"Curtis, do you want to dance with me?" asked Annie as she looked at Curtis who shook his head.
"No, I don't feel like dancing" said Curtis.
"You can go dance though, I will go over there and take care of Noey" said Curtis as he carried Noey and Annie laughed.
"Okay, have fun" said Annie as she laughed and Curtis walked away as she saw Matt walking towards her.
"You want to dance Annie?" asked Matt as he smiled and he stretched out his hand to Annie as she smiled and she took his hand.
"Sure" said Annie with a smile as Matt smiled at her and in the corner of Matt's eye, he saw Annie's father staring at him with a sour expression.
"John, can you be mature for once? And also wipe off that sour expression on your face, don't embarrass Annie" said Lisa as she whispered to him.
"How do you expect me to smile when he's over there" said John as he whispered back.
"John, behave" said Lisa.
"Yeah, yeah" said John as he drank his wine and Lisa shook his head.
"But wait, weren't you dancing with Evie?" asked Annie.
"She asked me to dance with you" said Matt with a smile.
"So if she hadn't asked you to, you wouldn't have asked me?" asked Annie as she laughed.
"Well no, I would have" said Matt as he kept on looking to the left.
"What's wrong Matt, what are you looking at?" asked Annie as she noticed that Matt wasn't focusing on her, he kept on looking to the left.
"You dad is looking at me, and not in a nice way" said Matt as Annie looked at John who smiled quickly when he saw her looked at him and she smiled at him.
"Well don't mind him, I don't think he's looking at you" said Annie as she smiled.
"But he is, I can feel it" said Matt as Annie laughed.
"Why are you so scared of my dad? What did he do to you?" asked Annie as she laughed.
"He's scary, can't you see it?" asked Matt.
"He's not scary, he's my dad, and he likes you" said Annie.
"Umm no he doesn't" said Maddie as she popped into the conversation and she shook her head as both Matt and Annie looked at her.
"Annie you don't seem to notice but your dad doesn't like Matt at all, it's obvious" said Maddie as Celeste came to hide behind her and she held her hand.
"But why?" asked Annie as she did not get it.
"He feels threatened my friend" replied Maddie.
"And why would he feel threatened?" asked Annie.
"Matt, you should be the one to answer that question" said Maddie as she looked at Matt who said nothing at all, and that made Maddie sigh, she had to be the one to do everything here.
"Well in that case I have to talk to him" said Annie as she was about to leave to walk to her dad when Matt stopped her.
"No, I mean not right now, it will only make things worse" said Matt.
"What are we talking about?" asked Ollie as he suddenly came out of nowhere and Maddie scoffed.
"None of your business blondie" said Maddie as Ollie ignored her.
"Celeste dear, would you please tell me what's going on?" asked Ollie as he looked at Celeste.
"Matt says that uncle John doesn't like him and now Annie wants to go and talk to him, but Matt says no it will make things worse" said Celeste.
"Oh, well I agree with Matt Annie, now is not the time to talk to him, maybe in a different setting" said Ollie.
"Fine" said Annie.
"Good, now come on, let's dance" said Ollie as he smiled and he stretched out his hand to Annie.
"No, I don't want to dance anymore" said Annie.
"Is it because of me?" asked Matt.
"No Matt, it's not, my feet are killing me right now wearing these heels" said Annie as she laughed and she pointed at her feet as she was wearing green heels.
"Oh I see, well it's fine" said Matt as he smiled and Maddie was in jubilation on the inside that Annie was not going to dance with Annie.
"Don't you even dare think of asking me" said Maddie as she saw Ollie looking at her.
"I wasn't going to" said Ollie as Maddie scoffed.
"Cellie, would you like to dance with me?" asked Ollie with a smile as Celeste nodded and she let go of Maddie's hand.
"Hey, wait a minute, she's my sister, you need my permission first" said Matt as Annie laughed.
"Sorry dude, can I dance with your sister?" asked Ollie as he smiled.
"What do you think Cellie, you want to dance?" asked Matt as Celeste nodded.
"Well alright then, you can go" said Matt as Celeste smiled and Ollie and her went to dance as Annie laughed.
"She's a quiet cutie, I don't know whose more quiet, she or Noey, but then again, Celeste is very quiet" said Maddie as she laughed.
"I agree" said Annie.
"She's just like that" said Matt as he smiled.
"Hey, where's Evie?" asked Maddie.
"I don't know, I thought that she was here… somewhere" said Annie as she looked around.
"No, she's not here, I can't hear her" said Matt.
"Then where could she have gone?" asked Maddie.
"Celeste come on, it's bedtime now" said Lucinda as she carried Noey from Curtis and Celeste nodded.
"Bye Ollie" said Celeste with a smile as she waved at him.
"Bye" said Ollie with a smile as Celeste and the others followed after Lucinda.
"What's wrong?" asked Ollie as he walked to the others.
"We don't know where Evie is" said Annie.
"Well then let's go look for her… but we have to be careful about it" said Ollie.
"I agree, let's split up, Annie and Matt you go that way, blondie, you and I go the other way" said Maddie as they all nodded and they split up.
"Where do you think that she can be?" asked Annie.
"I don't know, we just have to find her" said Matt.
"I didn't know that you wanted to be with me" said Ollie as he laughed.
"Oh be quiet, I just don't want you to come in between Annie and Matt, so eyes on finding Evie blondie" said Maddie as she walked ahead into the other hall and Ollie followed after her.
…
"Do you think that she can be out here?" asked Annie as she and Matt walked to the balcony.
"I don't know, but her scent of flowers, I can trace it here" said Matt as Annie shivered it was cold out here.
"The scent is so strong" said Matt as he walked to the parapet of the balcony and he looked down.
"You think that maybe she fell off?" asked Annie as she joined Matt and looked down as Matt could not mistake the scent of his sister, and he was trying so hard right now to try to hear something anything.
"I think there's something in there" said Annie as she heard some rustling in the bushes below and Matt looked down carefully, something told him that Evie was down there.
"Did you find her yet?" asked Maddie as she and Ollie walked to the balcony and Annie turned to look at them.
"No, and what about you guys?" asked Annie.
"Not at all" said Ollie as he shook his head and he sighed.
"Oh where could she be right now?" asked Maddie in worry, the Crown Princess could not just disappear like that, not with all the security of vampires put in place.
"I don't know, if we can't find her then we have to tell uncle Jake" said Annie as Matt kept on looking down, he could smell something, hear something, but he just didn't know what, and It was just too dark for him to see anything.
"We will need to tell him" said Matt as in the same moment he heard the sound of growling as without warning a body jumped up from inside the bush and landed on Mat as Annie moved back in shock and so did Maddie.
"It's Evie" said Matt as he saw Evie and as he looked at her eyes, they were red, and she was growling.
"Evie, Evie" called Matt as Evie did not seem to listen to him, she kept on growling.
"Somethings wrong with her, that's not Evie" said Maddie as she stayed back and Matt carried Evie as she tried to bite him and he covered her mouth with his hand and she tried to bite his hand.
"She's trying to bite you" said Ollie.
"Yes, somethings wrong with her, and she's not listening to me" said Matt.
"Evie" called Annie as all Evie did was growl.
"We have to go and tell my mom" said Matt.
"But how do we do that without causing a scene?" asked Annie.
"On it" said Maddie and Ollie at the same time as they looked at each other.
"I just sent a message to Aunt Luc" said Maddie.
"And I sent one to your dad" said Ollie.
"Evie's what's wrong?" asked Matt as he looked at Evie in worry and she just remained quiet as she had settled down.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine" said Matt as he sighed internally, he did not know what was going on at all, and he did not like it one bit.
