I release at the familiarity of my maids doing my hair and makeup. Going they are getting me ready for a masquerade ball. The palace as been very busy with all then people coming for the ball. But I still don't know what the ball is for. All I know is there is gonna be a big announcement. I'm very excited and so are the rest of the elite. The queen organized the whole thing by herself she didn't want any of our help. So we all want to see what it looks like. The only king we know is that its a masquerade ball. So that's why my maids are taking there time doing my hair and not as much time on my makeup. They've curled my hair and are leaving it down in simple ringlets but are placing some blue sparkle coins in it at curtain spots. the do give me some makeup but not much just some eyeliner ,blush and lip gloss. They tell me that they just finished my dress this after noon. Its sky blue from the top to about my knees where it turns dark blue. The top is fitted a and strapless and as gems all over. The bottom is all ruffles but it isn't a complete ball gown. My mask is beautiful its tturquoise and as silver accents with blue sparkles and a few feathers. It gets tied under my hair so you can't see the string. It makes me look mysterious and yet very elegant.
I walk down the hall to meat the rest of the eilte for our entrance. I sit on a couch with Elise and talk while we wait for Celeste to finish getting ready.
"So what do you think this ball is for" She says quietly.
"I don't know but they made sure they invited a lot of people for it"
"Yeah, I was walking around the gardens yesterday and I thought I saw someone that looked like Natalie, but why would Natalie be here?"
I sit there shocked trying to ,make sense of what she just said. "yeah I saw someone that looked like Tiny the other day too"
We go sat there trying to figure out what was going on. Why were Natalie and Tiny here? Were the other girls from the Selection here too? But why?
