Vampire's Bride

The Masquerade Ball

I sat inside my bedroom preparing for the ball with Camille, Jackson, Lorelai, and Jacob. I sit at my vanity not wanting to be here or exist today. To celebrate a stupid engagement I don't even want. Father believes that Arthur and I are not talking anymore. I look at myself with horrified eyes. As if this is what my life has become. None of us get to wear our crowns or rings tonight because we're supposed to be disguising ourselves. My dress hangs on the wall next to my vanity. It was so gorgeous, beautiful, and exquisite. It was a sparkly navy blue and off the shoulder dress. I'm going to wear white shoes and a white mask to top it off.

Lorelai walked over "Aren't you excited for your wedding?"

One of the maids looked at me "You are marrying the hottest Werewolf bachelor to exist."

I groaned "He's my cousin. No, I'm not excited."

The maid smiles "I'd die to be his mistress."

I rolled my eyes "Not like you could, you're not his type."

Camille walks over "You two leave her alone!"

Lorelai crossed her arms "You're younger than me, stay in your place Witch."

Camille's eyes turned black "Just because you're older than me doesn't mean I fear you. I'll sweep the floor with you."

"Poor girl."

I stood up "Lorelai, leave my sister alone."

She growls "The Witch can't protect herself?"

Camille shoves me aside and begins swinging on Lorelai. It takes Jacob, Jackson, and I to get Camille off of her. That's bad for the baby for her to be getting her blood pressure up that high and fighting. After we manage to get her off and I calm her down I trail off to the folding screen to put my dress on. I get pink and brown makeup on with complimentary red wine lipstick. I decided to braid my hair and let it lay on my left shoulder. I slipped into my white shoes before looking in the mirror and hating myself to the highest of my abilities. We better find a way to stop this wedding so I can marry Arthur.

Camille finds her way back over to me "Did you and Arthur ever rekindle? Or work anything out at all?"

"Yes."

She smiles "So we can find a way to stop the wedding now?"

Dad bustles into the room "Good evening everyone!" he shakes Jacob's hand "Good evening, Jacob."

"Good evening, King Miguel."

"I hope everyone is enjoying their night tonight, you all look wonderful."

I sigh "I hope I enjoy the night."

"Jacob and Elena I have a gift for the two of you" he handed a box to Jacob.

Jacob opened the box and it was two engagement rings. Mine was silver and emerald. Jacob's was gold and emerald.

"These are beautiful" Jacob smiled awkwardly.

"Thank you" father looks at me "I know you two are excited."

Jacob frowned "Totally."

"No" I sighed.

"I thought you wanted to get married?" he looked at me confused.

I rolled my eyes "I said I was willing to, I didn't say I wanted to."

He smiles "Well you'll fall in love, you're both wonderful leaders" he turns to Jacob "do you want to properly propose?"

"Yeah sure" Jacob puts his ring on him then gets on his knee "Princess Elena of Persiania...will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
