Kagura's POV
I was so excited. Today was the day of the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball! I just loved my gorgeous swords woman costume. It looked truly stunning. I hope I could dance with Rogue. He was so mysterious yet cute!
I turned to look at my costume lying on my bed. It took a week and a half to finish it and I was proud of myself. My sisters and I decided to make our own costumes because we knew that the royal dress makers would have their hands full.
Flashback to 1 1/2 weeks ago
Mira's POV
"Let's all go visit the Royal dress makers today!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Ya! We don't have much to do today and we already gave the details for Lady Minerva, Lady Angel, Lady Flare, and Lady Lisanna's dresses." Wendy smiled.
"Alright then." Erza said with a smile. "But we shouldn't disturb them when we go get our materials."
"Yes. They must be very busy as the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball is coming up in one and a half weeks." I said.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Kagura exclaimed.
We all laughed and made out way to the bronze staircase which would take us to the fourth floor where the Royal dress makers were located 2 doors to the right.
When we arrived we were shocked. Surrounding the 15 dress makers were piles and piles of different fabric, material, dresses, shirts, pants, skirts, blouses, hats, and shoes. The 15 dress makers were all very busy. There was a very, very long list on the wall in front of them. From the looks if it, it seemed to be costume requests from people around the palace. That was a lot of requests for 10 ladies and 5 men to do in one and a half weeks.
"Excuse me Miss?" Yukino called to the dress makers closest to us. She turned toward, exhaustion represented on her face.
"Yes?" She asked really quietly. She seemed really shy.
The girl had bubblegum pink hair that was curled on the edges. She had big brown eyes and was wearing a white wool strapless dress that ended midthigh, yellow stockings, and white wool boots that stopped just below her knees. She had a pink belt that was slightly tilted. She also wore a white wool choker. She was very pretty.
"We were just wondering if we could use some fabric and materials from here to make our costume for the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball Miss..." I said sweetly.
"Aries." She said. "Please don't call me Miss, it makes me feel old. I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing Aries?" Lucy asked confused. We were all confused as well.
"I'm sorry. It's just a habit of mine. I'm sorry." Aries replied with a hand on her cheek and her cheek tilted, a light blush staining her pale cheeks.
"It's fine." Erza said with a soft smile.
"So could we borrow some fabric and materials for our costumes?" Yukino spoke up bringing us to the topic we started with.
"I'm pretty sure you can. I'm sorry." Aries timidly replied. "Let me just asked Leo where the extra materials are. I'm sorry."
"Someone say my name?" A strong male voice rang out.
We all turned to see a tall male. He was wearing a suit and tie. His hair was orange and like a lions mane. He wore blue tinted glasses and had a boyish smirk plastered on his face. He looked handsome.
Aries blushed a darker shade of pink that it almost matched her hair. She averted her eyes from Leo as he smiled gently at her.
My long gone matchmaking senses woke up then. Leo and Aries like each other! Oh my Mavis! This is so cute!
Leo turned to us. "Well hello there you beautiful young ladies." He said smoothly, giving us each a kiss on our hands.
Ooooooh! Leo is a flirt that timid, shy Aries fell for! This was too good to be true! Of course the big bold lion falls for the timid, shy ram!
"My name is Leo Loke Lions." Leo introduced. "I mostly go by Loke. Aries is one of the few people who call me Leo."
"Nice to meet you Loke." Lucy said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too, beautiful. Now tell me, what's your name gorgeous?" Loke said smoothly with a smirk.
Lucy blushed a little at being complimented like that. It wasn't everyday that she was complimented by a male.
I looked over at Aries to see a small sad smile on her face. Her eyes showed hurt and sadness. I felt so sorry for her. If only she knew that Loke liked her too. It was obvious with the way he looked at her and the happiness that showed in his eyes when his eyes landed on her.
"My name is Lucy." Lucy said after regaining herself. "These are my sisters Mira, Erza, Yukino, Kagura, Wendy, Juvia, and Levy."
We each waved as she said our names.
