It'd been years since I've seen anyone from my past . Actually a few centuries is probably more accurate . My past is something I don't wish to remember , but I guess I should just rip off the band - aid and get it over with .....

My name ...... Sydney Katelina ( Kate-E-Lina ) Petrova .

Bulgaria 1490 

" Syd , Syd ! " I heard my sister's voice from upstairs .

" What is is it , Katerina ? " I yelled back.

" Aren't you going to get ready for the ball ?!!?! "

" Should I ? "

" Of COURSE ! "

I sighed and put down my book .

" But , Kat , I don't know if I WANT to go . Can't I read ? "

" Reading is boring ! "

" Is not ! "

I heard Katerina giggle .

" Please ..... "

" Oh , fine ! " I said giving in . She annoyed me sometimes even though she was older .

Katerina and I were total opposites , I thought as I jogged upstairs and down the hall to my room .

I sat down in front of the mirror and pulled the brush through my thick dark hair . It was darker then Katerina's but I was fairer in skin tone , while Katerina was tanner . I was an inch or two shorter and I was a little thinner and had hazel eyes ( Mostly goldish - brownish hazel ) and red lips . I never really thought anything of my looks . Never thought about if I was pretty or not , but that night I would .

Katerina walked in and tightened my corset , causing my eyes to bug out of my head and her laughter .

" Ridiculous ! Stupid corsets ! " I added as Katerina helped me into my elegant blue and silver  dress .

" I can do your hair ." Katerina offered .

" Can't I just leave it down ?"

Katerina gasped .

" NO ! "

" Fine , then I'll stick a comb in it ! "

I reached into a small wooden box and pulled out a sliver comb with pearls .

Katerina tucked it neatly in my dark brunette hair , that was a shade or two away from black .

" There . " Katerina said satisfied as she linked arms with me and walked downstairs .

" Have a good time girls ! " Mamma called after us .

We both nodded and started towards the ball .
