Death's Kiss

Adira:
Confusion was a strong feeling. You constantly hear about love and hate but, when you're faced with utter confusion...nothing makes sense. You try to grasp reality as it slips through your fingers. A beautiful ballroom filled with gilded things and people.
Blood on the floor...my blood.
A beautiful stranger looking at me with horror.
A beautiful acquaintance grinning maniacally.
I came to the dance hoping for a Cinderella moment. I instead got tricked and killed like Snow White.
