A/N - This is  STEPHEN LOCK ⬆️
August POV
My first thought was not really but Darius said to make an effort. So that's what I'm doing.

"I'm sorry auntie." I said through the gaps of my teeth, but if I was going to make it through the next few weeks or possibly months it was just easier to get along.

"Well...(me saying sorry obviously made her lose sight for a moment) at least you have come to your senses, anyway you must go and freshen yourself up immediately there are guests!" You can imagine the shrill of excitement and bossiness towards me but I expected that.

"Take her to her room and get her ready."
I thought she meant Darius for a moment but I soon realised that a small gargoyle had flown from one of the gates and landed next to my auntie as if a dog. I felt sorry for it.

"Yes mistress. At once mistress." The monotone voice spoke and in a quick side step the gargoyle was holding my hand leading me around the back entrance towards my old room.

I Hate This Place.

Darius POV
She hates this place. I can already tell.

I wondered if I should have told her about Stephen lock and his parents coming tonight because when August went to get some food which was on the front of the jet Stephen texted me and said that he is looking forward to tonight as he thinks it will be nice to see everyone again but I don't think he cares about everyone else I think he cares about August. I must admit he is nice looking and his family are strict with him when it comes to girls and keeping "the family name engraved into vampire history" they are the smartest vampires I have come across in a long time. But when Stephen and August were little they were so close all of the time. Some nights she would sneak out to meet him in the woods that surrounded the castle and he would sneak off to and it was adorable when they were younger because it was innocent with no worries but now it isn't. She is my sister and when it comes to boys I don't think she knows how protective I can get.

August POV
I have learned that the gargoyles name is Scream and she is actually really nice. Her voice can get a bit annoying but I should get used to it. Scream shows me the dress that my brother picked for me it is gorgeous so I ask scream...
"Scream, I'm going to be wearing the aquamarine dress."
"Yes miss"
"And I'm going to have a shower and unpack my things also I want to redecorate my room as it's to dark."
"Certainly miss, is that all?"
"Yes Thank you I'm going to have my shower now so I will see you later."
I waved and retired back to my old room. I was wrong the room wasn't that dark but it definitely needed some TLC.

1 hour later
Im finally ready with all my stuff unpacked and I'm kind of settling in (I'm only settling in because there isn't anyone bothering me yet) I am about to put on the dress that scream ironed for me when I realise I'm freaking out because all of a sudden a lot of chatting was happening down stairs and I knew that that meant someone important has arrived.
I try and keep my mind clear and put the dress on...

When I start to head down the stairs I hear a mumble start to die out when I started to descend down the stairs and that makes me feel even more nervous as I couldn't mess up now not with everyone looking at me

I see Darius looking at me with that cheeky grin of his plastered on his face, I take his hand and breath slowly.

Stephen POV
There she is...
