After my half an hour shower, I grabbed my black spandex dress. I carefully applied my black eyeliner, considering I had really never tried to put it on without a mirror I didn't want it to smudge. I guess after all of those times of applying the same black eyeliner the same way you would think that I don't need to rely on a mirror. Those little things I never though of how much that they actually mattered in my life, but now I guess I'll have to live without them because from this point there's no turning back.
I took a really steady hand to apply the eyeliner somewhat straight but I think I did fine, or at least hope I did. Next it was time for the mascara. This, this was probably easier than the eyeliner. But still, I'm used to a mirror.
After getting my makeup on and getting dressed I didn't have anymore energy to really do my hair. I used most of my energy juts brushing my mid-long black hair and put in my semi-signature skull hairpins. Now it was time for a long trek downstairs. I could hardly wait for the stairs.
I took a deep breath and gathered a bit of courage and strength and began my journey down the hall. I placed my hands on opposite walls and slowly moved one foot in front of the other. At the same time I slid my hands against the wall too. In only five minutes I moved about three feet. I was exhausted.
"Do you need some help?" Alexander was standing in front of my chuckling at my attempt to walk.
"No, no I'm fine." I was trying to fix myself back up in to a more natural position. I really didn't want to look like a damsel in distress, even though I kind of was. I really don't want Alexander to think that I or better yet we made the wrong decision.
"Are you sure you don't want any help?" He was at my level right now, offering me a hand. I looked at it, did I want help or not. Did I want to prove something? I don't know right now I'm just so confused.
"You're the one that said I had to walk." There was a catch to this and I knew it, I did remember that Alexander did want me to walk. I didn't know he would help me.
"And you're the one that wanted to become a vampire and didn't want to wait." Touché, I guess he was right. I couldn't wait, I wanted to become a creature of the night and I wanted to be with him forever. I just wanted to be in his arms forever. His deep dark chocolate eyes were looking at me with the tenderest look I have ever seen from someone. It melted me, I had to give in just a little.
"Alright you win. I do need som--- hey you said I had to walk and you wouldn't carry me!" There was something fishy bout this, usually I was the more rebellious one. But maybe a little rubbed off on him?
"I never said that, I just meant that you have to walk a little, and you have. Now you get your reward." He teased me now. I now I got his little game. He wanted me to work for an unseen goal and I think I reached the goal and now I get my reward. And I think I know what that will be. I fell back on to the floor. Alexander laughed just a bit, then he tenderly kissed my lips. He scooped my up into his arms. Then we descended down the stairs.
"How's your reward?" He whispered to me.
"I love it, and thank you."
"For what?" He gave me a sort of confused look.
"For believing in me, us, and for making my dreams come true."
"Your welcome." We were at the bottom, he gently set me back on the floor and felt like I was rejuvenated and could do anything.
I remember seeing the mansion at night, but now it was different or at least I was different.
