Chapter 7
After toweling myself off, I stared at myself in the mirror while still in my bathrobe. The red lines in my eyes are barely visible now, the make up would be able to cover it later. Walking back to my bed, I saw a folded paper by my door, it was slid under the door, I read it quickly.
R.
Can't wait for tonight. Sorry about what happened with your mom though. I'll look for you under the stars tonight.
P.S. I didn't pick your gown and mask so we'll be two strangers in the dance floor.
A.
Good, it would be a fair game tonight. After brushing my hair and worrying about tonight, someone knocked on my door again. Lissa. She went in with a middle aged moroi in tow.
"Hey Rose, this is Tess, she'll be preparing us for tonight. She'll do my hair first then you make up, then my make up then your hair. Fair enough? Okay." She nodded to herself.
After about three hours, my butt started to get numb and I kept on dozing of in my chair while Tess hurriedly moved back and forth between Lissa and me.
I suppose it was later than I figured. When Tess gave me heads up to stand, I glance at my alarm clock to realize that it was already 6:30 in the evening and the party was starting in an hour. When I finally opened my clothing bag, I gasped.
I hurriedly but gently slipped into my gown. Lissa squealed beside me bouncing.
"Rose, this dress is definitely made for you!"
I had to agree with that. I look stunning, while assessing my self in my full length mirror. The dress was bloody red inside topped with black lacy nettings giving the dress a dark and gothic but smokey hot look to who ever wears it. It was a tube which brought me down a bit because it concealed my cleavage but it showed my broad but sexy and tanned upper arms to my neck. It hugged my upper curves, making my chest puff out a little and showing my slim waistline but the weight of the dress dropped from the upper thigh. It was a shame to waste my make up with the mask. Tess gave my face a glowing effect, tinting a little pinking red hue in my cheeks and my lips, not exaggerating much and putting the right amount of eyeliner to emphasize my eyes which would be one of the clues to reveal me tonight with little glitters in beside my eyes. My hair looked equally perfect; it had light curls in the lower part.
I turned around to hug Lissa but was also stunned by my angelic bestfriend.
She was dressed in a sleeveless black dress tinted with blue when lights hit it. It reached puffing only below her knees like an angel prima ballerina. She was wearing a pair of elbow length black net gloves and her hair was pulled up on top, messy but sexy. Her makeup was almost identical to mine, light and emphasizing her eyes. Christian's gonna fall over in shock when he sees he's girlfriend, wow, it like to take a picture of that.
"Woah". Was all I was able to said.
We stared at each other for a few more seconds before bursting out into a giggles and shrieks.
"I…told..you..Rose." Lissa said between giggles," This…is gonna…be a….night to remember!"
"Wohhoo! We're gonna burn the place down Liss!" I shrieked.
We left my room a little over 8, making a dramatic entrance as much as possible.
When we entered the gym doors, I felt my jaw drop. WOW.
I counted almost 10 chandeliers with a candle-like light. There were moving lights of white from somewhere and streamers are moving from the ceiling. Mimes were serving the guests instead of usual waiters, but all in all, the room was dark, giving out the mysterious effect and small tables were set up in the sides with candles. The guests were another thing; they were a wave of people in masks, like a masquerade festival. The boys were all in tuxes that looked like were from that movie we were assigned to see in Literature, Pride and Prejudice, while the ladies wore long and balloon dresses in different colors but most were black and white.
The guardians stood by the walls as always, they seem relax but Dhampirs could tell that they are more sensitive, eyes darting to places to check for anything out of place. I saw my mother by the elevated platform at front with other head guardians, talking to their earpieces checking statuses outside the gym, good thing too, she'll be busy all night long.
I did not spot Dimitri's familiar face in the rows of guardians,Hmm..he must be on guard outside,Knowing he can take anyone who enters within proximity.
"C'mon." Lissa said grabbing my hand steering me to a large table filled with pastries and cakes in odd shapes and colors but appetizing all the same.
When we got to the table, I did not let go of my bestfriends hand, afraid that we might get separated through the crowds, but I quickly scanned around to see if I recognize anyone. Like Adrian.
After minutes of spotting no one, I slumped and reached for the nearest pastry delight and gobbled it, Lissa raised an eyebrow.
"Seems like somethings-"
"Don't.," I interrupted her."He may be somewhere out here hooking up with a girl he found by the balcony while he was smoking." This sucks, I actually thought it would be fun.
I got pulled away from my thoughts when I saw a tall moroi boy approaching the table, then my hopes crumpled when I saw he was wearing a shiny black mask exposing nothing but a set of blue eyes, I should've known. He could smell Lissa within 5 mile radius, Note to self, when in fight with Christian, punch his nose hard first. That would give me more time with Lissa.
"Hey angel, mind to be my she-devil tonight?" Christian said while approaching Lissa handing her a white rose. Even with the mask, it was obvious that he was waggling his eyebrows.
Lissa slapped him on the arm before laughing and hugging him tight.
"Wow, you really are an angelic princes. I was dazed for a whole minute after seeing you before coming up." He said after letting go and kissing her lightly on the lips.
Christian had a dark prince charming tux complete with snow white angels wings on his back. Well it fit perfect for the outfit.
"My my, I should've known you would be dashing tonight, I would've brought my baseball bat to beat any girl who would pounce on you tonight." Lissa replied playfully.
I snorted at that. Jeez, can it get cheesier?
"Oh Liss, you brought evil step besty with you?!" I had to whack him hard on the head with that.
"Shut it or you're gonna end up using those wings to fly down after I kill you." I threatened.
"Rose!" Lissa warned.
"What?" I countered.
"C'mon, the room is screaming FUN FUN FUN Night while your slumming ."
"Sorry," I said after a while.
She watched me for a minute before putting her hand on my back, "He'll come you know."
Ha. I wish. " Yeah right…Uhmm, you go ahead with you BurntChicken over there, I'm gonna go have find a substitute for Adrian." I said in my most mischievous voice.
She pouted her lips for a while watching me closely before clearly sighing and decided to let me go.
"Meet you tomorrow!" I called back as I was detaching from them and into the crowd dancing to a pop beat music.
Coming out from the bathroom where I freshened up was when I was pulled by someone from the party to a dark corner room where the lights did not reach.
