Chapter 9: The ball

I woke the next morning to the sun glaring into the room. I got up and had a shower. I got dressed in a purple knee length dress. I got myself some toast and jam for breakfast. After breakfast I decided to go for a walk so I put the bracelet on and left the room. I turned left and walked down the hallway. No one walked the hallways. It was dead silent. I thought it was way too early to be up but then I went by a clock that said it was ten o'clock. I decided I need some fresh air. I walked out the front doors out into the front yard. I followed paths that lead me to a fountain surrounded by rose and two benches. I sat down on one of the benches. The sun was shining warmly down on me. Maybe my life could be good here. I could do whatever I liked as long as I had the bracelet on.

"Leah" said Jake

"Yeah" I replied as I turned my head towards the voice "What's up?"

"Well tonight the packs having a party to celebrate thirty years of my father success" replied Jake "It will be so much fun. Would you like to come?"

"I would love too" I replied

"We could invite your pack if you would like too?" asked Damon

"I would love that so much but is that okay if you don't" I replied

"Sure" he said to me. He kissed me on the forehead and started to walk away from the garden when he turned back towards me. "Will you do something for me?" he asked

"Anything you want Jake" I replied. I was starting to fall in love with Jake. He cared so much and he would never let anything happen to me.

"Will you do whatever I tell you tonight at the party?" he asked

"Yes I will" I replied. I smiled at him then he turned and left. I looked back up at the sky and watched the clouds. I could see a dragon with it tongue sticking out and a smiley face. I decided it was time to go in because it was one thirty in the afternoon. I went into the house by the kitchen entrance. The cooks had just got fresh baked bread roles out of the oven. I grabbed one and ran up the stairs. I walked back to my room and took my bracelet off when I was in the room. I decided to start with my hair. I curled my hair but by the time I was done it looked horrible so I put it up into a messy bun. By the time I had finished with my hair it was two thirty. I put make-up and jewellery on. It was five o'clock by the time I had my dress on which was brown/bronze colour that went to my knees. I was putting my black high heels on when I heard someone knock on the door.

"Come in" I yelled. I grabbed my bracelet and quickly put it on as I was walked to the door.

I opened the door to find Jake standing there in a black tux.

"You look very nice Leah" said Jake

"So do you" I replied. At that moment I felt like something was wrong but I ignored it.

"You ready to go" he asked

"Yes" I replied

"Let's go then" he said. He put his arm around my back and led me down to the ballroom. I could hear cars coming down the drive way.

"Is that my pack?" I asked

"I think so" he replied "I think they were the only people we invited. You know that they had to come all the way from Washington all the way to Arizona?"

"No I didn't know that we were in Arizona" I replied "Wow they came all this way just for a party. Oh yeah I was kidnapped then must be worried."

"No there not" he replied

"Oh" I said "Well that's not going to rune my time." I smiled at him and he kissed me on the check. We walked into the ball room. Everyone bowed when the saw it was me and Jake. "What's that about?" I asked as they went back to talking or dancing.

"Well you're a pack leader and I'm a future leader" Jake replied "And in our pack laws you must bow to any pack leader and future pack leaders."

"Cool" I said

"Would you like to dance?" asked Jake

"I would love too" I replied. Jake swept me over to the dance floor were we started to waltz. I had my head on his chest when I heard people whispering. I lifted my head up to see my pack was walking into the room.

"Just keep on dancing" said Jake "Will go and talk to them when the music has ended." I put my head back on Jake's chest and continued to dance with him. The music stop but didn't start up again.

"Jake and Leah please come here" said a strong male voice

"Come on" said Jake "Father wants to talk with us." I took Jake's hand and walked with him up about twenty stairs up to were Jake's father sat. Jake and I sat down in two chairs either side of Jake's father.

"Leah" said Mr Farley "It is lovely to meet you."

"As it to meet you" I replied

"This must be your pack?" he asked

"Yes it is" I replied. I motioned for them to come forward. My father and mother along with Sam, Mr and Mrs Uley stood in the front leading the group into the room.

"How lovely to see you again Mr and Mrs. Clearwater and Uley" said Mr Farley

"As it is to meet you Mr Farley" replied my father "I see you have my daughter, Leah."

"Yes I have and I think she has been having a lovely time here" he replied "Isn't that right Leah?"

"Yes it has been wonderful" I replied

"Well I see no point in fighting tonight" said Mr Farley "Let us dance the night away." The music started again and everything started up again. People from my pack started to dance around and talk to other people. I didn't look to see it I could see Jack.
