"What a pretty young lady!" You heard slight gossip from the women who eyed you through their fans as you strolled through the crowds of guests at the grand ball hosted by Ciel's to-be-wed, Lizzie. 

You were in your finest attire, a silk-like F/C dress with a F/A accessory pinned to the shoulder/waist. In your hair was a F/H that complimented to the rest of your outfit very nicely. You not being all that favorable to being too dolled up, your dress stopped at the ankles instead of dragging to the floor, the latest trend with girls your age. Your shoes had a slight heel to them, they being the same color as your hairpiece. 

"Tch, damn corset...Am I really that fat...?" you went to the corner of the ballroom, watching others waltz the night away as you questioned the tightness of your corset. 

A slight cold feeling at your ankle wrapped itself around you like...a...snake?! 

A corn snake had wrapped its length around your ankle, causing you to gasp a bit. Oh, right..you remembered that Ciel had brought along his servants with him to the ball, including your friend the snake boy. 

Corn snakes were harmless, you knowing this smiled down at the creature as shoes made their way in the view of the ground. You look up to the person's face reddening in embarrassment. 

"Wilde, behave!...says Emily..." The corn snake slithered up the gold-eyed boy's leg, you watching it slide up his body with a rosy red to your face at the realization to what you were looking at. 

Snake smiled a bit, and you smiled back, recalling your last adventure with him on the boat. His suit was slightly rumpled from the reptiles sliding in and out of it, up and over his shoulders in happiness, you sensed, at your presence. 

"Sh-Shall we-" The reptile boy looked as if he'd wanted to say something, and you had a feeling it were to be important. 

"Ah! Y/N! If it isn't the female animal charmer!" But he'd suddenly been cut off by another man.

This guy had sparkling chestnut hair, eyes of blue, something rather...odd. His suit was perfectly ironed, not a single crumple in the fresh-looking outfit. His shoes sparked so you almost felt the need to shield your eyes from them. He was slightly taller with broader shoulders than Snake, the one standing meekly next to you in conversation. 

So damn stereotypical....you thought, and you knew you'd be boring your ears out with this dude. Nonetheless, you smiled and greeted him as well. No use in being rude. 

Just then, a waltz piped up from the violins and cellos from the band. "Oh, I see a dance is on, my lady. Shall we take this one?" The man smiled brightly at you, Snake looking rather nervous and confused, he nodded at you, making his way to another corner of the ballroom. 

 Shit! Not again! Can't people just leave me alone?! you hid behind your nod, taking his hand. 

"Um, S-Sir, may I ask, what is your name?" You were the first to ask, making small talk of this bore as the both of you twirled on the floor. His feet were skilled, and although you'd steeped on them possibly without intention, he was a guide to the confusion of the waltz.

"My, how rude of me to not have introduced myself at an earlier time...I am Count Reyoldo, pleased to make your acquaintance, lady Y/N." he gave his ever so sparkling smile that made you want to retch. 

His grip was strangely rather...tight. Most others who've danced with you had a light and airy grip, as to not 'hurt your delicate bones.' 

You then looked towards Snake, currently feeding one of his snakes in an unnoticed corner of the room. "Lady Y/N, what such nice soft skin you have..." A husky voice snapped you back to dance, a hand traveling up your cheek.

You knew Snake was watching, but you knew he knew you'd put a stop to this pervert, like in your last adventure. 

Gritting your teeth, you thanked him for the 'compliment' as the song ended and couples detached on the floor.  He smiled back again, a hint of a smirk lingering on his lips. As his hands parted from you, you rushed your way to Snake, leaning against the wall next to him. "Whew, glad I got that pedophile out of the way." And he smiled at you review on your new acquaintance. 

"So erm, Snake? What is it you wanted to tell me earlier?" You were very curious at what the reptilian-boy needed to let out. His face flushed red all over again, and so did yours slightly. "S-Sha-" Sudden hands at your waist made you jump. 

"Reyoldo!" You scold your acquaintance, slipping quickly out of his grip. He chuckled a bit, and you smelled the alcohol on him. He'd made a fool of himself out of the champagne in less than twenty minutes, apparently. 

You sigh in a troubled state and he only smiled drunkenly.  "Sorry Snake, I'll have to rid myself of this...gentleman." You wrinkled your nose at the last word of your sentence, Snake giggling a bit. 

You make your way past women chatting away and men dancing with their lovers, Reyoldo stumbling in his walk behind as you reach the front doors, which were wide open for any late coming guests. Leading him out to the moonlight, his pearly teeth glinting in the veil of moonlight was the last thing you saw before something hit you between the eyes.
