Adelinda looked around at the group of Shelly's friends.  She wore a sweet smile on her face that could warm almost any heart.  She had no idea that her older brother was still alive, let alone here at this very party, in this very group of friends.  She had been left for dead by her father on one of his drunken outbursts and found by a vampire that had been watching her for some time by that point.  He saved her life by turning her into a vampire promising her the world, but giving her nothing.<br/><br/>He had been as bad as her father.  He demanded that she do everything that he wanted, just the way that he wanted it, or he would beat her severely.  One day though she finally collapsed under the abuse and killed him.  She pretty much ripped his head off and then burned him.  She had felt so betrayed by that point that she trusted no man what so ever.  She would have still trusted her brother if she'd known that he was alive, because he'd always protected her when he could.  They had always been very close and she carried a picture of a portrait that the family had had done of Alec and Adelinda in a gold locket around her neck.<br/><br/>She spoke in almost perfect english though her German accent made it obvious from what country she'd been bored.  A lot of the friends were staring at her because she looked very similar Alec, though she was paler than he was as her hair was, and she had softer features, on to of being a bit shorter than he was.  She kept her smile untill her eyes fell upon Alec.  She just froze, the smile falling because she wasn't completely sure what to feel.
