Chapter 8-- The Mystery Ball
"So what did it say Rafe?" Alison asked looking at Rafe who had a concerned look on his face. "Angel, I don't have a very good feeling about this Mystery Ball." Rafe replied taking Alison's hand and squeezing it a little bit. "Why, what did the thing say?" Jamal asked looking at Rafe. "Well I can't translate every single work but everyone that we know is listed in this thing and I could make out a few other words…" Rafe trailed off as the limo stopped in front of this magnificent mansion that took on a personality of it's own. The door immediately opened and they looked out the door "Oh my god." Alison said looking at everything around the house. The roses, the plants, the bushes and the house itself which looked like it has been around for hundreds of years. Everyone got out of the limo and they saw the other limos pull up and the rest of the residents of Port Charles got out. They all exchanged glances to one another and were extremely quiet taking in everything that they are looking at. Suddenly a man appeared at the bottom of the stairs and gestured for everyone to follow him.
"Excuse me sir, but who exactly is throwing this party?" Lucy asked with a little laughter in her voice mixed with nervousness. "Oh madam I mustn't tell you just now. This is the Mystery Ball and everything must be a mystery, right." the man replied with a very thick French accent. They got to the top of the stairs and the man turned to look at everyone "We welcome you to this extremely special home and special ball. We ask that you not leave until the end of the evening and we warn you that many surprises will be revealed today." the man than opened the doors and music filled the ears of the Port Charles residents as they entered the grand ballroom of the amazing mansion.
Lyrics: Haunted by Evanescence
long lost words whisper slowly to me
still can't find what keeps me here
when all this time i've been so hollow inside
i know you're still there
watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
fearing you loving you
i won't let you pull me down
hunting you i can smell you - alive
your heart pounding in my head
watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
watching me
"Interesting choice of music." Rafe remarked whispering into Alison's hear.
"Ah, yes Mr. Kovich it is an extremely interesting piece of music." A woman's voice came from behind and Rafe quickly turned around realizing who it was. "Jessica…" Jack said turning around with Rafe. "Oh Mr. Ramsey I think you've gotten me confused with my twin sister, my name is…" the woman was about to say… "Her name is Destiny." Caleb said interrupting. "Oh Mr. Morley, you just don't seem to happy to see me." Destiny said extending her hand to shake his but Caleb pushed her hand away. "We are leaving." Caleb said grabbing Livvie's arm. "No, no, no.." Destiny continued "You can't leave until the evening is over sweetie." Destiny said and than disappeared in mid-air with laughter filling the room that was once filled with music.
"What the hell was that?" Chris said looking around at everyone's surprised looks and blank stares. "That is something that you don't want to get involved with." Rafe said looking at Chris. "Something?" Jamal said with a confused tone. "Destiny is not a normal person--she's a faerie and she's not the nicest faerie you'll ever meet." Rafe replied. "Hey does anyone know where Jack went?" Alison asked looking around. Rafe and Caleb both looked at one another with fear in their eyes.
Meanwhile Jack is following the sound of the song that only he hears… "I have to find you." Jack whispered Lyrics: you don't remember me but i remember you
i lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
but who can decide what they dream?
and dream i do…
"You're getting closer." Jessica's voice rang through the hidden hallway that Jack had "found." Lyrics: i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
"Please bring me to you--I need you right now." Jack said looking into a room and Jessica's laugh entered the hallway. Lyrics: have you forgotten all i know
and all we had?
you saw me mourning my love for you
and touched my hand
i knew you loved me then
Jack finally got to the first master bedroom and opened the door which revealed white satins and silks lying around. On the bed lie the woman that he had been looking for. "I finally found you." Jack said rushing over to the bed and the both of them kissed to the sound of the music that they heard Lyrics: i look in the mirror and see your face
if i look deep enough
so many things inside that are just like you are taking over
