Chapter 十七
Dress
"Explain to me, again, why I have to wear something like this?!" Morgan had thrown a bag at me earlier this evening before I left for class, telling me I'd have to wear it tonight. I was in a rush, so I just threw it on my dresser and ran out the door, for the past few days Hiro had disappeared from the academy and Morgan had been hiding out in my room.
The stupid vampire male just ignored me, his two coloured eyes giving me a once over before he nodded in a sort of approval. "Not bad, who knew a cutting board could cleanup so nicely. The clothes really make the woman, huh?" I threw the closest thing I could grab at him, a pillow, but unfortunately the lazy jerk dodged. "That dress was tailored based on the dresses of the Ming dynasty in 1368-1644 AD China. Though a slight twist in design to have it more cinched at the waist was made to give it a more modern appeal."
A wine red and black hanfu style tress with jade green silk and golden embroidering flowed along my silhouette like a gentle river, my skin drinking in the feeling of the silk against it. The dress was beautiful, sure, but I still did not understand why I had been put into it.
Before I could give voice to the questions swimming in my mind, the sound of a scoff cut into the air of the room. It was uncle, sitting on my dresser like a regal cat. Well, at the moment he was a cat so... "What is the point of dolling up the child?"
Morgan threw on his black jacket and searched his pockets while speaking. "Because there is a party being held and I need someone to go in a gather information. What better than to use a pretty little girl to help with that, two people to cover more ground." He then went over to my windows and threw them open, stepping on the ledge; ready to leap out. "I'll meet you at the gates in ten, the other three are on standby scouting the party location." With that, he was gone.
I turned my attention to uncle, both of us sharing a look. "I just wanted to live my life, how did I end up in a dress?"
"Don't look at me, I'm stuck in a cat's body."

Hey, it's been a long time, I know. I suck.
Wonder if there's still anyone reading this...
Anyways, as of the time of me posting this, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
The image above as a dress reference is from a game called Miracle Nikki, found it on Google. Thought I'd slip in some reference to my culture into the story, also I do sewing projects on the side and a hanfu dress is my current ongoing project.
I'm starting to run dry on ideas, and sanity since university is kicking both my a** and my wallet...😭😭😭
If anyone has any ideas on how I should continue this I would love to hear it!
