Elise worked quickly, cleaning the bite with a disinfectant wipe and bandaging it. Who was she kidding? None of the other vampires were going to be fooled. She was dead meat when the founders learned bout…the founders and Remmus. She was sun fodder, no doubt.  She tried to concentrate on what Max was saying, keeping her mind off of her soon-to-be fate.<br/><br/>"Music carried a lot of weight to it. It helps many people in many different ways." Then he looked into her eyes and complimented her dancing, followed by that smile of his and she felt herself smile in return. Oh, yes. This boy had to have melted hearts in the past. "Thank you," she replied softly. She knew that while she had a talent for dancing as well as the study and the heart for it, she also had an enhanced grace that came with her curse.<br/><br/>Elise chuckled slightly. "I am surprised that you remember anything past your zombie haze." She allowed Max to take her hand and lead her up the stairs towards their class. The moment they passed by the first student, Elise became hyper aware of Max's hand. She thought about pulling away, but what was the point? She was cooked anyway. What was a little scandal to go along with it? She smiled at Max as he held the door for her and took her own seat in the classroom. Her own relief was that most of the students were still set on staring at Max. Her horror was that she knew they would see the bandage and understand. What she had been set to protect, she ended up being the danger to.
