Beautiful Thief

Chap30-35

(Jericho)

I let go of my sister's hand, then I danced with another lady. I kept my eyes to her, and to him. Jessica looked so happy with that guy named Simon. Her eyes were sparkling and her lips won't stop smiling. She looks awful for me. But, for Simon, who looked happy too, she's giving the most beautiful smile in the world.

I've never seen Jessica like that to someone before, usually she's so mean. Thus, since I don't see anything wrong with what they're doing, they gained my blessing. I'll let my little sister fell in love..

"who are you looking at??" the lady I'm dancing with asked "you stepped on my toes for the third time, now... can you please concentrate.."

I turned my head to her. "i—I am so sorry, princess..."

She made a small force smile just by the side. "your black mask doesn't look good on you.." she suddenly said!! My brows narrowed immediately!!

"h-hey.. that's no way a graceful princess should talk.." I looked at her and examined her being. She wore a shinny white mask and a sparkling white gown like that fell to the floor. I, then, suddenly realized I'm dancing with a strange looking blond, white lady. I freaked out. She's literally all white!!! "w-what's with y-you.." her hair was curly and long. She let it dance in her back. I've never seen a white lady before. I'm afraid, I'm finally seeing one!!!

She made a small smile again. It made the hairs behind my neck rose to death. "don't do that look.. please..." she tried to stop it, but she burst into laughter.

The music slows down, it means the dance is nearly over.

The lady grabbed my hand and then horrifyingly pulled me outside!!! I really thought it's the day--- the day of my death!!!

She ran, dragging me. I found myself helpless and tired near the royal kitchen.

"w-w-what?... w-what are you doing??!" I finally took courage and pulled myself from her. I'm scared of her looks but I'm pretty sure she's not a monster or ghost... r-r-right?...

She stepped back. "hahahhh.. you know what.. I certainly cannot describe how you look.. can you kindly clean your expression?.." she then looked around.

I looked around then suddenly felt something in my chest. My heart beat raced.

"that's better.." the lady, with a sweet smile, said.

"w-who... who a-are you?.." my whole body shook and paled

"did I really change?.." she turned and took something. She looked back at me with the thing that made my whole world fall down. "..prince?" she changed her mark! She put on a black mask!! It's Black's mask--- Sarah's mask!!!

"Sarah!" I let go of the very name I haven't spoken for a while. I tried to forget that name, to forget that person. I mourned, I cried, and then I had enough. I thought carefully and promised myself to move forward. But... but... all of a sudden... sh—she... she's here?!!!!

The black masked, blond lady with an unfamiliar voice took my hand and put it to her mask. "it was in this place...in this scene... remember?.."

With my hands shaking, I pulled her mask away gently and cleared my vision. I was speechless enough to even make a sound. It's her!

My eyes went deep, my brows narrowed. I can't believe it. It's Sarah!!

She gently took off my mask too, then said "it's very nice to see you again..."
