Desri and Erik exited the limo and Desri looked in awe at the magnificent building infront of her. She smiled as Erik's fingers intertwined with her own and they walked up the steps to the entrance.

At the entrance a man in a tuxedo stood their as he opened to door for the two teens. They both nodded thanks to him as they entered to see dancing and merriment. Couples were glading across the floor and old friends were chattering about things that had happened to them in their time apart.

Erik led Desri down the grand stair case gracefully and smiled at her as they stopped at the bottom. "Would you care to dance?" He said holding out his hand and she placed her's in his palm smiling.

"Of corse." she said simplely before she was swept off into the crowd of dancers. The music filled her mind as she closed her eyes dancing with Erik as he led her across the floor.

Nikolas entered the room as he looked down seeing Desri gliding across the room while she danced with his younger brother. His fists clentched and his eye twitched slightly as his face grew red with anger. He made his way down the steps and stood at the side fo the dancers leaning agianst the wall as he waited to be noticed.

Desri and Erik were dancing peacefully until Desri opened her eyes. She said Nikolas standing agianst a wall with angry features and she gasped startling Erik and they accidently bumped into one of the other dancers and they both fell to the ground infront of Nikolas.

Desri had landed on a very shocked Erik but was paying no attention to the boy. Her eyes were glued on Nikolas who hadn't moved an inch. Erik blinked and looked at Desri then at Nikolas, who was now walking over to them. Nikolas lifted her off him and then began to pull her up the steps.

Desri looked back at Erik who was looking at her confused as she was pulled up to the staircase and towards the door. Erik snapped otu of his shocked state and ran up following them jsut as they walked out of the door. The man that had once been standing at the door was gone. Erik looked to see Desri and Nikolas argueing. "What were you doing here with him!" He yelled at her as she looked hurt.

"I was here to have a good time with my friend." She retorted and glared at him slightly.

"Friend? Friends dont do the kind of things you guys have been doing!" He yeleld at her and she stepped back slightly nervous.

"I know but Nikolas-" She was cut off by a slap across her face and Nikolas turned away from her.

He looked down at the ground as tears streamed down his cheeks. He hadn't ment to slap her but he was so angry. Why was she here with that man! "I'm sorry." He whispered quietly for slapping her as he heard her sobs then footsteps.

Turning around thinking it was her running away he was greeted not by her fleeing but Erik running over to Desri. "Desri! Are you ok?" Erik asked wiping tears away from her face. "Who is that man?" He siad now looking furiously angry towards Nikolas.

Nikolas looked just as angry and stomped over. "I'm Nikolas, and you are nothing but a monster! Stay away from Desri or I'll make sure you and your perfect family never see the light of day agian!" He yelled making Erik's eye's widen.

'He knows whats under my mask? But how? I have never ment this...wait his face...It looks familiar. It looks like the good half of my face. He can't be my older brother could he?' Erik thought as he watched Desri stop sobbing and looking at Nikolas and Erik confused.

Nikolas smirked at Erik's fearful and shocked expression. "Yes, I know why you wear a mask! Be cuase all you are is a monster." Nikolas yelled pushing Erik and making him fall back onto the pavement. He kicked the side of Erik's face that the mask was on and it began to break.

Erik rolled over onto his stomach from getting kicked across the face as he heard Desri's cries of protest to Nikolas. Nikolas ignored them though as Erik began to sit up he was kicked back down and Nikolas kneeled by him holding him by his hair. "Look Desri, look at this hideous creature you call a friend! He's no friend! He's a demon! A demon that has ruined my life since the day he came into existance." He yelled at Desri as he now had tears in his eyes.

Nikolas ripped the mask off Erik's face reveiling the bioled and twisted flesh that had always been hidden. Desri's face looked shocked but was soon depression as she saw Erik shedding tears as he saw her reaction. "Erik.." She whispered as he pushed Nikolas away then got up and ran off tears streaming down his face. "Erik! Wait!" She shouted and ran after him as fast as she could.

Erik heard Desri yell for him but was to upset to face her. She had been scared of him because of his aborhent and scarred face. She would never want to be his friend, or even want to see him agian. But yet he could hear her still following and screaming his name until he heard her scream. He stopped and turned around to see Desri had followed him around the corner and just as she did she had been grabbed by a man.
