The day before the ball, we went to the palace. It was really late. So I went to bed. The brothers were with me.

"Can we see the gown a day early?"

"Nope. You have to wait until tomorrow."

I then fell asleep. The next morning, Jane woke me up.

"Come on sleepyhead. I have to get you ready for the ball."

"Jane! It's only 6am."

"I know. But you have to be in the throne room at 2pm."

I sighed and got out of bed.

"Why that early?"

"They want to introduce you to the other covens before the ball."

"You're hiding something from me."

"What? No I'm not."

"All right. I'll find out sooner or later."

Jane giggled. She continued to get me ready. I was ready at 1:45pm. Demetri escorted me to the throne room. The three brothers stood up.

"Wow."

I giggled. All of a sudden, Heidi was blasted through the doors.

"Heidi!"

I ran down to her.

"Demetri, find the person who did this. Alec, find Carlisle!" Caius said.

"Yes master."

Demetri ran out the doors Heidi was blasted through. He ran back in.

"Masters, it's Athenadora and Sulpicia!"

I ran out. I used one of my powers and killed them both. I then walked back in.

"How do you feel, Heidi?" Dad asked.

"A bit sore. But I'll be fine."

Aro hugged me.

"Are you all right, mi amore?"

"I'm fine."

Hermione came in from the other doors. Demetri was speechless.

"Demetri? Are you all right?"

"I…I mean you… I mean, wow."

Hermione giggled.

"I didn't know vampires stuttered."

"Don't worry, Hermione. The brothers already told me they will not let me leave this palace with this gown on."

Caius ran down.

"You got that right. You're too sexy."

I giggled.

"Masters, the covens have arrived." Felix said.

"Bring them in."

"Yes master."

The covens came in.

"I see there are a few additions to some of the covens. For those of you who do not know, this is my and my brothers' mate, Trixie Cullen." Aro said.

"Carlisle, how can you accept this? They're monsters." A woman said.

"Enough! You will hold your tongue, Lucinda! I support them 100%."

"Then you're a fool."

"Enough! Today is not the day for this! If you continue, Lucinda, you will be forced to leave." Caius growled.

She stood in a corner. I leaned my head on Marcus' shoulder. He stroked my cheek. At 6pm, the ball started. Marcus pulled me up to dance. My head was on his shoulder.

"Enjoying yourself, mi amore?"

I nodded.

"I'm having the time of my life."

"Now I know why you wouldn't show us your gown. We would have never allowed you to leave your room with it on. Needless to say, the three of us would have never made it to the ball."

I giggled.
