The Ball
Alanna dashed up to her room as quick as she could knowing if she was late the priestesses would think of a horrible punishment (e.g. not being allowed to rid her horse). Alanna rushed into her rooms to see a hot bath and her dress set out by her maid. Quickly Alanna stripped off her cloths and jumped in to her bath. After her bath Alanna slipped on a long red velvet gown with gold trim and (unfortunately) a low neckline ringed with diamonds. She got her maid to do her makeup and hair and she rushed out of her room.
When Alanna got to the waiting hall people were already getting announced. Priestess Mary gave her a glare then put on a fake smile and walked through the curtains. She wouldn't admit it but Alanna was the most beautiful girl there. Even more beautiful than Cynthera or Delia. Unfortunately for Alanna she was paired with Delia to walk down the stairs.
Alanna walked up to Delia. "Well, well, if it isn't the little horse," said Delia.
"Delia," Alanna said in an overly patient voice, "I would much rather be a horse than a cow." Delia scowled and started to turn purple. And right then Alanna and Delia were announced.
"Lady Alanna of Trebond and Lady Delia of Eldorne," (aaahh what's Delia's fief??) announced the herald. Alanna walked through smiling and batting her eyelashes just to show everyone from the convent that she could be a lady. Delia on the other hand was purple in the face and was scowling and didn't look very nice. But as soon as she saw the prince walking to the bottom of the stairs she started to smile. When they got to the bottom the prince held out his arm. Delia was about to take it when he said: "Lady Alanna may I have this dance." "Of course," replied Alanna, Almost laughing at the look on Delia's face. Delia had gotten an knight named Sir Ralon and he wasn't the best looking.
