The committee had really gone out of their way this year to make the annual Masquerade Ball an event to remember. Their theme this year was "Frost" (even though it was only the end of August), and they had done an absolutely brilliant job decorating the huge ballroom. The entry way was beautifully decorated with trees, as well as chairs for those who needed a rest. The rest of the ballroom was equally as beautiful, decorated in whites and soft blues, with candles hanging from a mirrored ceiling to look like starlight. The dining area held beautiful tables, as well as gorgeous ice sculptures, and makeshift chandeliers made out of frosted branches. It was beyond magical. In a corner of the dance floor, a small string ensemble gathered around a world renowned concert pianist to set the mood with soft waltzes and other such music.

There is a separate room that contains the items for the silent auction. There are several sculptures, some paintings from the local gallery, and some package trips to the spa.

Luca and Cyn

It was impressive how enraged her sister s could make her. Cynthia only decided to attend the ball because someone needed to watch the people from her school as they attended. Being a student, she figured why not? She wasn't going with anyone and had never really been to a ball before anyway. Not one she did not work, of course. She had attended the last three balls as one of the servers. Now she was a guest and the caretaker of the young girls who were rich and entitled like her sisters. Now, she had no money for some designer dress and, indeed, had saved up for a long time to afford the one she had on top of her other expenses. She liked it, and it was her favorite shade of blue. Better, was her cat mask That ensured she did not have to do much make up other than lipstick. It was perfect for someone who hadn't even attended prom in school. But her sisters, the Purple Hazed Bahama Mama and the I Skinned a Snow Leopard For This, decided to make her feel like she had shown up for a black tie event wearing a dinner party dress. After informing them that they looked like they came off the reject pile of a toddler's drawings, she walked into the ball, huffing and really not in the mood to be there. At least the mask covered her entire face so no one would see who she was.

She didn't even know anyone who was going to be there aside from Nieve, Hunter, Calla and, of course, the snobby duo of the century Luca and Caius. The latter pair she planned on ignoring if possible. She figured they would both have some fancy, dumb lady on their arms hoping to become their trophy wife. So Cyn went to the corner after showing her over-21 ticket to the bar and getting herself a whiskey sour and sat in the back of the room, far from the ballroom floor. She had no desire to dance that night, especially not after a good portion of the guest list heard her sisters insulting her.

Luca was bored out of his mind, and that was putting it mildly. He didn't really like these kinds of events, but with his family being one of the most prominent donators, he was obligated to attend. He'd chosen his outfit and gotten fitted one afternoon a couple of weeks ago with Royce, and he was still pretty happy with his decision. A fox mask adorned his face, and he'd ditched his brown contacts for the evening; they had been bugging his eyes for the last couple of days, and it was nice to not wear them for once. Sure, it meant that his miscolored eyes were visible to everyone, but that was the beauty of having the mask on; no one knew who he was anyway, with the exception of his father, Royce, and Caius.

He'd been cornered by his least favorite person on earth; one of Cyn's sisters (the dumber of the two), and was about to rip his eyes out when her sister finally pulled her away. He honestly didn't know who on earth let them pick out their clothes, because they both looked absolutely ridiculous. Finally free, Luca headed straight to the bar, ordering himself a whiskey and coke, and looking for an escape route. He found the darkest corner he could, far away from the bulk of the people, only to find he wasn't alone. "I didn't realize this corner was occupied." He said, smirking a little beneath the mask.
