She had to admit that she was nervous, picking at strands of hair that were out of place as she stood in front of the wall length mirror of the dressing room. There were so many sounds and unfamiliar scents coming from the ball room galla that her parents had held that day. They had been planning this moment for years; preparing as much as they could to introduce their youngest daughter to the world of vampires. Viridiana was not as excited as them and would much rather be hiding in the library reading books, but this was important. She was going to be Queen one day and needed to make her debut among those who would one day question her judgement.

She had been warned since first meeting her brothers that someday she would be in the eyes of the public, judged and gazed upon with hungry eyes. Bright blue eyes stared at herself in the mirror, self conscious as she thought of all the eyes that would be on her in only a few short minutes. Oh how she hated the noise, fear of the sheer number of strangers were gathered below waiting to sink their hungry gazes into her. Hopefully none would try to sink their fangs into her; she would hate for it to become a bloodbath on her first day in the public eyes.

Not an hour ago had her mother been reassuring her that there would be several trusted Hunters from the society there to watch out for trouble. It was an agreement that they had been able to come to in order to stop the senseless killing of innocent vampires and humans. The Juran and their serving families would work with the Hunter Society to hunt down unruly vampires who threatened the existence of the whole. It was a strained partnership but it had worked thus far.

Today, she was going to say hello; and she was hella nervous.
