Aurora listened to music while she sat drawing, nodding her head to the slow beat as she did so.

She looked up when the sound was suddenly stopped. Jane stood over the radio, finger on the power button.

"Why did you do that?" Aurora asked with a frown. "That was good song."

Jane said nothing as she sat down next to Aurora looking at the drawing. "It's very good."

Aurora rolled her eyes, "Why'd you shut the music off?"

Jane ran her fingers over the lines of the drawing while she spoke. "I don't like music, it's pointless."

Auroras mouth dropped in shock, she took the paper and threw it onto the nightstand looking to Jane. "How is it pointless?"

"It serves no purpose, it's just there, like Demetri." She grinned, trying to stop the conversation.

The wall shared between their room and Demetri and Felix's was banged upon. They paused, hearing a shout, "I CAN HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW."

"Serves no purpose?" Aurora echoed, ignoring the sounds of Felix scolding Demetri for putting a dent in the wall. "It's for dancing!"

"I can't dance." Jane boredly said.

"Everyone can dance, they just have to follow a lead." Aurora retorted, standing up and walking to the radio, pressing the power button. "I'll show you."

She walked over to Jane and grabbed her hand, pulling her to the center of the room. "Just follow my lead."

"Do you even know how to lead?" Jane asked, smiling at her mate's excitement.

"Pass me that lovely little gun. My dear, my darling one."

Aurora shook her head as she spun Jane, "Nope! I making this up as I go along."

"The cleaners are coming, one by one."

"So we aren't doing it right?" Jane raised an eyebrow as they swayed to the music, completely out of rhythm.

"Probably not," admitted Aurora. She paused for a moment, titling her head up, "Demetri!!!"

"You don't even want to let them start."

Instantly, the blonde vampire was in the room, Felix boredly trailing behind him. "If this is about the wall-"

"They are knocking now upon your door."

Aurora cut him off, "Do you know how to dance?"

Demetri blinked in surprise. He turned to Felix, who shrugged, just as confused. "I suppose yes."

"They measure the room, they know the score."

Aurora smiled, "Good, teach us." She grabbed Demetri, pulling him to the center of the room. "Felix, you any good?" He shrugged, "You take Jane."

"They're mopping up the butcher's floor."

Felix crossed the floor, standing beside Jane. Her head barely reached his shoulders, "I don't think this'll work."

"Go get Alec," Demetri shrugged, "He's probably just in his room staring at a wall." He shrunk at Jane's glare.

"Of your broken little hearts."

Demetri grabbed Aurora's hands, forcing them to the height of his chest. "Don't try too hard, kid."

Aurora scowled at him, noting Felix walking back in with Alec. "You're only what, two years older?"

"Give or take a few hundred years."

"He's an old man," Felix said, flicking Demetri in the back of the head.

Demetri ignored him, guiding Aurora to the music. Felix shoved Alec toward Jane.

"O Children."

Aurora shouted in surprise as Demetri dipped her, "Watch it!"

Demetri grinned, twirling her, "Don't look so jealous, Jane. Aurora is about as straight as Marcus is happy."

"Don't disrespect our master," Jane warned, her voice steady. Alec was kicking her feet, trying to move them from their spot.

"O Children. Lift up your voice."

"You have to move, sister." Demetri snorted, "Here, we'll switch. Aurora takes Jane." He dropped her arms, placing a hand on her back and shoving her forward.

"I am not dancing with you, Demetri."

"I'm deeply wounded, Alec."

Aurora sat in her hotel room alone later that evening. Jane was out finding food so Alec paid her a visit in his sister's absence.

"Hey, Alec. What brings you to my room? Are you looking for Jane? She's out hunting."

Alec shook his head, sitting next to the girl with a smile. "I wanted to thank you, actually."

Aurora quirked an eyebrow at that, "Thank me?"

Alec nodded, "I'm glad Jane has you." He told her. "You bring out a side that only I seem to see. Sometimes Felix or Demetri see it, but thats once every few years. I'm thankful she has someone else she can be this way with."

Aurora smiled back at him as Jane stalked into the room. "You're welcome, Alec." She grimaced as Jane wiped blood off her mouth.

Alec got up to leave, nodding his head in greeting to Jane, who smiled slightly at him, before turning to Aurora. "I checked up on the newborns. They are awfully untrained."

"I'm still a newborn, technically. I'm kind of untrained." Aurora recalled.

"Yes, but those newborns will not survive. You, however, I promised nothing would happen to, and I plan to stick to it."

"Though I doubt it means much, I promise to protect you too."

Jane nodded, making her way to the door of the bathroom to change, "Jane?"

She stopped and faced her mate.

"I love you." Aurora told her nervously.

"I love you too." Was Jane's reply, before she opened the bathroom door and walked in, shutting it behind her.

Highly recommend listening to the song "O Children" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, as that's what I imagine them dancing to.
