The dress was Beautiful with a full skirt, that went down to the floor. It was strapless and sleeveless, it was dark blue with sapphires and diamonds embroidered into the bodice. To compleat the look a pair of black gloves that go up past my elbow and a pair of black slippers.
"I get to wear this?"
"Yes of corse, Liana. Now if you would hurry up and get changed the ball will start soon," said Sebastian in a board voice.
The master was giving a ball, not only that but he was letting all of us servants go as guests, and providing cloths for us if we need them. The dress was heavy but it was a good kind of weight, the shoes fit perfectly and the gloves contrasted perfectly with my pail skin. My hair was the problem, I wasn't sure what to do with it. For work I often put it in a messy bun but that didn't seam good for a ball. In the end I just left it down and it seamed to work with the dress. I left my room and started to head for the ballroom.
"Liana, wait!" Sarah-May calls after me.
I look back and see her waring a gorgeous purple dress. Like mind it had a full skirt but hers was more flowy. Her dress had straps that were off the shoulder and white gloves that cut off at her wrists. The dress was relatively plain except for a belt of amethysts, put so closely together that they almost blind me with how concentrated the sparkles were. She fast walks up to me and we walk together to the ball room. We aren't late but we aren't the first people there. All of the servants are there but if you didn't know they were employed at the mention you wouldn't know from looking at them that they were servants. I stood in the background of the crowd for a few minutes with Sarah-May as more and more people arrived. The musicians started to play and every one looked up to the main staircase. Ciel stood at the top wearing royal blue with his betrothed, Lady Elizabeth, who was wearing a delicate lacy pink gown. They started down the steps and Sarah squeezed my hand so tightly I looked over at her to see what was wrong. She had her eyes glued on the couple and a sad look filled her eyes. The dancing started and Sarah-May and I stood back by a table that held food and wine. Several nobles came over to us hoping for a dance, Sarah snapped up the opportunities but I had to decline each time because I didn't know how to dance. After a while a strange thing happened, I started to forget about my past and actually convinced myself that I belonged here.
"Out of all the beautiful women in the room, you, by far are most gorgeous."
I started at the noise and looked up. A tall blond man wearing all white stood in front of me.
"Your dress sparkles like the stars and your skin shines agains your black hair, like the moon in the night sky! Surely your beauty is to great for earth, you are not from here but from a place that laughs at the crudeness of humanity, the moon itself! Surely you are the ruler, the princess of the night. Oh, my lunar princess please will you give me this one dance, so that I may die, when that time may come, with my life completed!" The man said making a big show of kissing my hand.
"Oh, no sir. You are mistaken," I said baking away, trying to loose myself in the crowd.
"But surly not! When I saw you I was bewitched by your glory. Please, my princess, a dance?"
"No sir. I do apologies but I must decline I-" I tripped over my dress and put out a hand to break my fall.
Someone grabbed my hand, spun me around, placed a hand on my waist and spun me easily into the dance.
"How many times am I going to have to save you?" Sebastian said amused.
"I never asked you to save me," I reply almost tripping over my long dress.
He adjusted his grip on me for another spin in the dance, I was beginning to feel dizzy, and gave me a sly smile. I started to relax when the song ended. I made to pull away but Sebastian held me in an iron grip.
"He's still there," Sebastian said at my angry look.
I turned to see but right at that moment a new dance began. I sighed and looked over Sebastian's shoulder to try to locate Sarah-May. I couldn't see her at first but then purple sparkles caught my eye. There she was, dancing with a man wearing royal blue. Royal blue!? I looked a gain and sure enough she was dancing with Ciel, lady Elizabeth nowhere in sight. Then the dance make me turn so that I was no longer facing them.
"You look beautiful," said Sebastian.
I whipped my head around and stared at him in surprise.
"Excuse me?" I asked. At that moment glass shattered and rained down on us. Screens rang out as the music was broken off with a screech.
"Bassy!" The voice rang out and I felt myself being torn away from Sebastian and pushed roughly off to the side. I stumbled and fell backwards into the table from before. It tipped and spilled its contence all over me, running my dress. I felt a small jab of pain on my cheek and realized that a knife had cut me. A bit of leftover cake squished as I supported my self with on hand.
"Oh, Bassy, why? Why were you dancing with that girl and not me!?"
"Grell let go," Sebastian's cool voice cut through the silence of the main hall.
I looked up and saw Sebastian standing in the middle of a clearing of people with a man wearing a red jacket, dress cloths and long red hair kneeling in front of his hugging Sebastian's waist.
"But, Bassy, Why!?"
Sebastian pried the man away from him and cam over to me. He helped me up but when I tried to put weight on my left foot my ankle gave out and I almost fell, but Sebastian picked me up and carried me off in the direction of my room.
"Bassy, wait!" The man called after us.
~~~ hi! It's finally done and I think I got over my artist's block! I hope to have more stuff up soon. See you then!
