2 Days Later...
Sophie stood in her room as her mother picked out a dress. She pulled out one after one and every time Sophie shook her head no. There were only a few dresses left in the wardrobe.
"Sophie you need to choose a dress. The party starts in an hour. What about this one?" Alina asked holding up a purple dress with a fabric design to resemble flames.
"If I say yes will you leave me alone?" Sophie asked tilting her head, admiring the color.
"I will leave you be," Alina said lifting the dress higher.
"Fine, I'll wear it," Sophie said grabbing the dress.
"Finally. Come on out when you're done." Sophie watched as her mother left the room and struggled to put on the dress. As she tightened the back, she heard a knock on the door. She tied the back, and left her room. She saw her mother talking to Nathan in the main hall. As she closed her door and Nathan looked up. He smiled at her and laughed.
"Never thought I see you in a dress that fancy," Nathan said walking over to Sophie.
"Me neither," Sophie replied laughing slightly, "You made it just in time." Sophie led Nathan out to the dining room where a few of her friends were talking. They looked up as she walked in and stared at Nathan. He waved slightly and sat down at the table. "Hi. Thanks for coming," Sophie said motioning for her friends to sit. They all sat down and waited as Sophie sat down next to Nathan. They were all strangely silent.
"Are we missing anyone?" Alina asked walking into the room.
"No." Sophie said her face frowning a little.
"Oh... okay then! Let me get the cake." Alina smiled and left to the kitchen. She returned in the next few minutes carrying a small cake with light purple frosting, almost lilac. The smell of freshly baked cake wafted throughout the room. Everyone smiled as she set the cake down in front of Sophie. Alina waved her hand and sixteen candles appeared on the cake, already lit. "Go ahead. Blow them out," Alina said. Sophie smiled and leaned forward. As she prepared to blow out the candles the front door flew open. In the doorway stood Carlos. Sophie grimaced and stood up. Nathan stood up with her and stepped around the table to confront Carlos.
"What are you doing here?!" Nathan said gripping the tablecloth to keep himself from attacking Carlos.
"I just came by to say happy birthday and maybe enjoy some time here," Carlos said raising his hands.
"You know she doesn't want you here."
"Well, I'll stay anyway. I just want to talk to her."
"She doesn't want to talk to you. You.. You cheating bastard!" Nathan yelled lunging at Carlos. They fell on the floor, wrestling. Nathan punched Carlos repeatedly, not allowing him to block.
"Nathan! Stop it!" Sophie yelled running and pulling Nathan off of Carlos. Nathan stood up and looked at him. His face was bloody and his nose was crooked, now broken. He looked at Sophie and saw the horror on her face. Nathan realized what he had done. He left her grasp and ran out of the house, crying at what he had done. As his name was called out by Sophie, he kept running. Running till he was able to hide. He lifted off into the sky and flew to his place in the woods.
