1 Chapter 19
1.1 The Ball
Eve walked into her room to see a light pearly dress tinted with red and blue, causing colors to shimmer light lavender. It was a necktie and ended at her knees. Eve also wondered how Gwena got the measurements perfect. The last time she remembered wearing a dress was when she was a little girl about five or so. Eve remembered a girly little pink dress with daisies on it. Her mother, Rinoa made it and she was so proud to see her little girl wearing it. Eve sighed and started to put the dress on. She swore viciously when she couldn't get the zipper closed until an hour later. She finally stood before the mirror and gazed at her reflection. It was O.k. to her and she would have her hair loose so it would cover her weapon that would hang in the back.
She heard the door open and Gwena came in with five shopping bags. She smiled and complimented Dava on how gorgeous she looked in that dress.
"Whatever, when do we leave?" Eve demanded. Gwena looked at her surprised and burst out laughing. "What?
You are not even presentable yet! I went shopping and got a whole bunch of stuff including an art set that costs a bundle in Esther but not much here."
"You're an artist?" Eve asked as she sat down on the sofa.
"Yeah, my mother says I got it from her because she used to doodle little drawings when she was my age. She said, 'that's what happens when you get bored and have nothing else to do unless some psycho woman tries to take over the world'! She is so hilarious and I miss her." Gwena added. Eve wondered about her own mother and how she was fairing.
"Anyway, since you're already in your dress, how about we start with your hair, huh?" Gwena asked.
Eve looked at Gwena and sighed.
It was about six in the afternoon when Vanyel came to pick both girls up. He liked Gwena a lot for some reason, which to him was a surprise. Gwena had a character of a woman who was responsible, caring, very straight foreword, and had a great sense of humor. Yet she flirted a lot even to him, which he found appealing. Van wore his navy blue Balamb uniform and his hair was tied in the back. He thought he looked like his father for a second and shook his head. He wasn't a pimp!
When the door opened her found a blonde haired woman in an azure dress that was strapless and ended at the bottom of her feet. Vanyel thought his eyes would pop when he saw Dava dressed up ready to go. I can't believe my eyes… is that Dava? He kept staring at her until she glared at him. She didn't seem to want to go at all, and thought that Gwena had something to do with it.
"Are we ready to go?" Vanyel asked.
"Yup! Dava?" Gwena asked as she turned around to see what her roommate was doing.
Eve was strapping on Silverraine and looked at the two people staring at her in bewilderment.
"What?! I'm not going anywhere without her!" Eve growled.
"Fine with me."
"Yeah…me too." Van said.

Eve didn't want to go to a stupid ball! She trailed behind Van and Gwena and wondered, what if I just sneak away? They won't notice… Eve smiled and began to slow down, when they were coming out of the dormitories, Eve swerved quietly to the left while the two walked to the right. She congratulated herself and looked back to see if they noticed anything different. Eve sighed happily and decided to wait until it was safe to go back to her dorm and change. She sat down Indian style onto the wooden bench placing Silverraine onto her lap. She looked down onto its silvery surface and wondered about everything that came to mind.
I am a sorceress… am I like the evil woman, Ultimecia? Several people have said that the woman was beautiful, yet deadly. It was also true that her mother was like her… could I have inherited her powers? No! She still has power…so it can't be from her, but from whom?
"Dava? Why are you here and not at the ball?" Mistress Edea asked.
"I'm not going. Balls are ridiculous and boring." Eve answered.
"They are not that bad, when I was younger I used to go to everyone of them! They are grand and very hilarious. You should come with me, maybe if you experience a party, you'll come every time." Edea said. The woman looked at the young sorceress and frowned. Dava hadn't even smiled or looked up. Now that she thought of it, Dava never smiled. She was always this serious lone student and short tempered. This woman reminded her so much of Squall… Edea sat down onto the bench and sighed.
"Dava, would you mind if I asked you a question?" Edea began.
"Whatever." Eve murmured.
You came to us about ten months ago, and Cid and I have been wondering what of your parents? Do you have any?" Edea asked cautiously.
Eve on the other hand was a bit startled but she didn't show it, she kept her cool and her eyes on her blade. What would she have to say? I'll say that I was an orphan from the city of um…Timber? No, Esther! There's so many people there that she won't be able to find out.
"I'm an orphan." She replied. Edea looked at Dava and smiled, she knew how an orphan felt like without parents. Squall, Quisy, Seifer, and everyone else of the orphanage gang felt that way too but in the end they grew as a family.
"I'm sorry Dava, where did you come from anyway?" she inquired.
"Esther." Eve answered.
"Well, I see that you picked the right school. Now come on, get up and let's go to the ball. All right?" Edea asked.
"Like I said I don't want to go." Eve retorted.
"Dava, as your teacher and instructor in the arts of magic, I demand that you come along." Edea ordered. Her patience was wearing thin. Eve noticed her teachers command and as the student she obeyed. She stood up strapped Silverraine back and followed her teacher.
