In front of a mirror sat a girl that despised her existence.All her life,whenever she goes into the village she was always called all sort of names.Even though she is beautiful her beauty have never saved her from being talked down to.

Looking into the mirror is Euphorial which means happiness.She is the well known scum of Ariel village.

Euphorial took in her features in the mirror,blonde haired,yellow eyes with a hue of purple which is unnoticeable unless she is angry or not in a good state of mind,full dark lips,small nose,long lashes,perfect shaped eye brow with a perfect body.She dressed up and went out of her room.

'Hey beautiful',her father greeted her and she answered "good morning father Cross".

Baby don't forget to get yourself a dress for the year's annual ball said her father before she went out.

My name is Euphorial Cross i have always known that my dad is half human and half vampire while i'm a human.I can guess what you are thinking well i don't really know what i am but i know that i'm not like my father.

As i venture into the village i covered my head with my father's coat to avoid people stares and disgusting words that was always thrown at me.I bought food and went to my friend's shop which happened to be at the extreme end of Ariel village.

My friend name is Victor he happend to be a tailor every dress that i have was sewn by him with my father's because no one in my village wants to sew for us because of the rumour of me being a witch.I got to victor's shop and knocked because i know he is always busy sewing clothes or attending to those spoilt girls who came to his shop for either looking at his handsome face or wanting to feel his touch on their body while he took down their measurements.

When i knocked he opened the door and we talked about our childhood cause he had been the only friend i have all other female friend i have are always jealous of my beauty and the male friends i had before ran away from me because of the rumour that surrounded me.

Victor showed me the clothes he had sewn for me and asked for the permission to get a masquerade ball mask for me and i agreed.Since it's getting late i took my cloth paid for the money and went home.

When i got home i saw my dad sipping a red liquid which he called wine for me because he didn't want me to know much about him but i know that the so called wine is a stored blood.

'Welcome back',Charles Cross my father said and i hmmd as an answer.

'I guess this year annual ball will be different cause the king invited everyone which means there will be important guests so use a mask on that day because i don't want people to recognise you and start saying rubbish about you before the king and his guests,and also i want you to find a man that you will marry that day'.

'Okay father',i answered.
