I woke up without any loud yelling and felling a warm breath on my neck. I sat up and sigh hearing a commotion in the hall. "So much for a peaceful morning" I grab my towel and head into the washroom. I lay in the bathtub smiling feeling the warm water and bubbles in case my body "ah so relax..." suddenly Damon bursts in fallowed by his younger and older brother "and there goes the relaxing" I look over at them "you can't go barging in Dalia's room everytime you want to avoid something, not to mention barging into her bathroom when she is bathing" "I don't care, I am not trying on any suite!" "it's your eighteenth ball Damon, your gonna have to at least wear the suit" "even Florence has to wear a monkey suit" "oh shut it Alastair, Florance isn't being force to wear one" I cleared my throat and looked over at the three "do you mind arguing about this other than my bathroom?" "why? dose it bother you that you have three males in here while your in the tub naked?" "I SAID GET OUT!" they quickly leave as Damon disappeared and Baldrick shut the door. I let out a sigh and close my eyes "I never get five minutes of peace" I smile and lean my head back as there is a soft knock on my door "who is it?" I look at the door as a maid peeked her head in "s-sorry to disturb you princess but Lord Himlock would you like to try a dress on for the ball" I smile at her "can you help me out please?" "o-of course princess" "Dalila, you can call me Dalila."
I look in the mirror admiring the ball gown Lord Himlock had made for me "it's a bit loose on the top but other than that it fits fine" I stay still as the seamstress stands up and pins the top near my breasts "that's better, I don't feel like they are gonna slip out now" She nods and she gently starts sewing were she pined I smile looking at the dress in the mirror seeing the gold lining sparkling in the light. "I'm surprised it's not red and black" "I decided that there would be enough red and black as the decorations and clothes that the guest will be wearing" I look up seeing Lord Himlock smiling "I appreciate it, black really isn't my color" "well you do have a spark in you that my son's seem to enjoy" I smile and slowly spin around, "I believe it's perfect."
I make my way down the stairs as I feel a rush of air push pass me, I gasp as I feel strong hand grabs my arm stopping me from falling. "Dean careful" hearing Baldrick nicely scold this boy "not my fault she is so slow" I look up seeing a young boy a little older than Florance with a smug look on his pale white face, I stedy myself and continue down the stairs Baldrick walking past heading down the hall, I felt a breeze under my skirt. I look behind me and see the back of my skirt lifted up and someone looking under it. I yelp and push the person back pushing my skirt down seeing a tall man with black hair vampire teeth and dark blue eyes "sorry princess but I was just curious about how you move in that corset you wear" "uh pretty easy actually" he back me into a wall smirking his teeth showing more "you know if your looking for someone to clam you, I would be more than happy to" I blush feeling his finger slide down to my bare neck "from your sent, I imagine that your blood taste sweet" he pauses and looks closer "and someone already tasted you, by the looks of it, it was a good eight months ago" I feel my heart racing as he gets closer, I shut my eyes feeling his breath against my neck. "I don't believe you, I would love to explain to your parents why you made the princess pass out from blood loss" I shoot my eyes open seeing Damon behind this man with his arms crossed. "Oh come on Damon, you got a taste" he scoffs and pulls me to his side "that was eight months ago, now let's get these dance lessons over with so I don't stab myself with a sliver knife."
I stand in between Damon and Baldrick wait for the dance lessons for the younger ones to start. "Who was that..." "a cousin of ours, the vampire of bullshit" "he is the vampire of mischief" I look at Baldrick "sorry to keep you older ones waiting but let us officially began" Lord Himlock and a few other adults came in "our aunt's and uncles on our fathers and mother's side, and a few friends of the family" I nod and look at the little ones running around. "Now Dean, Florance, Rosa, Jane, Halley and Andrew come here please" I watch Florance and a few others go down to Lord Himlock "now Florance and Rosa, Dean and Halley, then Andrew and Jean" Baldrick leans down and whispers to me "Dad is hoping to have Florance and Rosa gets married when they are old enough" "aren't they cousins?" "well not exactly Rosa is a friend of the family that our mothers sister took in after Rosa's family got killed by a mob" "ah Dalila, Baldrick perfect" I look at Lord Himlock then at Baldrick then walk to Lord Himlock "since you are highly experienced in dancing will you please show.." I look at him as Baldrick holds out his hand, I walk over to the side and take my shoes off then walk back over and take Baldricks hand and place my other hand on his shoulder as he places one hand on my waist and takes my hand and hold it up. "I'm not touching a girl's waist!" "Dean you are going to do this" "but mom" "Do it dean!" I look over as dean takes Halley's waist. "Now music please" I let Baldrick lead as we glid across the room and spin in a circle while being light on our feet. "Yes very good" "ow you stepped on my foot!" I stop then I head over to Dean and Halley "now Halley is it?" "y-yes ma'am" I smile and help them adjust their stance "it might seem uncomfortable at first but you'll both get use to it, now Halley let Dean lead ok?" she nods and looks at her feet "ah don't look at your feet dear" I tilt her head up and pul her shoulders back. "She stepped in my foot again!" I look at Dean and sigh "ok, Halley lift your skirt a little and let me see your feet.
I feel a light pressure ony eye lid and pulling on my head. "There, open" I open my eyes and look in the mirror and smile seeing light blue eyeshadow with darkblue glitter eyeshadow on the sides, black eyeliner then pink blush and light red lip stick. I look at my hair in a fancy braided bun "ready to get dressed?" I nod and slip out of my robe as the maids help me in my one peice corset then step into the ball gown Lord Himlock made for me. I look in the mirror and see the strapless sweetheart neckline dark blue dress with golden lining and a glittery light blue covering. I walk over to the box on my dresser and open it to revel my princess crown witch was a sliver metal with sapphires and pink pearls. "How pretty" I take it out gently and walk over the my vanity and gently whipe of one the jewels and place it on my head. I smile as one of the maids helps me secure it on my head. There was a knock on my door "Princess are you ready?" I look in the mirror again and sigh deeply then step into my shoes.
