Her arrival [[Open]]

[Guenivere Aberneathy]

Guenivere was not usually one that would go to a party, but she could never pass up a masquerade. She sat before the vanity in the room of the inn she was inhabiting, her hair tied up so it would curl and it naught but her under garments. Her dress was hanging on the door behind her, and she could see its reflection in the mirror. She was currently doing her makeup, and was just finishing putting a metallic gold rouge above her eyes when there was a knock on her door.

“Miss Aberneathy, your carriage will be here in thirty minutes.” The voice called. She nodded and called through the door, “Very well.”

She grasped the red and gold jewelry set on her dresser and put it on before beginning to take the pins out of her hair. It fell into spirals about her face, and she took several sections, pinning it into the desired fashion.Once she was satisfied with it, she moved to her feet and pulled her dress on. She grasped her mask off the table and moved towards the door.

When the carriage arrived where the party was being held, she sighed and put her mask to her face. She had decided to dress as a phoenix, and had found the perfect costume. The door to the carriage was opened, and the attendant helped her out. She straightened her dress and grinned slightly to herself. With a final primp of her hair, she made her way inside.

[Sophie Bathory]

Sophie was at her large house sitting in her room in front of her large mirror in her room. Carefully placing eyeliner onto her eyes she put the top on her eyeliner and then stood in front of the mirror looking to see if she looked fine and presentable and nice for the Masquerade Ball at the Valerious Mansion. She sighed and decided to put on her black shoes. After putting on her shoes she headed downstairs. "Hey Felix, how do I look" as always Felix was overprotective and said that she shouldn't be looking that nice to go there. He was freaked out that a guy would hit on her. Hell even a woman would he thought since she looked so pretty. She shook her head at him and grabbed her mask and put it on carefully to not screw up her hair or anything. She walked outside and called for a carriage to go and take her too the castle. Sitting in the carriage quietly she was very nervous. She didn't know who and what would show up. She was mostly freaked out that she would see Dracula there later in the night or for all she knew, Victoria. Victoria completely scared the living nuts out of her last time Sophie came upon her. She then stepped out of the carriage taking the drivers hand so she wouldn't fall on her ass and she entered the mansion with caution gazing around. She was in awe as she walked in realizing that so many people were there with very gorgeous outfits on. She sighed and then stepped into the ballroom and stood against a wall just listening to the music for now. She didn't really see anyone she knew there at the moment. She then looked over and saw Guenivere. She smiled with happiness and walked over to her placing a hand on her shoulder softly. "Hey! I love your outfit you look very pretty tonight" she said smiling at her.

[Guenivere Aberneathy]

Guenivere jumped as a hand was placed on her shoulder and she spun, only to see Sophie. She barely knew Sophie, but knew her well enough to recognize her in a mask. She smiled at her. "You look beautiful as well, Sophie." she replied with a smile, looking at her friend. She looked around her. "Goodness, there's no men here, and I actually want to dance." She said with a forced smile. At this moment, she could dance with any man, except for Dracula. If he showed up, she honestly didn't know if she could stay composed.

She looked at Sophie for a moment then fluffed her own hair.

[Sophie Bathory]

She grinned. "Aww thanks Guen." She said happily. She turned around facing the huge crowed of people. "Yeah.. Me too.. It's a shame that there aren't much here." Sophie felt like she should have brought her brother Felix along. At least it would give somebody for Guenivere to dance with. She wanted to see her friends that she had have fun that night. She turned back facing her friend. "All I want for tonight, is to stay alive in one full piece. That means not die from Dracula's hand or any vampire tonight." Sophie's goal for her whole life is to not die from a werewolfs hand or a vampire's hand. In her mind, she thought it was the worst way possible to die and she didn't want to die like that. She shrugged and glanced up at the large balcony above them. And then moved the mask from her face. "I wonder where Anna is..."
