House of the Dolls

Chapter 1

'' Whoa you loved playing the piano''

'' I know mother said music is improper for a young man''

'' Why not?''

'' Because if my sisters found out that i have a musical talent,they'll go crazy with jealousy.''

'' Juan Luis get your butt over here!''

'' We gotta get outta here now!''

They heard a thunder crash and rain pouring on them.

They're going to the woods in order to help him escape his older sisters' bullying,but they fall into the ghostly green portal.

They're awaken to see ghosts and strange creatures and they screamed.

"Now, now what's all this screaming for?" A gentle voice asked from behind them. They turned around to see a ghost woman dressed in white.

A shower of ghostly dust fell upon their changing their ragged clothes in beautiful 1930s evening outfits. The ash and soot on their face was washed away while her hair was styled up and with strings of pearls tied into it. On her feet were a pair of adorably spooky slippers.

"You like?"

"It's perfect."

"Alright now hurry up, you don't want to be late and remember be back before midnight."

"Why?"

"Because everything will go back to the way it was."

"Okay. Thank you''

"Remember it all ends at midnight."

The skeletal footmen then helped Maribela and Juan Luis into the carriage. The coachman then had the horses take them to the House of the Dolls. Inside creepy yet beautiful music was being played and all the guests were talking and dancing. A ghost emcee was curious to what had caught everyone's attention he followed their gaze which led to a carriage arriving and carrying Maribela and Juan Luis who looked as beautiful. The ghost guests awed at their beauty.He himself helped her out of the carriage and led her to the ballroom where all eyes were on her.

"Why is everyone staring at us?" She asked him nervously.

"They're not staring at me. They're staring at you." He said.

"Why? Do I look bad?"

"No of course not."

"Then why are they staring at me?"

"Because out of all the young ladies here you are the most beautiful." He said kissing her hand making her blush. "May I have this dance?"

"It would be my honor sir."

1930s creepy yet beautiful music played and the two of them began to dance. As for everyone else at the ball they could not help but marvel at the beautiful girl who had captured the neurotic man's heart. Maribela was having the time of her life, she enjoyed dancing, the food was delicious, but most of all she loved being with Juan Luis. He was so handsome and sweet and nervous. She had never met a more wonderful man but when the clock chimed eleven they knew they had to leave.
