When Allison arrived back at the castle with her family, she was impressed with the decorations. Of course, the decorations were left up to Diya, Lucinda and Kallin; they made the castle look even more darker and mysterious than it already was. There was fake blood splattered on the walls as you walked through the castle, bloody drag marks along the floor, coffins leaning against the walls throughout -some were open with skeletons in them and some were closed. That was only the halls of the castle, Allison was excited to see what the ballroom looks like.
Her family had went straight to their rooms to drop of their luggages; they were the only coven that has their own designated rooms. Seth had taken Felix somewhere, probably to help him with his costume after the whole debate that he can't dress up like a vampire since he is one.
The party was in another three hours, there was still plenty of time to get ready yet there was very little time left. She expected guests to be arriving soon, so she does have to get ready now.
"How do you like the decorations?" A sudden female voice appeared. Allison turned her head to the left to see Jane.
"I'm impressed."
"Would it be more impressive if I told you Kallin took charge?"
Allison smiled. "Definitely. Do you know where my mates are?"
Jane smirked. "Heard Caius and Aro argue about something while you're gone. Pretty sure Marcus is in his office."
"Thanks Jane." Allison headed in direction of Marcus's office, wondering if she was going to walk in on a scene where Aro and Caius were arguing and Marcus was sitting in his chair, so very annoyed. It was rare for Marcus to participate in an argument between the other two, when he does participate it was because he was pissed off about something. Allison knocked on the door, before opening it. Marcus was alone in his office, working in a stack of files. "I thought you would be finished."
Marcus looked up from whatever he was working on. "Amore, you're back."
Allison took a couple more steps in. "Aren't you supposed to be getting ready?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.
"It won't take me long to get changed," Marcus said.
Allison hummed. "Guests will be arriving soon and we need to be in our costumes." She walked over to his desk, grabbed the file he was working on. "Go get changed."
Marcus raised an eyebrow at her. "What's my reward if I go get ready now?"
Allison rolled her eyes as she put the file back down on the desk. "How about a very happy soulmate?" She offered, smirking at Marcus's blank face, knowing that he wasn't expected that response. She smiled. "What? I already promised Caius I would spend the night with him."
Marcus moved around his desk, to stand in front of her, his arm wrapped around her waist. "Maybe, we can enjoy some quality time before the party."
Allison stood on her tiptoes to kiss him on the lips. "We spent quality time yesterday." She manourvered out of his arms. "Now go get ready." With that, she walked out of his office, she heard him give out a frustrated sigh.
If she had the time, she would go check on Aro and Caius, but first, she has to get ready.
---------------UNEXPECTED_----------
"This feels like a second layer of skin," Allison said to Alice as she walked out of the bathroom in her witch costume. Of course, Alice had picked her costume. It was a black and red dress that was above the knees, she was wearing black high heels, her hair was straightened and went down to mid-back.
"Definitely will get your mates attention," Alice said with a smirk.
Allison rolled her eyes. "What are you suppose to be, anyways?" She asked, changing the topic. She wasn't going to speak to her sister about her sex life, not tonight.
"I'm Alice from Alice in Wonderland," Alice said with a smile.
"And Jasper?"
"He's the Mad hatter," Alice answered.
Allison rolled her eyes, knowing that Jasper didn't have a say in what to be. Jasper just usually wear what Alice picked out for him, he wasn't big on the whole fashion sense or the costumes he picks were lame according to Alice. She walked over to get her witch hat from her bed, she put it on and looked at her sister. "So, how do I look?"
"You look great. Now, let's get ready for the guests, my sister queen."
---------UNEXPECTED--------------
When Allison went into the ballroom, she was amazed on how much of a murder scene it looked like- it be terrifying if the blood and the body parts they used were real- though, it really did fit into a theme with the hallways. She made a mental note to reward Kallin, Lucinda and Diya in their decorating skills. Allison noticed Diya finishing up the last little touches to the room.
"How do you like it?" Diya asked. She was already in her Halloween costume; she was dressed up as a genie.
"I love it."
"Good," Kallin said, as he entered the ballroom. He was dressed up as a skeleton. "Now, our guests have started showing, and I need to start the music." He headed over towards the speakers, hooking up his phone or Seth's phone since one of them was suppose to download music for the party. "Let the night of the monsters begin!" Kallin exclaimed happily.
