AN Thanks for the reviews guys! I'm looking forward to this story! Also want to thank Enchanted Dream Peach for showing me the error on Sarah's character description Thanks again and Kuddos to you! I have fixed that and I'm working on trying to get descriptions written down better. If you have any suggestions it would be appreciated! Happy reading!
Opening the door to my dorm I drop my bag onto my bed sighing of relief to be in my home and relief that I wasn't having my grades drop in Mr King's class. I look around my room glad to be alone since my roommate dropped out a week into the it does get lonely from time to time. My dad and stepmom are too busy with my younger brother to know if I'm doing alright in school or if I'm visiting soon.
Shrugging off any loneliness I was feeling I looked around the room and noticed something new was upon my desk. A note with a red rose was laying on my desk.
Picking up the note and the rose I bring it up to take a sniff then gasp almost dropping the rose. The rose had thorns and one of the thorns cut into my left ring finger. I place the rose back down on the desk and grab a Kleenex to wrap my finger in.
I then open the note noticing the nice calligraphy of writing as I read," Then look for me by the moonlight on Hallows Eve, Watch for me by the moonlight, I'll come to thee by the moonlight, though hell should bar the way."
Behind the note there was a ticket. The ticket was to the Halloween Masqurade Dance!
I couldn't help but give a squeal of delight but then a thought accord; Who had sent the note? Is it an admirer? The note wasn't signed and I knew these lines very well from The Highwayman Lorena Mckinly. (One of my personal favorites mind you.)
I shrugged it off as I had another good question pop up. "What am I gonna wear?!" In the corner of my eye I spot something shimmering in the sunset's light. Walking over to the dress it was the dress for the play production of Cinderella. It was the dress that Cinderella wears to the night of the ball. "With a few alterations...this dress could work for me for the Masque," I mutter under my breath as I take the dress off the hanger and hold it up against me. It almost could fit me but I know that I needed to fix it up a little to make the dress perfect for not only I but the secret admirer as well.
The next few days went uneventful as I kept up with my school work and stay up in the late hours working on the dress wanting it to be perfect for my secret admirer. I did still continue to get notes only receiving them at my desk in my room.
Each one a short poem that made my heart beat faster with antipation. The first poem read," See her in the moonlight. Dancing, laughing, sighing, with pure bliss. See her in the moonlight. Hair shimmering under the light like a raven wing. See her in the moonlight. Hearts are racing this night. See her in the moonlight. For in the dawn is upon us. See her in the moonlight until she is gone yet again."
I took the poems as clues as I deeply thought that poem was of the way he was admiring my hair and my face which made me smile thinking he goes to the school for he sees me everyday somehow. The next note was of little confusion but in the end made me smile for it read," Where thine heart is is within thee. Within thee is very 'precious' as thine eyes gaze at thee in wonder. Where thine heart is is within thee." It was very short but slightly full of meaning but what puzzled me the most was the 'precious.' Am I the 'precious' within his eyes?
The third note I received the afternoon of the masque and this one came with a red rose once more. What the note said even made me more excited," Come to thee by the moon light, Let the these words spoken true this night,' Wait not longer taketh thee away from this world onto the next with you forever more.' Then hell should bar the way."
Though weird in it's own way it gave her comfort somehow like he could take her away this night. She felt aflutter of butterflies within her unsure if it's just nerves or just stoked for the night. Grabbing her towel she headed toward the showers to get ready for the big night.
Later that night in the school's gym the place was decorated with gold silver and maroon colors tapastries and stringers from the ceiling rafters and the area had fake trees used from the drama department giving it a forest feel to the area.
Standing to the side of the gym I stood standing in my dark blue shimmering top with white tights that hugged my body perfectly and knee high black boots. My blonde hair was out and layered and puffed out on the top going flat as it grew longer down to my shoulders. I held a half black mask that had horns going up like a goats going up.
The night was well and I chose to stand on the side of the gym like the rest of the professors of the school. No one recognized that I was a fellow comrade and left me be as I kept scanning the area for the one person I was anxious to see. Songs kept playing for a few moments until my eyes went to the door and I was uplifted to what a sight was behold me.
There she was in beauty of a future Queen before my very eyes. She stood tall her hair in curls and fixed with twinkling costume jewelry of diamonds holding her hair back and goes down a length of her back and she was wearing a silver gown that fell beneath her shoulders and cascaded down hugging her body beautifully though the dress hides her lower half I could imagine that she was in heels beneath that dress. "What a queen she will make and a wife for sure," I gasp in awe. I noticed she chose not to wear a mask and slowly walked to the dance floor.
I decide to follow suite and kept my mask up to hide my face making myself invisible to her eyes. I walk around her to her back side made myself visible as she looked around slowly to find her secret note maker. The song changes by my will to a song I once sang to her when she entered the labrynth so many years ago.
There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes.
A kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes.
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes.
She turns around to find me and I hold my hand out to her indicating to her that I would like to dance with her. She nods and takes my hand and give her a twirl before continuing the song.
There's such a fooled heart
Beatin' so fast
In search of new dreams.
A love that will last
Within your heart.
I'll place the moon
Within your heart.
We danced in each others arms staring at each other lost in our own world letting the other students dance away in there own way forgetting them as I look into her sparkling brown eyes full of lust and wonder.
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you.
Every thrill is gone.
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down.
Falling.
Falling down.
Falling in love.
I'll paint you mornings of gold.
I'll spin you Valentine evenings.
Though we're strangers 'til now,
We're choosing the path
Between the stars.
I'll leave my love
Between the stars.
She chooses this moment to lean close to me and places her head against my chest making my heart skip a beat. I take her and continue to sing not missing a beat.
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you.
Every thrill is gone.
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down.
Falling
As the world falls down.
Falling
As the world falls down.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling in love
As the world falls down.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling.
Falling in love
As the world falls down.
Makes no sense at all.
Makes no sense to fall.
Falling
As the world falls down.
Falling.
Falling in love
As the world falls down.
Falling.
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down.
"Wait not longer taketh thee away from this world onto the next with you forever more," She says as she looks up at me and I look at her with a smile on my face. "As you wish my precious Sarah," I say as I remove my mask to reveal myself to Sarah. She looked shocked before trying to get out of my grip I teleport her to the castle.
