Mystery Mansion

Chapter Three- The Big Night

Enoby's POV (First Per)

I didn't compute a single word he said because I was still a bit dazed from first seeing him. Sasha must've noticed this because she quickly took action and answered the man for me.

Sasha: It's nice to meet you Richard I'm Sasha and this i-

Enoby: *Fully coming back to my senses* Enoby my name's Enoby.

Richard: It's a pleasure to meet you as well Miss Sasha Miss Enoby. Miss Yvonne sent me to tell you you both have about three hours till the party and suggested you should take this time to get ready.

Enoby: isn't the not until- Wait three hours?

I looked at my watch and saw that it was now going on seven.

Enoby (thought): Wow time flew.

Richard: Oh! I almost forgot.

Richard then turns to the side while crouching down he then reaches for something that's against the wall that sounded like the slight crinkling of paper. He then turns back to me and stands back up now holding a big box that was wrapped in pastel pearl pink gift wrap and tied with a pale yellow ribbon in a bow on top. He then jestured the box to me signaling for me to take it.

Richard: This is for you. If you have not already figured it out, the party is actually a test for the master to see how many of the potential brides are actually worthy. So he requests that you each wear a distinct outfit so he can spot you all more easily. *Turns to Sasha* Miss Sasha I left yours at the door of your room so I suggest you go and change.

Sasha: Oh thank you Richard. *Gestures to Enoby while walking out* See you at the party Enoby.

Enoby: *Gestures back* See you.

I turned my full attention back to Richard as he stepped out of the so Sasha could get passed he then stepped back and jestured the box to me again and this time I took it.

Enoby: Thank you.

Richard: *Bows with one hand on his chest and the other behind his back* Your welcome Miss Enoby. I have to get going and help Miss Yvonne with party preparations.

With that he grabbed the door knob and pulled it closed as he walked off. I listened to his footsteps as I stared at the box in aw and replayed what had just happened in my head when I thought about Richard, how he acted and what he said made my feelings about him even stronger. without thinking a second thought I ripped my door open and quickly stepped out to follow after him only to stop in my tracks from seeing that he was gone. In his place stood a woman. Her long black hair tied in a long ponytail that flowed gracefully down her back. She wore an black sweater with dark purple shoes that contrasted beautifully with the red dress she wore underneath. She had a smokey eye with a hint of that same dark purple and a mat red lip. She smiled as she bowed to me gently then said...

Woman: Hello Miss Enoby my name's Amanda I am here to help you get ready and escort you to the party.

I stared at her wide eyed wondering where the hell the butler had gotten to.

Enoby: Umm... Hi?

Amanda: Would you like for me to help you with your hair?

I nodded and she began to lead me back into my room towards the vanity in front of the bed where she sat me and began to comb through my hair with her fingers.

Amanda: Your hair is quite thick and beautiful.

Enoby: Thanks it's both a blessing and a curse. *Laughing nervously*

Amanda: What makes you say that? *Grabs a nearby brush and starts brushing her hair with it*

Enoby: I've always had troubles with it my whole life and it gets matted so easily it's pretty annoying.

Amanda: I can understand that but it goes amazing with that unique mark on your chin and neck.

My eyes widen when I hear her say that. I immediately spun around, throwing Amanda off guard.

Enoby: Who told you about that!?

Amanda: It's quite noticeable and I couldn't help but notice that the makeup you use to cover is a bit see through.

I gasped and looked back in the mirror to see that she was right as I saw a faint outline of it on my neck. I couldn't believe that after years of using the same brand and cover up technique it took a stranger to point it out for me to notice.

Enoby: Uh? Sorry I lashed out at you like that.

Amanda: It's fine I understand why you'd not want anyone to know about it. To me you look very beautiful either way Miss Enoby.

The compliment makes me blush and look down at the floor shyly.

Enoby: Thank you Amanda. If it's not too much to ask, could you teach me how to cover it up properly?

Amanda smiled happily at this then continued her gentle brushing of my hair.

Amanda: Of course!

So after a little longer, we finally managed to finish my hair and helped me cover my mark completely. Once everything was finished Amanda helped me get ready. She put my makeup on and I was surprised to find that she did very well at doing so. She then gestured towards the box signaling for me to hand it to her and I did. She then unwrapped the box and reached inside pulling out a pale yellow dress with a white ribbon on the waist.

Enoby: Oh wow! That's beautiful.

She then smiled as she started unbuttoning my blouse and let it slip slowly to the ground exposing my bra, which I immediately covered up with my hands.

Amanda: *Giggles* No need to be shy, we're both girls here.

After she said that I became more comfortable while she helped me change into the dress. Amanda then reached into the box again and pulled out a pair of white heels and gloves. She also pulled out a bunch of accessories such as pastel pink pearl necklace, earrings, bracelet, and some hair pins with a pale yellow hair ribbon. I stared curiously at the necklace and bracelet because instead of normal thread the pearls were strung by ribbon that was the same pale yellow color that was attached to a gold chain that clasped. After I was fully dressed Amanda opened the door to my closet to reveal a full body mirror which I used to look over myself with. My hair was put into a high braided bun with the hair pins in and I was impressively shocked to see that Amanda had somehow woven the ribbon into my hair to make it look like a headband without ruining the style, the dress went right below my knees with the waist ribbon was tied in a bow in the front, the gloves went right above my elbows, and finally the bracelet, necklace, and earrings went perfectly and pulled it all together.

Amanda: And now for the finishing touch.

Amanda reached into the box again and took out a white decorative rose that had a ring of the same pastel pink pearls at the bottom of it. She told me to lower my head a little since I was a tad taller than her with the heels. Amanda then clasped the rose to the ribbon in my hair. I looked in the mirror again and this time I saw my eyes sparkle as I gazed at my appearance and felt that the rose was complete.

Amanda: *Standing in a proud stance from her work* What do you think?

Enoby: I think... It's perfect.

Amanda: Wonderful now the party is gonna start in twenty. Time to get going.

And before I could say anything else she reached out and grabbed my arm gently pulling me along as she led the way.
As she dragged me along by the arm, I tried to keep up but my heels weren't helping. Amanda noticed this and slowed her pace a bit. I think about five minutes passed, at least I wasn't sure since I was a tad out of it the whole walk and I found myself and Amanda heading towards a very bright light. I was completely blinded when we went through when my eyes adjusted to what I saw on the other side was the entrance with three doors.
