For any of the chapters in this story that has a flash back to a culture that I don't know the language to, I will put the language in English.

So sorry for the late update, I totally forgot all about starting to write the next chapter and I usually update as soon as each chapter gets 10 hits but yeah I'm way late on that. Real life problem and I have gotten back into drawing. So I am currently backed up on commissions. Again sorry!!

NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE: For those who are familiar with MHS cheerleaders and all the goings on there, yes I am changing them and no the cheerleaders aren't like I make them in this chapter. Please be aware that this is just for the story's sake. I personally like the MHS cheerleaders… not necessarily their skills.

Summary:

Siete has a secret and there's a new girl on the block. Only, how new is she to the vampire world? The rumors caused by her appearance lead to confusion, which is the perfect opportunity for the Vida family to bring down New Mayhem, once and for all.

Last Chapter

The shock at hearing the vampire's voice made everyone snap his or her heads up. That is except Silver. He had a glass of his favorite Disaronno on the rocks in his left hand and he just watched his elder. Finally, he put his glass down on the table and straightened his body. "Yes, well I wasn't the one who chose her. She chose me. Which right now, I really don't mind." The iciness of his voice was dangerously threatening.

Siete however, took a sip of his drink and then returned it full blast. "Be careful my fledgling, if you play with this type of fire, you'll end up more than burnt."

Kahului, HI

6:30 am, Friday

The 17-year-old's crimson eyes fluttered open as her alarm beeped its annoying rhythm. She groaned as her tan arm swung over and hit the top of the alarm, missing the snooze button and reaching for the switch to turn it off. Pulling the blanket over her head, she turned her back to her door and attempted to go back to sleep. However, within a split second she bolted upright, eyes wide, realizing what day it was.

Leaping from her bed, she dashed into the bathroom across the hall to get ready for the last day of spirit week at Maui High School. She brushed her raven-hair into a high ponytail and began to braid the loose hair. After she finished that she quickly applied some cover-up on the dark circles under her eyes, eyeliner on the bottom lid, bluish-white eye shadow, and Poco Pink Mac lacquer. Quickly she brushed teeth, wiped her mouth with the bath towel, reapplied the lacquer and ran into her room to change. Glancing at the clock, it read 6:53. 'Hmm… 24 minutes until I gotta leave.'

She immediately began to strip, ripping off her clothes and throwing them on the ground. Moving over to her dresser she picked out matching black lace bra and underwear and then began to rummage around another drawer for her light denim jeans. Grasping the pair of pants, she slipped them on, then buttoned and zipped the front. Walking over to her celebrity-sized, walk-in closet, she could barely contain her giddiness. For the seniors at MHS, "blue and white day", this day, was a way for them to outshine all the underclassmen with school spirit and pull far ahead in the race of which class has the most spirit. Yanking the blue and white, number #28 jersey off the hanger, she slipped it on and tied it behind, baring her pierced navel and bare midriff. Smiling, she picked out a pair of white vans that had graffiti on the sides. Melody exited the closet and headed over to the dresser again to grab the tubes of blue and white face paint along with the blue and white ribbons she was planning on tying in her hair. After fastening them in, she smeared two lines on each cheek, blue on top then white. Finally, she traveled to her nightstand and picked up the two hoops earrings that lie there. Once again, her eyes traveled to the green light of the digital clock's numbers and read the time. '7:02. 15 minutes left.'

As she left her room, she turned off the light and looked back to gaze at how dark the empty room had gotten. It was kind of plain: a queen size bed against the left wall accompanied by a nightstand and lamp, a black dresser on the right wall about 2 meters away from the entrance to the walk-in closet, a TV and several game consoles against the wall with the door, and huge glass doors and windows that led to the wrap around deck outside. With a final glance, she closed the door thinking of what she was going to be doing tonight. Then it hit her. 'Tonight, I'm supposed to go to Las Noches again. Siete is the one who wants me to go but…' Her eyes fell to the steps in front of her and then clouded over. The girl's right hand fell to the railing, more out of habit than for any kind of stability. 'I hope I get to see Silver again. But it will be awkward with Siete there.'

