Chapter Eighteen

"Gentlemen, please let Lady Elissa out." She sighed and they turned to her, still blocking you from getting out.

"Lady Elissa is under strict protective detail for tonight's ball. I'm afraid without Quentin, we can't allow her to leave. It's for her own safety." One of them explained and it made you want to burst into tears that this had become your life. Aidou put a hand on your shoulder from behind you, he gave you a reassuring small smile.

"I said, let her out right now." The woman's energy grew dark and the men fell on the floor instantly. She pulled you outside and you took in a deep breathe of the fresh air.

"Thank you for dealing with them... I really could do with the air." You thanked her. This could be it, you could take this oppurtunity.

"Oh don't mention it! Us girls have to help each other out right?" She smiled sweetly at you, causing you to smile and nod back. "Oh, I just remembered you don't actually know who I am do you?"

"No, I don't."

"My name is Sara. Sara Shiribuki, I'm the Head of the family." She explained and you nodded.

"Sara. That's a pretty name." You smiled at her and she chuckled.

"Thank you."

A couple of minutes went by all filled by silence until Aidou spoke up, "Are you getting cold? Kaname will be worried if he can't see you-"

"Kaname? I thought you were with Quentin? You both came in together and I assumed-"

"Kaname is my fiancé, he always has been. I just happened to be spending the day with Quentin today." You made a lie up. Then you thought about it, why would you lie to another that could help you?

"Oh, I see... That is probably why Kaname never seemed interested in anyone romantically in the past. Nobody knew he had you and your sister." She stated and you looked at her, she was staring off at the night sky without a hint of emotion on her face.

"Well I'm sure he had his temptations... I mean, you're beautiful... Who wouldn't want to be with you?" You scoffed a little laughing softly.

"Yes, who wouldn't... Kaname wouldn't." She sighed and you felt awkward just standing near her suddenly.

"Um... Sara, do you have feelings for Kaname?..." you dreaded even asking but when she looked at you with a unhappy look your suspicions confirmed itself.

"I'm sorry, but I do. I've tried to stay away Elissa... But I just can't. He's a close friend and a love interest. I hope you don't hate me, I would never try to go between your relationship with him. I plan on working past my feelings." She sighed and you let out a breath of relief you didn't even know you were holding.

"Lady Elissa!" You turned and saw Ichijo walking towards you and then noticed you weren't alone. "Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting anything." He bowed in respect to Sara.

"Not at all, what's wrong Ichijo?" You questioned growing a little concerned at his state. His face full of worry.

"We can't find Yuuki." He stated and your heart sunk to your stomach. Your breathing hitched and you felt a hand on your back. You looked over to see Sara with a concerned look on her face.

"Elissa? Are you alright?" She asked and you regained your composure and nodded.

"Yes, sorry to worry you. Let's go find her." You looked to Ichijo who nodded with Aidou.

"I'll be sure to let you know if I see her Elissa." Sara smiled at you as you thanked her and walked back inside. Ichijo escorted you back inside with Aidou. You stood on the staircase to try and find her. You saw Quentin mingling with other vampires, Kaname was near as well.

"Where's Zero?" You asked and they looked around for him.

"That is a good question." Ichijo stated quietly and you shook your head.

"If Yuuki is with Zero then she is safe. He would never hurt her." You told them with confidence. Soon after you spotted Yuuki in the crowd in a corner. You immediately bolted over towards the corner with the two boys following you.

The vampires who saw you coming made room for you to get past, but as you grew closer the vampires didn't move. You grew impatient.

"If you do not move away from my sister I will have no choice but to force my way in and that is something you don't want me to do." You warned them with a serious tone to your voice. They all took heed of the warning and move away instantly. Yuuki looked up to you and came to your side as you pulled her away from them. She had apparently been answering their questions and they had gotten too close for comfort. So when you appeared she was quite relieved.

You walked with her to Kaname who was standing with Quentin which made you regret your decision to not find Zero instead. Kaname saw your face and tucked you at his side before Quentin could. Yuuki was standing next to you as you wouldn't let her get near Quentin afraid of what he would do.

"I say it's probably about time we all had some family time don't you think?" Quentin provoked Kaname but he didn't bite.

"Yes I agree." Yuuki commented and shocked you all. Quentin chuckled and nodded to her. "I think it's time we all play nice with one another." She lowered her voice and Quentin smirked at Kaname. Quentin moved towards Kaname and whispered in his ear.

"Even your other sister decides that it's time to give up." He laughed out after and pulled you to him, Kaname still processing what he had said.

"Excuse us, we've got to greet other vampires before we leave." Quentin said causing your heart rate to pick up slightly. You weren't ready to leave, but you had no other choice.

Quentin pulled you away from them and you looked at them with sad eyes. Aidou and Ichijo was about to move forward to get you when some vampires immediately blocked their path to you. You felt like you were being ripped away from them all over again.

Quentin's grip on you had intensified again causing you to hiss out in pain under your breath. "Quentin, you're hurting me." You whined and he released his grip a little relieving you of the pain. You looked at him shocked he'd actually done that. "Thank you." You whispered and he looked down at you.

"Like I said earlier, I'm not a beast and I can be reasoned with." He said and you sighed.

Thinking of the bracelet you looked up at him again, "Is that the reason why you have attached a hunters relic to me that can kill me?"

Your words made him stop walking and look at you with wide eyes. "How do you know what it is? Wait- let me guess. Kaname told you?" He questioned and you nodded.

"I'm not going to be a mindless puppet for you Quentin." You told him with narrowed eyes at him, he laughed at your comment and started walking again.

"My dear, that isn't the plan for you," He said and your bodyguards met you and Quentin at the bottom of the stairs. "I think you've had enough of this party. You two, take her home and do not let her out of her room." He told them passing you to them causing you to fight against them. He then put his hand to your forehead and before you knew it, you lost consciousness.

Thank you for reading.
I quite like writing about Quentin, he's fun to write dialogue for. Do you guys like him? Even if it's just a little bit?;)
So what do you is going to happen now?
