Author's Note: Hey, I haven't done one of these in a long time, but this plot bunny would not leave me alone, so I wrote some of it down. But this is only the start. I highly hope you enjoy, and leave love, hate, questions, comments, etc. xoxo tophat1918
BTW, song rec at the bottom if you didn't figure it out.

Eager Eyes: Prologue
She was wearing a sea foam green dress that made her pale skin luminous, but the material of the skirt was sheer, showing off her black garters. Her dark hair was a mass of curls around her face. I watched her from a distance as she took a seat in an empty velvet chair to wait. Her eyes sparkled with glitter, her luscious lips a soft red. I was off on the stage at the piano giving the patrons something to listen to while they made their selections. None of them ever really seemed to care about the musicians, we were just background noise, something that called the girls to dance once in a while. Suddenly, I saw something fly her way, and she easily caught it.
An apple.
My jaw tightened.
She quickly looked toward the back of the room where he was waiting, a smirk on his face. This was Aro's dominion, his den of sin and debauchery. I was hired, a dancing monkey meant to perform and smile. He owned the girls, they did as they were told. She looked to him, placing the apple on a side table, and he pointed over her shoulder. She took a short glance before rising and sauntering over to a rat-faced guy in a tux. Unlike some of the others, he was very much aware of what surrounded him, and greedily pulled her down on to his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing his cheek and whispering in his ear while his hand roamed her outer thigh. He said something I couldn't hear, but she laughed, pulling him closer to kiss him fully on the mouth.
He looked like a predator with her in his grasp as his hands began to seek out her breasts above the material of her gown. She lightly touched his face and once again put her lips to his ear. He smiled, watching her stand and reach for his hand. She gave him a bright smile in return, towing him out of the room. I hit the wrong key and Aro's sharp black eyes met mine. I gave what I hoped was a look of contrite before focusing back on the music. It took everything in me to focus as my stomach rolled. I felt so sick knowing what was happening somewhere in this house. Pictures assaulted my mind and I couldn't shake them away. It was all in my head, but I knew.
She's touching his chest now. He takes off her dress now. Let me go.
I finished my set, and stormed backstage to find something to drink. I took a slug from a champagne bottle someone left lying around. Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt so much hate and vitriol before striking out with my fist.
"FUCK!" I bellowed the word as I watched the glass shatter beneath my hand. I had broken open the skin on my knuckles and blood began to ooze out. I turned, completely frustrated, my thoughts tearing at my insides. How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss.
It was only a kiss.
