Chapter 4: Ball room dancing
I was reading a book walking through the hallway to my room. I opened my door barely paying attention from reading. I looked up and dropped my book at what I saw
"BEYOND BIRTHDAY WHAT IS THIS!?" I went and grabbed the black dress off of my bed. I stormed of into the hall. I walked straight up to Beyond holding it up "I thought this is what I left behind in Texas. What are you trying to do!?"
"Well actually I was going to ask you to come to a formal event with me" he said in his normal annoying tone
"may ask what is this event?"
"A serial killer convention… or rather dinner, ball thing at the Hilton Hotel"
"Seriously? Are you kidding B? wouldn't everyone be arrested once the Hilton finds out it's for SERIAL KILLERS!?"
"They are using the cover up that it's for Dentists"
"woooow soooo creative" I smirked
"So are you going or not?"
I sighed "I guess so… I am your assistant so that means I have to do everything for you"
"be ready by 6" was all he said before walking off. I just shook my head and went back to my room and read.
I had gotten so lost in my book when I happened to look up at my alarm clock "OH shit it's 5:45!"
I ran into the bathroom and started stripping my clothes and brushing my hair. I just put a little blue butterfly clip I got in France in my hair. I threw on the dress(almost literally) it actually looked… great on me. I was amazed I hadn't seen myself in clothes like these in almost 4 years it was like a blast from the past. I wiped a tear that started falling down my face, took a deep breath and walked downstairs to find B
Conveniently I couldn't find him so I just sat in a chair and waited. A little bit later BB walked it and let me just say… he AMAZED ME MORE THEN MYSELF! Like holly guacamole he looked completely different! I was in shock, in a loss for words so beyond just said them for me
"Lets go Eloise" I had completely lost my mind, I was living, working, and friends with a serial killer but I loved being here. It had it's pros and cons but mostly pros(the biggest con was B could kill me at any second)
We finally got to the hotel about 6:30. I was a night owl so I had plenty of energy(un like someone sitting next to me *mentally points to BB*)
We got inside and it was full of people. People were starring at me. I clutched on to beyond's arm out of nervousness
"Relax they are just looking at my new assistant" I smiled at him. In a creepy way he made me feel better. We walked up to a woman with black hair with purple highlights and green eyes(the complete opposite of my chocolate brown hair and same colored eyes) and with her was a very slim Blonde haired man
"Eloise this is Mello the boss of the mafia and his date for tonight Chelsea" that Chelsea girl was giving me a serious death glare as Beyond introduced me
"Hi Mello like Beyond said I'm Eloise and his assistant, and it's also nice to me you Chelsea" I smiled at both of them while almost exploding with giggles that he had the same name as my dog
"Nice to meet you… Eloise" she said with a smug attitude. B continued talking to other killers and their dates while I was in my own little world until someone started talking to me or rather Beyond "Umm Beyond may I steal your assistant away for a little bit?" that Chelsea girl said… I didn't have a good feeling about this but I knew Beyond would never let me get hurt(Because who would get his jam? Duh)
"Go ahead Chelsea I will continue talking to Mello" Chelsea giggled… she was flirting with B, MY B! this girl better watch it. She took me to a back corner of the ball room they were renting and we sat down at a table
"so how did he find you?" her attitude now was like a 13 year old trying to get the scoop on her friend's first date
"How did who find me?"
"Beyond silly" she giggled "I don't think you send in applications to be a serial killer's assistant"
I didn't have a good feeling about this "Well when I was… 15 years old my family had another family over for dinner" just thinking about it I started to tear up "The Jeevas family were nice and all my I was having an arranged ma- you know what never mind about that part but their son Matt was my best friend. Me and Matt were talking when my mother screamed and me and Matt ran in and B was there and my parents were dead and matt's father was dead his mother seconds away" I took a deep breath "Beyond then went after me and Matt and we ran. Beyond ended up catching us and I made a deal with him if he let Matt live I would do whatever he anted. After some thinking Beyond came up with me being his assistant" I left out a lot but I just gave her what she wanted to know
"Oooh so if you live with him does that mean you're a masochist?"
"Do what? No! I'm not"
"so does that mean you don't get a rush of the thought he could kill you at any second? Because once the puppy becomes a dog(is she saying I'm a Bitch?) he's going to get rid of the puppy"
"hmm I have never thought about it in that way"
"well here Mello comes. He must want me to dance" she started getting up walking toward Mello "Well Ellie" did she just call me that? "Just keep that in mind. Try not to grow up to fast" she was hinting at the dog comment.
I got up and walked over to get something to drink. I got a cup and looked at all the options Champaign, Fruit punch I will get some of that. I poured some into my cup and looked at the last option wine, at that immediate thought I had a flash back of that night. I almost dropped the cup I was holding. I looked around and was thankful no-one saw. I looked for B he was still talking to people
I was sitting down at the table again just watching people when the piano player ran out of the room. I few minutes later a man walked up to the microphone "well it seems our pianist has had food poisoning… hopefully not on purpose. But does anyone know how to play piano?" I didn't raise my hand even though I new how. I was messing with the lose string on my knee length dress "come on anyone? Just one song" I was surprised when I looked around and saw beyond with his hand up. I swiftly rushed over to him and whispered
"beyond you can play the piano?"
"No you can, umm whatever your name is up there my assistant Nattalia will play" I was shocked by his answer. He was pushing me towards the piano
"Beyond I don't want to do this!" he smirked
"fine I will take you up there the hard way" once he finished saying Way I was off the ground and thrown onto his shoulder
"Beyond put me down!" he wouldn't budge. The next thing I knew I was being sat down again but being put on to a piano bench
"I heard you play Eloise and you're really good" I was in shock
"You heard me sing and play when I went down to the basement?"
"yes so just do your best" beyond walked of and I took a deep breath. I played a song that I thought was beautiful instrumental when it first came out, Circles by Hollywood undead(instrumental version) I remembered how it started and put my hand on the keys. I didn't sing I just played. I looked up while I was playing to see Mello and Chelsea dancing
Chelsea's POV
"Mello can you believe this freak? Trying to steal the spotlight"
"if I just saw what I think I saw she was forced to play by her Boss"
"Whatever she has had a twisted past. I bet she helps Beyond kill people"
"wouldn't that be her job as an assistant?"
"I guess so but Beyond killed her family and another family I believe she said the Jeevas family" when Chelsea said Jeevas Mello instantly tensed up knowing that was Matt's last name "The only people who survived were Eloise and some boy named Mail who she said she just called Matt(I know I didn't put that she told him his real name in their original conversation but I was trying to cut it short so you didn't die for boredom) anyway they made a deal and that's how she became his assistant. If you think about it it's kinda sweet she gave up her freedom and her life to let some redhead survive. I don't know if I could do the same thing for my bestfriend" Mello definitely knew she was talking about His Matt. The song soon ended and everyone slowly started leaving
Eloise's POV
I finished playing and went to find B
"You did great Nattalia"
"what's up with you calling me by my real name lately?"
"I feel… special like I'm the only one who can call you that"
"Well in a way you are the only one who calls me that. My parents never really called me that so now you're the only one that knows my name. well since before you announced my name!"
"yea sorry about that" I laughed and we both left heading for home