Moving over to her calendar, she checked what she had to do today and circled the message that read: "Friday – Blue and White Day, Meet with Siete and go to Las Noches by 11pm". It had been six days since she had last seen him. Mel's eyes routinely scanned over the last week and all of the X'd out boxes: "Monday – Sports Day", "Tuesday – Pajama Day", "Wednesday – 80's Workout Day", and "Thursday – Theme Day". Sighing, the troubled teenager opened the fridge and pulled out two eggs, six pieces of bacon, and the carton of orange juice. Grabbing a small pan, she sprayed it with some Pam then cracked the two eggs into it, sprinkling them with salt and pepper. Turning on her cold water very slightly, Melody sprinkled some into the pan via a pot lid and covered the eggs. Over the next 3 minutes she started 2 pieces of white bread and cut up a banana for a side dish. Finally after all was done, she sat down with the egg whites: she cut out the yokes, four pieces of bacon: she had already eaten two, two slices of toast, and her cut up banana. Her stomach growled happily as she ate, thanking her for finally feeding it.

Halfway through her second eggs, she chanced a look at the clock. It now read 7:20. Nearly choking on her food, she scarfed down most of what remained on her plate, popped a piece of toast in her mouth, dumped the dishes in the sink - almost breaking them - and grabbed her backpack and purse. Running out the front door with the piece of toast hanging out her mouth, she almost forgot to lock the door but turned around halfway down the driveway to fix her mistake. She slipped into her 2002 R34 Skyline GTR, with a red and black paintjob accompanied by red underglow and body kit. Pulling out hastily she sped down the short street to the entrance of the parking lot. As soon as she had parked and walked on campus, crimson-eyed girl was receiving greetings and invitations on what to do that night. Her best friend and cousin Becca ran up to her and linked her left arm with Mel's right and began to walk to first period together. All over campus you could see the senior's decked out in blue and white.

Maui High School After school – 2pm

The students of MHS had just exited the gym and all the seniors began to meet in the parking lot, mostly trying to decide what to do after the homecoming game that night against Baldwin High School. Meanwhile, murmurs could be heard through the crowd as the underclassmen planned what to wear while waiting for their rides. Mel on the other hand was propped up against her car talking to the senior guys. Just as they were laughing at a joke that Ikaika had made, Siete's voice slithered into her mind.

'Mel. I hope you do remember the promise you made. It's only three and a half hours away.'

The girl's inner thoughts freaked. 'What the hell are you talking about? Eleven o'clock isn't for another, oh, 9 hours!! I still have the football game and pre-game celebration to attend.' Mel was now very thankful for the ability to talk telepathically.

"So," one of the boys said as he wrapped his arm around Mel's shoulders, "Who you goin to go da kine game wit?" The single female's eyes widened a bit, having completely forgotten the arrangement. Every year she went with one guy and they would later go on a date. Only once, in her sophomore year had she actually started to date the guy she went to homecoming game with.

'Nine hours? What are you talking about? It's around 8 pm over here. Of course, I'm going by my time.'

"Listen I'm not really sure." Her previously widened eyes closed halfway and gazed downward, making the rest of the guys give him a look that could translate into "Look what you did idiot". A silence fell over them until Ikaika broke it by saying he was going to go look for his cousin. Suddenly the group began to chatter away, waiting for the traffic to die down.

'Listen, in three and a half hours WE'LL go there. Come to our pre-game performances and from there we'll leave ok? Try bring a friend… it'll get lonely if you don't. That's my conditions.'

Returning her gaze to her companions, she interrupted with the shocking statement: "I'm not going to the football game." All the guys stopped their conversations and stared at her as if she had just told them she was going to die.

'Fine. I'm only doing so because it's you asking. Just remember, you promised. Send me a message when it's time.'

"Why not?! It's been a tradition since we were in freshman year." Jake near-shouted. Everyone seemed to agree with the opinion of her going. Several heads were turned to her in shock.

'Alright. Now out of my head!'

