Back in my room I put on the short red dress I chose from the shop, slip on black strappy heels, curl my hair, add makeup and put on my black Lacey mask. I sneak out of my room, seeing no one around I walk down the street to the large mansion with the ballroom. I look around and I don't recognize anyone "hello madam, may I help you?" A worker bows in front of me
"Yes, which way to the ballroom?" He points to an open room with music coming from it "oh of course, thank you" I walk down the hallway but bump into a man right as I turn the corner "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"
"No it's ok, it was my fault" I look at the man I bumped into, solid black mask, black Suit and red tie "are you hurt?"
"No I'm alright, thanks" I smile and fiddle with my gold heart locket "so, this is what a party looks like" I whisper as I stare into the crowd
"You've never been to a party before?" I shake my head "well you can hang out with me, if you like that is" he holds out a hand
"I'd love to" I smile and take his hand. We walk out to the dance floor "what's your name?"
"You'll find out later" he spins me around and dips me
"Your a pretty good dancer"
"Thanks your pretty, and...a dancer"
I laugh and roll my eyes "Thanks for the ego boost"
"Hey I called you pretty, and..wow, your eyes are stunning" he pulls me into the light and I feel my cheeks turn a bright crimson
"They're not that pretty, but thank you" for what felt like minutes-but was actually hours- we continued to dance and chat. We stand in a corner in the less crowded part of the room. "So let me get this straight, you have how many brothers?" I ask, slowly sipping my champagne (that I don't really think I should be having but hey, it's one night)
"10, 4 of them pretended I was invisible, literally, for 3 years"
"That's terrible! Did you do something?"
"Yeah I moved out when I was 13. I wandered around for almost a year and then I ended up here. But enough about me, tell me about you"
"Well I grew up in a very large house, I was raised by a very rich and powerful man"
"What happened to your parents? Didn't you have a mom or dad?" I think about the man in the woods
"They died when I was a baby, the man took me in and raised me as his own. so long story short I wanted to see the world at 16 and when I turned 18 I was allowed to go. that was almost a year ago, wow...I'm turning 19 in 4 months. time flys"
"That's one heck of a story, hey, you wanna know who I am now?" I nod "ok well.." suddenly another man in a black suit and cobalt blue tie bumps into us
"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to bump into you but they're going around kicking people out, its almost midnight"
"Thanks" the man walks off "ok let's take off our masks at the same time" I nod "1.." I put my hands on my mask "2.." I get ready "3" we pull off our masks at the same time
"You?!?"