"Really now." Loke said a little suprised. "Your the girls that the Princes of Fiore fell for. Despite the fact that Prince Laxus, Jellal, Natsu, and Sting are engaged."
"W-what?" I asked a little flustered. The Princes of Fiore fell for me and my sisters. I was astonished. I knew that me and my sisters each had an eye on a prince each as well as the entire kingdom. But out of all the girls in the kingdom and the fiancées of Prince Laxus, Jellal, Natsu, and Sting, they chose us. We all blushed.
"You didn't know?" Loke said astonished. "It's all the maids and butlers are talking about. Eight sisters who came to the palace as maids for the four ladies and got the Princes of Fiore to fall for them. "
"Those must be rumors!" Kagura said with a light blush.
"Yeah!" Levy agreed.
"Juvia thinks that there is no way that the princes would fall for maids like us!" Juvia said her face pink.
"Even if we are the Royal Wedding Planners for the weddings of the century there is no way that the Princes of Fiore love us!" Erza said in her demanding voice trying to hide her blush.
Loke smirked. "Sure. I believe you. It must be another group of eight sisters that work for four ladies."
We all blushed even more. Aries looked like she was going to laugh but instead just smiled real big.
"Now how about I help you out as the beautiful Aries offered you my assistance." Loke said winking at Aries as she blushed more.
"We just wanted to know where the extra materials are as we are going to make our own costumes for the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball." Wendy spoke up.
We all nodded trying to get the pinks and reds out of our cheeks.
"Alright then." Loke said still smirking. "Follow me. You too Aries."
All nine of us followed Loke to a big wooden door in the corner of the large room. He opened it to reveal more mountains of fabric, materials, tops, blouses, hats, pants, skirts, and shoes that were color coded.
"Wow." We all breathed. This was a lot of materials.
"There's a door beside the gold pile. Through that door is a room which has accessories. Any kind of accessory you want. They are all color coded as well with each type sorted. I'm sorry." Aries spoke up.
"Thank you so much!" Yukino said. "Once we choose our materials we'd be glad to help you out with all the costume requests you've gotten."
We all nodded in agreement.
Loke and Aries eyes widened in suprise.
"You don't have to do that!" Loke said.
"I'm sorry. You don't have to. We've got it all under control!" Aries exclaimed.
"Nonsense!" Erza said. "We'd be glad to help. After we help you we will still have time to make our costumes."
"You girls truly are one of a kind." Loke said with a smile.
"You're too kind of souls, really. I'm sorry." Aries smiled.
"The princes chose well." Loke smirked.
We all blushed.
"It's nothing, really." Kagura said.
"Thank you." Aries said timidly.
"We better get back then. See you later." Loke said.
"See you." We all chorused.
Loke and Aries left leaving us to find materials for our costumes.
Flashback Over
Kagura's POV
It was a very busy week and a half but we did it. We helped the Royal dress makers and made our own costumes. I considered my costume too be very detailed. I put on my costume as the ball started in 3 hours and my sisters and I were going to talk a little before it started.
My costume has a strapless silver armor top with designs. It pushed up my breasts making them pop in a classy way and not a sultry way. The bottom part was a skirt like silver armor with flaps. Underneath the skirt armor I wore a chain link skirt with small blue flaps. A black belt split in the middle of the armored top and skirt. I wore silver leggings with two buckled belts crossing over each other on my right thigh. I had silver designed boots with 2 inch heels that stopped just below my knees. My shoulders were covered with small black armor parts that were positioned in a layered way. It went till my wrists were I wore gloves with a rounded opening. I wore a long white cape to match the outfit with. The cape collar was silver with small gold designs. I had a silver designed sheath with a beautiful sword, a fake one, on my left hip.
I wore light blue eyeshadow with eyeliner and mascara. My lips were a dark dark purple. I had my hair in a high ponytail with a matching headpiece. The headpiece came with a small crown like piece that I attached to where my hair was tied. It connected all the way around with a jewel like piece on my forehead and two long pieces dangling of the side of my head. I wore matching earrings. I also wore my mask, it was a masquerade ball. The mask was silver with blue and gold touches. The edges curled softly inward in gold.
