"Finally," May flops on her own bed gratefully.

N laughs, leaning against her door frame. She was so cute. He was curious about her alcohol capacity. Especially since she'd probably be drinking a lot tonight.

"I'm going to go to sleeeeeeeeep," she drags out the word, popping the 'p'.

He laughs again, "You can take a nap, I'll wake you up later."

"Why?"

"I have a surprise."

He leaves without another word, closing her door behind him. He runs down the stairs and into the family room, where the boys are waiting.

"Who's for sure coming?" He asks upon entering. Leo looks up.

"Infinite sunbaenims, they were the first to RSVP," Leo answers, he sounded excited.

"Henry, Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Siwon, Heechul, and Leetuk hyungs confirmed, I don't know about the others," Ken continues for Leo, "All the girls from Girls Generation are coming, although, Taeyeon, Yuri, Yoona, and Tiffany noonas said something about a makeover. I hope they meant for May and not us--"

"Just continue with the list," N sighs, Hyuk picks up where Ken left off.

"GD and Taeyang said yes, and so did the 2NE1 noonas, although Minzy had to cancel. Everybody else is coming with no complications."

"Good," N rubs his hands together eagerly, "Let's go get refreshments!"

Leo volunteers to stay behind to watch May and keep her occupied. They leave after N takes one last look at his sleeping mate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May wakes up alone and hungry. She swings her legs out of bed and creeps out of her room. Or tries to anyway, when the door swings open, revealing Leo. She shrieks a little and backs up, only to trip and fall on her butt. Leo snickers.

*You okay there?* He asks in her mind, offering her a hand. She takes it gratefully and he yanks her up.

*I'll live* Her stomach growls *Although, I am hungry.*

*So I heard. Stay here, I'll be right back.*

True to his word, he's gone and back in seconds. When he comes back, he has two containers of ice cream and two spoons.

*Here* He hands her one of each.

She giggles *Um, Leo, when I said I'm hungry, I meant for food. Not ice cream.*

*I know, but this might be the only time we have to celebrate your birthday alone. It's January, a month later. We have to celebrate eventually.*

*I was serious when I said I didn't want a big deal made of it* May opens the ice cream anyway and eats it.

*You're nineteen, officially an adult. You can do anything you want now, smoke, drink, anything you want.*

She flinches. *He passed the anything limit a while ago.*

*That's not what I...*

May's personal thoughts cut him off. She can almost feel his hands running over her skin again, ripping away her clothes, pinning her in place...

*Suddenly, she is in a large field filled with wild flowers. Somebody taps her shoulder and she sees N behind her, offering her a bouquet of the pretty things. She takes them, confused.

"This is better than those other memories," she hears Leo say, "Don't remember N that way, always think of him like this, as your flower boy."*

The image fades away and she's with Leo again. He is calmly eating his ice cream.

"I didn't know you could do that," she comments, staring at him.

"That's because I usually don't," his voice is soft, "It takes a lot of energy, making somebody see or believe something that's not real."

"Ah," she replies, then hugs him. He seems surprised, but carefully hugs her back. When she pulls away, he looks at her.

"What was that for?" He inquires.

She smiles at the floor, "For wasting your energy on me."

"May, look at me," he tilts her chin up, "You're my closest and oldest friend's mate, you will never be a waste of energy. Any of the boys will agree with me."

"If you say so," she mumbles.

She digs into her ice cream, shoving a huge bite into her mouth. She hear the car door slam outside and looks at Leo.

"N and the others left?"

"Yes, but that's not them. It's some... friends of ours," Leo answers distractedly, launching up and running out of the room.

She follows slowly, hesitating on the stairs at the sound of men's voices. She walks to the door, where seven young men are greeting Leo. Leo seems very enthusiatic about one of them, shaking his hand and bowing several times. One of them notices her.

"Leo, is this May?" He asks, "She's prettier in real life than in the pictures."

She blushes in spite of herself, and looks down at her clothes. She was wearing sweatpants and a tank top. She glances to Leo for help.

"Dong-woo, she has a mate, stop flirting," Leo scolds.

"That was very selfish of N, to take her all for himself," the boy, Dong-woo, answers, reaching over and brushing away a stray hair on her face. She flinches away from his touch.

"Leave the kid alone Dong-woo," the one who Leo was greeting orders.

Dong-woo sighs, moving away, "Such a shame."

