Rapidly Scarlett put on the flawless red dress and stared at herself in the mirror for a while, admiring how beautiful she looked.

The mask was next after the leggings and dark red high-heels. Again she looked at herself in the mirror before placing the mask on her face. She watched as the top half of her face disappeared slowly behind the mask, leaving only her brown eyes visible along with her bright red covered in lipstick lips.

Scarlett grabbed a weapon and stared at it for while before hiding the knife on a hidden place the layers of the dress were hiding.
Curls were formed on her hair and finally she was ready for "the hunt".

.....................
All the people had arrived , serving themselves, and making themselves comfortable. Scarlett had escaped from the castle and left a note explaining her absence.

Dear Minha,
I shall be gone while the ball remains, please don't expect me to be back after it has ended.
Throw away the books I have laying on my table (they are useless) and have a wonderful day.
From, your queen.

Scarlett needed to appear as if she was one of the people attending the ball, the seven men were nowhere in sight.
Entering her own ballroom, she looked around noticing how her dress was slightly different from all the others, women eyeing her in envy, men watched her in desire.

She found an empty spot in which she could wait until their arrival.
A random unknown gentleman walked towards her, back straight, and eyes meeting hers. His eyes seemed extremely familiar almost as if she knew the man, once he was fully in front of her with her attention, he stretched out his hand.

The gentleman was asking for a dance, Scarlett raised a brow then took his hand in approval of his request.

They began to dance, his right hand clutching her waist while his left caressed her hand. The color of his skin, the color of his eyes, and even his smell was too familiar, something was wrong.

Even if Scarlett tried, nothing could bring her to the slightest clue of who he was.
"And what shall be your name? "
She asked, her feet dancing to the rhythm of the music along with his.
"You can call me whatever you desire, what is your name? "
Exactly by his voice, the way it would send shock and paralysis through her, it was Jungkook....
"My name is... S-sarah. Please call me Sarah. "
She didn't know what to do, him Jungkook, a deadly creature was standing in front of her, holding onto her hand and waist tightly as if he were to loose her.

"Then Sarah, what brings a beautiful woman like you here? " (Jungkook)
"Well, as you can see, everyone was invited in case you didn't know...." (Scarlett)
A tint of red shone on his cheeks full of embarrassment. The song ended letting her escape his grip, she bowed down in respect then began to search for the others.

"May I have the next dance. "
Another man asked, he was waiting for an answer, she nodded and let him lead the dance.
"I wonder why the queen didn't come to the ball today. "
He said Scarlett hadn't yet seen his eyes, they were closed shut as he danced.
"Yes.. I wonder too. "
This time he opened his eyes and a light brown was spotted in them, quickly she recognized him just by the eyes.... Taehyung.

The memory of when his gaze was asking for more blood came rushing into her mind earning a gasp which escaped from her mouth by the fear.
"So Taehyung.... Why would you--"
He cut her off with a question that made her fear everyone and everything around her.
"How did you know my name? "
His gaze on her again full of curiosity, concern and confusion.
"I h-have heard it....somewhere before. "
She needed to escape him as soon as possible before she caused anymore trouble.

No I can't think about him... Or any of my plans right now.

To her surprise he didn't react and instead fell for her lie, after the song he bowed down then vanished from her view through the people.

I need to look for them or--

Scarlett bumped into something hard and stiff almost too hard to be human.
Looking up she saw another man standing his ground strongly.
"I'm sorry"
She bowed to him as an apology but before leaving she glanced back at him.

The way his body felt against hers was exactly how.... Nam Joon's did.
She tried looking through the mask and apparently it was him. There was no gentle or calm expression on his face and just ignored her apology.

Scarlett walked through the ball, and of course there is always yoongi who doesn't care for her rules, for her life, or even her blood.... He did care for her blood, but not as much as the others.

He was sitting next to a woman, they talked and talked only she seemed to be laughing at her own jokes while he would barely speak to her or even dare take the smallest glance at her.

Something inside Scarlett kept telling her to search for Jin... He needed to be there somewhere. The man who had tried saving her life, the one who had truly cared for her since the beginning.

"Looking for anyone? "
A sexy voice coming from her side asked. BShe quickly reacted and turned to see, to get surprise she had no trouble recognizing him..... It was Jimin.

His beautiful hair flowed perfectly, his shape just perfect for the suit he was wearing, and his lips which were now even more visible thanks to the mask that covered the top half of his face.
"No, not in particular. "
She gulped at his godly sight.
"Scarlett... Scarlett... Scarlett you think I don't know it's you? "
He clicked his tongue as he said he told name. Fear was now eating her alive at his words.
"W-who is Scarlett? Wait are you saying that I look like our queen? How generous of you.. "
That was the only way to fix it, pretending as if he had asked something extremely different yet understandable for her answer.
"Yes, you look a little too much like our queen. "
He licked his plump lips, his arms wrapped around her seductively.
"I command-- I mean, I.. Please let go... "
She screwed up big... Only the queen would say the words "I command".
"And you speak like our queen too"
Good thing is that he thought she was playing a role as the queen, he wasn't taking it seriously.

His lips met hers, but she was feeling nothing there was no connection. As if he knew he wasn't pleasing her with his kisses he moved down to her neck kissing and biting it gently.
"J-jimin not here. "
His kisses came to a sudden stop and she realized her mistake.

"How do you know my name? "