I looked in the mirror. I thought I looked stunning. I hope Rogue thought so too.
Rogue's POV
It was currently three hours before the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball. I was getting ready in my dark and mysterious shadow costume.
My costume consisted of a black short sleeved v-neck shirt with white stiches on the sleeves and neckline. A black scarf folded in a triangle style was placed over the v-neck. I wore black jeans with a thick black belt that had silver designs on it. I wore black gloves that stopped halfway to my elbow. I wore black thick bracelets on each wrist. Both bracelets had silver diamonds on them that popped out. I completed the look with a high collared black cape, black ankle boots, my favorite black sword that I always wear, and my simple black mask that had small silver designs on the edges. I looked like a shadow assassin when j was just supposed to a shadow but hey, I always carry my sword so shadow assassin it is.
I hope I got to dance with the ever so charming Kagura. She was mysterious just like me I suppose.
Mira's POV
I was getting ready for the ball. I was so excited. I finally got to go to another ball and I was really hoping Laxus would dance with me even if he was engaged to Lady Angel. I feel as if we got a lot closer during the days I was in the infirmary because he visited me at least twice a day while I was there. He was so sweet and kind despite the scary aura everyone sees from him.
I considered my dark angel costume to be simple yet lovely. It was a beautiful white dress that had a single strap on the left shoulder. The front part of the dress ended a few inches above midthigh while the back ended at the knees. The hem looked like it was ripped and jagged to give off a dark and creepy look. I wore black stockings that ended an inch below midthigh. The top part of the stockings were a little ruffled tied off with a black ribbon. I wore elbow length black gloves with black layered bracelets. I wore knee high black boots with a silver pattern. My wings were hard to make but came out spectacular. They were made from black feathers and sort of looked like butterfly wings.
I wore black mascara with eyeliner and very dark blue eyeshadow. My lipstick was black and my white hair was curled on the edges. My bangs were pinned to one side using two feathery clips. I had a headpiece that was a chain circlet which held a small pendent of a crescent moon on my forehead. I wore a black choker with a small white diamonds. My earrings were black feathery dangles. I completed my look with a black mask. The edges curled outward like feathers as they were black feathers. The rest of the mask had small thin silver swirls and the edges outlined in tiny diamonds.
I thought I looked devishly dark. I was ready for the ball.
Laxus's POV
I was in my room trying to get my costume on. It was hard work. I hope I got to dance with Mira at today's ball. I wondered what costume she was going to wear. I'm pretty sure it would be something colorful and cheerful just like her.
My costume of Thor was mostly armor. It consisted of a silver plated long sleeved shirt and pants. On top of it I wore a brown vest with four silver circles. The top two circles connected with my long red cape. I wore a thick brown belt with a golden buckle. I had straps across my vest. My brown boots went to my knees with the edges flaring out like wings. I wore my helmet that left my face uncovered. The sides and wings that were facing away from me. I finished by putting on my red mask with gold lightning designs and lifting Mjölnir. Thor's hammer.
I hope Mira thought well of my costume. I feel as if it suited me and my personality.
Lucy's POV
I was getting for the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball while daydreaming about my sweet childish Prince. I hope I see Natsu. I'm pretty sure I will but I want him to see me. What if he doesn't recognize me in my costume.
I started getting dressed in my gorgeous phoenix costume. It was a big strapless orange dress. The top had small orange fringes protruding upward as fire because phoenixes are birds of fire. The middle of the tip had a small feather that was green. The skirt was a little poofy and was orange as well. It had multiple layers as feathers of the Phoenix. The first layer ended midthigh and was in a tattered like way. The second layer was the feathers that were orange, green, and yellow. The third layer was just an flowy orange skirt with a yellow skirt below it as the fourth layer. I had an attached belt with small emeralds in the center. I wore orange gloves that ended between my elbows and shoulder and at the top of the gloves were feathers. I wore a small pearl bracelet around my left wrist. I had on a gold colored choker with a green phoenix feather in the center. My earrings were orange phoenix feathers. I had my golden hair down with the top half in a bun where I placed the headpiece that was made of emeralds and orange and green phoenix feathers. I finished the outfit with orange 2 inch strappy heels and an orange mask with orange and green feathers on the tip with small gold swirls.
