Chapter 1
The party was winding to a close; there were only a few more songs to be played. I looked at my "friends" before deciding to head inside and prepare to drive my, more than likely, drunken friends home. I turned, only to stare in shock as one of the most eligible males at the entire party was standing in front of me, his hand extended towards me. "I couldn't help but notice, that you've spent the entire party hiding away, so to speak. Anyway, I wanted to know if you'd like to dance with me, for a couple of songs" I could only nod my head in response, still shocked that someone was speaking to me.
I dance for only two songs before pulling away and with an apologetic smile, left. I went to the restroom and quickly changed out of my gown; I would put it in the trunk of the car once I got it. I went and retrieved the car from the valet parking and had brought it around just as most of my drunken "friends" came stumbling out. The last of my "friends" walked out completely sober, and he simply looked at his friends with a roll of his eyes. He then turned to me and said "Thanks for getting the car for us, but I'll be driving them home." He turned and climbed into the driver's seat and, before I had a chance to climb in, sped off leaving me in his wake.
I sighed and shook my head before grabbing the bag he'd dropped at my feet, unaware that the man I had danced with (along with his friends) were watching form the top of the marble stairs. I started down the long driveway heading out toward the road with the intention of heading "home". 'I'm honestly not surprised that he left me here,' I thought with a glum sigh, 'he always does that just because he hates me. But what I don't understand is why.' Once I reached the street I turned toward town walking toward my "home".
As I walked out of the gates and toward town, I was unaware that the mysterious man I had danced with stood at the doors of the mansion bidding farewell to all the exiting guests; he was throwing the "party". He had noticed that I had not once spoken while we danced and when I left he wanted to see I who had come to the party with. But, he got there just in time to see my "friend" diss me and speed off he watched it in shock before thinking: why does she just take that I don't understand. Also, why does she seem so familiar? He sighed and as he watched me leave, he made a solemn vow to find out more about me, where I live, and bring me into his "family".
