to the bar and look back to the dance floor and see her dancing wildly putting her hands into the air. The song stops and I look to the stage. Ginerva is giving a speech.

Crystal's P.O.V

"Welcome suitors! I will only give a short speech and then show the clips. And which clips you ask? Well I will show you darkest secrets of each and everyone of the girls. Now. Enough talk. We will start with Lisa."

I don't pay attention but then Karens name is up. And I look at the screen.

Karen is on the phone talking to her mother. "Mom! We've been through this! I give the Prince his drink, he drinks it, we have mmm without the condom and once we find out I'm pregnant, I use the baby to blackmail him and then he will make me his princess! Done! Ok?" "Mm. Good. Bye Mother."

"Arggggghhh! Put on Crystal's clip! That goody to shoes must have some sort of dark secret!" Karen screams. I sigh and shake my head at her in a pitiful way.

Xavier's P.O.V.

Ahhhh. So thats the beauty's name. It suits her. I look to the screen. It shows her paying the woman 100 more dollars then she should. Wow. She is must very kind. Next, it shows her having a food fight with the chef and making food. Then a child comes and takes a brownie. "Boy! You shouldn't take something that you didn't make!" The chef says. The boy looks as of he is going to cry. The chef takes a threatning step toward the boy and Crystal goes in front of the boy staring the chef down. The chef whimpers before going back to work. Crystal picks up the boy and gives him another brownie before taking him back where he came from. I like her. She's good with kids. Crystal would be a great mother. And she's pure. As innocent as a flower any vampire can smell that.

Crystal's P.O.V

"Well off to bed everyone! Tomorrow is a new day and the competition is skating! The most graceful dancer of them all will be picked by a suitor to dinner! If the dancer is picked by multiple suitors then she will pick one of them. Now, out!" The headmistress said. I run out of the ballroom and run toward my room, my heels making noise in the empty corridors. I lock my door and slip off my dress. I put it in my closet and take out my crystals of my hair which I put there too. Then I slip under the covers of my bed and fall fast asleep.
