Chapter 9: Twilight Ball (part one)
I looked myself in the mirror. I had on a black suit with a bone pattern on it. I sighed and walked to the cage. Shock was already there. She had on a long purple, ruffled dress. Her hair was curled and black. (Her hair grew in when she was about eleven) She has silk violet shoulder-length, and a dark purple flower in her hair.
"Did you see Lock coming?" Shock asked me. "Uh, nope."
Lock then came crashing though the room. "I'm coming." He jumped in and shut the door. He had on a red suit and his hair was slicked back. The cage slowly started to go down. "So, Barrel, who are you going with?" Lock asked. "I'm going with Shadow."
His mouth dropped, and he crossed his arms. "Lucky." He mumbled. Shock slapped him. "Hey!" She cried.
When we got to the town hall everyone was flooding in. Jack in his black striped suit. Sally in a strap-less white dress. Vendetta with Blake. Blake with a black suit, Vendetta in a long orange, strap-less, dress with black lace around the bottom and long orange gloves.
Everyone was dressed up and heading inside. Lock and Shock went in ahead of me. When I stepped inside the town-hall didn't look a thing like the town-hall. It was filled with orange and black banners, purple, black, and white balloons.
Music playing. I looked for Shadow until she tapped me. "Hi, Barrel." I turned around.
Shadow was wearing a long purple and black striped dress, with a black rose in her hair. Her bandaged bony hand was covered with purple bandages. I smiled. She carefully took my hand and we sat on a bench.
Nana and Patrick flew by. Patrick in a suit and Nana with a dark red dress laced with black. For once she wasn't wearing her hat. Soft music began to play and everyone moved off the dance floor as Blake moved on with Vendetta.
He began to sing and everyone listened and watched as they danced.
"When I see your smile, tears roll down my face. I can't replace. And now that I'm strong I have figured out how this world turns cold and a place in my soul. And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one."
Vendetta tripped, everyone gasped, but Blake caught her. "I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever. I'll be there for you though it all. Even if saving you sends me to heaven."
Blake spun her around a few times and brought her up close. "It's ok. It's ok. It's ok-k-k. Seasons are changing and waves are crashing and stars are falling all for us. Days grow longer and nights grow shorter. I can show you I'll be the one. I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever. Even if saving you sends me to heaven."
"Cause your my, your my-y-y-y, my true love. My whole heart, please don't throw that away. Cause your my-y-y true love, For you. Please don't walk away and please tell me you'll stay."
He began to swing and toss Vendetta around. Dipping her, spinning her, twirling her.
"O-h-h-h-h. Stay, o-h-h-h-h. Pull my strings, for a while. And I know you'll be ok. Though my sky's are turning grey. I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever. Even if saving you sends me to heaven. I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever. I'll be there for you though it all. Even if saving you sends me to heaven."
He stopped dancing with her and stopped. "Cause your my, my true love..." Blake faded down and everyone clapped. I clapped too. Nana hit a button and the music started again. "D-do you want to dance?" I asked her quietly.
Shadow nodded. "Sure."
