Ch.5- The Masquerade Begins

EPOV

"Hurry up you two!"… "I swear you take just as long as the girls!"…God they take as long as Rose and Alice…

"Yea yea" Emmett replied…"A guy's gotta look his best" he smirked

After about 5 more minutes we were all dressed and ready to go. We all wore black tux's with collared shirts. Emmett was wearing a burgundy colored shirt, Jasper's was ivory and mine was a dark blue.

"Hey…hold on there tiger" Jasper stopped me as I was halfway out the door..."Bella will still be there…you don't need to be in such a rush" they both smirked

"You're forgetting one thing…" Jasper continued...

……….

"Um…."

"A mask...duh!!" Emmett said as it were the most obvious answer….of course…the masks…

Jasper handed Emmett, and I our masks after putting his on. For himself, he had chosen a black and white checkered mask. Emmett was given a dark black and red mask in the center there were two sharp horns, it looked like the mask of the devil. It's fitting for him. Next Jasper handed me mine. The mask was a simple, and black. Oddly it was in the shape of a bat. (Ironic lol) (Pictures of the guys masks in profile!)

Once we had all fastened our masks we went downstairs to wait for the girls. this might be a while

(5 minutes later)

We had been waiting for no more than 5 minutes when we heard soft footsteps coming down the stairs. At the same time Jasper, Emmett and I looked up, and gasped. My breath hitched, and my heart started to beat wildly within me. Before me was Bella, my beautiful Bella. She looked like an angel in a dark navy blue gown, her skin glowed flawlessly, a deep contrast to her gown...Alice must have color coordinated our costumes…sneaky….she slowly made her way down the stairs…side by side with Rose and Alice... they were beautiful as well, but nothing in any comparison with Bella.

The three of us stared dumbly at them in shock, with our mouths hanging gaped open as they made there way down the stairs. How could someone have such an effect on me?

EMPOV

Ro……………….

…………Rose…………….

Ro-Rose?!...SHE LOOKS GORGEOUS…..WONDERFUL…BEAUTIFUL…PERFECT…STUNNING….

JPOV

ALICE?? WOW…She looks Stunning! Beautiful…Just…AMAZING…….WOW…simply BEAUTIFUL

EPOV

After what felt like a lifetime she had finally reached the bottom of the stair case.

I stared at Bella in awe...Her hair was curled and framed her face beautifully...I looked down, and noticed she was wearing some sort of stange neckalce...it looked like a coat of arms? maybe its a family crest? I'll find out later..."Bella…you look"…AMAZING, ANGELIC, PERFECT... "beautiful." I finished, gently reaching for her hand and placing a small kiss on the top. As I did so I noticed her checks instantly turn to a shade of deep crimson…god how I love that blush

"Thank you" she replied in her angelic voice... "you look pretty good yourself" she blushed even deeper. Her comment made my heart soar...

Soon, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, and Alice came over and joined us.

"So are you two ready to go yet?" Jasper asked as he lovingly placed his arm on Alice's waist.

"Pft…They're to busy staring at each other!" Emmett retorted while batting his eyelashes mockingly, immediately earning a loud smack from Rose.

Everyone else started to laugh; as he cowered down to Rose apologizing….Ahhh…Emmett has found the right one.

"Let's go then shall we?" I asked the group lifting my arm to escort Bella to the car, Jasper and Emmett doing the same.

The car finally came to a stop in front of a extravagant looking palace…not nearly as big as ours but still, quite impressive. We escorted the girls inside to the main ballroom. I heard Bella gasp.

"It's beautiful" she whispered…her eyes wandering across the large room.

"Come on!" Emmett yelled in front of us

We found an empty table and sat down…

"Man I'm hungry!" Emmett whined…of course...when isn't he?

"Guys, let's go get some food!" he said while eyeing the vast amount of food to the right of the room. He was staring greedily at the various selections of pastries and deserts.

Jasper and I looked at each other and sighed….We should probably go with Emmett to get food, Jasper and I know what happens when Emmett doesn't have food in his system…let's just say it's not pretty….

"Would you like anything??" I asked Bella, Rose, and Alice...while excusing myself from the table

"No thank you, go ahead" they replied

"Let's go" I motioned to Emmett, and Jasper

BPOV

Edward, Jasper, and Emmett had just left to get some food…here it comes...Alice and Rose were going to ambush me with questions…I know them to well..

"So…Bella?" Rose asked slyly And it begins.

"Looks like you and Edward are having fun so far" Alice pointed out while adjusting her mask…

"Yes…" I said cautiously where were they going with this?

"You know...I couldn't help but notice the look he gave you when he saw you" Rose added

"Yea…or the look you gave him" Alice and Rose both smiled mischievously

"and…" I continued

"Oh…nothing..." Alice avoided answering… "Did I mention he's single?"

"Ok, Alice what is it?" I demanded

"Nothing…" Might as well drop the subject…I'm not going to get anymore out of her…

"Do you know where the bathrooms are?" I asked them

"Yes…we'll go with you" they began to get up

"No, don't worry about me…I'm capable of finding it on my own."

They both gave me a doubtful look….I stared at them back.

"Alright…if you insist…it's down the main corridor and it's the first door on the right hand side" Alice stated...

"Thank you…"…" I'll be back in a few moments" I said while standing up

After wandering around for a few moments I had finally found the bathroom, and was now on my way back…When I entered the main ballroom, I had instantly spotted Alice and Rose, they waved at me and smiled...I began to make my way over to the table when someone suddenly grabbed my wrist, turning me around…

"Pardon me, but do I know you?" I asked as politely as I could, this man was clearly overstepping basic boundaries….

"Yes….you are Isabella Swan…are you not?" he grinned evilly

Where have i seen that face??