"Yeah, I know many guys who will be disappointed." Chimed Thomas. Many of the other guys nodded, more so in saying they themselves would be disappointed.

"Actually, I had forgotten that I had already made plans. So no can go, you know?" A few of the guys shifted their weight under her surprisingly cheerful smile. If not going made her happy, then none of them would stand in her way. They had no right to challenge it.

"Whatever, as long as you're happy."

"Yeah."

"Thanks for understanding. But I will see you guys at the celebration right? After all, this year's dance team is going to kick the cheerleader's asses. Even though that's how it is every year, this year is my last year so it will be phenomenal." Following the nods and few "OK's", they all got in their cars and headed home to get ready for their last pre-game celebration.

Baldwin Stadium

4:46pm

An engine revved in the parking lot, attracting a lot of attention from the other racers there that were asked to help set up. The owner of the previous sound came rolling up, custom red/black paintjob and all. Once parked, out of it stepped a girl around 5'0", with wavy hair cascading down her nearly bare back. She wore black, small-heeled shoes that went just above the ankles and a flap folded down on the outside, white booty-shorts, and a black, velvet choker. Her black, shirt that looked like a bathing suit with intricate designs near the rim of her shorts and a huge cut in front, which would have revealed part of her torso and cleavage if it had not been for the second, white layer strategically placed from above the breasts to waist, the first part of it being somewhat baggy. The only part that covered her flawless back was a thin strip connecting the shirt, making it taut, and the thinner strips, which created the unique design of strings. As she began to walk towards the stadium, she donned a pair of glasses, the type you usually see celebrities wearing in magazines. A whistle from her left caught her attention, and much to the girl's surprise, found a friend in wait.

"Hey Mel," her friend Ikaika greeted as he embraced her in a hug. He was always kind to her, making sure if he ever caught her frowning that he instantly changed that into a laughing smile. The two had been friends since first grade, both having attended Kahului Elementary, and hung out almost every day after school. Now grown, instead of being a friend, Ikaika acted more like an older brother to the girl. The shorthaired, tan Hawaiian man took a deep breath in before releasing her from the hug, taking in her scent at the same time. 'Never Changes.' Ikaika smiled wide, revealing his white teeth, and gazed down at her grinning features. More over her lips. She had had obviously just applied some lip-gloss of sorts, cause they shone brilliantly, appealing aesthetically to him.

Mel watched as her friends' eyes glazed over, something somewhat shocking coming from the down-to-earth guy. "Ikaika? Earth to Ikaika."

Blinking a bit, he returned to reality, a bit embarrassed by the thoughts he had of his friend. "Oh, sorry. Started thinking bout something new yah?" He laughed as his arms came up behind the back of his head and his weight shifted to his right foot. Lately, he had been acting different, which Mel couldn't figure out as to why. "Oh, listen, I probably gonna stop by your house after da game, k? I no can stand goin' home right now. So I might be there for a couple days."

"Sure, you know my house is yours too. Just I won't be there tonight, I won't even be at the game." Ikaika's eyes widened at this statement but Mel merely shook her head and raised her hands, indicating she wanted no questions. That innocent smile graced her lips again, causing his heart to skip a beat. "Besides, just me and you there wouldn't be that fun now would it? Anyways, 'warrior' I have to get up to the sound box to make sure my music plays right. Plus I have to get the bikes here. So see you around." He watched as she spun on her heels and ran across the field to the home side, up to the audio box. Sighing, he headed out to find the group he had offered to help.

Baldwin Stadium

5:00pm – 15 minutes til show time

'Siete, show will start in fifteen minutes. As for who goes first, I don't know. But hurry if you want me to get you a seat.' Mel stood upright, watching her dance team practice tidbits of the choreography and get fully ready and pumped. Thinking back a couple minutes, she realized that the most of the students were already appearing. She could hear her heart pumping loudly in her ears, a common occurrence when showtime was nearing. Most of the girl's were getting their jitters out by talking and shaking out their hands. It was actually quite a sight to see. As to what the guy members of their team were up to, they had no idea considering they were in the other locker room. Meanwhile, their competitors, the cheerleaders were out on the field in front of the crowd, watching and waiting for the time to show their moves. "Alright, I'm gonna go get the guys. You girls meet me outside in a couple minutes. Showtime soon. Tonight, we will dominate over those cheerleaders. Remember: Always put 110 into anything you do!"

