The white wolf spun her around getting faster and faster, "You're no so bad yourself milady." His eyes glittered beneathe his mask as he pulled her to him by her waist.

Klaus was impressed by her, "You've been practicing."

Kette scanned the crowd of dancers catching sight of Myfi's glorious silver locks, "There she is.... who's she dancing with?" He raised his brow becoming instantly jealous.

[Rikku_Feline]

Her eyes darted over through the crowd before looking back at the wolf. She looked at him curiously, wondering who he could be.

"I've had an excellent teacher." She grinned, spinning around in his arms. "Besides, I have to practice to keep up with you."

Casticus peaked his head over the crowd, eying the selkie. "I don't know..." he said, eyes narrowing, scrutininzing the man. He mad a low, ominous voice in the back of his throat, obviously displeased.

[DemonicFox99]

Sylryl made her way to the edge of the crowd watching the couples dance and refusing the countless offers of young men vying for her attention. Her intensley blue eyes scanning the crowd of dancers watching Myfi's every move.

Kette didnt notice the elf never taking his eyes off of Myfi, all the while feeling something was bad wrong with the man she waltzed with.

Lance squished through the crowd finally catching sight of the aqua haired vampire girl. She was dressed in a soft baby pink gown with long white lace gloves. Her hair was twisted into large soft curls and covering her face was a delicate make resembling gold butterfly wings while daintly laced wings fanned behind her as she walked. He made his way in her direction.

Klaus was beginning to catch the attention of the available females in the room. They swooned and reached out as though they would grab and pull him into the crowd should he get too close.

[Rikku_Feline]

Casticus glared at the man waltzing with the selkie before his eyes were drawn to the same flash of lavender he saw before. He glanced over at the elf, eyes widening at her. The kelpie's whole body suddenly relaxed, caught up once more in the odd spell of the stunning elf. He shook his head, trying to focus on Myfi again.

Myfi swirled around with the strangely, feeling increasingly awkward.

Orchid glared daggers at the other women, jealousy suddenly striking a chord at her still heart. She looked down, eyes shadowed by her dark mask.

A figure watched the two vampires dance carefully, black lips curling into a smile. She wore a long black dress, almost reminiscent of the Romans or Greeks, but wrapped partially in thick leather belts. Her arms were also adorned with the belts, giving her a look that did not include meakness. Her mask was dark as well, made of leather and branching out into black snakes. He short, raven hair was slicked back and her pale skin contrasted greatly with the black costume. The medusa woman stood still in the crowd, simply watching.

[DemonicFox99]

Klaus spun the small vampire around in his arms and dipping her inches above the floor just as the song came to an end. He smiled his eyes gazing into hers thorugh his furry mask.

The white wolf dipped the selkie low as well smiling to reveal his fangs. "Thank you for the dance." He stared deep into her eyes with his own, hypnotic and shimmery. A scent surrouned his presence making him irresistable to any one around him.

Sylryl twirled the feathers of her mask around her fingers watching as the song came to an end.

Kette growled unable to stand still any longer. He slowly began to make his way through the crowd.

[Rikku_Feline]

Orchid was snapped back into reality by the sudden drop. She gasped at first, fearing she was falling until she felt Klaus's hand stop her inches from the floor. She looked up at him with soft silver eyes.

The selkie looked up, seeing the demon approaching them. "Kette!" she cried happily, freckled face lighting up. She took a few hurried steps towards him.

Casticus walked closer to Myfi, yet still found his mind wandering to the elf just across from him. He found himself inadvertantly walking over to her. Casticus suddenly found that he was standing in front of the elf, not quite remembering how he got there. "Sylryl...you- uh...I mean-you look-I-...s**t..." He stumbled over his words, positive he looked like a fool. He eventually gave up at making any coherrent words, halfheartedly muttering the curse.

[DemonicFox99]

Kette felt his jaw drop seeing her. His heart began to beat heavily in his throat until he saw her dance partner following behind her with the slyest of grins painted across his face. The demon suddenly froze standing perfectly still.

The wolf smiled devilishly standing quietly behind Myfi.

Klaus picked her back up and smiled as the audience erupted with applause.

Sylryl smiled softly at him "You look quite stunning yourself."

[Rikku_Feline]

"...Kette?" she whispered, seeing a look of fear cross his face. She walked closer to him, placing a hand over his. "What's wrong...?" she mouthed out softly.

