I hate being the only girl in my household who hates going to balls and hates being at parties and hates pretty much almost everything. I sit in my room reading Divergent a book my grandmother gave me in 2018 and it's now 2036 and I'll be 18 next month. I live with my 2 siblings Marcus who is younger and he is 12 and then my older sister who is 19 and she is a little bitch who gets her way all of the time. I am so busy reading that I forget about the time and there's a knock on the door. The door opens and in comes my mother Samantha Grayson Aderson with a red face.
"Get your ass up right now little bitch! Put on a dress or an outfit and get down here or we'll leave you here!" she yells at me and slams the door shut on her way out. I lay my book down on the bureau and pick the only nice dress or outfit I have which is a red flowy dress with shiny sparkles all over it. After I get dressed I put my hair up in a ponytail and then I run downstairs and put my flats on before going outside and just making it into the limo and my siblings are quite and my father is giving me a sad look because he knows how harsh my mother can be all of the time. An hour later we arrive at a huge castle with at least 4 floors and a basement and dad parks the limo for us to get out and once we do my mom and sister which her name is Williamantha which was her own creation that's stupid cause my name is Willow and I hate my name since it sounds like Hollow. I make it to the top of the stairs and my mother gives me a look to shut my trap which is my mouth really and stay silent like I do every special gathering that we go to. We make it up the glittering silver staircase and come to a grand ballroom with a huge chandelier on the ceiling and hundreds of people are milling about and are chattering. I sit down on the chair farthest from my sister and closest to my father cause he's the only one left who actually loves me more than the others do. He never ever yells at me only the others when they try and pull something on me and try to get me into trouble. As I sit there I stare at the people who are dancing to the waltz and others are milling about the room. My eyes connect with a boy with black slicked back hair and piercing blue eyes and tanned skin. He blinks at me and I notice his eyes turn brown and I get confused. Why would his eyes change color? Is he one of those rare shape-shifters? I am disturbed from my thoughts when I hear my mother saying my name.
"Sweetie, this is Mrs Alician and her husband Mr Alician and this is their son Xavier Alician Robert Anderson Jr." she says and I smile at them but the boy has his eyes on me still.
My sister tries to flirt with him "Hey, wanna dance with me?" she asks him
"Nope" he shakes his head
His mother perks up "But then who will you dance with?"
He nods and comes over to me and pulls me up and I land gracefully and carefully on my flats. My mother shakes her head and grabs his hand but he hits it away. He stares at me and I swallow a lump in my throat.
"Dance with me?" he asks me
"Um...I'm not sure it's a good idea cause my...."I trail off cause this is my only chance of freedom.
I nod and we head out to the dancefloor. The next song is slow so we just float around.
"Why are your parents so mean and your sister so obsessive but what's the point?" he scrunches his eyebrows
"I've always been the little sister who is hated except my father who is the only one left in my household who loves me at all" I say and lean my head on his chest.
He smiles "Let's run away together"
I look up at him surprised "Why would you want to run away from here?"
He shrugs "We both have that in common since our family hates us so let's take off"
I think about it "Let's do it then but now?"
He nods and I agree
We make our way through the crowd and then all of a sudden my mother and his father and his mother surround us.
"Where did you think you were going?" his father ask but his mother is silent
"Don't even move" my mother says to me but we take off fast and soon enough we are In a closet in a hallway and he is close to me and we listen to the footsteps leave the hallway and he flips on the light and locks the door. After almost an hour we exit the closet and find the ballroom empty and a monitor man at the door spots us. He comes over and speaks.
"You guys were so lost in lust you forgot that the ballroom was over and damn man you got some flavor" his eyes. take over my length and Xavier gets angry so fast.
"Man? You had better watch yourself with that or I'll take your eyes out so you'll regret even looking at her once. So beat it you asshole" and the man just stands there and all of a sudden.
"Haha your a catch little boy. I work for a huge company and I am the queens suitor along with a bodyguard so who's the asshole now. Leave or I'll call for the police guards to come and get you to return you to your family" and with that we leave thru the front door and come into the main courtyard and we run free and finally we come to stop at a beautiful lake.
Xavier turns to me "I can shift"
I nod "I kind of saw.yoir eyes go from blue to brown earlier today in the ballroom"
He smiles "Your the only one human who knows what I really am"
With that he shifts and he shifts into a huge dragon that's blue with feathers and not scales. I come closer and reach out to pet him and he rubs his large head on my palm and then we hear noise in the bushes. He shows his pointed tail that has spikes on it and a small figure turns into a small little girl. She runs over to us and hides behind me but then turns into a dragon that's light blue and hides behind Xavier. The bushes move again and a large wolf with wings appears and he growls at us.
"He killed my mom and dad and brother and sister" the little girl cries out
The wolf then flies off into the west and I turn. to the little girl "You can stay with us but what's your name?"
She shifts to little girl human and hugs me and looks up at .e with her pretty green eyes "My name is Victoria Law" she says
"My name is___" she cuts me off
"You'll be my new mom and dad" and I pick her up and she clings to me and I climb on top of Xavier and he takes off into the sunset.