I put on gold and orange eyeshadow with eyeliner and mascara. I put on a little light pink blush and light orange lipstick. I was prepared for the ball.
Natsu's POV
I was getting ready for the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball. I'm glad that my costume was simple that I didn't have to spend a lot of time on it. I couldn't wait to see Luce at the ball!
My demon costume was probably the simplest costume. I put on my sleeveless black tank top with orange outlines on the sleeves. The tank top was tight and showed my muscles and abs really well. I wore white pants with brown boots that were folded at the top. It ended just a few inches below my knees. I wore orange belt with a silver buckle. On my right arm I wore a black elbow length glove with a tattered piece sticking out. On my left hip I wore a tattered black both that was tucked into my belt. I wore a long black cape with tattered edges and a head band with black horns that were the color of fire. They even looked like fire. I wore my black mask with red fire designs. I was done. Time for the ball.
Yukino's POV
I was in my room getting dressed. My costume was very hard to put on and it takes forever to put on. I hoped Sting thought well of my costume. Me and Lucy spent so much time on both of our costumes as they were difficult.
My dress was a strapless peacock blue. The top had edges with gold outlining. The skirt was a poofy but flowy lime green. Over it were small separated layers of flowy peacock blue cloth. On top of that was a small layer of peacock green that flared out to resemble peacock feathers. It was all connected to a small clip that was nade of sapphire's and emeralds. The clip had small golden feathers flaring out. I wore a peacock blue choker. The choker had a sapphire with feathers surrounding it to make it look like a necklace. The dress had one unattached sleeve. I wore sleeve that was unattached and started between my right elbow and shoulder. The top was outlined in green and held a small pin designed to look like wings. The sleeves were really long and flowy with a peacock feather design. My short hair was as usual down with a really big headpiece that looked like multiple peacock feathers. I wore peacock feather earrings and 2 inch strappy peacock blue heels. I also wore a peacock blue mask with the edges made of peacock feathers and designed with lime green swirls.
My make up was peacock blue eyeshadow with eyeliner and mascara. I wore rose pink lipstick. I took my peacock fan. I was ready for the ball.
Sting's POV
I was getting ready in my hunter costume. I couldn't wait for Yukino to see me in it.
My costume was a full sleeved trench coat with a high collar that was fuzzy on the tips. Underneath I wore a both jacket with multiple buttons and a black belt. The trench coat had buttons along one side and the bottoms were tattered. I wore black skinny jeans with black combat boots with multiple silver buckles. One KY right hand I wore a black glove that ended an inch below my elbows and went over my coat sleeve. On my left hand I wore a small gray glove that went under my coat sleeve. I carried a long silver spear and had it strapped to my back so it wouldn't be in the way. I put on my black mask with thin silver swirls on the right eye. I was ready.
Erza's POV
I couldn't wait to see Jellal at the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball. I'm sure he would have an amazing costume. I started getting ready.
My costume was basically all armor. The top was strapless silver and had a plunging neckline that stopped a few inches before my belly button. It was made with intricate designs of silver. The bottom was a long silver skirt with long slits on the sides and a tattered hem on the backside. On top of that I wore a armor like wide belt that was layered and the right hip. I wore sleeveless metallic gloves that reached my elbow and were layered. On my right shoulder I wore a layered shoulder piece that was pretty big. I wore knee high metal boots with multiple designs. I had on a helmet like headpiece with a 'V' like shape coming down upon my forehead and wings on the sides. I carried a big shield in my left hand that I could attach to my back and a silver sword in my right hand that in could attach inside the shield. My costume left my stomach bare and was revealing but not in a slutty way, more in an elegant way.
My scarlet flowed free and my scarlet eyeshadowed eyes hid behind my dark scarlet mask with black swirls on both edges on eyes. I wore blood red lipstick to give off a scary aura. I was prepared for the ball.
