-----------------------------------------

The Silver Gale Ball. It was something that the Suzuki family set up every year before Christmas. How'd I get roped into this nonsense? You grumbled to yourself.

You fixed your dress uncomfortably. You didn't wear dresses. Dresses were worse than ribbons. Sure, like any girl, you'd fantasized about being swept off your feet like Cinderella, but what were the chances of that happening.

You wore a plain black dress, and a plain black mask.

You weren't much for the flashy and extravagant. You loved it, of course, but life had turned you from a fabulous Cinderella girl, into a plain everyday person.

You walked into the large ballroom, with vaulted ceilings, and marvelous chandeliers. You glanced around, and nervously tugged the left side of your dress. You couldn't recognize anyone through all the masks, but you didn't want anyone to notice the scar that was hidden under the edge of your dress. It was covered, but still you felt self conscious about it.

You walked to the edge of the room, and sat in the shadow of one of the many grand pillars that lined the hall. You didn't know anyone. You were after all, a dead girl, living the life of a thief. You weren't there for fun, on the contrary, you were currently on a heist.

The Black Star Pearl. One of many expensive and gaudy pieces that adorned the equally expensive and gaudy women that danced around the hall without a care in the world. You stifled a yawn as you watched everyone dancing and twirling in a hypnotic array of colors.

A man approached you, and held out a hand. "Would you care to dance?"

The 'man' was actually a boy. Based on his voice, he was around the same age as you. He wore a black suit, with a white shirt, and a royal blue tie. His pants and shoes matched his coat, and his mask was silver with intricate swirls adorning the shimmering metal.
