"Masquerade ball is coming!" I stressed as I ran into Collin and making him fall down. "Ouch, my head," Collin complained when he fell down. "Where's Ryder?" I said freely. Collin is my personal royal guard and Ryder is my guard to protect the Lady of Assassin Circle. Collin and Ryder thankfully get along but occasionally have their friendly guard competition which I thought was pointless. "Scream!" Ryder came out of know nowhere that I slip and fell after Collin and I recover from the fall. "Careful! I'm old and my body is fragile!" I slap Ryder as Collin helped me up. "Okay so you can complain but I can't!?!" Collin whines. "You're so childish! My body is still fragile and I won't recover fully until a long wait but I'm still moving!" I roll my eyes and laugh at Collin. "Wait! I am the oldest here!" Ryder said realizing that he was older than both of us. "Sea biscuits! I twenty-three, Collin is twenty-four, and Ryder is twenty-five." I listed our ages knowing I was sadly the youngest out of the three of us. "I heard that Damien is twenty-five so how about an older guy?" Ryder teases that earned a slap from Nova as she walked by. "Hey, Nova how old are you?" I asked Nova wanting to know the ages of people now. "Nineteen. There's a list of people's names with their information." Nova points the way to the library. "Oh right, forgot about that!" I fake a laugh as I zoom to the library. I needed to write information about every member for the masquerade ball that was coming up. I was nervous because Glacial is coming this year. "The year I go is the year they decided to attend, why not the other years," I mutter to myself.

"Dresses aren't for a showcase, it's meant to worn." Nova fought with Micah, Serenity, and I. "You're funny Nova! I'm not going to be caught dead in a dress!" Micah fakes laugh as Serenity and I join in. "Why must there be three Kasey like personality? What's so wrong with wearing a dress?" Nova asked curious to hear our opinions. "Well...let's begin with elegant and fancy for me." Serenity starts. "I'd prefer my armor as protection to my body plus I have a recovery that's in the process still, I may add." I continued off of Serenity's complaint. "And dresses are stupid overall. I don't do expensive clothing." Micah ends with her opinion. "Why must all three of you be so difficult!" Nova asked us three. "I'll wear a dress that isn't too much." Serenity gives in as she sees no use in fighting while Micah and I still refused. "Just because I am the Maiden of Witchery doesn't mean I like wearing dresses. I have to be respectful and besides, I prefer armor than dresses." Micah turns her head the other way that isn't facing Nova. "What's your excuse, Lady Kasey?" Nova asked wanting to get the complaining over with. "To keep it short. I can do whatever I want because I am the leader here and you can't make me! My outfit is better in a case of any enemies spotting us." I told Nova. "I am so not touched. All of you three are wearing something more than just regular assassin outfits. Sorry." Nova shrugs her shoulders and measures us. "And why did I agree to keep working here?" I asked myself. "You mean why did I bother to say here?" Micah rephrased the question to fit her circumstances. "It's not that bad." Flare smirks and once I heard her voice. I race to her and give her a hug. "I missed you! How's Damien?" I asked hoping he was going okay. "How do crying and questioning sound like to you?" Flare says with a straight face. "Oh." I said shocked. "He's like a lost puppy. But he's not a pup nor in his wolf form. His beta is filling in while he's just sad." Flare tells me. "Well now I should feel kinda awful but I feel stupid because I should've left a note at least." I facepalm myself for my stupid actions. "You are pretty stupid." Collin teasingly laughs at me. "Shut it, Collin! I'm going to feed you to the bears!" I threaten him. "So much hatred in this village." Flare says flatly. "I know, isn't it great?" I joked sarcastically. "Okay, I am thinking of a beautiful emerald green dress for Micah, Serenity has a simple creamy dress, and Kasey will have a blue dress." Nice decides. "Great. I'll look like an ugly wicked witch in a green dress." Micah sarcastically cheers with her hands. "And I'll look like a glass of milk from a cow." Serenity insults the color of her dress. Asher starts cracking up and responds, "you crack me up! Get it cause an egg can crack. And you're making me crack up!" Collin and Ryder smack Asher to shut up before Serenity punches him for the comment he made. "What's your insult on the color blue?" Nova said rolling her eyes at the maturity of her friends. "I don't mind the color....but it'll look like I cried a waterfall into a dress. A red is nice but then it looked like I fell in a bath of blood from killing people or I'll look like a thirsty and hungry bloodsucking vampire not that I don't like vampires. Also red might look like I'm bleeding my cuts out to death that I'm too stupid to know which I'm not stupid. I'll stand out more in blue or red and I don't want to be seen." I said sounding like a long paragraph in a report. "If only you could talk or write that in a report!" Ryder laughs which I gave him a death glare. "Yeah, Asher! That wasn't very nice to say that to Serenity's friend and to our Lady." Ryder tries to blame Asher. "You liar!" Collin spits on Ryder's shoe. "Hey, hey, hey! Not on my clean floors, Collin! Unless you want to scrub down every floor!" I catch Collin spitting. "It was the shoe, not the floor!" Collin whines to me. "Same thing. Spit lands on the shoe and the spit on the shoe travels to the floor. That sounded disgusting just saying it so don't make me repeat what I shamefully just said." I told Collin. "Fine!" Collin whined in a baby voice trying to be funny. "Cut the baby talk not that you looked like one a minute ago!" I insulted him. "Ouch." Flare mutters under her breath. "I think she might've got you." Asher whispers. "Leave my house!" Nova attempt to shoo them away. "I am waiting for the lovely Serenity." Asher says stopping from exiting the door. "Serenity go." Nova said as Serenity happily made her way out of the house with Asher by her side. "I'm watching you, Asher! I'm always watching you! Yes, I know that you spilled cow milk all over the tavern floor because Shadow slipped and fell." I yell out to Asher. "Talk about creep." Flare says. "Flare, watch your mouth." I warn. "She's good." Ryder whispers to Collin. "I know to be extra careful around her. When you don't think anyone is watching, she'll be there hiding." Collin says. "Ryder, your singing is making the crops die. Singing won't help grow the crops you already killed grow back." I teased but his singing voice could use improvement. "And yours couldn't?" Collin responds. "That's why I don't sing because I think the last time I did I saw birds falling out of the trees." I said flatly. "At least we know why the birds are dying." Ryder choked as Collin glared at him.
