Humanity (The Balcoin-Hale Chronicles)

Chapter Seven

The next morning was pretty normal. Thalia climbed out of bed, took a shower, got dressed, and went down stairs for breakfast. Jax decided not to take a shower, so he got dressed, and went down stairs for breakfast. Jax and Thalia ate breakfast without saying a word to each other. A lot of the originals arrived early, most of them were going to stay the night. They figured the ball would go somewhat late. It was the first ball that all species were invited to. This was history in the making.

The rest of the day was pretty normal everyone was just waiting for the ball tonight. Thalia went dress shopping with her grandma's. Thalia had to try on like a dozen dresses until she found the one her grandma's liked. While Jax had to shop for a tux with his grandpa's. They were there for an hour or two getting it fitted. They eventually went back to the castle. Jax and Thalia wouldn't until later that night. They didn't watch any TV they just read books until they were told it was time to started getting ready.

A women helped Thalia do her hair and makeup. Her hair was curly and she wore a long blue dress. Rose walked in with a box. She said "I got a present for you" and handed it to Thalia. The women walked out of the room. Thalia opened the box to see a diamond tiara in it.

She picked it up and said "it's a tiara."

Rose said "your first" as she wrapped her arms around Thalia.

Thalia wrapped her arms around Rose and said "thanks grandma." They let go of each other and Rose helped Thalia put it on. Thalia looked in the mirror and said "I can wear this right."

Rose said "I already talked to Dragon Flame she said its ok."

"Thanks grandma."

"That's also from your grandpa, your moms parents got Jax one too."

Thalia said "they got Jax a tiara, oh he'll look so adorable."

James said "they got him a crown not a tiara" as he walked into the room.

Thalia said "Hi grandpa."

"Hi sweetie, I have to steal your grandma."

Thalia said "she's all yours." Rose and James walked out of the room hand in hand. Thalia grabbed her phone and walked to Jax's room. Thalia knocked on the open door and said "can I come in?" Jax had a crown on his head and was wearing a black tux.

He said "go ahead."

Thalia walked in and said "nice monkey suit."

"Nice dress but it's not really-"

Thalia said "Me, I know grandma's picked it out."

"You're lucky they didn't pick a pink and puffy dress" Jax said.

"I hate pink."

"I know and you know mom and dad are going to be here."

Thalia said "how do you know that?"

"I talked to them."

"Jax why would you talk to them they abandoned us."

"It wasn't like that Thalia and you know it."

"No I don't they abandoned us."

"They're our parents Thalia."

"They're not my parents."

Charity walked into the room and said "it's time to go guys."

Thalia and Jax said "not now" in unison.