"Sorry about him," the boy apologizes, then extends his hand, "I'm Sunggyu."

She takes his hand and bows slightly. Living with the boys for almost a year was paying off. Each of the boys introduce themselves; Woo-hyun, Sungyeol, Myung-soo, Ho-won, and Sung-jong.

"Nice to meet you guys..." She trails off.

*WHY THE HELL IS INFINITE HERE?* she screeches at Leo mentally.

He winces, *N's throwing a comeback party and told us to invite some people. Don't worry, they'll be girls here too.*

*I've lived with you guys for nearly a year now, believe me, that's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried about how you and your guests will act when you're drunk.*

*Werewolves and Vampires have a high tolerance, Spirits can't get drunk, and there's only going to be one human, you.*

*Who are the werewolves and spirits?*

*These guys here are the only spirits. Some members of Super Junior and Girls Generation are coming, they're werewolves. We invited f(x), Twice, Got7, and Shinee, they haven't confirmed yet but they might randomly show up, they're werewolves as well. Nu'est and Orange Carmel are vampires, but I doubt they'll show up, they're both promoting albums right now. But all of Seventeen confirmed about an hour ago, also vampires.*

*That's a lot of people.*

*We've been alive for a while.*

*No shit.*

"So, does May here do ageyo?" Dong-woo asks, interrupting them. He tries to touch her face again, but Sunggyu yanks him back.

She glares while Leo answers, "Sometimes. Although, she probably won't do it for you."

"Why not?" Dong-woo whines.

"Because so far you've proved to be a bit of a bastard," she mutters under her breath, Myung-soo starts laughing. Even Leo cracks a smile, "I'm going back to my room, I'll come down if I need anything."

"N wants you to stay for the party," Leo protests as she turns away.

"I'll come down when he gets back."

She dashes up the stairs and closes the door. Leo and her ice cream is still on the floor. She bends down and finishes hers first, the goes ahead and eats Leo's since he didn't seem inclined to come back for it. After that, she flops back on her bed and goes back to sleep.

A few hours later, N is shaking her awake.

"My May, wake up, we have guests."

"I don't wanna," she mumbles into her pillow.

"Come on, wake up and get changed. I will do it for you..."

"I'm up, I'm up, Jesus," she rolls out of the bed and stumbles over to the dresser. N comes up and hugs her from behind. He rests his head on her shoulder.

"You should wear a dress," he mumbles.

"I'll wear one if you chose and I like it," she answers sarcastically. She felt bad for brushing him off like that, but she wasn't in the mood. He let's her go and walks over to her closet, "There's practically nothing there, I haven't unpacked yet."

'There's something I told Ken not to take out," he responds, "Ah, here it is."

She turns around. He was holding a cute, long sleeved, short, loose, maroon dress. She shakes her head and takes it, giving him a small smile. He smiles back, then hugs her.

"I'll see you downstairs."

He's gone and she changes quickly. She didn't have a mirror in her room, so she sneaks into Hongbin's next door. After touching up her hair, she leaves his room untouched. Downstairs is crowded. Ken and and some other girl see her first.

"Oh my God, Ken is this May?!" The girl squeals, running over pinching May's cheeks, "She looks so mature! Are you sure she's only nineteen?"

May looks at Ken confused. She never told him she was nineteen.

"Yes, I'm sure," Ken laughs. He has a shot glass in one hand, he downs it quickly.

"Ken, are you okay?" She asks skeptically. He looked weird.

"Of course I am," Ken scoffs, "Sunny, this, as you know, is May. May, this is Sunny, she's part of Girls Generation."

"Yeah, hi," May greets, backing away.

She bumps into someone. She turns around and sees a handsome man. Not N handsome, but handsome.

"I'm Bam Bam," he greets, shaking her hand.

"Hi, I'm May," she responds. Bam Bam chuckles.

"Yeah, I know, the boys have spoken of you. But, you look stressed."

"I need to find N..." she pushes past him.

She bumps into a bunch of people who introduced themselves. She couldn't remember who was who, just names. There was Siwon, Heechul, Taeyang, G Dragon, Dara, Seohyun, Sooyoung, Youngjae, Mark, and a bunch of others. Everyone was drinking shots or vodka, whiskey, and other strong drinks straight out of the bottle.

Ravi swings his arm around her shoulders, he smelled disgusting.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He slurs.

