It was true that during many moments throughout the night, Celeste had been scared and anxious; however, she was not feeling any of those at this moment. Maybe it was due to the exhaustion she was beginning to feel, but more than being afraid of Mei, she was thankful to the Chinese woman. 

Feeling Mei's lips on her cheek, the green-eyed girl closed her eyes. Her cheeks turned red both because of the kiss and because she had remembered how aroused she had felt when Mei was about to bite her neck earlier that night. 

She took a deep breath before opening her eyes. The more Mei talked the more the young woman became aware how kind the vampire next to her really was. A sweet expression appeared on the girl's visage as her host explained that not all vampires were evil. 

As Mei had finished talking, Celeste's gaze switched to the man that had made her heart beat fast since the moment she saw him at the party. Perhaps it was just her imagination, but from the moment they met each other again before entering the cabin, the brown-haired girl had felt utter disdain emanating from Nero. 

[i]"Here we go again, Celeste...falling for another bad boy that will only break your heart in the end..." [/i], she reprimanded herself. [i]"When will you learn silly girl? But..." She paused for a moment. "Maybe it is not that he is a bad boy...maybe he hates me...". [/i]

Her being human was enough reason to dislike her but she had to wonder if there was also another reason why the black-haired man seemed to dislike her that much. 

[i]"I know...I am a human...and that I am an intruder in this house...but..I wish he would not look at me with such contempt"[/i]. A sad and deep sigh escaped her rosy lips. Turning her eyes from Nero, she looked at Anton and Petra. [i]" I mean...they are also vampires and they don't seem to hate me as much as he does..."[/i] 

Her gloomy and worried expression was interrupted by a delicate yawn which she covered with her right hand. [i]"What time is it now?"[/i] She turned around, her eyes looking for a clock in the room. [i]"I guess I'll check the time on my cell phone..."[/i] It was then that Celeste realized that her evening bag was nowhere to be found.
