Beauty
The ballroom was exquisite. It was decorated with large crystal Chandeliers, A violin player and a pianist. There was a large dining table off to the side of the room with a extremely large window, allowing you to see all of London. The soft melody of sound and sequence played through the matching rhythms of the Violin Player and the Pianist. Originally, Xavier was going to have the get together at a Club but this was much more formal and old fashioned.
He sat at the Dining table alone, Wearing a black pinstripe suit jacket with a white collard shirt, slightly unbuttoned. He lightly sipped at some red wine in a tall champagne glass and awaited the arrival of his guests. They would all be so happy to take a break from the training that it was an incredibly gracious offer for someone ike Xavier to preform, however he did..Out of the kindness of his heart.

Aubrey made her entrance slowly. Her perfect brunette hair hung in lose ringlets around her shoulders. Small black pearls adorned her head. They matched the ones hanging from her neck and ears. She smiled charmingly at Xavier as she sauntered over to his table.
A mischievous secret glinted in her perfectly honey orbs. An usher came an offered her a glass of wine. She took it gracefully, keeping her eyes locked on Xavier. He glossy black nails glinted in the light ans she raised her glass to her dark lips. "I had your heart cased in glass. It's setting on the mantel in my room."
Aubrey moved behind him with a soft flowing grace placing her hand selectively on his shoulder. She rubbed it softly. Her body tingled with excitement. Tomorrow Shaden would be ready and she would begin his training along with Kade. She purred softly with her own satisfaction. She looked at him adoringly, the scorn and hatred hidden away where he could not see. He would regret ignoring her and tossing her to the side.
She leaned down and kissed his ear lobe. There was nothing that he could do to make it up to her. He wanted her cold and hard, now that is exactly how he could have her.

Chloe had always been an attention seeker and hated being ignored. It just didn't work for her. She walked in , slowly as ever. Never in a rush to get any where no matter who was waiting. She had every right to take her time. Her new peach colored dress hugged her body nicely. She was in love with the dress. It was better then her other dress that had, sadly, been ruined, and her soft blond hair hung low to her shoulders. A few white gold bracelets were in place on her left wrist.
She made her way over to the table in which both Xavier and Aubrey were. A soft smile playing on her lips. Once more a spark of the devils muse came into her green eye as she locked eyes with Aubrey's honey orbs. "Hello Aubrey." She said politely, and then looked at Xavier, "Hello Xavier." Her voice just a little softer.
She looked at the usher that came over to her. She gladly accepted the wine and raised the glass to her lips. Her eyes wandered to the window. She walked over to it and stared out it, just enjoying the view.

Xavier waltzed over to Aubrey and greeted her with a traditional kiss on the cheek, he repeated the same process with Chloe. Both of them looked stunning to say the least. Xavier then walked over to the window and smiled, he could smell Jacob on his way. Also, past the stinging aromas of Perfume and Wine, Xavier could still smell new Black Nail Coven Members in the process of being created.
Oh Aubrey, I hope you made a good choice.
A smile stretched across his lips as he looked at the two women again. Chloe's training was coming along beautifully and she was becoming more and more powerful as the days went on. Honestly, Xavier couldn't have dreamed of something as good as this, 2 women, both nearly opposites, both extremely powerful.
Xavier then walked back over to both women, smiling. He pulled out 2 black cases, both of which were glossy and handed both of them to the Women. Each of them had a different customized expensive diamond bracelet inside. Xavier always loved to shower his members in gifts, female or male. It was a habit he could not break.

