I am hoping for a sign
Something brings me right here
Not in a drink, not in a drift
Please see me through metaphors in blue
I'm holding on for dear life
Something brings me right here
I am dreaming, I'm in a drift
Please see me through metaphors in blue
I'm holding on for dear life
Spirit,
Please don't abandon me

I waited at the side of the road which was really strange, most of our customers usually pick me up or meet at a club never by the roadside.
I think back to what happened earlier today
"This is going to be our new normal," he said as he wore his pants.
All I could do was stare at the ceiling and wish myself dead.
I get up from the bed and walk into his bathroom. Looking at myself in the mirror, I see the marks on my neck and in between my thighs. I walk back into the bedroom. He is seated in his armchair with a cigarette in his hand facing the window
"How will I cover the markings"
"You're smart, you'll figure out what to do"
I walk back to my room and get ready for another night of terror.
How do I end what I started?
I could run away right now if I wanted to but I don't know why I won't.
I don't understand all that has happened to me,
I feel as though something is wrong somewhere,
Where can I get help from,
If only I could just see a sign or direction.
As I drift into my thoughts, a black SUV park's beside me and a man in a suit and black shades gets out of the car,
"you are the service?"
"yes, that's me"
"Please get into the car, I'll take you to our client. "
I nodded as I was ushered into the SUV.
The drive is about thirty minutes long. I wonder who this anonymous customer is that lives so far away.
We approach a wide gate with a mansion on the other side.
I gape at the beauty of the house, who could this be.
"Please exit the vehicle Miss"
I didn't realise that we had stopped till the man in the black spoke.
I exit the vehicle and walk to what seems to be the front door. I push it open, such beautiful interior decor, whoever lives here has a good taste in decorations.
"Hello, you must be the lady we are expecting"
I am snapped out of my trance by a woman who looks to be in her early forties.
"Yes, my name is Renesmee, but please call me Esme"
I don't know if I was supposed to say my name but, whatever.
"I am going to take you to your room, please follow me"
My room? Why do I have a room,
"Ummm, why do I have a room, I'm supposed to meet with my customer"
"oh, so you don't know, well you are attending a ball with Mr Harley tonight, a masquerade ball. So your hairstylist And makeup artist will meet you in the room shortly"
What the hell is going on here
Well, let's see how this goes.
"Sorry, excuse what's your name by the way," I ask the woman taking me to my room.
"oh pardon my manners, my name is Jane, I take care of the household. "
"Nice to meet you, Jane"
We go up the stairs, past many doors before we get to the one that Jane refers to as my room.
"As I said earlier, the stylist and the makeup artist would arrive shortly"
"what about Mr Harley?" I ask out of curiosity
"Don't worry Esme, you'll see him when it's time to leave for the ball" with that she lives.
I open the door to my room, it's a white fortress. It's so beautiful, white is officially my favourite colour. I explore my room, finding a bathroom and a walk-in closet with so many dresses.
I decide to take a bath since I'll be having my makeup done.
While I dry off, I hear a knock on the door
"Yes, I'm coming"
I rush to the door to find a guy with a bag in his arms
"I'll be doing your hair, my name is Joe. So please how would you like your hair"
I approach the dressing mirror, and stare at my reflection, the markings on my neck are evident but Joe seems not to notice.
" Your hair would look beautiful above your shoulders"
I guess I'd have to cover the markings with makeup then
After he is finished, I look at it in the mirror, I can't really see the back but I'm sure it's good because he really framed my face
After he leaves another guy walks in, whom I assume is the makeup artist.
With no questions asked she covered up all my markings. When she was done with the makeup and she had gone, I walked into the closet to pick out a dress.
While I was searching, I heard a knock in my door. I'm not expecting anyone else.
I opened the door but no one was there, but a box was losing on the floor and then was a card on it.
Wear this
I placed the box on the bed and took off the lid.
What seemed to be a red mask and a red satin dress was in the box. I took out the dress and tried it on, it was a perfect fit.
It was so beautiful, with the laced back and the train.
I wore my mask, took my purse and headed downstairs. There was a gentleman in a tux at the bottom of the stairs. He looked so familiar but he was wearing his mask, so I'd guess he was Mr Harley.
"Good evening miss, you look stunning. "
He sounds so familiar.
"And you don't look too bad yourself "
"I feel like we have met before"
"Strange but so do I"
And the night begins...

It's a little short and I'm sorry, I'll try to update a chapter every day
