THIRD PERSON'S POV
It is the first time young Aurora will be able to attend this kind of ball.Nor occurred to her imagination that a night like this would ever happen in her lifetime.A scene she just read in novels and the script that has given to her last week by her boss.However she was very excited to experience it for the first time.
"A Masquerade Ball"
She screamed at the back of her mind while walking slowly to the main entrance of the big event hall.Her heart beating so fast that she couldn't calm herself down.Not until a soft and gentle hand reached hers.
"I would like you to enjoy this evening El,don't hold back and let yourself experience this amazing moment,okay?If anything happens or you need anything just call me alright?Have a great night."
"Y—es Miss L.Thank you for inviting me and my friend here tonight."
With a sweet smile her boss disappeared from her sight joining the other visitors.
"Wow..looks like a fairy tale ,right Tiff?..Eh? Where did you go Tiffany...? Eehhhhh???
The grand hall shimmered like a dream ,chandeliers spilled golden light upon the polished marble floors,where a sea of mask figures swirled to the slow ,haunting rhythm of the waltz as the event started.Velvet gowns brushed against tailored suits ,laughter rang like chimes and the night bloomed like a garden full of flowers.
Aurora hesitantly looked around to find her best friend who disappeared a moment ago but failed to find any trace of her.Her mind became restless and anxious as not many of the visitors remained seated like her.
In the midst of her anxiety ,a tall ,well dressed person appeared into her sight.Lowering her/his hand as inviting her to the dance floor.She was hesitant at first but agreed reaching the latter's hand.
A tall physique appeared to her amber orbs meeting the latter's radiant gaze beneath the golden mask.A sleek—obsidian suit wrapped around her frame like a secret .The sharp cut of the collar balancing the softness and strong auras she emits.Her mask though concealed her half face,but couldn't hide the gleam in her eyes upon seeing this woman in front of her.
Aurora on the other hand wearing a well made crimson dress.Her natural curly hair style like a real princess.An elegant gown suits to her slender body;her mask adorned with silver vines .Her eyes flickered with uncertainty ,wanting to escape the person stood in front of her but failed to do so as the music started.
In the midst of the music, just as the orchestra dipped into a sultry tremble something shifted.A man positioned across some building with a long range gun—a sniper.Calculating his every move before releasing the shot.
A red dot...
Pointing at the chest of her dance partner,only she could decipher what was this red thing means.
Like a lightning cutting across the sky she moved ,one breath—one blink.And the gunshot strike on the ground but no one noticed it.
No one even Aurora who seems to be destructed by the familiar scent,familiar figure,familiar touch and familiar feelings with this stranger that holding her.