Jellal's POV
I was getting ready in my police detective costume. I hope Erza liked it.
My costume was a dark blue police uniform. The shirt wasn't buttoned and I wore a black shirt underneath. I wore a loose black tie and a thin black belt. The belt was filled many many gadgets such as a gun, walkie talkie, flashlight, and handcuffs. There were many more. The walkie talkie connected to a speaker on my left shoulder. I wore knee length black boots with multiple silver buckles. I wore a navy blue mask with black stripes I was dressed for the ball.
Juvia's POV
Juvia was going to be a mermaid for the Autumn Costume Masquerade Ball. Juvia hopes Gray will love it.
Juvia's costume is a blue off the shoulder crop top with puffy sleeves. The tip on small embellishments a d the bottom has small blue fringes with a diamond shaped sapphire in the center.

I wore a brown belt that had two separate belt loops studded with small silver studs. I wore a brown plain necklace and fingerless gloves that had metal designs. I wore a cloth on my head that I tied so the front was triangular and showed a pirate skull. I wore a brown satchel and had a knife in a scabbard attached to my belt. I was ready.
Levy's POV
I couldn't wait to see Gajeel at the ball. I hope he could see me because I am way shorter than him.
I was getting ready in my Little Red Riding Hood costume. It was a red dress knee length dress. The center part if the top was white with red string in a cross like pattern. It continued to the skirt where the criss crosses stopped but it was white and a little ruffled. There was a small red bow that tied of the end of the crosses. I wore a red hood that had ruffled ends and ended midback. I tied it off with a red bow. I wore red flats and white stockings that ended above my knees. The stocking tops were tied with a red bow.
I left my blue hair down and curled with my bangs down as well. I wore red eyeshadow with eyeliner and mascara. I wore ruby red lipstick. I put on my red mask with curled edges and stripes. I was ready for the ball.
Gajeel's POV
Gihee! I was getting dressed in my Big Bad Wolf outfit. What would Shrimp think of it.
My costume was very simple. I wore a long striped shirt with long sleeves. It was striped black and white. I wore a short sleeved black hoodie over it. Exposing the sleeves and bottom half of the shirt. I wore black jeans with black ankle boots. I attached black wolf ears to my ears. I also added a black tail to my black belt. I put on my black mask with gray stripes making me ready.
Wendy's POV
My second ball ever! I was so excited! I hope I could talk to Romeo. We seemed to be the same age and he seemed really nice and cute.
I was princess so I wore a sleeveless light blue dress. The dress was plain but I was fine with it. The skirt was layered with a smaller layer on top of another which was on top of another. I wore light blue flats with small white roses and the ends. I wore a silver chain with a small blue rose pendant. I wore a small silver tiara in my hair.
My hair was down and curled. The hair in the front was pulled back and tied in the back with a big blue rose clip. For makeup I just wore eyeliner and light pink lipstick. I wore my light blue mask with roses on the ends and small rose designs. I thought I looked pretty.
Romeo's POV
I really wanted to talk to Wendy today. She was so friendly and cute. I bet we would get along well.
I was getting in my knight costume. It was a long sleeved shirt with buttons. I wore black skinny jeans with white knee legth boots with red buckles. I wore black gloves with fingerless white gloves over it. I wore a black cape that was connected in the front with a red and gold strap. I put on my red and black mask with gold edges. I was ready.
Kagura's POV
Me and my sisters were all in Mira's room. We each had gotten our own room as we were the Royal Wedding Planners. We were still supposed to the maids for the four ladies though. Sad.
My sisters and I looked stunning. We really outdid ourselves.
"You all look beautiful!" Mira exclaimed.
"You do too Mira!" Erza laughed.
We all laughed. It was always so nice that Mira thought of us before herself. She truly was selfless.
"Well I want to tell you that I know that we each have an eye on a prince." Mira smirked.
We all blushed. I thought of sweet, mysterious, cute Rogue. I shook my head brushing the thought from my mind.
"Well I know that we all want to dance with or talk to them." Mira stated. "Remember they are princes and four of them are engaged. Try not to let Lady Angel, Lady Minerva, Lady Flare, and Lady Lisanna see who you are or we will be in trouble."