Aubrey eyes the bracelet. She didn't want anymore of his gifts, whether he was giving them to everyone else as well or not. She snapped the glossy box shut, curling her lips into a slight smirk. "Oh, Xavier. You shouldn't have." She leaned up to kiss his cheek. Her tone lost it's charm. "Really, you shouldn't have."
Aubrey snapped her fingers and an usher appeared. She handed him the box and directed him to put it with her coat and hand bag. She smiled as she jostled off. "My, my, my Xavier. Always passing out gifts that no one asks for, aren't you just so affectionate." She eyed him over her wine glass. She hadn't asked him to almost beat her too death. She hadn't asked him to turn her into a vampire. She sure as hell hadn't asked him to bring her into his coven.
She cut her eyes away to look over Chloe. She leaned in and kissed her cheek as well. "Hello Chloe love, don't you look wonderful." Aubrey was pleased that she had enjoyed the dress. Aubrey's fingers traced Chloe's arm. Last night they had shared blood. The rush and excitment of the ordeal was now stirring up in Aubrey's being. She flashed a selective smile at her and pulled away.
Jacob would be here soon. Aubrey still thought Jacob was a fool, Xavier was lying to him. Just as he had lied to her. He was still promising her things that would never be. Aubrey walked out the large doors and onto a balcony. She placed her hand on the railing and looked out. Shaden was turning. She could feel him. Excitement bubbled up and she laughed. Kade would be here tonight. He had been ready, Aubrey had just been waiting for Shaden.
Tomorrow she could begin to train them. Kade would throw off Xavier tonight. He would surely be expecting Shaden. Tonight, he would just be pleased with her choice in Kade. Tomorrow he could be angry. Aubrey didn't want to ruin the night. She laughed softly into the night. This could have been different. It all could have.

Chloe smiled as she opened the box and saw the bracelet. This was just the type of thing Chloe was use to. Gifts, praise. She was however use to just a little more affection, but that was something not really needed. However gifts were, and Xavier had that part covered very well. She turned her smile and tempting eyes to Xavier "Thank you Xavier," She said adoringly, "It's lovely." Chloe then kissed him on the cheek as well. Almost like she was in competition for his attention.
She looked at Aubrey after she so innocently placed a kiss on her cheek as well. "Not as wonderful as you, love." She grinned, only slightly showing her perfect white teeth. She quietly called to the usher to have the bracelet with the rest of her things. Then turned back to Aubrey, to see that she had walked out onto the balcony. Chloe followed her.
Chloe watched her for a moment, soon enough understanding where Aubrey's thoughts must be. But Chloe wouldn't dare say anything about it. "Its a lovely view isn't it?" She asked sweetly, slightly leaning over the railing. She loved London but sometimes she missed New York. After all that was her true home.

Aubrey smiled softly and took a sip from her glass. "It is beautiful." She turned, pressing her back into the railing so she could look at Chloe. She twirled her finger along the rim as she took her in. This was all going so well. It was almost too perfect. She could feel Kade drawing near. She breathed in the cool night air.
She didn't plan on staying long. She made her appearance to please Xavier. She was going to try and not make him too upset with her. Tomorrow would make him angry enough. She could introduce Kade tonight and then leave. She wanted to be back with Shaden.
Aubrey almost felt bad for being so coarse with Xavier, almost. He hadn't done anything that he said he would so why should she continue to try. She would play his game. Sooner or later though he would see just how useful she actually was. By then, it would be too late.
She held her hand out to Chloe as a dark smile spread over her face. Chloe was right. It was beautiful. "Come inside with me, love? I would hate to spend all night long ignoring our host."

Kaden walked straight into the ballroom without pause. Aubrey had told him to find her as soon as he arrived. He had no plan to disobey her. His blue gaze caught sight of her standing on the balcony. His lips rolled into a mischievous smirk. That must be Chloe. He chuckled to himself. The wine colored dress shirt he wore under his black dress suit matched Aubreys gown perfectly. "Splendid."
He made his way towards her watching her facial expressions. He had always observed people's reaction to anything going on around him. She gave away not the slightest hint of secrecy. She portrayed exactly as he had expected her too. He approached her silently and placed his hand on the small of her back. He knew she could feel his entrance, just as he had been able to feel her presence as he neared his destination.
"Hello Aubrey." His kept his gaze locked on her. He was lower in the coven and would be polite and wait for Aubrey to introduce him to the young blonde or for her to introduce herself. "You look rather lovely tonight."

