"Good Evening Everyone and Welcome to our annual Halloween Masquerade Charity Ball, as you many of you know every year do something different to raise funds for charity this year we are holding an auction of women who volunteered to do this." which was followed by clapping as your choice of champagne or none alcoholic sparkling cider is passed out "Now! on to the rules of the auction ladies and gentlemen as you can see everyone is in costume as this is a Halloween party" followed by laughter "The ladies that volunteered will be presented one at time with a starting bid of €35000 euros the winning bid gains a of night dinner and dancing at Ristorante Al Cristo with the lovely lady the proceeds go to the charity of the lady's charity of choice of which she has already submitted prior to this event... Now! gentleman these ladies may have some personal connection to you or a work one but here in this room please keep it friendly we are all here for the ladies aren't they joy to see but no we are all here for a good cause" more clapping some whistling I roll my eyes as they sparkle then I spot the Romanian princess and prince kinda hard to miss the black and red hair "Excuse me for a moment Craven" I try not to drink as I never know when I'll get called to assignment I saunter up to the pair we've met many times before it's their birthday as is mine "Evening your highnesses" I smile "Oh! good evening Rayne, didn't think we'd see you here" "Or I.. you, I'm on long term recovery mission so I'll be round, what brings you to Veròna?" "We thought we get out of Romania for a little bit so we flew over with Opal Dark, apparently her mother is dying" "I know I've been put on her case, my reaper just bought out her brother's company and I'm the one that called your mother on her father's behalf do to language barriers" "My aren't you a busy one how's your family" I giggle "Both my brothers got official names my twin is Hail Alexander Storm right now he's babysitting Lightning as they are both here in the city on assignment under my command in manner of speak my baby brother name is Thunder Steven Storm safe to say the four of us make the perfect hurricane" we giggle together "That's rather funny but true" I notice the Princess looking little pale I turn to a waiter "Excuse me, can her highness get a glass of burgundy! please" I wink at her "Right away! Miss" "What are you doin? Rayne, I..." "Hush your highness, I know what I'm doing and I'm certainly not guiding your sister to the the underworld on our birthday, do you understand me?" "Yes, of course! I would never presume to argue with a dark angel when they have the power prolong or take a life, I'm sorry Rayne that was stupid of me, I forget my place and yours sometimes" just then the waiter arrives with glass of burgundy wine in a large crystal goblet "Thank you" I say as take the goblet from the tray he nods walks away I take deep breath close my eyes then blow into the glass it bubbles once I hand it her "Go ahead take a sip worry not I'm well aware of your special diet we dark angel families tend to keep track of our family case files" as she takes a sip she immediately starts to look a little better there's a glow in her eyes again "How do you mean?" "If a dark angel and reaper retire for example the family case file in their possession like your family would move onto the next generation... here's better example your family case file which belongs to my family, my mother guided your great grandparents to the underworld now when my parents retire that file will pass on to me and Lightning to handle as only dark angels deal with vampires" "Ah! I see so you tend to keep track of the family members in that file should you come across them and you need pull a rabbit out of a hat sort of speak" I giggle and nod smiling "Yeah something like that, so will you be participating in the auction this evening your highnesses" "No, but we did donate of course" "Of course! I'm up for auction my charity is child cancer research" "I can certainly understand why" then I felt a presence come up behind me "We donated to cancer research in general" "Ah! Craven, sorry allow me... this is their highnesses the Bat Prince Vladimir and the Dragon Princess Lesitwa Tepesh from Romania... your highnesses, Craven Dark... Opal's older brother" I smile and signal in sign that he doesn't know anything about me as a dark angel or that they are vampires Les smiles at me and nods her ok "Hello..." he says "Hello..." they say in unison "Rayne, my dear could I trouble you for a birthday dance as I can dance with with my twin sister any day of week but yet I don't see yours anywhere it is not your birthday as well as ours" as he holds out his hand with bow and a hand behind his back "I'd be delighted your highness" with a slight curtesy as I take it I lower my glittering eyes and nod smiling he kisses top of my hand as he guides me to the dance floor "Please call me Vlad, I must say you look simply ravishing in that dress I can only imagine what your reaper was thinking when you left tonight" I smile slyly as he spins me round the dance floor "You can ask him yourself Vlad as he'll be here any moment to represent Reaper Design Industries that's what we are naming the company we bought out from Craven Dark just this afternoon it was finalized" "Tell me Rayne would you be interested in taking on some of my sisters designer's designs" I look at him with my glittering eyes smiling "My reaper has been given a name it's Jareth Labyrinth... we would be honored to work with Lady De'Luca video conference calls, color fax, whatever it's all available" "Perhaps we can stop in, see what you have goin on? Les and I plan to be in town till Tuesday afternoon" as we head off the dance floor I quickly pull my phone, he pulls his we tap them together exchange numbers I see J coming our direction "Evening Everyone, your highness may I have this dance" asking with a bow holding his hand out and a behind his back "I'd be delighted Jareth" she replies taking his offered hand he kisses the top of it guides her to the dance floor, oh the Dragon Prince why did I not see him before I smile "Bartholimue" I barely breathe his name "Cresicà:" he responds "Forgive me ladies allow me to introduce you to my brother-in-law Bartholimue Menrowa" I nod with a slight curtesy smile I hold my hand out to shake but instead he kisses the top of it "Cresic vin dora yesa:" then Craven broke in "Rayne will you please grace me with a dance" "Yes, of course Craven" "That leaves us with these 2 beautiful ladies..." "Zora" holding out her hand instead of shaking it Vlad takes it kisses the top of it then slips it into the crock of his arm guides her the dance floor "Nefertiti" Bartholimue does the same thing we follow as we spin bout the floor it's not long before the band begins playing a song I know the words to I begin singing as we dance
