    Swaying back and forth as Bill had drained his sixth glass of blood that a young waitress had brought him and he was already seeking out his seventh one as he forced his way through the crowds on the crowded dance floor as the music bellowed from the speakers on the courtyard that was located towards the back of the Casino, it seemed Felipe had catered for all vampires and human entertainment, some dressed in hip hop gear and many dressed in floor length ball gowns that glittered from the glimmering disco lights that shone brightly around him as he found it hard to focus on anything as the room became blurry and unfocused as he continued to stumble into tables. His feet seeming to have a mind of their own and he stumbled over a chair leg and fell onto a table and knocked over the drinks and empty glasses as they shattered on the floor as voices became unrecognizable and muffled as though he was surrounded by a sea of water, his eyes unable too see the faces of all those who passed him. As his speech became ramblings of apologizing to those he knocked and bumped into to. He could see a glass filled with blood on a nearby waiter's tray as he swiped the glass from the tray as he spun as his hips swayed to the beat of the music, unable to make out any of the words that was sung. As he swayed onto the courtyard dance floor, there was dancers on stilts serving human cocktails.

    Now standing in a crowded courtyard under a marquee he could hear a muffled voice announce that karaoke was about to start as he drained his seventh glass of blood he stumbled towards the front of the crowd and somehow managed to pull himself up onto a small stage and find a microphone that was sat on top of a small speaker and as the man controlling the music thought that he was a drunk bystander he hit play to start the music as Bill fumbled around with his black dress coat and unbuttoned it so that it hung by bis sides as he raised the microphone to his mouth as the music started to play. Large screens playing the music video to the song that was now starting on the speakers were now being played as Bill began to sing for the very first time.

    "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, *hiccup* Drifting through the wind, Wanting to start again? *hiccup* Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin, Like a house of cards, One blow from caving in?" he swayed on the stage as one of crowd jumped up to help steady him as he wrapped his arm around the strangers shoulder as Bill held the microphone between them as they continued to sing the words to a song he didn't know, but yet for some reason he did.

    "Do you ever feel already buried deep? 6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing,*hiccup* Do you know that there's still a chance for you, *hiccup* Cause there's a spark in you" his words began to slur from his lips as his eyes became even more hazed as he tried to focus on something in the distance, he thought he could see Kiara standing watching him as the music came to an interlude as he tried to regain his focus on her, although he couldn't be sure it was her, but he tried to focus himself on the lyrics as he wanted to sing this song to her.

    "You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine, Just own the night like the 4th of July" *hiccup* "Cause baby you're a firework. Come on, show 'em what you're worth. Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh", As you shoot across the sky-y-y"

    As the words slid of his lips he could heard fireworks lighting from behind him as though on key as the song went once again to an interlude as he turned to catch a glimpse of the changing colors of the firework display behind him as the color reflected in his eyes.

    Boom, boom, boom *he seemed to loose his speech as the man beside him continued on singing to the jumping crowds Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon. It's always been inside of you, you, you. And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

    Bill had passed the microphone to the stranger that had been singing on stage with him as his head had begun to feel really dizzy and almost sick to his stomach as he fell forward off the small stage and fell to his knees as he tried to find his surroundings, he looked up to where he had seen Kiara and saw that she was no longer in the spot that he had seen her in. He had too find her, he needed too find her. As he had found his feet he made his way inside the Casino, he had a mission to complete...but not before he found himself his eight glass of blood.
