The Vampires Bride

The Masquerade ball

Sophia and Heather came to my room at 7am in the morning to start getting ready for the masquerade ball tonight. I'm not going to lie, I'm super excited not for the fact that Adrian's returning, but because this is my first masquerade ball!!!.

Sophia is getting Hearthers and my dress that she secretly ordered for us.

Sophia walked into the room with 2 maids behind her carrying canvas wrapped dresses, on each canvas was our names in beautiful swirly writing. The maids handed the dresses to us as Sophia stood there patiently waiting for us to unwrap our dresses. I slowly unwrapped mine and eventually got the wrapping off after 10minutes of struggling painfully with the canvas.

I was dumbfounded by my ball gown it was the most sublime gown on earth I just kept gawking at it until I found my voice again to stutter a thanks to Sophia who stood there beaming very pleased with my expression.

My dress was so beautiful it was a deep crimson that did wonders for my golden wheat skin, the top part of the gown was stunning with floral netting and the bottom flared out.(dress pic at the top, excuse my poor description).

I couldn't wait to put it on tonight it would transform into a dazzling jaw dropping princess. I slide my dress back into the canvas and hung it in my wardrobe as I wouldn't be wearing till 7at night.

After seeing our dresses we decided what jewellery , makeup and hairstyle would match, but all that had to wait as all of us were going to the royal spa in this Vampire Castle to beautify for the ball tonight.

Sophia had thought ahead and reserved a spot for us so we didn't have to wait in the 10meter line of vampire women waiting to get into the spa.

We got massages, facials and hair treatments to make our whole body glow like a disco ball.

10hrs later

It's finally 7pm, time to get ready for the ball at 9pm. Some maids we're going to soon come into my room to help me with my hair and makeup though personally I didn't need help.

While waiting personally for my maids to arrive my thoughts drifted off to my parents, a sudden rush of guilt overtake me as here I was excited to go to this ball when my parents had been killed a couple of days ago by the same vampire who this ball was being held for. I internally smacked myself for actually being excited for the ball.

Just then there came a number of knocks on my door, I was flung out of my thoughts and with a jerk a nearly fell off my bed and ran for the door as it was impolite to keep them waiting.

They were 3 Middle aged women, each gave me a brief nod and gestured for me to sit down. I was in my robe, so they explained to me we would do hair, makeup and then last put on my dress to avoid ruining it in any way.

I put my earphones phones in and sat back waiting for them to do their magic.

I sat up suddenly awoken by a sharp tap on my shoulder. I realized I had fallen asleep while my makeup was being done, embarrassed i hastily apologized to the maids and excused them to go.

After they left Sophia and Heather rushed in excited to see my makeup and hair. "OMG, you look so different and hot" complimented Heather to which I replied "so do u".

"Okay, let's get u in your dress" almost demanded Sophia not waiting for my reply she practically shoved me into my bathroom and handed me my dress. i swiftly slipped into it and told Heather to do the zip.

"Now for the big reveal " i said excited, as I had avoided the mirror all day long. Sophia gestured us to her room as she had a whole mirror wall. I followed behind quickly, eager to see my hopefully jaw-drooping makeover.

Trying not to trip over I made my way to the mirror with my eyes closed then slowly I opened my eyes. I heard a loud gasp which I realized came from me, I was so astounded, in front of me stood a breath taking girl with princess like elegance. Her dress fit perfectly on her body emphasizing her small waist and long legs.The exquisite flower netting matched the hair ointment in her dark red/brown hair which where in a belle from beauty and the beast up do.

This girl was so ravishing I couldn't believe she was me. My skin glowed due to the facials and massages and my eyes had a peculiar twinkle in them that I had lost as a child. My eyes were rimmed with black smoked eyeliner and natural eye shadow , my lips were a deep cherry colour which matched my dress.

The girl standing in front of me was almost unrecognizable she overflowed with charisma, confidence and beauty.

I ran to Sophia and tightly embraced her uttering a paragraph of thanks you's . Just then came a subtle knock from the door. " Your lady ship, the guests are arriving please let me escort you downstairs myself, master Adrian arrived a short while ago and is already greeting the guests he requested you to make your way down immediately."

Did I not mention everyone talks formally in the vampire realm. "We'll come down in a second and it's fine Henry u don't need to escort us, I'm pretty sure I can find my way to the ball. Thanks for your offer though". Said Sophia without any hesitation.

All three of us left the room after admiring our reflections for a fair amount of time. I was so nervous to go to the ball as all eyes would be on as we are the princess Sophia friends and the only humans in the room.

Sophia paused outside the ballroom door sensing our hesitation, she spoke some encouraging words , I slowly gathered enough courage to enter the ravishing ballroom of beautiful yet dangerous vampires.

With a swift push we entered the ballroom to meet the stares of thousands of pairs of dark red eyes. everyone bowed to Sophia and then went back to their conversations like nothing had happened.

I stood their dumbfounded as my eyes connected with a pair of familiar looking eyes, but without red irises, It wasn't hard to guess  who he was as people where gushing around him like he was their majesty which he probably was, he didn't have a striking resemblance to Sophia and Aidan though, as i looked up my eyes connected with those dangerously stunning eyes of Adrian.
