Getting ready for The Birthday Party

Three days later Nan is standing in her room, looking in the mirror at the beautiful dress shes wearing. Its a beautiful deep burgundy strapless gown made of silk. It clings to her beautiful shape and highlights her perfect figure. Her hair is flowing with beautiful waves to her waist. Makeup is applied lightly with, a burgundy lipstick to match the dress. Her golden brown bronzed skin looks flawless as well. She pleased with the outcome. Yet not to eager about the party, knowing yes it may be a birthday party, but it felt more like a match making party. She sighs to herself " Mim, I'm really not looking forward to this. Why can't Mom just let me live my life the way I want. I dont need a man to take care of me." she grumbled. "Nan, she only wants you to find happiness in love. She wants you to have a good man to take care of you." "Your 18 today. Your magic comes in full power as of today. Speaking of your magic, have you been practicing it correctly and studying properly? The elders will be testing you in a few days." "Yes Mim, I practice diligentally." Nan said. "Nan being the daughter of the highest and most powerful witch, they are expecting more from you, especially since you have infinite power." "Every day you gain a new power and become stronger. Both light and dark reside in you. Luckily the light within you is stronger. Thats because of your human genes." Mim said proudly. She has been helping Nan cultivate her power since she was a baby of 3. Nan came into her powers earlier than any witch/human ever has. They knew then she was special and powerful. She accidentally teleported from her moms arms to Mims that day. Scared the mess out of her mom and Mim, but also made them proud at the same time. "Don't worry Mim. I've been practicing faithfully and diligently. I'll make you and mom proud." she said with a smile that reassured Mim. "Okay we are done with the make-up and dressing. Are you ready to make your breath taking appearance?" Mim asked. " You look absolutely beautiful my daughter." came a voice from the doorway. Nan turned around to see her beautiful mom with proud and shining eyes. She was the exact image of her mother. At her moms age she looked much younger. She was wearing an emerald green velvet dress which showed her absolutely perfect figure as well. Her mom walked over to her and hugged her tightly. "I am so proud of you Nan. You will knock them all off their feet tonight." " Yes mother. I will make you proud." she said obediently. She new better than to argue with her mother.
