*Elektra's P.O.V.*
After searching through piles and piles of clothes that Lily managed to gather from a bunch of of her friends closets, we found the perfect dress for me. It was the perfect shade of blue for my eyes and the black lace around it gave it that extra detail. As soon as Alice dragged it out from underneath the mountain of clothes that came from who knows where, I knew it was the perfect one for tonight.
After multiple hours of getting ready, all three of us where ready to go.
Alice had on a nice silky white dress that had a black bow around her waist, and Lily had on a green dress that was very beautiful and had sparkles skattered all around its fabric.
The girls insisted that I leave my hear down and straightned it. After it was finished, it was so long it almost touched the back of my thighs when I walked. I didn't usually wear it down, because it always get in my way, but I decided that for tonight I could deal with it.
All three of us managed to make it to the doors to the Great Hall without getting seen by anyone. When we got there, we weren't exactly sure how we should enter.
"I think we should all walk in together!" Alice said, although it sounded more like a demand and Lily and I didn't really have anything better to suggest, so we just linked arms, took a deep breath and took our first steps into the Great Hall.
Time almost seemed to stop, and everyone looked at us at the same time. Some of the guys jaws actually dropped and their dates had to slap their arms so the would pay attention to them. Lily was instantly directed toward Severus, who's eyes were wide in shock. Alice soon drifted off to Frank Longbottom and he put his arm around her as if to claim her as his.
At this moment, I was left alone and I couldn't find Regulas, so I setteled for the Marauders.
When I reached their group, Sirius instantly said-
"Well look who decided to get sexy!" His grin wide on his face. I rolled my eyes and James chuckled and hit Sirius' chest. Sirius always said things like that to me when I got dressed up, so I was used to it by now.
"Do I really look that good?" I was really unsure about my hair so I said, "Maybe I should go put up my hair so its out of my way..."
"NO!" Remus shouted. I hadn't noticed yet, but he was staring at me... It was kinda weird really, "You should leave it down more..." He trailed off and almost absontly reached out to touch the long locks of brown hair spilling over my shoulders. He then shook his head violently and took a step away from me. Warm hands found my waist and soft lips touched my cheek.
"You look very hot tonight." Regulas' deep voice filled my ears and clouded over my senses. I was hoping for something more meaningful, like beautiful or pretty. I would have even settled for cute, but 'hot' was his choice of words...
****************Half an Hour Later...******************
After dancing with Regulas many, many times, I just wanted to sit down for a minute.
"Where are you going?" Regulas asked when I turned towards some chairs at the far side of the room.
"Sitting down?" I said, though it sounded more like a question.
"But I want to dance and show you off to all my friends!" He whined. My feet throbbed painfully inside my navy blue flats and I really just wanted to sit.
" Please Regulas!" I cried, "I just want to rest for moment! And you make me sound like a new car instead of an actual person." I rolled my eyes and took a few steps towards the chairs.
A warm hand circles around my wrist and I feel hot breath on the back of my neck as Regulas says, "Do not roll your eyes at me."
I felt the blood leave my face and my breathing grew shallow. If he thought he was going to scare me into DANCING with him, then he was crazy.
I jerked my wrist from his hand and turned to face him.
"Don't tell me what to do!"
He looked around to see if anyone was watching and plastered a fake grin on his face.
"Of Coarse. Why don't we just go to the hall and talk about this?" He asked, his voice tainted with a fake sweetness.
Before I could decline, he laced his fingers through mine and dragged me towards the hall. I knew this was a bad idea. I really shouldn't leave with him right now. But I needed to show him that he can't scare me. That he shouldn't even need to scare and since we were a couple, he should to treat me with respect.
He pulled me out into the hall and over to a dark, unpopulated area. Every nerve in my body screamed this was bad. Real bad.
He glanced around, double checking for people. Suddenly, my back was against the wall, our noses almost touching.
"Your so pretty, Ellie." He wispered, takeing a deep breath in and closes his eyes. I took note of the way he was positioned. His hands were by either side of my head holding each of my wrists and he was so close to me, when I breathed my chest brushed his.
"Ellie..." He smiled and opened his eyes, "you do things to me no ones done before..." He slammed his mouth into mine and it took everything I had to keep from throwing up in his face... yumm?
"Regulas, stop. Please." I said as loud as I could when I could barely breath.
His hands moved to my waist and he laughed. This was a side of him I'd never seen. Was this what he was like to other people?
I took advantage of his laughter slammed my knee into his stomach. He grunted but didn't release me. He quickly got over his pain and grinned. He let go of one of my hands so he could point at me and say, "That wasn't very nice."
He bent down to kiss me again and as soon as he did, I chomped down on his bottom lip. The metalic taste and scent of blood filled my senses.
I used my free hand to push him away, and as soon as I was released I sprinted towards the dance.
I burst through the doors, getting a few strange looks from nearby people. I quickly spotted Lily and jogged over to her.
"Lils," I said, out of air from my struggle, "I'm leaving now."
"Ok, just don't-" she turned to look at me and her eyes widened.
"Ellie, is that BLOOD on your lip?!" She gasped.
"It's not mine, I swear!" I explained, useing my arm to wipe it away.
"And thats supposed to make me feel better HOW?" She was close to full-on freak out mode now.
"Look Lily, I'll... I'll be back later!" I took a couple steps backwards and added, "I'm sorry!" Before turning around and jogging back towards the door.
I took one final look around the room before I left. I happened to catch Remus's eyes before running out the door.
It only took me one glance around the dark hallway to tell Regulas wasn't in the hall way anymore.
I ran again.
