Beautiful? Is that even a possible adjective to explain a vampire? When you're talking about him, then yes it is.

After a few seconds of being completely breathless, my lungs finally capture enough air for me to breath a small "hi" to Master.

His small grin almost knocked out all my breath again, but I quickly shook it off and curtsied in an awkward way, keeping my eyes darted to his shoes. They shined more than the sun and his black slacks clung to his perfectly shaped legs. They hung low as if they were a tad too big, but his black leather belt kept them in place.

Everything about him seemed perfect in the moment and I had no idea why I felt this way towards him. Just a second ago I didn't want to see him at all and now I find myself wanting to jump into his arms.

"You look very beautiful, Ellie." He says while holding out his hand for me to grasp.

My eyes moved from the ground and only to his hand. I moved one foot in front of the other very carefully, bringing me closer to him. The familiar scent of his cologne ignites my senses and I take a quick whiff without him knowing.

"You too..." I mumble all too quietly.

"What?" He leans down closer to my face and I feel my stomach drop from his close embrace.

"Uhh, you look beautiful too. Well, I mean not beautiful, um handsome...You look nice..nice." My words fumble out of my mouth as he wraps his arm into mine.

"Don't be so nervous." He stammers and I lightly scowl at his small attitude. He pulls me in tighter as we begin to walk out of the door. He shuts it with his foot before pulling me along the hallway towards the elevator.

The loud clang of my high heels is the only sound echoing through the small corridor and I feel a small tension in the space where our sides are touching.

"We are taking the stairs." He demands as I go to push the button. I mumble an "oh" before he pulls me away from the elevator and towards the stairs.

He gracefully takes each step with ease while on the other hand, I stammer one foot down before waiting a second to move the other one. He held onto my hand the whole time and luckily he patiently waited for me to complete the set of stairs.

In one loud boom, music started blasting throughout the entire place and I jump back startled causing Harry to chuckle beside me.

"The party has started."

"Oh."

We continued to walk and soon we reached the railing that stopped us from falling down to the main ballroom. My eyes scanned the beautifully set up decorations. Leather couches were set along the some parts of the corners while a tall bar was placed in the back corner. Ruby was right about the amount of people. There wasn't much, which was pretty nice. The floor didn't seem so crowded. Only about fifteen people were in the center slowly swaying with their partner along with the music. Most of the other people were sitting at the bar and others on the couches, reminiscing with each other.

Everyone was dressed so elegant and beautiful, it was almost like a dream.

The light was dim and when I looked up to Harry after taking in the wonderful party I could only see the outline of his face.

"C'mon, let's go." He lightly commands.

I quickly oblige and walk along the small loft while holding onto the railing. Every once and awhile I would glance down to the bottom floor and admire it.