Cheers erupted from the girl's as the crimson-eyed leader walked out of the locker room. 'This is going to be so much fun!' Her hand reached out to the door of the guy's locker room, then realizing who was in there, called out, "Girl coming in, cover up your boys!!" Mel let out a small chuckle as she heard scrambling coming from inside and opened the door. However, she staggered at first from the sweat stench that was burned into the walls from the football games. Quickly she regained her balance and held her head high as she came around the corner to find two guys hastily getting their boxers on and the other guys laughing at them. A blush spread over her face as she saw this and shut her eyes calmly, giving them a couple seconds to finish. "Ahem. Well we are supposed to have probably 13 minutes left til showtime. So let's kick some cheerleader ass and show the student body why we're the best!" Many of the guys nodded and cheered as this was said, some even making fake punches at others. "Now, let's meet the girl's outside and you'll get the rings. After that, we head out to the field."

The whole team congregated together as Mel pulled out a clear bag containing about 20 some rings, each with a name engraved. She opened the bag, instructing them to grab theirs, then watched as they switched between each other's and finally slipped them onto their left pinky. "Alright, so here's the deal as you all should know by now. Put the ring on and DO NOT take it off until after we have performed. If we have an encore, you wait until after that." All eyes and ears were tuned into the petite girl. "Remember to turn the middle part of the ring to the right. Oh and please, PLEASE make it not so noticeable that they realize we're changing costumes. Ok, now let's go." Clapping her hands together like a quarterback would when yelling "break", they all turned and ran out onto the field, only to have a huge roar of cheers greet their ears. Most of the dance team's egos and spirits were immediately lifted causing them to grin like fools. As soon as they had made it across, Mel spotted Ikaika, Jake, and the rest of the guys. She signaled for her dancer's to be in their places at 5 till and then ran over to them.

Siete's Group

He watched as the short girl ran over and enveloped a guy about a foot taller than her with black hair and lightened tips. The man grinned then put his arm around her neck and started to rub his fist on top of her head, evoking a shriek from his good friend. However, the misunderstood shriek caused Siete and Silver to be seen ripping Mel away and pushing the guy away from her.

"What da fuck you tink you doin' eh?!" Jake yelled, gaining some attention from the people sitting down near him. "Fawkin idiots!" Shoving off Silver, he looked to Mel for some back up. All the rest of the guys by now were standing by Jake's side, glaring daggers at the newcomers.

Much to the surprise of her friends, Mel whirled on them, glaring at them. "Brah, listen to me when I say dat dey no can undastand how we joke hea, kay? So no be yellin' at dem for sumtin dey no undastand. Dey visitin' me for one short period and I expect you gon' give dem some respect, yah?" All the guy's kind of slumped and took on faces of displeasure, obviously ticked that their favorite shorty didn't defend them. However, just as quickly as she had turned on her friends, she spun to face Siete. "And you! You –," She pointed an accusing finger in his face, "You were being ignorant. I mean, haven't you ever heard of play fighting? That's all it was." The group behind him watched on as he was chastised by the petite girl. Excluding Silver, the companions of Siete were beyond shocked that the man would sit there listening to such an insolent girl, let alone smile affectionately as she was doing so. After all, he was the first vampire.

Finally, after she had calmed down and took a deep breath, she concluded as she ran a hand through her hair, "Anyways, it's still good you came. You're in for a show. Plus I see you brought Silver." Her eyes fell on him with a soft gaze and it was then that she noticed the other six people behind him. A grin spread over her face, her eyes lighting up as she recognized two of them. Siete, on the other hand, was bristling on the inside but decided not to say anything, so as not to hear anymore yelling. "Aubrey! Jager! You guys came too?" She ran over and gave them hugs, which surprised them both, Aubrey so much he almost pushed her away.

