A PARTY WAS THE last thing natalia wanted, being forced to socialize with people she hardly knew and keep a conversation flowing that she didn't even want to be having. it all sounded more like a chore rather then a fun laid back activity. it felt like a nightmare to the unsocialized girl. she had once loved parties, forcing lee to go with her when she snuck out. which went on for a while, until the cops got called at the last party they'd gone to, and the cops ended up being their fathers. it was rather embarrassing to be forced into the back of the cop cars by their own parents.
yet this would be nothing like the parties natalia once went to, it was one that she didn't think needed to happen. it was a way for the people of alexandria to meet them, to better understand who they were allowing within their walls. natalia had prepared herself for the amount of questions that would come through the night.
her boots gently hit against the floor, her eyes scanning over the outfit she wore, the mirror that was hanging on the wall coming in handy. rosita had laid a dress on the girls bed, she'd tried to get the grimes girl to wear it, which only resulted in natalia deadpanning the woman and shaking her head no.
she had once loved dresses, she would wear one any chance she got. but that was before, and this was now, she no longer felt the want to wear the dress. rather she wore what she'd typically wear, she wore cream colored cargo jeans, the pants loose on her legs and giving her room to feel comfortable. a clean brown long sleeve adorned her arms, the material soft and the clothing smelling of detergent, which was something natalia was unsure if she'd ever grow used to again. paired with her boots, the ones she had argued with carol on keeping.
her bracelets adorned her wrists, while her hair was flat against her back, the waves swimming down her back. attending the party was necessary, it would grant carol enough time to grab their weapons and get them back into their home undetected. natalia knew they needed their weapons back, so she had decided to push away the negative thoughts and force herself to go.
the home was filled with people natalia had never met, a frown on her lips, and it felt like her lungs had been sucked of any oxygen they'd once held. she was the last to arrive, putting off the inevitable for as long as she was able to. her nerves were higher then before, her eyes slightly wide as she scanned the busy home. confused as to of how they lay back like this, sit around relaxing and enjoying themselves while drinking. natalia didn't like it, she hated every part of it.
a crease formed between her brows as she slowly walked deeper into the home, the gentle sound of someone lightly playing the piano filling her ears, along with the chatter and the laughs from those within the home. her teeth sunk into the inside of her cheek, in desperate search of any of her people. to be more specific she was in search of lee, she found comfort in his presence. rather then finding the boy she was met with deanna and a woman who stood beside the woman. the mystery woman looked to be the same age as deanna, with blonde hair chopped at shoulder length, and plenty of smile lines that showed she was a relatively happy person.
