Alaina's P.O.V

Tonight is the night that the kingdom of Pamina will host a ball for the girls who are seventeen. It is tradition that girls present our powers or "gifts" in front of the kingdom, due to the fact that we are not allow to show our gifts to anyone one exept our paretns until the ball. unlike me i haven't showed anyone, not even my parents my "gift" cause i believe if they know what it was they would not want to be around me. There's one thing that i left out about the ball also. Once all the girls are there at midnight we will get our markings...are soul mate markings. I heard of a few stories where some girls never found there soul mate. In my heart i feel that i will be one of those girls. who could honestly be in love with a girl who is different like me.

walking over to the mirror i pulled out my ponytail and looked at myself in the mirror. my black hair with curls at the end falls past my tanish carmel colored skin. looking at my face i stare at my sparkly siliver eyes that i got from my dad unlike my mom who has green eyes. then looking at my rosey red colored pouty lips that has never been kissed and my high cheek bones, i sigh. i picked up the letter about the ball that came in last week. it said......

It is a pleasure to know that your daughter Alaina will be joining us at the ball.

were a dress that is appropiate and will give us a hint of your personality and gift.

Can't wait to meet you and have you at the ball...

i stopped reading the letter when my mom came in with my dress. Her wavy blond hair bouncing up and down as she came running in with a smile across her face.

" your dress came in today sweety!!!! oh can i see it please!!! i wanna know what it looks like!" mom said eagerly as she was trying to open the box the dress came in.

"no mom. i told you, you won't get to see the dress until i'm in it and ready to show you."

"ugh!! you won't show your father and i your power even if you had one, and now you won't give me a hint my showing my your dress." with what she said she walked out of my room and slammed my door. my mom and i look alike. except for the fact that she's blond and i have black hair she's on the pale side and i'm tan and she has green eyes i have silver. other than that we had the same shaped nose pouty rosey red lips and high check bones. my mom is completely oppisite than what i am. She's to nice and always caring. don't get me wronge i can be nice and caring but i just prefer to take care of my self and my self only. mom wants to take care of everyone due to the fact that her gift is healing...yet another reason why i won't show her my gift. sighing i looked over at the clock that was on my mohagony night stand, 6:30 pm. oh no... the ball starts at 8:00. i need to get ready jumping in the shower and washing i put on my house robe and went out in my bed room to find make and hair stylist everywhere. well i know this will take a whille......

It took an hour to to get my hair and make up down and i jumped into my ball gown with my made leslie tighting my corset part of the dress. once i was down my dad called up from down stairs "It's time to go!"

taking at quick look in the mirror i was shocked. my dark hair was pulled up in and bun with curls excaping here and there with silver designer pearls placed in different part on my bun. my eye make up was smokey grey with black eye liner and mascara that made my silver eyes sparkle. the dress is what make everything look so perfect. they color was a greyish black color that had a intricat design at the top of the corset that followed down my back the circled the bottom of my dress. The girl in the mirror did not look like me. She looked like a goddess.
