Once Rick and Jace had completed a few songs, they decided to let the girls have a try.
"So girls, do you fancy having a small lesson on how to play?" Rick offered.
"That would be amazing!" Jessica finally spoke up.
He led her over to his drum set, with her seated and him stood behind her to guide her. I hung back waiting to see if Jace would speak to me.
I was surprised to see him looking straight at me again.
"So, how about you Isabelle?" He said, making my name sound smooth like honey.
"I'd love to, if you don't mind teaching me"
"Don't worry, it would be a pleasure" he said with a ghost of a smile back on his lips, almost as if he was trying to hide it.
I smiled back as he handed me his guitar and stood beside me to guide my movements.

**** Jace's P.O.V. ****

I hadn't known what to expect when the guys agreed to meet a couple of fans. When I first found out, I was worried that one of them would do something stupid to reveal us.
But as soon as the girls came through the doors, one of them caught my attention.
She had Beautiful long black hair with one side braided up which exposed her jawline and one side of her neck. She was wearing a gorgeous knee length black dress with long sleeves, fishnet tights and combat boots which seemed to go well together with the rest of her look. Her makeup was very minimal with only eyeliner visible.
I could hear them speaking but couldn't bring my eyes away from her.
I finally listened to what they were saying when she introduced herself.
"I'm Isabelle" she said, looking over to her friend before continuing "and this is Jessica".
As she looked back over at us, she finally noticed me looking at her and started blushing.
I found myself not being able to look away as we locked gazes, it was only once Rick began speaking that brought me out of my daze.
"So guys, I think we'll be splitting into two, as I think you girls would probably be more comfortable that way. Me and Jace will take care of Isabelle and Jessica whilst Callum and Ryan look after Georgina and Christine if everyone's ok with that?"

*Sounds good to me* I thought
+Someone taken your fancy?+ I heard Rick think.
>Ooh which one?< Callum added
-Didn't know Jace was capable of attraction- Ryan joked.
*I just think she's cute*
+But which one is it? It better not be Jess+
>Ooooh Drama<
*Relax, it's Isabelle. Anyway I call dibs on the music room*
>Fine but we get to choose what we watch later<
*Fine*

Isabelle, Jessica and I followed Rick into a separate room while the others went in the opposite direction.
The music room had a mini stage at one end with our instruments set out from after the show.
"I thought maybe you girls would like a more personal music session?" Rick offered as he headed over to the drums. I took the place at the front microphone, after picking up my guitar. We worked our way through a small set of songs that we knew would work with just us two.
Even from where I was, I could see that Jessica looked awestruck, she had her eyes glued on Rick as he played.
I took the chance to look over at Isabelle, only to find her already watching me. She seemed to look amazed as I was singing through one of the songs so I couldn't help but smirk. I quickly tried to hide it before she noticed but I got the feeling she'd already seen.

Part way through a song I heard Ricks thoughts,
+I might have an idea if you're up for it?+
*What's the plan?* I responded
+We could maybe try to teach them a little how to play,+
*Only if you teach Jessica as she seems to be enamoured by you*
+With pleasure, I already know you won't mind teaching Isabelle+
*Yeah yeah laugh it up, there's just something different there*
+Yeah, I know what you mean, I can sense something+
*Glad it's not just me*
Once we finished the song Rick spoke up.
"So girls, do you fancy having a small lesson on how to play?" Rick offered.
"That would be amazing!" Jessica finally spoke up.
He led her over to his drum set, with her seated and him stood behind her to guide her.
Isabelle seemed to hang back, almost waiting for me to make the first move.
"So, how about you Isabelle?" I said, looking straight at her.
"I'd love to, if you don't mind teaching me" She replied, looking nervous.
"Don't worry, it would be a pleasure" I said with a light smile to try and reassure her.
She smiled back as I handed her my guitar and stood beside her to guide her.
+You never trust anyone enough to touch your guitar, why her?+
*I don't know, there's just something about her*
+I was kidding, no need to explain+

I showed Isabelle where to put her fingers so that she could play a simple tune. Once she got the hang of it I joined in by singing. Rick got Jessica to add a beat to what we were playing before he joined me in singing.
Pretty soon we had a full song going and the girls seemed to be enjoying it.
+They seem so happy+
It was Rick's words that made a thought dawn on me.
*But we can't get too attached, they're going to leave later on don't forget*
+I know, why do you always have to be the voice of reason J?+
*It's one of my redeeming features*

Just when we'd finished up, our manager John walked in "Sorry guys but it's the girl's time to leave, we've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow and you guys need something to eat."
We all headed back out to the common room where the others were already waiting.
"Say your goodbyes and I'll be back in a moment to lead the girls out" he said before leaving.
I looked over to see that Callum had gotten very pale since we'd parted earlier and I suddenly understood why the girls had to leave. Soon, he would need to eat and they couldn't be here for that.
Everyone started hugging to say goodbye and a few moments later John walked back in.
He told the girls to follow him and Georgina and Christine headed after him. Jess and Isabelle turned to follow before they stopped as Jess began speaking.
"Oh I forgot," Jess began as she rooted through her bag "I drew something for you guys" she brought out a folded piece of paper.
As she went to hand it to Callum who was stood closest to her, she managed to catch the palm of her hand. I could already see what was about to happen and so could the security guard as he immediately closed and locked the door.
Before the pin prick of blood could even reach the surface, I was walking towards the two. Rick followed behind me, also sensing what was happening.
In his current state, Callum could barely control himself so add blood into the equation and it would be a disaster. As he went to step towards Jessica with hunger in his eyes, Rick and Ryan grabbed hold of him to get him under control. I pulled Jessica and Isabelle as far away from the guys as I could and placed myself in between.
Callum bared his fangs towards the girls and I could sense their fear and confusion.
*Get him into the other room* I told the guys but as they started, he slipped from their grip. As he darted towards the girls, I caught him by the arm and dragged him out, locking him in there.
I then turned back to the others, *you know what to do, they can't leave like this*
We turned towards the girls, using our compulsion to put them in a daze. Isabelle was the only one I've ever seen who managed to fight it.
Luckily our manager and bodyguards came in and used chloroform rags to knock them out.
"You guys are in some serious trouble" John managed to yell whilst keeping his voice quiet. "We'll need to sort this mess out but they need to come with us" he gestured towards the now unconscious girls and something in me hated seeing Isabelle like that.
"But first," he walked over to where we'd placed Callum and it was only then I noticed the blood bag in his hand. He opened the door and threw the bag inside. After a few moments Callum came out looking very apologetic.
>I'm sorry guys<
+It's fine+
*You couldn't help it*
-We'll just have to deal with it together-
>+*Agreed*+<
Knowing that we were in this together helped settle our minds but we still had to deal with our angry Manager.
"Bring the girls, we're leaving." John commanded
I lifted Isabelle up bridal style and followed after him.