Mel released Jager from his hug, then slightly moved back and peered over his left shoulder at the remaining four. There were three men, two of which were identical twins, and a girl. Of the three men, the eldest looking one was wearing a maroon silk button-up shirt, white dress pants and white tie. The twin on the right was wearing a form-fitting black t-shirt accompanied by straight black pants. The other twin however was wearing somewhat worn jeans, a gray/white Quiksilver jacket, and a navy blue shirt with an unknown logo printed on the front. A smiled spread across the face of the fourth member of the group as she stepped forward. Her stylish, plaid capris really complimented the white, long-sleeved, off-the-shoulder shirt she was sporting, along with the matching fedora hat.

"Hi, my name is Nissa." The new girl introduced herself, all the while a smile still gracing her lips. However, while the smile was warm and inviting, it also showed Nissa for what she truly was – a vampire. Thankfully Mel smiled back and grasped the hand that Nissa had just recently extended. Using the empty hand Nissa began to introduce the other three. "The two twins are my brothers – Nikolas in the black and Chris in the white jacket." Mel's eyes fell upon the last man dress mainly in white. His roman features included his blonde hair, sympathetic eyes, and sensual lips. Obviously, the way he and Nissa looked at each other they had shared a moment in the past. With a soft breath she breathed, "And this – this is Kaleo. He is the one who gave me this –," for a second she paused wondering if Mel knew of vampires yet, "err – life."

Again Mel grinned, correcting her, "You mean he's the one who changed you." A little surprised, the pale girl nodded slowly to confirm the statement. At the same time, Mel smiled to each of the guys in order to acknowledge them. Spinning on her heels, she looked to Siete. "So my friend, where would you guys like to sit?"

Siete turned his attention to the half-empty stands. Suddenly, his arm raised and pointed near a spot where some freshman and sophomores were congregated, half-way up the stairs. "There." All the eyes followed his range and a smirk spread across Mel's face.

"Alright. Follow me." Mel led the group up the stairs and just as she two rows away, the group of underclassmen slid in. She pursed her lips and moved over to them. "Hey, kiddies, my friends were about to sit here."

All of the younger kids looked up at Mel and the group beside her, who were looking amongst themselves. A girl, possibly a sophomore, decided to be brave and with a surprising amount of attitude said, "Well, ai no kea. You too late stupid mutt."

In two steps she crossed in front of most of the group to be right in front of the girl. She bent forward and met her crimson eyes with the girl's brown eyes one, almost peering into her soul. "Talk to me like that again little one, and you will find the receiving end of my fist not so pleasant. Now I suggest you and your bratty underclassmen get out of my sight because if you don't, not only will your reputations be shot, but word of your attempt to go against a senior will spread making for a lot of your friendships to be lost." Standing back up, the scared girl quickly collected her things as she whispered to her friends to go and left. Turning to the others, Mel motioned for them to come sit down.

As they sat down, all but Siete were wondering where this darker side of the girl standing to the left of them came from. Once again, her signature smile spread over her features. "Sorry about that. Now I got go," She apologized as she began to move towards the stairs, "So I will see you all later." Mel ran down the stairs and ran out in front of the crowd, which by now was a full one. Screaming could be heard from all around the group and cheers emitted the more she pumped up the crowd for whatever was upcoming. Finally, the lights dimmed and the cheerleaders came on, Mel disappearing into the background.

Of course the crowd cheered wildly for the cheerleaders. After all, cheerleaders were still high on the food chain in high school. They did their dance and tricks, the crowd eating up every bit of it. Finally, it ended and the cheerleaders cleared.

A voice came over the loudspeaker. "Well wasn't that entertaining." A tan girl came running out, the dance team captain nowhere in site. "However, we all know who you would rather see!" Many of the students in the middle area stood and were cheering as loud as they could. "That's right!! Give it up for the dance team!!" Clapping, she ran off into the shadows while two girls came out, dressed in tradition Hawaiian wear.

Aubrey scoffed. "So this is what we brought for? If I wanted to go back to high school, I need only mask my image."

