Serena listened to the girl sob, exclaiming about everything she had hated in the relationship with Jace. Serena didn't say anything, not knowing how she could help. However, when Anna looked up at her and thanked her for not judging her, Serena smiled. She didn't know how she could judge her. Sure, the fact that she chose to do the very thing Serena ran from but that wasn't worth basing an entire person off of. It didn't take long for Serena to break down, till she was practically begging to be bitten. How was that any different. Serena had let people feed off of her for far longer than Anna had and it was only for a short while that she had hated it. She nodded, "Do not worry about it..."

Then Anna was asleep on her lap. Serena sighed a little and took off her mask, that she had just realized she had left on. She placed it beside her and ran her hand through her hair, something she rarely did these days. She placed a shaking hand on Anna's head and slowly started to pet her, trying to calm her in her sleep.

Gunner stopped when Sebastian grabbed his arm. He turned and looked at his friend and kind of got a flash back to when he had gone and yelled at him to go get Anya. He shook his head, this wasn't going to be as easy... They wouldn't get into this relationship with bright futures... Even if things were cut short for Anya and Sebastian, they could imagine getting married, having kids. All that was hearsay or impossible for him and Anna. Despite that, he found himself pushing Sebastian, "When did you become the love guru?"

He walked back toward the dance, not really knowing where to go. Until he spotted Anna's blinding white dress and Serena sitting with the girl's head in her lap. Serena looked up at him when he approached, "Are you going to be nice?" she asked.

Gunner laughed a little and nodded, "Terribly... I have to make up for somethings... May I?" He asked as he crouched down. Serena nodded and Gunner lifted Anya off the ground, pulling her into his arms. Serena looked up at him, "She is going to be shakey... and scared... So you better be very nice.... Or I will punch you again."

Gunner smiled, "And we don't want that," He looked between his friends, "I'm going to take her to her room... You guys go enjoy yourselves."

He then walked off and was about halfway to Anna's room when he realized he didn't have anyway of getting in. Changing course, he went to his own room. Well, at least this way he could stay with her without freaking out Niya. He placed on his bed when he reached his room. He sat on the edge and took off her bracelet. He sighed as he looked at the scarring on her wrist... He should have punched Jace a hell of a lot sooner.

Serena was still shaking when she stood. She gave Sebastian a small smile, "Care to dance?"
