Well I'm shattered. I've not stopped making up excuses for everyone as I can't tell them I ran away as there would be more and more questions and that would be another 10 minutes. You see that doesn't sound like it's much time but there are over 100 people here and that's a lot of extra time wasted talking about the same thing over and over again. There is one person I haven't spoken to yet I should go no-
"August! How are you doing?" It was Justin
"I'm alright, just tiered that's all."
"I understand. That's one of the benefits of becoming a vampire is the NO SLEEPING (remember that for later😃)thing."
"Yeah, I bet it's useful."
"Yeah it is sometimes but the elders think it's nice to sleep and to just close your eyes as if they don't enjoy eternal life honestly I don't get them sometimes."
"Trust me neither do I."
For another half an hours me and Justin remembered the "good old days" but he seemed different, well everyone seemed different now.
"August?"
"Yes?"
"Will you share this dance with me?"
"I can't dance!"
"Oh come on just try, we can practice out here if you like and if you mess up then oh well it's only a bit of a laugh."
He's more opinionated than I remember.
"Okay."
We started to dance and if I must say if I was inside that massive hall in front of all those people I would have been laughed at and even though I'm not actually in the party itself I feel nervous as hell on the inside. Every single turn I make I step on his toes and I just keep saying "sorry" I might as well have made a song about it. I'm doing alright no-
Stephen POV
I saw August walk out onto the balcony. I guess she needed some fresh air after all the interrogations she has had tonight so I don't blame her. The whole night me and Darius were talking and he said that everyone was grilling her in hard about everything and she looked quite faint.
She has been gone along time actually I could go and check on her and see how she is doing. Never mind Justin has just gone to see her to check if she's alright.
Actually I might check on her anyway
No you won't you'll look desperate
But she might need my help
You will get your chance
You said that last time and now look
Well I was right you can have your chance in a bit I mean if Justin wants her then let him for a bit
Stop it
No because we both know the truth Stephen she doesn't like you
STOP
But you know I'm riiigggghhhtt
Stop it DEMON
Well that's what I am and guess what pretty boy I'm all yours.
I guess your rig-
My senses flared up she was about to be hurt I knew it. I ran as fast as I could down the stairs, through the main solid oak door, through the rose garden, past the gargoyles at the front of the castle and all I see is August on the floor...
