Amber entered her room that was red in color, and her sheets were a light red with black roses sown on the blanket. Her pillows were a black with one single red rose on the middle pillow. Amber held the journal close to her chest, searching for a place no one would find it. She couldn't believe that Daniel had passed it at least 5 times, and it really suprised her, he usually could find anything within 15 seconds. That's when she remembered her middle locked drawer, the only one that was ever locked. She took the key from her golden necklace her real father had given her before he went to Irag for the war. Inside, the drawer was lined with a pink satin that Amber had installed herself.

There layed her journal, a picture of her father, and her mother's jewlery. She placed the book gently on the floor, and picked up the jewlery box. Inside were beautiful rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Her favorite ring was the garnet that was blood red. She put it on her finger, wishing she could have known her mother, her father always said she was the most beautiful woman on earth.Amber smiled to herself. If only I could've inherited her beautiful looks like father always said she had. If only... She picked up her favorite piece of jewlery, the heart shaped ruby with gold outlining it. She put it on as well, slowly realizing how imperfect she was. She hated her glasses, her face, pretty much everything except for her blue eyes. Amber could hear Daniel fumble around in his room, and she lightly giggled to herself imagining him falling on his ass. She put on her red dress that looked like a dress you would wear to a cocktail party. It was short, going up to her thigh and the straps were like really small strings that tied behind her neck like a halter top.

You could hardly notice the straps, all you could see around her neck was her mother's necklace. She then put on her red high heels, then went to the bathroom to do her hair. She hardly ever put it up, so she decided to curl her hair and put it up in a bun with only two strands going infront of her face. She did her makeup, and did something she thought she would never do...take off her glasses.

Everything was blurry, then everything started to come up except for the things far away. She walked out of the bathroom, and forgot to put the journal into the drawer. She put it in and locked it quickly. She unhooked her mother's necklace she had on, and put on the key that slide down and was right next to the heart. She picked up her matching purse and put her glasses inside, and put her warm black jacket on. As she went downstairs slowly, Marissa and Jacob were sitting in the living room. Jacob looked up and stared.

"Ok...the world has gone gay...You took off your glasses...ok...weird..." "Oh you're so nice Jacob," Amber said sarcastically. "I know."

Soon Daniel came downstairs trying to gain his composure. His collar stuck up in the air and his blonde hair was all messy. Marissa started laughing, "Honey, what happened?" "Oh, nothing." She fixed his collar and his hair, and everyone started to walk out the door. "Wait...Amber...you took off your glasses?" Amber just smiled sheepishly, and walked out the door.

Jenna was with her parents at the party, and so far it was boring. She tapped her foot impaciently waiting for her friend to come. The door opened with Amber slwoly awlking down the stairs. Jenna walked up to her friend and she really wanted to scream at her friend for being late, until she saw that Amber wasn;t wearing any glasses. "Amber...you're not wearing your glasses."

"Oy vay. I know ok. Nuff said." Jenna laughed and both walked toward the table of food and drinks.

Dracula sensed that Daniel was here with his family. he walked over to them, and bowed. "Good evening Marissa, Jacob, and Daniel..." Daniel realized that Dracula had emphasized on his name. He gulped and told his wife and son to go and enjoy themselves. "You didn't find it did you?" Daniel started to shake.

"No...I didn't. I looked for hours and hours. I looked everywhere I could think of." "Clearly you weren't looking hard enough." Daniel looked down at the floor, knowing what was to come. Dracula sighed and tried to calm himself.

"Daniel...just go...now! I'll talk to you later on the matter." Daniel walked away briskly over to his friends. Dracula was angry, but he didn't want to ruin the night...yet. He walked over to his date, a red head that reminded him of Aleera. He could hear every converstation, and everything was calm so far. Then he heard laughing. Dracula looked over to his right to see Amber and her friend laughing. He noticed she wasn't wearing glasses, and he had to admit she was very attractive. He couldn't help but think that the dress was a little revealing as well. Dracula decided to leave his date, and say hello to the two.

"I can't belive you're not wearing glasses!" Jenna laughed. "You look sooo...so different. I like it." "Thanks but please don't say I need to get contacts. I can't stand the fact of sticking something in my eye." "I won't, I promise," Jenna laughed.

Jenna stopped laughing, and it puzzled Amber. She turned around to see Vlad standing there. Amber smiled. "Hello Amber, and who is your friend?" "This is Jenna, and it's nice to see you." "Likewise, and might I say you look very beautiful tonight."

"Thank you." He bowed and the Christmas music began. Dracula got an idea and decided to ask her. "Amber would you like a dance?" "Of course." She took his hand and she felt like she was glowing. She had never danced with anyone before, and tonight she felt special for once.
