Chapter 2: A Shakespearean Meeting
Alucinda
Music was seeping out of the building when we got the school. I slipped my mask on before the lime door opened so nobody would know it was me. Jason exited the vehicle before me and held his out his hand to assist me. I grudgingly accepted it.
Walking to the door, the symbol of a Trojan, our school mascot was a pasted to the door, screaming school pride or spirit or whatever. I just thought to myself only one more year of this hell hole and then I was off to Harvard, on the other side of the court. I was already accepted and was just working on keeping my grades up. I had no time for dance and was only going to this one to please my mother and keep her off of my back.
We entered the gymnasium and immediately I was dragged to the dance floor where Jason attempted to impress me with his "moves."
Again, I thought this was going to be a very long and very unforgettable night.

Oh my Obren! This stupid stick was at a high school, and the only time I could get it was during their prom, which was tonight. This was going to suck. I did not have the time or energy to go to a prom! Clothes wasn't a problem as I glamoured a tux and a crow's mask to match their theme, but dealing with these teenagers was a problem.
I trudged my way to the school and pushed through the doors, struggling to get through the throngs of students. That is when I saw her across the dance floor in the arms of some gangly looking boy.
He spun her around and I got a good look at her face. Her beauty was stunning, and suddenly, I didn't give a shit about the stupid fucking stuck. I just cared about her and I wanted to kill the stupid gangly nerd that had his arms wrapped around that thin waist where her hips were exaggerated by that tight, white dress.
Quicksilver colored eyes peeked out from behind a snow white mask.
I was a goner. I knew that as soon as I had seen her, that I wanted to get her alone and find out more and if that goddess uttered even one word, I would be putty in her hands, responding to her every beck and call.

Jason spun me around again and I was starting to get dizzy. he finally stopped and it was then, as I peered over his shoulder, I saw him.
There was a mop of red hair on his head with laughing green eyes showing from behind a mask. His plump pink lips had a smile that was threatening to appear at any second. I gave him the 'one over' and discovered that he was wearing a black tux with a black bow tie, but absolutely no shoes. The boy was barefoot.
Jason, of course, ruined the moment by spinning me around again and the boy was gone from my line of vision.
Even though I saw him only for a few seconds, I knew that I wanted him for my own, I wanted him to be my everything and anything. I didn't care about anything but him. I wanted him and I wanted him now.

I was going to find that mysterious creature, learn its' name, and make it my own