Siete looked at him. "No, I am here for Mel. She would not leave without performing. And I would not rather have shown up alone. That would not look good on me." The others had been listening in intently to see what the reason was he had even asked them to come. "Also, you all seem to enjoy the arts, so why not bring you along?" His question was laced with poisonous fruit, waiting for Aubrey to slip up and partake of it.

He did not though. "Well I appreciate the invite." Aubrey's words were said as nice as he could manage, mostly because he did not want to offend the original vampire.

The lights shut off and only two spotlights were on the two dancers, a lone ukulele playing for music. Slowly the girls began to move, more instruments joining in as they went along. Out of nowhere, all the lights went out. The sounds of two motorcycle engines revving could be heard throughout the stadium. Rows of small lights lit up on the stairways as they became ramps. Each motorcycle began to drive down the ramps at the beginning of their second song; MSI's "Shut me up". Launching off the ramp and into the air, both bikers held onto the handles, their legs doing tricks in the air. Right before the landing, they're legs grasped back onto the bike, the current dancers going into triple pirouettes. Once the dancers stopped, they had transformed into new outfits, always a crowd pleaser, and the motorcycles had skidded to a halt. The two people who had driven the two vehicles stepped off, coming forward dancing. Once the helmets were removed, the black suits that surrounded their body dissipated to reveal their real clothes. They moved in sync with the original dancers. Mel was on the far left of the dancing line her black hair matching everyone else in color and length. The fluid movement of their bodies being an intoxicating sight for most of their views. So distracting that most missed the building of the stage near to the stands. All of sudden many dancers came out on top of the stage, the four girls who were in spotlight joining soon after. Their acrobatics and stunts were awe-inspiring but the best part came when they began to travel into the stands, getting close to many of the spectators. The finished with a big group pose, the lights turning off again and you only being able to see their silhouettes. Chests were moving up and down, heavy from the complicated dance. They dispersed with a resounding echo of "encore" throughout the crowd. Though they had planned to do a second routine, they waved it off, promising to show them the favorite routine during the next assembly. A lot of football players came up to group congratulating them. For the girls they hugged them. Some of the guys however came up to an unsuspecting Melody and picked her up, spinning her around. She screamed in shock and then slowly stopped realizing it was her friends.

Silver stood in a weird way, turning to head down the stairs. Nissa and her two brothers were thoroughly impressed with how the show went and were happy to have been brought along. All three along with Kaleo were lovers of the arts. Shows such as the one they had just seen were usually what one would be seen in a professional production. Kaleo smirked, knowing he would like to get to know some of the women here better. He followed Silver's lead in standing and stretching getting ready to follow.

"Where are you two off to?" Aubrey's voice was smooth and controlled. However the question brought everyone's attention to the pair.

"I'm off to go congratulate Mel… not sure what he is doing." The charming voice of Silver explained. He was in a pair of faded jeans and a nice, blue and white button up.

Kaleo looked taken aback. "What? I thought I would join you. Do you not wish me to?" He smirked at him knowing that he wouldn't say not to him.

Siete interrupted the fun Kaleo was having. "No need, she's coming up." And sure enough she was, but more from being carried up by a couple guys. However, she didn't appear comfortable, them holding her bridal style. From far away you could hear her saying 'Guys, I'm fine. You can let me down.' The soldier's eyes turned to her as he stepped into the aisle, blocking the path of the guys.

"Silver!" Mel smiled and gave him the 'help me' look. Instantly, he reacted taking her from them and setting her down in one fell move. A quick nod from her gave her thanks as she turned to the guys. Before she could speak, the guys started speaking.

"Ho you. Get one boyfriend nao? Chick, tis been too long. Surprise you no get one earlier." The first guy began looked at her kind of happy.

"Yeah how come you no get one earlier. Ya kno most any guy like date you ah?" A quick raise of the eyebrows showed his joking flirtations. The second guy was known as a big flirt.

"Erm.." She was speechless. Without an inkling of how to respond, she turned to Silver who put a protective arm around her.