Aubrey beamed at him. Kaden looked lovely. She took his hand in her and kissed his knuckles softly. "I look almost a lovely as you pet." She directed him toward Chloe. "Kade, this is Chloe. She is also still training." Aubrey smiled as she stepped away from the two. "I'm going to get Xavier."
Aubrey made her entrance back into the ballroom slowly. A usher walked up to her and offered her another glass of wine. She traded her empty one out and smiled as she looked at him. He had such a young and hopeful face. She sent him on his way, watching how he dolloped about. It made sense, Xavier would never allow other vampires to any coven event. Naturally he had to hire humans to do this. Aubrey hoped that there was no underlying reason for them being here.
She looked back to the usher who had just sashayed away form her. If there was another reason for having humans catering this, she had bids on him. She pondered on that for a moment before dragging herself to Xavier.
Her face had been wiped clean again. Her perfect honey eyes stared up at him. She smiled, allowing an adoration for him to show. Secretly, she wanted to throw her wine glass in his face and claw his eyes out. She placed her arm possessively on his arm. "Xavier, would you like to come meet my new pet?"
She twirled her fingers around the rim of her glass. "I think you rather might like this one." She looked up at him through empty eyes. "I found him thrashing about in California. He was more than eager for the opportunity." She smiled up at him. Her best adoring smile planted on her face. Not to long ago she would have actually been looking at him like that, it wouldn't have to be fake.
Xavier had ruined that for her. Now, she would be loyal to him to an extent. She would play his game. She would say, do, and act however he thought was best. She would be his good little prodigy and train the newer recruits his way. She would out shine his other little members and Xavier will be so impressed with her new attitude that he will get over the fact that she changed Shaden.
Xavier was never going to love her. Why should he care who does lover her, or who she chooses to love. Anger flashed through her eyes at the thought. It was quickly gone though. "Come meet him love, and tell me why our Jacob is yet to arrive."

Chloe's sharp green eyes watched Kade closely. So this was Aubrey's new pet. She smiled sweetly at him. "It's wonderful to meet you Kade." She said politely, her voice like silk as always. Then nodded to Aubrey as she went to get Xavier. So far this was going very well. She didn't think Shaden would be coming so hopefully it would stay this way. She didn't want there to be a fight while she was in her new dress.
She could feel him though. Out there somewhere. It was such a wonderful feeling. That along with the blood she had shared with Aubrey.
She finished off her drink, and then called for the usher for another. She traded the now empty glass for another glass of wine. When he had backed away from her to return indoors. Chloe took a small drink.
Then turned her gaze back to Kade. She looked him over, and mentally nodded. He did look lovely she guessed. And she could feel the power still growing within him. She offered him yet another smile before looking out at London once more. She could just stand here all night.
"You do look lovely Kade." She said without turning to look at him

He payed very close attention to Aubrey as she walked away. He concealed low chuckle. She was good at this. If you were to be bad, you might as well be good at it. He cast an amused grin toward Chloe. He rolled the options of how to speak with her. She spoke to him without looking at him, showing him her status of being higher.
He followed her gaze off past the balcony. "I suppose that everyone must look lovely tonight, Chloe." He slid slightly closer to her, almost doing it unnoticed. She could smell Aubrey on the young blonde. His lips curled into a grin. What had Aubrey been doing with this young woman. Naughty Aubrey. "I must say though, I think you might have everyone beat.
He turned to face her, pulling a long black rose from seemingly out of no where. He handed it her smiling exclusively to her. "I look forward to getting to know you Chloe." His selective smile turned into a cold smirk. "In and out of training."
Aubrey had told him of what he was to look forward to in training. he didn't fear pain, often enough it had been enjoyable. Aubrey had made him an offer that was too good to let down, a little pain for the ultimate pleasure was perfectly fine with him.

