-sorry for any name misspellings I tried my best-

"WHAT!"i exclaimed, looking at my maid who had recently handed me a letter

"young mistress, please calm yourself" my maid Sofia asked

"how can I, yet another ball that iv been invited too"i sighed "all of these things are going to kill me, Sofia! Just decline it please"

"but mistress some very important people will be there"Sofia tried to convince me

"very well ill go"

"thank you mistress"

"but I'm going alone this time"

but mistress!"

I'm going alone and that's final, Sofia" also if I am to attend this ball I will need you to get me a new dress from town immediately"

"yes, young mistress" Sofia bowed and left

I made my way to my room to attend to my hair, only to run into another one of my servants whom insisted she brush my hair.

"mistress, Sofia tells me you going to a ball to nite" Elise stated as she combed my strait beret hair for the billionth time.

"yes, but I'm going alone"i replayed annoyed

"mistress?" Sofia poked her head through the door of my bedroom a few hours later

"what is it"i was quite annoyed again as I was reading a book

"it is exactly 1 hour before you leave, and I have brought your dress"she said timidly

"very well, leave it here ill get dressed my self"i said as Sofia left the dress on my bed and left

I picked up the dress and got a good look at it, navy blue long with a silky white waterfall down the front with a square collar and short sleeves.

Yes a lovely choice, obviously made by Mrs. lea my tailor

a half hour later I was in my dress peering in a mirror.

I gave a halfhearted sigh before stating "I'm Riku Moonshadow, the head of this estate" then I sighed "how the hell did Sofia convince me to do this"

yet another half hour later Sofia peered into the room "mistress you carriage is here"

"very well ill be down in a Minuit" I said as I could not help thinking that the inevitable had come.

Stepping out of the carriage some time later, groggy from falling asleep. I was taken by the sight of the lovely manor in witch the ball was to be held, it was lovely and big. As I stepped into the large hall a man dressed in a black suit accompanied by a boy who looked to be my age introduced himself.

"i am Sebastian michaelis, butler to the earl phantomhive" he bowed and pointed to the young boy beside him whom was dressed in blue with an eye patch over his rite eye. The earl phantomhive as he had been introduced looked as if he was trying his best not to frown, which was a failed attempt.

"i am Riku Moonshadow"i curtseyed "it is a pleasure to meet you earl phantomhive"i said as I walked away glad to have that over with.

Not looking where I was going, I was suddenly asked to dace by a blond boy, only to be polite I accepted but he gave me an almost odd feeling.

"I'm Alios Trancy" he stated as he dragged me, only half paying attention, onto the dace floor. As my attention had been caught once again by the blue eyed boy with the eye patch.

Alios tugged me farther away from the boy, as if he knew I was captivated. At that moment I realized, I have no dancing experience, nor do I know how to dance.

And yet as the boy named Alios pulled me around to look at him, or was he looking at me?

I couldn't tell, but then he smiled, his smile like poison-coated candy, it made my insides cringe then he spoke... "if I am correct you are miss. Moonshadow"

"that is correct"i was starting to distaste this 'alois' boy