"Well now she does. And now I'm gonna take her out. Have fun tonight." He spun around with her and began walking up the stairs, Mel waving goodbye to the men. Siete, Nissa, Kristopher, Nikolas, Jager, Aubrey and Kaleo all followed suit, Mel's friends talking quietly amongst themselves about her new boyfriend. As soon as they had passed out of eye range Mel started laughing.

"You're crazy at times." So that way she could stand firmly, she leaned against the wall. It was cute how Silver had been protective of her. And she liked it a lot.

Nissa decided to speak for once. "So, who was choreographer for that routine you guys did. It was amazing!" Nikolas and Kristopher turned their head to hear the answer while Siete and Kaleo pulled up the rear, coming in to the answer.

A blushed formed on the girl's face. "Well.. I'm lead choreographer but I like to get input from the whole team. So I gotta say its definitely a team effort."

"Are you serious? YOU'RE the choreographer?" A simple nod answered Kaleo's question. "I do believe," He took a step forward and kissed her hand, smiling a toothy grin up at her, flirting eyes looking into hers, "We have not been properly introduced."

Silver intervened immediately, snatching her hand away from him. "Back of Kaleo. She's not one of your flings, nor will she be."

Mel blinked, unsure of what had happened but feeling like they should get out of there. "Um… why don't we head to Las Noches now?" She felt nervous and kindly slipped her hand away from Silver who was looking at Kaleo with jealousy.

Jager finally decided to speak. "That sounds like a splendid idea Ms. Melody. Why don't we head behind the stands so no one will see us?" A nod started Jager towards her and Nissa, who by now was very impressed with Mel. Siete lengthened the distant between Silver and Kaleo, both of them looking to each other with differing emotions. Aubrey however, was far ahead of the group, already waiting near the group.

The men's bathroom door opened and a young man around Mel's age emerged. He stood at 5'10" with jet-black hair and very tan skin. His eye color matched Mel's but only because he was wearing contacts. Those very same eyes looked up to see her with a group of people. "Mel!"

She looked up to see her ex running up to her. Jager gave her a questioning look but she motioned for him to move on and he did, along with Nissa, who he was thinking of flirting with once they got back. "M-Max."

"How are you? I haven't seen you in a long time. Life has been so crazy, this being our last year and all." He smiled down at her, not noticing how much it hurt her to talk to him.

Siete, Silver, and Kaleo all stopped by Mele, while Nikolas and Kristopher ran over to their sister, wanting to talk to her really quickly. Silver glared at the human boy who was kind of shocked that he was greeted with such hostility. "Who are you?"

"Eh- I'm an old friend of Mel's." He turned his attention back to his ex, fearing that if he looked at the man too long his gaze would actually burn him. "I didn't know you were with friend. But give me a call. I would love to hang out with you again. We haven't since… well you know. Catcha later!" Max's fleeting form ran around the corner, disappearing to the game.

'That was your ex wasn't it?' Siete waited for an answer and soon it was confirmed. 'Forget about him and have a good time tonight alright?' This time, the request was answered by a small smile.

"Sorry about the wait, let's go now. Just let me send my car home and we can go." Silver discretely grabbed her hand and squeezed it, feeling uneasy about how Mel wanted to get out of their so badly.

"Actually, I think I am going to stay. There is so much… potential here." Another playful yet dangerous look formed in Kaleo's eyes. He really wanted to feed and have a fling, preferably with a girl who was in the show tonight.

All three pairs of eyes turned to him with a look of suspicion. Only one spoke though. "I will tell you now brah, if you kill or turn anyone tonight, I will come back and kill you." Garnet eyes rested on him with a determined look. There was no mistake that the threat was true.

"Well, then I will be careful tonight. Though, it would help my cause if you came after me. Then I could get you alone for a little while." His toothy grin came out once more, just before he turned to go back into the stadium and wait out the last to quarters.

Silver was about to say something when Siete looked him in the eye and shook his head. "Let's go already." Mel pushed a button on her car keys and in the distance you could hear an engine revving. With the party regrouped, they disappeared into the cold night air, leaving nothing behind.
