Chapter 6: The Ball

I opened my eyes to the sun pouring out my window. It was finally the day of the ball. Yesterday Jack came over and helped me with the rest of the decorating and planning. I was so grateful for his help; I would’ve been up all night setting up if it weren’t for him. I stretched my limbs as I rose out of bed to go do my morning routine. The ball was starting in the early evening and Jack said he’d be coming around the late afternoon if possible.

   I stepped into my bathroom and turned on the water for my bath. I then continued to slip off my nightgown and took a look at myself in the mirror. My snowy skin created a glare in the mirror as I observed myself carefully. My pale blonde waves fell softly over my shoulder as I pulled all of my hair onto one side. I clasp my hands together and closed my eyes tightly. Please let everything turn out right tonight at the ball. I know you can hear me somehow, and I beg of you to spare me of the disaster like last time. I would appreciate it greatly Moon.

  I turned back around and slowly dipped myself into my warm bath. I quickly washed my hair and body until I then tilted my head back to rest it upon the edge of the pearly white tub; thus trying to relax my nerves. I let out a sigh in content as I closed my eyes.

“I think I’ll stay in here a little longer.”

   I opened my eyes to find myself still in the tub and I jolted awake. The water sloshed around me and some spilled out the sides from my sudden movement. Oh goodness, how long have I been asleep for? I’m relieved that I didn’t drown! Then a knock suddenly came at the door.

“Elsa, it’s Jack. Are you in there? Your sister has been wondering where you’ve been?” He called for me on the other side of the door.

“Y-yes I’m in here, and I’m fine!” I reply, answering to his pleas.

“Is it okay if I come in?” He requested and I responded immediately as I quickly covered myself in case he did come barging in.

  “N-NO! I’m fine,” I stammered as I rose from my bath and the waters dripped off of my body. I swiftly grabbed my towel to wrap it around me. I then drained the water from my bath and opened the bathroom door to find him sitting casually on my still unmade bed. I’d better call a maid to tend to that later. I made a mental note.

“What were you doing in there anyway?” Jack asked as his brows furrowed, he looked slightly unhappy.

“I was bathing,” I stated simply as I turned my back to him and faced my closet.

“It took you four hours to bathe?” He retorted. FOUR HOURS? I swiftly turned around to glance at the clock. It had been fifteen past noon.

“I was napping for that long?” I asked myself aloud.
