Natalie's POV

So, today is my 21st birthday and believe me I feel like a princess. Please, who am I kidding?  I am a princess and a stunning one at that. I've been planning this day for a long time because I just have a fascination with that age. I don't know...I've just always looked forward to being 21. I feel powerful, like I can own the world or something. I look around and I truly feel great. This is undoubtedly the biggest party of the year and no way am I not topping the hottest/coolest list this year. Clarissa, a big time bitch always manages to do something more spectacular but I planned this party just to perfectly. No way can she have another party without everyone knowing she's just trying to compete with me and that isn't very cool if I may say so myself.

So, I'm enjoying myself and all the attention and a dashing young man makes his way to me. People are always trying to get pictures with me but it's my birthday and I'm feeling generous so what the hell. He gets close to me and gives me an envelope. It's sealed with a funny but ancient looking emblem so I know it's kinda important. I'm about to open it but he says I should do that privately. All my suspicions flare up but I decide to give it a try. I stare at the emblem for a while. It interests me and triggers warmth all over me. Suddenly the hall is too hot and I head for the bathroom.

A sudden fire envelopes me and I just feel hot. As I look into the mirror, I realize that my platinum blonde hair is fast turning reddish. It's been gradually changing for weeks now but it is still so sudden. That is not the only feature disturbing me as I notice my irises are also changing color to a deep burgundy. I just want to rip my clothes off because it's so hot but I can't. This dress is a favorite and my designer made it with her hands. I can't go about ripping master pieces. My heart should be ripped out instead.

I then remember the ancient seal and decide to open it. It's an invitation to a really beautiful mansion up the hill. I've heard stories that it is haunted but if I do go and I have proof, I've automatically beaten Clarissa by doing the coolest thing ever while of course, looking the hottest. I have to be there tomorrow by 5. I most definitely would be there. Such invitations just don't drop from the sky.

Again, there is that rush of intense heat. Huh, I really have to see my physician as soon as possible. After my date with the unseen owner of that mansion, naturally.  Lord! I can't wait!



are you just as anxious as I am to know what happens at the 'date'? Don't forget to like and vote. And do leave your comments. They would help me write better. Thank you so much! Xoxoxoxoxo
