With the hint of a smirk on his lips Lysimachus entered the huge castle of Dracula. A lot of vampires were already there and having fun. They danced, talked, drank and ate whatever they found at the buffet

Some people turned around to look at him as he walked past them wearing a formal outfit in black and red and looking all handsome. His black hair was perfectly styled, the sides trimmed just as his dark stubbled beard.

His dark eyes scanned the crowd but Vlad seemed to not be there yet. Lysimachus smirked. Of course he would attend his own party fashionably late and let them all wait. 

Other then that he only knew a few faces but not very well. 

He sighed as he made his way to where the drinks were. Again he sighed. There wer the finest wines, champagne, whiskey and other fancy kind of drinks. But where was his good cold beer? Lysimachus rolled his eyes and mumbled something about rich people. 

He was just about to grab a glas of wine as a servant walked up behind him.

“Is something amiss, sir?”, he asked politely with folded hands.

Lysimachus turned around to him.

“Excuse me, you don’t happen to have a cold bottle of beer?”, the Egyptian man asked with a slight accent.

“We might have some in the storage but Mr. Tepes wanted to only have the good drinks up here.”, the servant explained.

“I don’t care. Just bring me some. Please.”, he answered.

“As you wish, sir.”

The servant bowed and made his way to the storage to bring Lysimachus his beer.

With his hands in his pockets Lysimachus watched the crowd again. A group of young ladys looked back at him and giggled. He smiled and winked at them before he looked further around the room until the girls stood right in front of him.

“Good evening, we thought you might like some company.”, one of the girls greeted him with a sheepish smile.

“Would you like to dance with us?”, another girl asked.

Lysimachus smiled playfully as he grabbed the bottle of beer the servant finally brought him along with more bottles that were placed on the table beside all the other drinks.

With a skilled move of his thumb he opened it and took a long sip.

“Why not. Lead the way, ladys.”, he answered.

The women giggled again and put their arms around his to drag him to the dancefloor. 

Together they danced for a while. Sometimes other young men and women would join them mostly because they wanted to get close to Lysimachus. It always amused him how people tried too hard to get close to him and it was kind of fun to play along a little. 

His eyes scanned the crowd another time until they fell on a woman. He took a swig of his beer as he looked her up and down. She was really beautiful and he could sense that there was something special about her. 

After taking another swig he excused himself and danced his way to the woman. Lysimachus felt that she was human but she didn’t look like the one’s he could feed on. Not that he would do that anyways. Many years ago he stopped drinking humans blood. Instead he would hunt down animals and drink their blood. It weakened him that was no question but it get’s the job done. 

Their eyes met as she saw him coming realizing he was coming straight for her. She had beautiful brown eyes and wore a gorgeous black dress. Her red hair went down to her shoulders in slight waves and framed her face beautifully. 

“Excuse me, Miss, I couldn’t help but to admire your beauty. You don’t mind to grant me a dance do you?”, Lysimachus said a bit like a gentleman. 

Lucy blushed at his compliment and wiped a strand of hair behind her ear.

She looked in his deep brown eyes and saw a familiarity in them like she must know him but she couldn’t tell who he was. 

“Of course, I’d like to dance.”, she said and took his hand.

Lysimachus smiled and pulled her a little closer as he laid his free hand on her waist.

First they moved in silence until the vampire spoke up.

“You’re here all alone?”

“No, I’m with my friends.”

“Your friends? Humans?”

“Vampires actually.”

“Huh, that makes me curious.”, Lysimachus said.

“It’s a long story. But it means you will have to kill them first if you wanted my blood.”, Lucy answered.

Lysimachus laughed at that.

“Don’t worry, Miss…”

“Lucy.”

“Miss Lucy… I’m not after your blood. I’m just here to dance with you.”

The human smiled relaxing a little in his arms.

“I already thought you were a creep trying to flatter and seduce me until you can drink my blood.”, Lucy joked.

Lysimachus smirked and let her make a twirl before he pulled her close to him again.

“You should try Vlad Tepes then.”

“Or Priya Lacroix… and ew.. Lester.”

“Ah, so you know New York’s council. You’re from there?”

“Yes, two… no, now three council members are my friends. Do you know them?”

“No, I have heard one or two things but I don’t really care about them or the Five of Japan. I try to avoid those. It’s much better… quieter where I live.”

“Where are you from?”, Lucy asked curiously while she smelled his pleasant scent of sandalwood with a hint of jasmin.

“Egypt. I have a modest little house in Alexandria, a garage to fix cars and other vehicles and a bunch of stray cats visiting me.”, he chuckled at the last words.

“Egypt? Really? Isn’t it way too hot for you?”

“No, well, yes it would be. But I have one or two tricks up my sleeve to survive in the sun.”, he said with a wink.

“Did you say in the sun?”

Lysimachus only chuckled.

“One of my friends is from Egypt. Maybe you know her.”

“We are only a handful so maybe… Would be strange though. I know that none of them is in New York. Would you tell me her name?”

Lucy was just about to answer him as the music stopped and the crowd turned to the great staircase where a fine dressed man with long black hair came down. 

“Ah, and here comes the host himself.”, Lysimachus said with a grin.

“They dance a little too close, don’t you think?”, Kamilah stated with a frown as she watched Lucy dancing with a stranger.  

Lily followed her gaze and grinned.

“Well, he’s hot and all. There’s nothing wrong with having fun.”

Kamilah’s expression hardened even more which Lily noticed.

“Kamilah? Are you jealous?”, Lily teased her which earned her a glare from the ancient vampire. 

“No, I just want her to be careful!”, Kamilah denied.

“Suuuuure. That’s why you’re all moody watching her from afar?”

“I don’t do jealousy! Where’s Adrian? I want to dance and see if I can get closer. Just in case she needs our help!”, Kamilah said walking away. 

Lily turned around to look at an amused Jax. They broke into laughter and highfived each other.
