"Alice...I can't BREATH. Remember while you flaunt your ability to hold your "breath" for hours at a time, that I am HUMAN. Corsets and humans do not mix. Hence why we stopped wearing them unless you are some BDSM person." Bella gasps out this soliloquy as Alice continuously pulls on the black ribbons holding the crimson torture device even tighter.
"Oh shush, Bella Swan!" Alice growls, her eyes dancing mischievously. "What's the fun of a Masquerade Ball if you can't make the girls look their best?"
"The girls—ALICE!" Bella flushes the same color as the whalebone corset around her torso.
Bella sighs and leans her head against the shelf she was holding onto for dear life while being strapped into the monstrosity. Her mahogany hair was curled into ringlets that were set off by the red of the deathtrap-ahem-corset. Her pale cheeks were darkly colored as her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath. Suddenly she turned and stared into the sunset eyes of her closest friend.
"Are you saying you are trying to make me look like a harlequin hooker?" Her eyes widening.
Alice smirks in her ice blue corset, her black hair set into little curls.
"Enjoy the fact that you don't look like a prepubescent boy in a corset, like some of us." She sighs. "And my dear brother will LOVE it." She flashes her teeth in a perfect grin.
Bella blushes deeper while looking into the mirror, she did look....good. She looked like a woman.
"Hear me roar." She mutters to herself. "Alright, Alice. Do your worst."
Alice grimaces and reaches up with her cold hands to clasp a golf ball sized ruby on a gold chain around Bella's neck, where it settled into her newly formed cleavage, winking in the candle light. She brushes a wayward curl back from Bella's face.
Smiling, Alice stands behind Bella and whispers into the human girls ear, "Tanya, who?"
Bella gives the girl in the mirror a timid smile and tries to find Bella Swan under the hair, makeup, and-ugh-boobs. Her skin is pale white, minus the constant red of her lips and cheeks. She is standing still enough to look like a statue forgive the fact of her heaving chest. Her eyes sparkle. She is....breathtaking. Bella suddenly breaks into a sly,devastating, and slightly dangerous smile. She realized what she looked like. One word.
Vampire.
