In Angelina's Room
I sit in my room on my bed looking at the invitation. I really want to open it, but before I could open the envelope someone was knocking on my door. I quickly hide the invitation before my sisters burst on the door and one of them; Cynthia. Says to me. "Angelina, mother said that you have to come with us to go dress shopping. As she wants you to be useful for once and get a man then get married, you know the rest. " I sigh and tell them that I'll be out in a minute, they groan and leave my room with Cynthia closing the door behind her being the last one out. After they left and made sure they can't get in, I got the invitation out and opened it finally. Inside the invitation was the invite of course and a ticket, I looked at the invite and read it to myself.
"Calling all fellow demons or devils!
You are invited to the new year's masquerade party, please make sure to stick to the color code and not wear anything extreme or too colorful. Bright colors are not allowed, neither is the color white that is the forbidden color as it is of their wings. Males you may wear a white undershirt if necessary, but dark colors are preferred. DO NOT wear anything extremely revealing, or you will be kicked out. Keep your ticket with you as at the end there will be a drawing and whoever wins will get to meet the king and ask him anything he is willing to answer.
See you at the party at 10 pm on New Year's Eve."
After reading the invite an idea popped up in my head, I quickly put the invite in my jacket pocket and went to meet up with my sisters. When I finally found them, they were with mother talking. As I approached mother looked at me and clicked her tongue and spoke. "About time, you made your poor sisters and I wait." I bow my head in apology knowing that words won't get me anywhere, I am perfectly fine with not talking. If I could I would go mute, just another problem with me that will not really change anything about me. I heard Cynthia tsk clearly annoyed, she is and will always be mother's pet. Samatha and Brittney sniggered to each other about something they said, that probably involved me.
"Liam and Henry will be going with you ladies... And you Angelina. Girls feel free to spend however much you all wish. Now go and stay safe. " 'By girls' I already knew that she just meant her three favorite daughters. Mentally rolling my eyes at some snarky comment by the three hippos I just follow Liam and Henry. Liam had been my father's friend for many years, and yet he doesn't look a day over his mid 20's with his toned build, dirty blonde with dark green eyes. Now that I think about it, they were like brothers always joking or having fun when they can. Henry comes from the witch's side, I actually mean a witch Father made sure I would be 'Pure'. He as in Henry has dark skin, also toned build, dark hair, with brown eyes. Once we got to the car we all get in, with me being the last, when everyone was in the car we went to the store... I mean mall.
I wouldn't be kidding when I said that it is chaos in the store, three crazed girls tearing through many dresses pilling them up on a poor lad's arms. People that say that all angels are sweet and gentle-hearted, don't listen to them. A perfect example of this statement is Cythina, Samatha, and Brittney. Cynthia is the oldest out of the female siblings, platinum blonde with hazel eyes. Her hair used to be brown, but she changed it as for her brown is not attractive. Samatha and Brittney followed her and also changed their hair to a platinum blonde, I kept my natural auburn. I love my waved auburn hair, it has a nice flow I would not change it for anything.
After several hours of shopping thanks to the crazed females and the chaos, we all got our dresses and shoes. I decided to sneak away to get stuff to design a mask myself, also I was starting to get a headache from all the noise. As I was walking around my mind had gone elsewhere, causing me to run into someone thankfully it was just Liam who was looking for me. "There you are, please don't go off alone again. I don't feel like losing my job or disappointing your... Mother... " I can tell that he didn't like calling that woman my mother, I don't like it either I just simply nodded though. He simply sighs understanding and takes me back to the group where Cynthia was yell- no Demanding Henry to leave without Liam and me. Shooting a small thankful and apologetic glance at Henry, while ignoring the three fake blondes bickering.
Once at home, we leave the car and head to our rooms. As soon I am in my room, I hang my dress and take out my sketchbook to start sketching out my mask. I keep telling myself that this idea will be worth everything, even if there are consequences. I will end this war one way, hopefully not needing to end it the other way.
Damon's POV
Pacing my office back and forward while being watched by Sebastian, my right hand. Of course, I was trying to think of a solution to the newfound problem, Bastian has been helping me all day. "Sir, we have gone through everything, plus we don't know if the person will even come. We perhaps are worrying over nothing, but if they do, we will know when it hits midnight. " I sigh and run a hand through my dark locks that are already tousled due to my habit. Leaning against my desk, I spoke "Perhaps you are right, no one in the right mind would come here anyway. Unless they have a death wish, that is. Alright, we should be getting every prepared, we don't have long until the party. " Bastian nods. "Of course, Sir. We will see to it. " With that, he left my office, leaving me alone to my own thoughts. 'Like anyone is foolish enough to try to get in, everything would be fine either way. As if there is someone foolish enough they will simply be put in the dungeon and then killed after the party. Simple solution.'