We all nodded glumly, remembering the whippings we got. I shuddered at the thought. The scars had faded so it wasn't visible through our costumes. They were just barely there. Not enough that others would question us about them.
"Well what are we waiting here for!" Mira exclaimed smiling bringing us out of our misery. "Let's go and have some fun!"
"Yeah!" We all exclaimed.
We went down to the ballroom. We all took a deep breath and slowly walked in. All the noise in the ballroom quieted down. Everyone was silent. We all blushed glad for the masks. There were many other fascinating costumes present there but I guess we really outdid ourselves. We slowly walked in towards King Igneel and Queen Grandine. They were seated on a dais at the far end of the ballroom.
King Igneel was dressed as fire dragon. He had white horns, wore a red suit, tall white boots, and a cape with red dragon scale designs. He had on a red mask with dragon scale patterns. Queen Grandine was dressed as a sky dragon. She wore a long white feathery dress with white heels. She wore a feathery white cape with elbow length white gloves. Her mask was white with feathery edges and a feathery pattern. She wore pink lipstick and it also seemed that she wore white eyeshadow with eyeliner and mascara through her mask.
We all curtsied in front of them. The princes were standing on each of the King of and Queen. Four on each side. The order was Gajeel, Gray, Natsu, Laxus, King Igneel, Queen Grandine, Jellal, Sting, Rogue, Romeo.
"Good evening Your Royal Majesties and Highnesses." We all said synchronized.
I could see the shock visible on their faces. Probably because of our costumes. Rogue looked so cute with a shocked face in his I think shadow assassin costume. The way his eyebrows were raised and his mouth hanging open. I almost giggled but held myself back because it would be rude to laugh in front of the Royal Family.
"Good evening to you as well." King Igneel replied and the rest of the Royal Family shook out of there trance. "May I ask who you are. I don't recognize you."
Mira laughed lightly and I saw Laxus's eyes raise in confusion. Maybe he recognized Mira's laugh.
"Why your majesty, we are just your Royal Wedding Planners. Remember the eight sisters. Well that's us. I'm Mirajane, this is Ezra, Lucy, Yukino, Juvia, Levy, Kagura, and Wendy." Mira said pointing to each of us. We each curtsied in return as she said our names. Now I could all of the Princes in shock. I smiled to myself.
King Igneel raised his eyes. "Oh please forgive me. You have made such splendid costumes and masks that I didn't recognize you all."
"No need Your Majesty." Yukino said.
"It's a simple mistake. Anyone could have made it as we all have masks on." Wendy spoke up with a smile.
"Of course." Queen Grandine smiled at Wendy. "Well now that this confusion is cleared up let us continue the ball."
The guests all smiled and returned to what they were previously doing before we arrived. My sisters and I smiled at the King and Queen and our Princes before turning away.
"I'm so glad that Lady Minerva, Lady Angel, Lady Flare, and Lady Lisanna aren't here yet." Ezra said in relief.
We all nodded, the ball had just begun so they were all probably going to be fashionably late.
We all separated off into pairs. Mira and Erza. Lucy and Yukino. Levy and Juvia. And me and Wendy. Mira and Erza went to talk to some of the palace servants we had befriended. Lucy and Yukino noticed Loke and Aries with some of there friends so they walked over to them. That left me, Wendy, Levy, and Juvia. We decided to go to the snack table.
After an hour, the ballroom doors opened loudly. It was closed before due to all the noise inside. In walked Lady Minerva, Lady Angel, Lady Flare, and Lady Lisanna. They all looked as slutty as ever.
Lady Minerva wore an ice blue strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline. It actually wasn't plunging which suprised us. The dress had sequins on the bottom making its way to the top of the skirt. She wore a long blue cape with lace snowflakes. Her hair was in two formal buns with two strands framing her face. She wore a spiky blue crown with a blue mask with snowflake designs. She also wore 4 inch blue pumps. Her makeup consisted of deep blue eyeshadow with eyeliner and heavy mascara, blue lipstick, and heavy pink blush. Her arms were adorned with silver bracelets and she wore a huge snowflake earrings and necklace. The ice queen had arrived.
