It started with a party, but not just any party the masquerade ball we all attend every year. Yet here I was sitting on the stupid stairs and waiting for David, while shay was over dancing with some masked figure. He had on a regular tuxedo with a white mask that perfectly commented his jet black hair -which fell almost over his eyes-. When he spun her around shay gave me a encouraging smile, but I just shrugged.

After about thirty minutes I started to get up and go look for David when a hand grabbed my shoulder.

"Where do you think you are going my dear?" Asked a handsome voice and turned around thinking it would be David, but I was sorely mistaken. The guy that had my shoulder was wearing an all white tuxedo and had a black mask that only covered the right side of his handsome face. His black hair looked as if it had been dyed by black writing ink, and wonderful golden flecked eyes shone brightly in the party lights.

"Ummm ……to look for someone." I answered trying to think clearly now.

"Well that's too bad I needed some beautiful lady to dance with." He said with a playful grin which pushed me over the top.

"Well I guess I could have a little fun." I said taking his hand as he led me to the dance floor and we started moving to the beat of the ending song. Little did I know that a certain someone was lurking in the shadows.
