BEING REWRITTEN THIS IS THE OLD VERSION
You haven't learnt anything until you learn monsters have nightmares too.
Paint me as a villain and call me a monster but I am the architect of my own destruction and that will forever remain engraved inside m...
"I'm sure my dress looks fine Diana" i stepped off the stool.
It was the next day and I was entering the ball literally any second now.
I was wearing my dress along with a whole load of heirlooms. This was crazy.
There was atleast 7000 people arriving today and the room was huge
The doors opened and music played as I lifted my dress stepping out
The hushed whispers quietened as I descended. The staircase was long and at the bottom Ace and Diana stood, a line of Monteverde agents lining up as a symbol of protection and unity

I had to collect a penny with a lion on it from each agent that was chosen to stand at the front.
The lion represents strength, courage determination and endurance.
Then once I had collected around 100 lions from all the members and made it a quarter way across the ballroom, mind you this place was huge I had to stop and pick a daffodil flower from a plant pot, one that was passed down for each generation, planting a new seed I had the daffodil flower between my fingers.
I spotted Nikolai up front near the stage I was heading to and he looked lethal.
His eyes; a well of jet black ink, held a gaze more fearsome than a tiger. It was times like these where his mask returned, just like mine.
I continued my walk all the way across the ballroom trying my hardest not to trip or break out in a laugh.
Chris was at the front on the stage in a grey suit, matching the dress I was wearing. At the front of the stage another 100 agents stood in uniform. A symbol of protection and acceptance
I walked up to the stage the agents bowing there head in respect as I ascended up
The room was absolutely pin drop silent
"Phoenix Hera Salvatore" Chris announced
"Daughter of Hazel Monteverde, My grandchild and your future leader"
"Hello" I spoke confidently to the room, everyone's gaze burning into me
"Some of you may know me as Hera, or some of you may not know me at all" I started
"I'm 18 years old, daughter of Hazel Monteverde and Lucien Salvatore" now that set of murmurs around the room, Nik sending me supportive eyes
"I would like to start off by saying my bloodline is irrelevant to my value. I am the person I am today because I made myself that" I pausedfor dramatic effect
"Whether I have Monteverde blood in me or not I demand respect and loyalty. If I think what I receive is not up to my standards or disappoints me I will not hesitate to put in place consequences. I expect to be treated with respect because I am a strong, smart and honest leader and I say that truthfully not just to boost my ego" I looked around the room gauging everyone's reaction
