The day of the ball came quickly.I and my father decided to go together with our best carriage.My father is a merchant so we are classified as the middle class so we are not poor.
The ball was to take place in the king's place which is at the top of the hill in Ariel,so the carriage has to move upwards which is not very comfortable.As we near the king's palace,the first thing i could notice is the beautiful garden outside the castle walls.We entered into the castle and the carriage rider stop at the castle entrance so that we can get down.After we got down the rider went to park the carriage.
I was accompained by my father to the ball since i have no one as a lover.As we were entering,i saw alot of girls of my age being accompained by their lover.Since i was the only maiden being accompained by her father and also the only girl wearing a mask when the party is not a masquerade ball,i gained a lot of attention.My father then left me giving an excuse to dance and he also reminded me to catch a man's interest.
I was wearing a purple off shouldered dress with matching purple mask.The purple outfit brings out the purple hue of my eyes because of the dark lighting in the ball room.Then the music began and all the young maiden begin to dance with their patner,since i have none i decided to have a tour around the ball room.
As i begin my intention i felt a eyes boring into my back and the gaze came from where the king,his royal family and his important guests were sitted.i decided it was nothing no one recognised so the king won't have know about the misterious rumour about me,so i continued my journey which was observing the painting in the ball room.When the gaze become intense i looked up and checked out the special compartment but no one was lookin at me but i swear i felt an intense gaze,i gave up and continued with the task at hand.
As i concentrated on the paintings on the wall i felt a chill run down my spine amd a ragged breathing.I turned around and became shocked with what i saw :red eyes staring at me,elongated fangs,disheveled hair,elongated nails,sexy pink full lips,strong jaw with a dangerous aura.
Handsome,that is what i thought.I know i should be scared of this devil look alike but i'm not.I don't know why but i think he will never hurt me.My subconciousness was screaming at me to run back to the crowd but i couldn't move i love the way he was staring at me like he wants to devour me.I have never been looked like that all the look i get from people is always from disgust.I want him closer to me,i want to tame him.
As if he heard my thoughts,he moved closer to me,sniffed me as if he wants to imprint my scent in his mind then he hugged me and buried his face in my neck.My heart started drumming not out of fear of the stranger but out of excitement.What i am experiencing right now is my first hug,in his embrace i felt peace and security i know i shouldn't feel safe with a stranger but i don't why i'm feeling all those strange emotion with him.Maybe it was becsuse i have never been held like that before.I closed my eyes to enjoy the heat and comfort coming from him,the comfort that is reassuring me that he wouldn't hurt me.
Right now i wish the word will stay still so that i can be at peace ...
