I've found my inspiration! Though, I'm not that good of a writer, comment on stuff you feel the need to happen! Would love to hear about what you have to say! Enjoy!

His hair, an ashy white and those milky gray eyes that pierce right through your heart. "Ah...You-" He disappears so fast, I start to think that it was I who had hallucinated.

I stumble backwards and fall hard, my wrist directly hitting the cold marble floor. My head hits the pole, causing a pain to spread around the spot. "Ow!" I say while rubbing my head with my other hand. Next to me, I feel something gooey and liquidity. "Ah!" I gasp at the sight of the small pool starting to fill where my wrist was. I bring my hand that slammed down on the floor up to my mouth to secure any sounds I make.

Immediately I smell my hand. It's smells alot like blood. I taste my wrist just to make sure if is really was my blood. Yep it is. Do you know how blood tastes like? Well, I think it tastes like money. Errr, well  mean it tastes like a penny. Have you ever tasted a penny? Well I have, it's one of our money coins used.

There's a small gash on my wrist and blood slowly sipping out. My stomach twists and turns. "Ugh." I shrug the feeling off and get back up. I walk towards the door and open it. "Valorie?" I ask. I remember to hide my injury from them.

"Percy! Oh God you're here! Thank the Lord!". I turn towards the sound. Sitting tied up in two chairs are Lewis and Valorie. "Lewis? What are you doing here?" I ask, pretending not to know why.

"I-Uh...Well I just wanted to come watch you do the ritual!" He sputters. Valorie glares at him.
 "Well it's a good thing I came here before anybody did."I tell them. "Just untie me!" Valorie complains. I nod and carefully untie the hard rope, cautious not to show my wound or spill any of the blood.

"So what did you want to tell me?" Valorie says while rubbing her wrists. "Ah, uh nevermind, it's already so late." I tell her. "Oh, okay then. I guess I'll go back to the Inn." She heads towards the door.

Lewis just stands there, helpless looking at her. I sigh and then say "Hey, wait! Why don't you and Lewis go together! You're both going the same way right?" I ask them. Lewis nods. Valorie just gives a Hmph then says "Whatever you say, goes." She agreed. Lewis looked up, with hope in his eyes.

I give him a look-i-just-gave-you-another-chance-don't-mess-it-up glare. He nods and happily skips next to Valorie, holds her hand without her consent but she doesn't seem to care. It looks like she's happy now that Lewis has returned to her side.

I clap my hands together for myself, giving myself an applause was the best I could get right now. "Plan success!" I chime.

A pulse comes from my wrist. I lift it up to eye-level to examine it. *Sigh* I pull down the hanfu sleeve farther down my arm to conceal the injury, then I walk out of the ballroom and close the door behind me.

I slowly walk to my room. Pain and weight on my shoulders. My eyes feel very heavy and I"m exceptionally tired. I turn a corner and walk a few steps farther down. I'm now upon my quarters.

I hadn't noticed before, but my legs feel really weak, and before I've even entered my room, my legs give away. My eyes slowly close as I'm caught seconds before coming in contact with the floor and the last thing I see and hear is a red cloth dangling and someone saying "Goodnight my princess."

When I open my eyes again, I can barely see. I'm not fully awake, but I can tell that I'm outside in the night. I smell something sweet like the flowers in Rosa's garden but I know I''m not in her garden much less at the castle or Louienard.I slowly lift my head to look around. I'm wearing a purple dress, something I wasn't even wearing tonight. I'm surrounded by myriads of many different types of flowers. Roses, amaryllis, aranda orchids, sea asters, carnations, vanda orchids, peruvian lilies, and etc. All have something in common. They're all red.