"You're drunk," she shoves him away, "Drink some coffee."

*Leo, where the hell are you?*

He's by her side as soon as she thinks it. He's with Sunggyu, who, unlike him, is sober.

*What's wrong?* Even in her head, his words were mixed together. It gave her a headache.

*I thought you said that vampires and werewolves had a high tolerance?!*

*Relax, we aren't that drunk. We still have total control of our bodies.*

He reaches for her shoulders and misses, tripping past her and falling on his face. She looks at Sunggyu, he shrugs and picks Leo up. He looks at her with pleading eyes. She sighs.

"I'll go make some coffee."

She walks into the kitchen and turns on all the burners on the gas stove, putting a pot of water on each one. When it boils, she filters the ground beans through. After she's satisfied there's enough to go around, she turns off the stove and pours them into mugs. On her way out, she runs into Hongbin. He wasn't drunk, but judging by the bottle in his hand, he was trying.

"Give me that," she grabs the bottle out of his hands and tosses it into the sink. It shatters.

"What'd you do that for?" He asks, pushing her out of the way.

"I need at least one of you to be sober," she replies, pushing him out of the way, "Do you know where N is?"

"He was drinking last I saw--" he is cut off by loud music beginning to blast. She throws her hands in the air, grabs her sneakers, and walks out the door, away from the awful stench and sound. It was chilly outside, but she didn't care. The party had to end soon anyway, she'd come back when it did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

N stumbles around, searching for May. He wanted to know if she was having fun. Through the maze of scents, he smells her distinctly. His vampire instincts take over and follows the trail.... out the door. He hisses, his mind only knew one thing: his mate had run away from him. He screeches and runs after her.

After a few seconds, he sees her sillouete through the trees. The hem of the dress she was wearing was wrapped around her knees, she was sitting on the shore of the lake. He growls and jumps toward her, tackling her as she turns around. At first she looked happy to see him, until she saw his eyes. He knew they were red. She fights against him.

"You ran," he hisses.

"You're drunk," is her response, her voice is weak, "N, you're drunk, this isn't you. Please, get off me and we can go home together..."

He backhands her and feels something crack. His human side was screaming at him to stop, he was hurting her, but his vampire instinct said she needed to be punished for trying to run.

He licks her face, he tastes salt. She was crying. For some reason, he doesn't care. He continues to lick her, his tongue trailing down her neck to her collarbone. He stops over the scars, showing where he marked and Claimed her as his. N's fangs unsheath themselves. He blows along the wet trail of saliva he left. She shivers and try to push him off. He grabs her wrists and yanks them above her head, something in her shoulder pops. He hears her whimper, but he doesn't care.

"Maybe you've forgotten who you belong to," he hisses, "I need to Claim you again don't I?"

Her dark eyes widen and she shakes her head frantically.

"HELP!" She shrieks, "HE--"

He shuts her up by wrapping his free hand around her throat, squeezing brutally. She chokes, he only stops when her face gets too red. After she catches her breath, he sinks his fangs into the warm flesh on top of her collarbone. She cries out in pain, arching her back. Slowly, she relaxes, eventually almost purring and begging him to continue. He stops and looks at her. Her eyes were hazy.

"You like that," he hisses seductively, "You want more?"

She starts to nod, then shakes her head frantically. He smirks, "Rhetorical question."

"Stop," she begs.

He reaches under her dress and yanks down her panties. He forces her to straddle him and and undoes the button on his jeans. The human in him is pleading with him to stop. But his vampire is screaming she needs to be punished. She whimpers, then he is thrown off of her. He is on the ground and she pulls her underwear back on. He is lying on the ground, shocked into not moving. She goes over to him and crouches. She buttons up his jeans and then looks at him in the eye.

"I'm not sure what just happened and I don't want to know," she whispers, caressing his face. Her irises are pure gold, no trace of black, "But know this; I didn't run away. I needed a break from the party and the smell, so I stepped outside. I could still smell and hear it until I got here. So here is where I stopped. Haekyeon, I would never run away from you, don't doubt it."

"What did you call me?"

Shr doesn't answer. Instead, she does something unexpected. She leans over and kisses him on the lips. When she pulls back, she says one last thing.

"You are my mate, I love you and only you."

She collapses. The human part of him overpowers his vampire instinct. He looks and her in shame, picks her up, and takes her home.
