"Can I have this dance with you?" said Jack who extends his arm. "Thalia,"
Jack utters my name as I can't accept his offer. All of a sudden, I remember him. I remember Drake who left me without saying goodbye.
My heart aches for a second. My tears begin to flow but I hold it back. "Yes," I said, reaching for his warm hand.
"I know you will never failed me,"
"I don't have a choice but to say yes to you!"
In front of the Vampire Lord, I must earn his trust. I must show how good I am as the King's beloved. Smiling bitterly makes me fake and untrue, but Mother discreetly gives a signal that says, "Go! Dance with the King!"
"Shall we?" Jack tilt his head slightly. "You are standing tonight, Thalia. And... I can't take my eyes off of you."
"I know I am."
Vampires scattered throughout and give us way to the middle. Their head turns into our way as few of them gapes while staring on us.