Chloe laughed lightly and turned to him. Her smile was soft and seductive as she reached up to gently touch his face with her fingers. Slowly moving her fingers over his mouth. Then let her hand fall back down to her side. She took the rose from him, her hand lingering a little longer then necessary on his hand before putting the rose up to her mouth to hide her smile.
"Oh, do you now?" She started, looking at the rose, "I think it would be rather interesting to get to know you out of training. But in training, I'm sure you'd be better off not knowing me." She lowered the rose and smiled, slightly showing her teeth.
She turned away from him, her back leaning against the railing. She couldn't stop smiling. Chloe just loved attention, and now she was finally getting everything she wanted. It was perfect.
She looked up at the sky, the moon was out. She sighed softly to herself. She wished it wasn't. Chloe hated seeing it. She looked away from the sky. She looked at Kade once more. She felt something in him much like herself. Eagerness. Power. She liked it. But right now, she should be focusing on her training.

Xavier's eyes caught the New one. Suddenly, a sigh of relief escaped his lips. He had thought she would betray him ultimately. If she had turned Shaden, his temper might flare to unimaginable levels. He gracefully walked up to him with a smirk onto his face. His power was new, fresh, untamed. However, with Aubrey's teachings he should be coming along fine.
Welcome to the Family, Kade.
He didn't even need to ask him his name, Aubrey had turned him so once the scents got together, he could virtually read minds. He held a tall glass of wine in his hand, the other buried in his pocket with an expensive watch decorating his wrist. Xavier was waiting on the Arrival of Jacob. He had gotten so powerful, so soon. Plus..He had a surprise for him...

Aubrey's face burned with anger. She watched him walk away from her and out to Kaden and Chloe. She gripped her glass so hard that it broke. Tiny shards of glass littered the floor along with her remaining wine. She hissed. Aubrey stood, while the ushers cleaned up her mess. She watched them scuttle away. She had the strong urge to just kill them all, bu she fought it.
After regaining her composure she walked back out onto the balcony. Soon this was all going to be over. She looked at Kade. He would be polite, he would act as he was told. Her anger seeped from her. They would all be able to feel it.
Aubrey looked out to the city and a soft brush of calm swept through her. Shaden was waiting for her, obviously Xavier did not care if she stayed and humored him so she would leave. A pleased smile spread over her face. She turned and walked to Chloe, kissing her softly on each cheek.
She just looked at Kaden. One of the others would make sure he arrived home. She had already had his rooms prepared for him. She had made no preparations for Shaden's room. He was going to stay in her room.
"Xavier, dear. I think that I will retire now. Tell Jacob I hate that I missed him." She smirked at him not bothering to keep the chill from her tone. She turned and started making her way out. She was eager to get back home.

Jacob's body was hesitant to enter the ballroom, decorated from the outside, and the streaming lights that sneaked through the glass windows evidence of the embellishment that awaited him inside. But even such beauty couldn't take his mind off this day. His entire purpose, and the entire reason for his existence, would all meet a climax this night. A night where the air had been fresher, the atmosphere in general carrying a mystified feeling that implied change. A foreign, yet pleasant, side affect of his enthusiasm, anxiety, and fear.
Jacob took heavy breaths once more and treaded his footsteps along the cobblestone to enter the ballroom. Just as expected it was dimly lit for Jacob's vampire eyes to bear, but not bright enough to simulate the now horrific rays of the sun. The light bulbs were literally glaring at him. These past few days had been trying for him. He was the stealth-man of the black coven, one who struck with quick, deadly, and often fatal force, to the point where few had even realized they had been struck by him. He tried not to cause a scene or stir trouble, for he wanted none, this was all out of loyalty to destiny, the beloved who Xavier promised to resurrect.
It was then when Jacob made his way inside the interior of the ballroom, scanning it with a trained eye, picking up every small detail visible to his naked irises, before trying to locate Xavier, trying to spot him through the crowd, and the visitors he smelt were already on here, somewhere.
