Chapter four
Dresses

Okay ya hi. When you're reading this it will be kinda confusing. I'm trying out a new idea so when Tobe (yay! I added him in.) his telling Kel the rules, each person the rule was more cough intended to apply to will think some thing to do with that rule. These people are still in their separate rooms doing separate things.

Kel, after being shooed from Alanna's room waited patiently for her dress to arrive. In the time that she had been alone she had managed to regain her Yamani calm.

"Uhhh, mi'lady I've been asked by milord Raoul to bring you your dress for tonight."

"Tobe come in please." A rather red faced Tobe came in.

"Mi'lady all the ladies are being given specially picked dresses, and maids to help them get ready. There is also a list of rules. One: Don't kill or harm or attempt to kill or harm the maids."

Don't kill the maids. Thought Alanna, What on earth gave them the impression I would kill the maids? The maids took out the dress ready to help her get ready. Only one thought crossed Alanna's mind as she had her first glimpse of the dress. I will kill them before I let them put that on me.

"Do not use your magic, if you have any to get away from the maids."

What could possibly be so horrible about the dress that I would shape shift to get away? She moved the large linen sheets that covered the dress, so she could see it. Oh no. They let Numair pick my dress.

"You may not pull rank, and command the maids to leave."

I'm Queen. I should be able to pull rank! Oh gods, that's an ugly dress. "Out all of you out!"

"Um, mi'lady we was told that if you told us to leave we weren't supposed to."

I hate my husband. I should have let Alanna marry him. No that's not true. She looked at the dress again. Yes, it is.

"The final rule mi'lady is that you are not allowed to turn renegade jus' 'cause you don't like your dress."

"So thoughtful," said Kel as Tobe left, leaving the dress behind.

Kel walked over to the dress. Looking at it she barely managed to stifle a gasp. The dress was made of a deep burgonet fabric, with slits of dark green at the bottom of the dress and the end of the sleeves. The dark green corset had a red flower embroidered on it, and emphasized a very daring neck line.

The maids entered the room. Now to become a proper court lady. Oh goddess, how much face paint do they have?

Alanna looked at her reflection in the mirror. Orange. I loath orange. I look appalling in orange. Why did it have to be Orange? Just then she noticed something about the beading on the dress that made her want to rip it off her skin.

"Roger"

Thayet was disgusted with her reflection in the mirror. The dress she was wearing had large vertical pink and lime green stripes. Not only that but her head band had pink and lime green stripes. And on top of that her bodice had large horizontal pink and lime green stripes.

I look so bloody fat!

Daine vowed by every god to kill Numair Salmin, when next given the chance. Her dress was grey-blue just like her eyes. The collar of the beautiful silk concoction went around her neck, but unfortunately the fabric stopped leaving a large part of skin exposed between it and the dress's daring neck line. The collar of the dress and the neck line were only connected by a silver chain, which had large blue-grey stones attached to it at intervals. The dress's skirts were comprised of several layers of elegant ruffles.

Yuki left her room and headed toward the mess hall in her simple white Kimono. Well this isn't so horrible. I hope the others like their dresses

.

I know this took forever in coming and is fairly short but the next one will be out soon. This one would have been out sooner had I not been put on probation, AGAIN! I'm starting to wonder how Kel survived a year of it!
