"I have to go back now, but sure you can help." Jackson offered her a small smile and made his way into the ballroom again. He picked up his clipboard and scanned it over. He looked up as if he suddenly remembered something. "Oh yeah. Do you want my tie to match your dress?"

Moka nodded and followed him into the ballroom and took his clipboard from him checking over it herself. "Well veronica don't want me to give you any details on my dress so I cant really tell you what color it is so your tie can match sorry. But I guess that you can just wear your favorite color." She said shrugging as she noticed that something from the list was missing. "Your missing the gold balloons that are suppose to be by the main entrance and on here the catering company was suppose to call you by 5 to finalize the menu but it is 5:06 at the moment. Tardyness is not acceptable for an event such as this." She said smirking and handed the clipboard back to him.

"Okay then." Jackson replied as he let his gaze wander around the vast room. His eyes snapped to the clipboard when Moka mentioned the things that were missing. He frowned in annoyance. "Richard!" he shouted at the vampire who immediately appeared beside him. "Where are the gold balloons?" "T-They're being inflated, Sir." Richard stuttered nervously, still shaken about the tiger incident. "Good." Jackson waved for him to leave and whipped out his phone from his pocket. "You are very right, my dear. I should never have relied on a human catering company, their service is painstakingly slow but unfortunately I must say that their food is the most suitable for my guests." Just as he was about to type in a number, his phone began to ring and he glanced at the caller ID which identified the caller as the same company. After a moment of talking - or yelling - into the phone about the order he had placed and the delivery address, he hung up and checked over the writing on the clipboard again to make sure that everything else was in place. "How lucky I am to have your assistance, Moka."

"Heheh well I was the president of my class back in high school. Somebody had to plan all those events based on the schools budget and whatnot. Oh that reminds me thati have to learn that speech for my class graduation in the upcoming weeks...awww it's gonna take forever. But that also remind me that I wanted to invite you and veronica to my graduation! Sure it's during the day but we will be inside of the school so you guys should be ok. Ooooo I hope I got accepted into my dream college, I better go check my email when I get back upstairs, and hopefully find my phone " Moka rambled as she took the clipboard from him once more. "And there's one last thing that you forgot to do on here....sleep" she said smirking as she began to lazily tug him away. "I will not have my date falling asleep in the middle of a dance, you can leave it to Martha to finish up here

"Nope, but thank you. We could do with some of your baking though," Jackson said to Hanna, smelling cake all over her. He looked at Moka sadly as she talked of her high school and let her drag him away. "I'm afraid it's either us or your graduation; your old life." he said, being straightforward about it.

Moka looked up at jackson seeing his sad face and looked at him with a frown. "What do you mean? I cam have both can't I? I can just attend my graduation regularly and still live with you guys." She said as she stopped at her room to retrieve her phone that she hadn't touched in about 2 months and came back out with it to resume dragging jackson back to their room. Once she turned her phone on it suddenly buzzed to life as she receiver message after message for the whole trip up to the third floor all titled with "farewell", "R.I.P", or something of the similar. She stopped at the door of their room had let go of the texts to read the messages and most were saying that they will miss her and hope that she went to a better place. better place? she questioned and went onto her email. The first thing she say was an email from a college...The one she dreamed of going to! And as she read it further she found out that it was an acceptance letter but once she looked at the date of it her smile slowly dropped. It was sent almost two months ago so she dared to check her more recent emails and just like her texts they were all wishing her happiness in heaven and that they will all miss her. Even her dream college that had sent her and acceptance email saying that they wish to have such an outstanding student there and that it was sad for a brilliant mind such as hers to go, below that it said that her application was now null and void. Desperate for answers she went only and typed in her name and on the side showed her date of birth....but also her date of death making her gasp. they...they think I'm dead? she clicked on her date of death to pull up her own death certificate online to see that after a month of searching for her they eventually declared her as murdered/kidnapped and to close the case they pronounced her as dead a little over a month ago...not believe in what she had red she slid down the door onto the floor and just stared at her screen. "What other life..."

Jackson crouched down so he was at her level and took one of her hands in his own. "Just remember, we're still here for you. We'll always be here." he murmured softly. Her emotions rolled off her in waves and flooded his mind with painful memories. There was a time when he felt like this too, but that was in the past. I'm sorry, he wanted to say, but 'sorry' never did anything. This would never have happened if he hadn't imprisoned her in the first place. But then what was to become of him and the other vampires? Exposed to the human world. Vulnerable to hunters. Memory-erasing spells caused great torment and trauma, so that wasn't an option unless he wanted to send a bunch of maniacal teenagers back to the town. Jackson let out a sigh and picked Moka up in his arms, carrying her inside and setting her down on the bed.

Crystal-"im sorry,but I don't.I also never have been on a date...besides I don't even have a date"

[chromatic.]

Moka just nodded and turned her phone off as jackson picked her and carried her into the room. "I don't regret it...." she said as he laid her down. "Meeting you guys and everything is probably the best thing that ever happened to me. Maybe it was for the best." She said shrugging as she pulled jackson down onto the bed next to her. "I hope you don't mind but I told veronica that you like to cuddle people on your sleep." She said smiling and lightly flicking him on the nose. "Along with other things....she will most likely be having a sleep over with us some time after the ball."