Lady Angel wore a midthigh length white dress with on thin strap on her right shoulder. The neckline of the dress was pretty low to show her breasts popping out. The dress was covered in sparkles and feathers and she wore 4 inch strappy heels. She had on a headband with a attached feathery halo. Her wings were feathery and almost touched the ground. Her makeup was white eyeshadow with eyeliner and heavy mascara, white lipstick, and blush. She wore feathery mask. Her jewelry was gold bracelets and a thick gold chain with feather earrings. The Angel approaches.
Lady Lisanna wore a long white dress covered in feathers. She wore elbow length white gloves. The dress had a halter top so it was plunging. She wore 4 inch white strappy heels. She had a crown of feathers upon her head. Her wings were similar to Angel's but it ended midthigh. Her makeup was the same as Angel's. Her mask was also similar to Angel's except the edges were sequined as well. Her jewelry was feathery earrings, a silver layered chain, and multiple gold and silver bracelets. A not so pure dove has flown in.
Lady Flare wore a tight red cocktail dress with a plunging neckline. The dress had small black and white designs sewn on. She wore 4 inch ankle boots. Her hair was in two braids tied in the back and she wore clown makeup without the big nose. Her mask was black and white. Her jewelry was dice earrings, a black necklace and bracelets. A psycho clown at the ball.
In my opinion, they all looked sort of nice but there were many things off. I saw many of the guests cringe discreetly. They were also whispering about their costumes but the four ladies were oblivious. They flashed their whitened teeth at everyone and did the same as we did when we arrived. Curtsy to the Royal Family. Then they each went to their respective prince and dragged them to the dance floor. I found the eyes of my four eldest sisters looking at them sadly. Pain visible in their eyes.
While they danced I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Rogue. I blushed.
"May I have this dance." He asked me with a smile. I nodded and he whisked me yo the dance floor. I saw my other three sisters get asked by their beloved princes.
Rogue's POV
I was dancing with Kagura while my other three brothers were dancing with her other three sisters. I saw my four older brothers dance in annoyance. I had to admit that the four 'ladies' were quite annoying.
"You look lovely Kagura." I told her with a smile. Her cheeks turned pink.
"Thank you Your Highness." She mumbled her head facing down.
"Rogue." I said.
"Huh?" She said confused looking up at me.
"Call me Rogue." I smiled again. She smiled too.
"You look like a lovely shadow assassin yourself Rogue." She replied.
My mouth open. How did she know? My parents and some of the servants didn't even know who I was. They thought I was gangster or biker but someone completely out of my world knew who I was when they barely knew me.
Kagura laughed lightly. She raised her hand and closed my mouth gently. "Don't keep your mouth open. Who knows what could fly in."
When her hand touched my skin it felt as if my skin was on fire. I blushed a little.
"How did you guess?" I asked her still in shock.
"Well," She started. "You seem like the mysterious type who tends to hang in the shadows. You were wearing all black and the sword added to the assassin to the shadow. So shadow assassin."
I smiled. "You have a keen eye for detail."
She blushed. The song ended. We pulled away from each other. I kissed her hand lightly earning me another brighter blush to her cheeks.
"We shall dance again later, after a break." I said.
She smiled. "Of course." She curtsied and walked to her sisters.
She truly was one of a kind.
A/N: Hi! What did you think of this chapter! It was probably my longest chapter yet! 6000+ words! This isn't the end of the ball. There's more! I would have added onto this but then it would have been 7000-9000+ words long. I spent 4-5 hours on this and I hope you liked it. Thank you so much for all of your reviews! It really motivates me to write!
So someone asked me to tell you guys when I update so they could know when the chapters came out and look for it. Well the easy way to do that would be to follow me or my story. If you don't want to do that then you'll just have to wait because I don't really have an update schedule. I update when I have time so it can vary. I'll try to update every 2-3 weeks though if that helps.
Will the four 'ladies' find out that the eight sisters are the girls behind the stunning costumes?
