Watching the witch burn

" now come inside we must get ready the party is at the Gilberts and they do not like their guests to be late" said Miss Pearl ushering us inside. Me and Emily quickly but gracefully climbed the long windind staircase to miss pearls room where we would get her ready and she would give us our dresses to take to our maids rooms to get ready.

Miss Pearl came into her room quickly behind us and went straight to her closet and swung open the magnifecent gold and silver doors. She quickly pulled out a long silver gown that had been embroidered with little gold stars around the neck line. The sleeves were short and poofed out and had slits in them letting gold fabric shine though. "I will be wearing this and Emily darling you must wear this she said lying her dress down on her bed and pulling out a long emerald dress with a plunged waist. It was strapless so had a built in corset to keep it tight and on." oh Emily it gorgeous" I say running over to run my hand along the silky fabric." no no no, Belatrix this is for you" said Miss Pearl tapping my hand in a gesture to take my hand off the dress. She pulled out an identical dress except in crimson." oh Miss Pearl it's wonderful" I say pulling it close to me and stroking the fabric up and down." now go get ready girls we only have twenty minutes" " no Miss Pearl you have done so much for us we must help you get ready" I say to her sweetly as though it would be an honor to help her get ready." if you must girls" says Miss Pearl.

Soon Miss Pearl , Emily and me are standing at the Gilbert's front door.Miss Pearl has her long black hair pinned up in a bun, she was wearing a shall over her silver gown. Emily and I had our hair loose around our sholders and had no shall , just our dresses and shoes.

The door opened and Mr.Gilbert stood there with a huge grin on his face." Pearl darling how are you? Emily and Belatrix , how are you girls is Pearl still making you help her get ready?" wow he sure is chatty and I didn't even know he knew I existed." now belatrix we must talk later about ... arrangements" said Mr.Gilbert with a small grin slowly spreading on his face." okay" I agreed slowly. I had this feeling that whatever he wanted to talk about will probaly shock me.
