"It's loud in here." Darren said.
"What's wrong with your ears?" I asked tugging on them. "It's not loud in here at all!'
"Amy I think it's your ears."
"Oh shut up!" I looked around. It was a ball held by the Viscount of Druitt. I looked around and spotted him surrounded by women. "Ofcorse he's surrounded." I whispered to myself.
"Hm? What was that?" Darren asked.
"Oh nothing of your concern." I said still looking at the viscount.
"Why do you keep staring at him? You're here with me!" Just then the music came on. "Would you like to dance?" He said bowing. I sighed and put my hand in his outstretched hand. We danced all around the room.
"Darren." I whispered In his ear.
"Yes?" He whispered back.
"I'm starting to get tired." I said.
He lead us to the side.
"Want a drink?" He asked.
I nodded. As he walked away I patted my dress. It was black at the bottom and white on the top. Quite like my favorite bird the Magpie. I could tell that someone was coming up behind me so I turned around. It was the Viscount.
"Oh, hello my Lord." I said
" You look quite like a Magpie in that dress . It suits you." He said.
"Thank you." I felt my face get warm.
"Your face is red. Are you okay."
"huh! Oh yeah. I'm fine." I said.
"You looked just like a little bird when you were dancing." He commented.
"Hey Amy!" I heard Darren call from behind me before I could say anything. I turned around and saw him glaring angrily at me.
"So your name's Amy?" The viscount asked.
"Yes." I heard Darren call my name again." Sorry. I'll be back."
"Take your time." He said as I turned to go see what Darren wanted.
Aleister POV:
He watched as Amy walked back to that man.
"Perfect." He thought. "She's perfect. I want her for myself." He walked over to where they were and heard them arguing.
"No, I will not stay away from him." Amy said. "He's nothing like what you think!"
"I don't care." The man that was with her said. "I don't like what some people say about him."
"Could he know?" He thought. "I need to know.. or get her away from him before he tells her."
"No!" Amy said. "If you have anything to say against him then just leave!"
"What?" The man said.
"You heard me Darren! Now just leave."
Darren stiffened then sighed. "Fine." He said then left.
Aleister took this chance to come up.
"Why is he leaving?" he asked.
"He thinks that you're not a good person. Just because of some rumors." She said. "But I don't believe him."
Aleister was relieved. "Good." He thought. "Now to make her mine."
Amy:
He nodded.
"People always make such things up." He said. "Just to get someone not to like another."
"True." I said.
"Ah. Another dance is starting." He held out his hand to me. "May I have this dance, little magpie?"
I blushed and put my hand in his.
"Yes you may have this dance with me." I said. He lead me out to the dance floor and we starting to the string quartet. They were playing the "Dance Macabre."
Not even half way into the song I was starting to get tired. I wasn't much of a cancer but mostly it was the fact that I was getting sleepy. The viscount must have been able to tell because he started to lead me to the side.
"Tired?" He asked.
I nodded and said, "Sleepy."
"Come." He said grabbing my arm.
"Oh-no. You don't have to." I said.
"Don't worry." He said. "It's fine."
I sighed and followed him.
Aleister:
He lead her down a hallway to a room filled with fumes that would knock her out.
"Through here." He said holding open the door. As she walked through he felt a sudden lust for her. He closed the door and turned around right before she collapsed. He ran up and caught her. He gently moved the hair out from her face.
"W-was Darren right?" she whispered.
"No." He whispered back. "He wasn't."
As her eyes closed and she slowly drifted into sleep Aleister leaned his head down. When his lips met hers, her eyes shot open.
"Shhhh." He said putting a finger up to her lips. "Shh." He moved his finger and kissed her again. This time when he moved away she pulled him back down to her. She kissed him lightly. Then she fell into sleep. He picked her up and carried her into his room. He layed her down gently and went to find a large shirt. Once he found one he came back to her and stripped off everything that she was wearing except her undergarments. He buttoned up the shirt and pulled the sheets up over her. "I'll be back." He whispered in her ear then kissed her cheak. He left to see that all of the guests had left before returning to his darling little Magpie.
