Chapter 74 - Luna Debut: Part 2

I'm stuck in thought after listening to Harper. Were my parent's under a witches influence? Were they even evil, like everyone claimed them to be? How dare Ulrich, for even having the audacity to think he will get away with his misdeeds. "Dahlia...Dahlia!" Harper snapped me out if my head. "Yes, what is it?" Can I see your dress, so I know how to do your hair and makeup" Harper asks. "Oh yes, sorry" Dahlia says walking to the room divider to unveil her dress. "How pretty! is that the one your mom designed?" Harper asks. "Yes it is. Did...Did my mom talk about me a lot?" Dahlia asked. "Hey, of course she did, are you okay?" Harper asks. "Yes, I'm just stuck in my head" Dahlia says. "I get it, it must be a lot to take in" Harper exclaimed. "It just seems like, everyone keeps hiding things from me and that I'm not prepared for anything" Dahlia said. "I get it and I'm sorry" Harper says. "Now, I've figured out your look!" Harper says. Harper takes out, some stick looking device. "Yes, it's a wand. Mine is made from a 1,000 year old Willow tree" Harper says smiling. "I guess some stereotypes aren't an exaggeration" Dahlia says chuckling. "You would be right!" Harper says. Harper, flicks her wand and dust flies all over me. Before I know it, magic is at work and my makeup is applied and my hair is done through magic. I look into the mirror and I'm so shocked magic could do this. My eye makeup, is a classical smokey eye. There's colors of gold and red as well. My hair was made up into a French Twist Braid. It looks amazing. "Oh wow!" you did that in seconds!" Dahlia exclaimed. "Magic is so cool right!" Harper says. "I mean, if it's used for the right things" Dahlia says. "Now, let's get you dressed" Harper says. We walk behind the room divider and My dress skirt, and dress are floating. I put on my dress skirt and then Harper flicks her wand and my dress comes flying over my head, and lands into perfect placement. The dress even zips itself up. "Wow Luna, you look amazing!" Harper says. "Thank you so much" Dahlia says. I walk from behind the room divider to go grab my shoes that I placed next to my bed. "Dahlia, you look amazing, you look like absolute royalty!" my father said grabbing my attention. "Thanks dad, your suit is really nice" Dahlia says. My dad is wearing an all black suit, minus his red and black horizontal stripped tie. I watch as Jackson and Paige emerge. Paige is wearing a long sleeved laced covered evening dress. I love the color on her; Crimson Red. Jackson is in an all black suit, minus his red tie. "Oh wow! You all look amazing" Harper says. "I have to put on my shoes" Dahlia says. Dahlia rushes over to the bed and takes out her shoes. She places the shoes on her feet and they're a perfect fit. The evening is starting to feel like a real Supernatural, Cinderella story. I walk back over to where everyone was standing. "Now, line up, shoulder to shoulder" Harper says. We do as instructed. She flicks her wand again, covering us in her pixie dust. "My dust is invisible and it will keep you immuned to magic, especially dark magic" Harper stated. Harper looks at me one more time. "Now I know what you're missing, glitter!" Harper nearly screamed. Another flicker of the wand and glitter cascades down me. I honestly love the look. "She is still missing something" my dad says walking towards me with a box. He opens it and I see my jewelry. "I almost forgot" Dahlia nearly gasped. My dad places my Tiara on my head and then my necklace. "Now, you look like true royalty" My dad says as he places a kiss on my forehead. "Now, let's go rile up some council feathers" my dad says mischievously. "If you don't mind, I'm going to go invisible and keep an eye out on the ball" Harper says. "Okay, just be careful" My fathers says. We head to the suite door, to go make my official debut. I'm hoping this goes off smoothly. We open the door and we head out. Surprisingly, I was more nervous with my transformation. Lord Ulrich, probably had some really terrible plans concocted, but luckily we now know, of his intentions. Let him try and push me around. We make our way to the front desk and my dad informs the front desk of our arrival. "Good Evening, please can we have an escort to the ball, we don't know where it's being held" my dad says. "And your party is..." I cut the lady at the desk off and move to come into full view "Luna, Ravenwood" I say coldy. "Yes...yes...ma'am! right away" the lady states. She picks up her phone and commands someone behind it. "Yes...The Luna, needing an escort, Now!" She yells. "Dear Luna, it will be just a couple minutes" the lady says nervously. "I have to wait! So be it!" Dahlia fakes being annoyed. The lady cowered behind her desk. We stand there no less than 5 minutes, before some other attendee to this hell hole comes rushing up to escort us. "Luna, right this way!" The young man says. He hand motions us to follow him. We walk, to where I can only assume is the center of the manor. We approach giant wooden doors that open. The doors are opened by armed guards. "Introducing Luna Ravenwood" an attendee announces. The entire room of guests look my way and I act like they're not even there. I walk past them as they whisper, while their fear seeps through every pore. "Ah, Luna Ravenwood, come" The familiar voice of Lord Ulrich can be heard loud and clear. I zero in on his location and I don't hesitate to walk straight to him. "Good Evening" I say as I give a small bow. "Dahlia, may I call you Dahlia?" Lord Ulrich asks. "No, you may not, you may call me Luna" Dahlia says sternly. "Forgive me...Luna, you look quite dashing. You remind me of your mother" Lord Ulrich says with lust in his eyes. Dahlia can't control it, but a low growl escapes her belly, causing Ulrich to take a step back. "Never refer to my mother in my presence, we're nothing alike!" Dahlia snaps. "Apologies, I think we got off on the wrong foot" Ulrich says nervously. By this time my father and guards have caught up. "Ethan good to see you" Ulrich says with too much enthusiasm. "Would the Luna care to dance?" The voice of my once enemy; Tobias. "Tobias, good to see you. Yes, I'd love to" Dahila says as she leaves Ulrich. Tobias takes me to the dance floor and we enter into a Waltz. "You look nice" Tobias says. "Please, dressing up in this monkey suit, is the last thing I want to be doing" Dahlia says as she rolls her eyes. "Tobias, when we leave here, come visit me at Ravenwood mansion" Dahlia says vaguely. Tobias gave me a skeptical look but nods his head in agreement. We dance for a few more minutes and then the song ends. I give Tobias a small bow and leave him on the dance floor. I make my way back to my dad and tell him "I asked Tobias to visit us at the mansion when we go back home" Dahlia said. "Did you give him any details?" my dad asks. "No, I figured the ball would turn into a blood bath" Dahlia said. "Good call" my dad says. We hear clanking on a glass to grab our attention. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to, introduce the royal Luna; Ravenwood" Lord Ulrich announces. I play the role I'm supposed to, and I give the guests a small wave and bow. "Dinner is served" Ulrich announces and the guest make their way to their tables. Ulrich comes up to me again. "Luna, after the ball, the council would like to speak to you and your father" Ulrich exclaimed. "Yes, Lord Ulrich. I will inform him" Dahlia says giving him a small smile. The gesture of a smile alone, seems to have Ulrich eating out the palm of her hand.
