It was third lesson Asha still hadn't let much slip and everyone was concentrating as they were fencing with spears. When told to go in pairs Asha offered to be her partner and Crystal agreed. As they circled each other Crystal got the impression that Asha had at least some practice first Asha tried to make Crystal weapon fall Crystals face was emotionless as she calmly deflected all of Asha's efforts Asha wasn't that good but also looked determined to win Crystal seeing that time was staring to drag twisted her arm and sent Asha's spear crashing to the ground. Everyone had to deal with failure sometimes except for her self that is Crystal thought. Asha sighed, gave Crystal a suspicious look before joining the rest of the class in the changing rooms.
At lunch she had decided to feed so left the school premises and drained two women and one man of all their blood. Leaving them behind she returned to the school premises only to see Asha with a guy definitely well muscled and moving with a predatory lightness. Walking toward Asha she forced herself to smile she had to gain Asha's trust and if smiles were going to help she was definitely trying them. Getting closer she noticed Storm the guy who had his arm protectively around Asha was Storm.
The one she had been ordered to fight in an intense match not so long ago. As both of them had been extremely talented it had been decided they fight each other to see who was the best. Even though she was better she new the guy meant trouble his power was unbelievably and could be sensed ten feet away.
Crystal
"Crystal so pleased to meet you" Storm purred smiling comically across at her. Crystal didn't bother replying instead studied the wall behind his head. Asha smiled away her eyes mischievous. Storm smiled "want to join us sweetheart" Crystal new his tone of voice meant trouble however agreed that's what she was being paid for after all." I might do" she said innocently. "Oh by the way hes my brother" Asha grinned. "Have you two met each other before or something?"
"Humm" Storm murmured. Before Crystal could move Storm was in front of her ruffling her hair, to close to be reassuring. As she was about to react he turned and walked away. Crystal was shocked he had touched her and she had let him she was seriously losing her touch.
Later that evening Crystal sat studying Asha's package why had Sanama ordered her to kill Asha it wasn't like she was dangerous or particularly talented. Yawning she went over the phone call she had received definitely weird she had been walking back from Witham College when her mobile rang. Shrill and loud hastily picking it up she had smiled wondering if it were Storm however it was Sanama. "Look you know the girl I no longer want you to watch her but to kill her when will it be done by?" he had asked quickly. Crystal had been stunned by this news Sanama never ordered a killing though a phone line and definitely would have gone into more detail what was going on here. "Soon" crystal had said curtly and cut the call going over what he had said she was confused Sanama was never careless and was usually more commanding. What had changed?
Seeing her maid, Milane she was angry to be interrupted from her thoughts. "What are you doing here get out of my sight".
"Err there someone her to see you" her maid mumbled not quite meeting her eyes. Sighing she called for the unknown visitor as she called she felt her arms prickling and felt electricity in the air a second before Storm entered the room.
With one quick flick of her wrists she transferred all her notes on Asha into a cabinet before he realized. "Yes and what brings you here at this late hour" Crystal smirked. Looking bored, he asked "well there's this ball tomorrow not far from here near Oakville wana come?"
Crystal stared at him wondering why he would want to invite her "look I'm busy I'll let you know soon" she said without looking up.
Turning she bumped into something or someone should she say. "What is with you and standing so close to me am I really that irresistible?" She murmured. Storm merely stood there staring down at her after a minute of silence he replied. "I know you'll be there darling" and gently pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear as he nonchalantly left the room. Great that was the second time he had touched her in a matter of hours Crystal thought sulkily. And what was his fascination with her hair?
Crystal was rudely awakened by her alarm clock. Groaning she got out of bed. Aright get a grip she thought carelessly. As she walked woozily towards her cupboards she realized her head was hurting. Just great she had a killer head ache and her skull was pounding. Lifting her right hand to her temple she mumbled a few words and sent healing energy to her cells. In minutes she felt much better and cheerfully opened her wardrobe she was going to be meeting Storm in a few hours. So she wanted to look just perfect hum what should she wear seeing a beautiful red dress the color of blood she new she had decided.
It had been one of her mothers it was a boob tube from the shoulders tight fitted till the waist and then flared like a Victorian dress covering her feet. On her back the dress was crisscrossed and she new she'd look good in it. Choosing red dangly earrings and a silver chain with a red rose she threw them on her bed. Now for shoes she called for Milane. I want my red strappy shoes which have a pointy front and straps till my knees right now Crystal snapped. A moment later Milane resurfaced. "Here Madam" she mumbled.
Crystal
"Leave them in my dressing room" hissed Crystal as she went into her bathroom, her hair how she should wear that? After soaking in the bath for two blissful hours she walked into her mirror room the room was circular and was made of mirrors so that she could see herself from all angles.
Calling for Milane she demanded her clothes and they were brought to her as they arrived Crystal gracefully slipped on the dress and smiled at her reflection. It fell perfectly on her hips outlining her slim waste then falling elegantly down to her feet. Next she strapped on her shoes knowing she looked beautiful, she grinned her eyes mischievous. Then she called for two of her beauticians and hair dresser. As they arrived she ordered her nails and lips be painted a blood red and for her hair to be done.
Hours later, they left the room and she smiled at her reflection her hair had been put up in a bun with a bright red flower on the right hand side. In front of the bun was a tiara that had been her mothers her eyelashes looked long and her skin soft and fresh. Her lips had been made to pout her nails were long and nicely shaped on each nail was a beautiful red diamond and each was painted a deep crimson matching her dress perfectly. Lastly she dabbed a little heavenly perfume behind each ear and wrist. The overall effect was breathtaking crystal was never really vain but the girl she saw before her was unbelievably pretty. Looking at the clock she realized it was half seven calling a limousine she walked royally down the path and into the midnight black limo that awaited her. Ready and prepared for the long exciting night ahead of her.
As she walked into the room she felt every girls and guys upon her. She wondered if they were looking at her in admiration or pity. As everyone else seemed to be dressed in short casual designer gowns. Crystal began to feel self-conscious and felt the need to get away from everyone she headed towards the balcony. Once there she began gazing at the city that lay below her as she wondered weather she should go back home and change to a more casual outfit. She felt someone's gaze on her bare back and the hair on the back of her neck stood on end and even before she whirled around she new who to expect. However she was amazed at the sight before her she was left standing there with her mouth wide open.
A few second later she realized and snapped it shut. But looking at the smile on Storms face it made obvious that he new that she liked what she saw. His Armani suit emphasized his broad shoulders and toned body his aftershave gave of a wild and forestry scent making him seem more mysterious. A minute later she realized that she had been examining his face in great detail. Flustered she looked away Storm walked towards her with a bounce in his step this caught her attention.
Scowling she wondered how a vain guy with a bounce in his step could catch her eye. Beautiful he murmured.
"Why thank you" crystal smiled immediately brightening.
"No not you sweetheart I was talking about the sunset behind you" laughed storm a twinkle in his eyes.