Orchid smiled, clapping slightly herself.

"Not as much as you..." he said, managing to string several words into an understandable sentence. He looked up hearing another song beginning to lilt through the air. "Care to dance?" he asked, holding out a leatherglove bound hand and bowing.

[DemonicFox99]

The lights began to dim as a voice floated over the crowd, "Tonights festivites where brought to you by your host Mr. Klaus Havard!" A light shone down on the blushing vampire as a crowd surrounded him. He bowed and shook the hands of all who approached thanking each of them. He didnt realize he had been seperated from Orchid.

The crowd began to clear itself from the dance floor taking Klaus with it. The dancers waltzed their way onto the floor. Thousands of tiny flecks of light decended from the ceiling floating around the dancers.

Kette suddenly got an idea of how to escape from the man's gaze. "Myfi, would you dance with me?"

Sylryl took his hand following him out to the dance floor. "I'd love to."

[Rikku_Feline]

Orchid looked around, suddenly finding herself alone. She quickly shrunk into the crowd.

The medusa suddenly approached Klaus, smiling seductively. "So you're the one in charge of this," she said, cocking her head at him and smirking. "You did well I must say."

Myfi blushed in surprise at his offer. "A-alright..." she whispered taking his hand tentatively.

Casticus pulled her closer, placing one hand on her waist and keeping the other clasped in hers. He carefully began to waltz, trying his hardest to look graceful or poised, but not quite getting it.

[DemonicFox99]

Klaus smiled genuinely bowing to the woman. "Why thank you milady." His cloudy grey eyes gained a sad air as he stood back up. "I trust you are enjoying yourself?"

Kette sighed in relief leaning his head on her shoulder as he waltzed her around in circles. "I'm sorry... I dont trust him." He held her tightly to him trembling slightly.

Sylryl gently took the lead whenever he would faulter then let him take back over smiling softly as her tattooed eyes remained fixed on him.

Angry eyes watched the demon as he waltzed around with the selkie in his arms. The young Olivia dressed in pink watched jealously as the pair danced not noticing the knight approaching her.

[Rikku_Feline]

"What?" she asked with a mischievious laugh. "Not going to as me to dance?"

Myfi held him comfortingly, running a hand up his back. "You are shaking..." she whispered in his ear. "We shall stay away from him if he makes you uncomfortable..." She nuzzled up to him in an attempt to calm him.

Casticus sighed. "I'm sorry I'm not very good at this," he said pathetically.

[DemonicFox99]

Klaus bowed low to the woman, "Forgive me where are my manners?" He extended his hand and lead her to the dance floor twirling her gracefully around causing her skirt to billow behind her.

Kette calmed himself slightly becoming more comfortable the more he tried to focus on dancing. He became lost in her beauty pulling her closer. He leaned down and whispered into her ear, "You're beautiful."

Sylryl smiled and rested her head against his chest, "You're doing fine."

[Rikku_Feline]

The woman smiled, pushing herself closer to him. "You're a very good dancer..." She rested her head against his neck, her lips brushing against his skin. "I wonder what other talents you have..."

"Th-thank you..." she whispered. She held him tightly, not wanting to let go just yet. "You look...quite lovely as well." She could feel the heat rising to her face.

Casticus smiled down at her, reaching a hand up to gently stroke her hair. A very soft whinnying noise exited his throat.

[DemonicFox99]

Her spell was beinging to weave itself into his thoughts, which only saddened him further. He countered her wonderings with a distant voice, "Countless... I'm sure.." He tilted his head to the side trying to escape her as he waltzed her calmly around the floor.

Kette was slowly loosing focus on everything but her but for some reason he looked up noticing in Klaus's arms, a woman who was not Orchid. He thought it odd and watched over his friend from the safety of Myfi's arms. "Something's wrong with Klaus." He muttered to Myfi.

The elf's long elegantly braided cascade of hair fell from his fingers like rain dripping from the twigs of a tree, the gold rings and glass beads tinkling as they gently brushed against one another. She sighed feeling really relaxed for the first time in a while.

"I want to dance with Sir Kette not you!" The young vampiress whined from not getting her way. The young knight backed away slowly feeling the pain of rejection.

"But Miss Olivia I...." She sighed at the boy.

"You're too pathetic anyway. You're nothing like Sir Kette." She softly swooned everytime she said his name.
