Adrian POV

Screaming fill is my ears, when I open my eyes I see myself. Well more like a younger self looking through a crack in the door, and I remember this scene. It was the first time I found out my parents were fighting, when I look up I at the scene I realize that it has changed. I'm sitting alone at a table with a small cup cake with one single candle. This was my first birthday after mom disappeared, and dad left the palace to look at the kingdom. I heard loud crying from the small form in the chair "mom I miss you please come home. Why did you leave?" The sound of the little me brought with it the heart ache I have been hiding for so long. Off in the back of my mind I hear a voice calling out to me, and I'm pull away from my dream.

When I sit up and open my eyes I see the palace staff standing before be, or at least the people that could get off to come wake me up this morning.

"Happy 18th birthday Prince Adrian!" if I wasn't awake before I sure am now, all of their voices gathered together is quite fearsome. Yet I couldn't help myself. I smiled. I couldn't remember the last time I was woken up like this, and it made my bad dream slip away with the light of the sun. One of the maids came up to me with a cup cake with a candle on top

"Make a wish your majesty," I had been wishing to see my mother for every birthday, but I'm 18 now I need to think about myself. "I wish I could meet a wonderful girl tonight at the ball," and blew out my candle. I heard people laughing at my wish as they clapped and cheered. When I opened my eyes some of the older staff had shocked expressions because, they knew all I wanted was to see my mother again. All I could do was smile at them.

"Ah it's time for the prince to start his day, so everyone let's leave his majesty to get ready for the big day ahead of him. Breakfast is ready for you in the dining room, so come down when you're ready. Oh and I do recommend that you eat that before anyone else sees it." He bowed then left the room with the rest of the palace staff that came. I soon after got out of bed to shower, when I finished I headed down to the dining room to see my father sitting at the table waiting for me. I can't move, my father looks up at me then back down to his breakfast. "Adrian would please come in and sit down you look like an idiot standing there." My body was on autopilot. We ate in silence. After all these years now he speaks to me, and that what he says. When I look up again he is gone, without a word.

"Adrian! Happy birthday dude!" Nino comes in and wraps his arm around my neck. But when I don't react like normal he looks down at me "Hey is something wrong?" I look up at him

"I just had breakfast with my dad" I don't have to say any more than that he lets go of me, and sits down next to me. "What did he say?" I look at his face, to see worry written all over it. "He called me an idiot, I stood there in shock and he called me an idiot." I slumped down in my chair, "that's all he said, then left without a word to me." Nino shot up startling me, "you need to fence! I know you love doing it, so come on I'll be your partner!" all I did was shake my head, Nino sucks at fencing. I always win, but he is a great friend trying to cheer me up.

We spent the rest of the morning fencing, I really lucky to have a friend like Nino. After fencing we had lunch, every one sang me happy birthday. We opened presents, and had cake. Time to get ready for the ball, I slump down the hallway to my room to get ready. I am wearing a themed outfit to the ball, I'm going as a black cat. My suite is all black with a white tie around my neck, and my blond hair is let lose to go any which way I wants to. Everyone says I look better with my hair let lose, but I jell it down every day. My mask is made out of leather, and will stick to my face. I don't need any strings for it, and small pair of cat ears on top of my head. These are also made of leather, around my hips is a belt made with a leather tail coming out of the back. After leaving my room I head down to the ball room because our guests will be arriving shortly. I stand at the top of the stairs that lead down to the dance floor, and lining the wall are tables that re being fill with food by the chefs. The orchestra was setting up in the far corner of the room, and on both sides of me there are stair cases leading to a balcony overlooking the dance floor meant for socializing.

It's time the guest start to arrive, and I must greet every single one. But I put on a smile and greet them, but then I hear all the noise from outside. They haven't been this loud all night, I wonder what has the all riled up all of a sudden.

"Prince Adrian, this is my daughter Chloe I do hope you two will get along tonight. She is very interested in you." It took all my will power to not puck right then and there. "I don't know about that your Majesty, things might change" I smiled. All of a sudden all the sound in the room stopped, even the music. I hear a few gasps; I look around the room to see every one looking at the door way. As my eyes lay upon the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, "….. Beautiful"

That's the end of this chapter! I know you all must hate me now because I haven't reveled the dresses yet. BUT I will next chapter I promise, and please review! I helps me out a lot when I see them.
