Seventeen - The pageant
Twelve The pageant
I was in the twin's suite; they were trying to help me pick an outfit to the beauty pageant. They had also asked to do my makeup. My two cousins were obsessed with fashion. I knew there weren't going to let me down, never!
"Have you decided on whom you are going to take to the beauty pageant as your date?" Asked Mary-Jack.
"Jack, I haven't decided any of that, I mean, I have been focusing on the outfits, I will find a date by the end of the day." I said, as I hadn't decided my main goal was to crush James's ego.
"You could have taken Harry, but with whatever is happening I don't think it's a good idea." Mary-Jack said.
"Jack, that's somebody who is about to be an ex, they can't show up together and then break up. I don't think there is high chance of them getting back together, after what he has done. No way!" Mary-Jane responded to her twin sister. They all looked at me waiting for my comment, well I had nothing to say, especially after Harry and the maid's scandal I didn't want to see his face ever again.
"But there is this guy from our school, He goes to Oasis Springs and is a vampire, nobody knows, but I know, he is hot, I think he is a prince." Mary-Jack mentioned the new guy.
"Jack, you mean Bruce, he was here today, and I saw him and Ivy chatting, and it seemed like there were getting along, I would not be surprised if he asked to him to be his date." Mary-Jane broke the news to her twin sister, who was not please, not at all!
"Ivy! Am I not your cousin too? Why do you tell Jane everything and then when it comes to me you let me find out that you are seeing a new guy from Jane?!" Mary Jack complained, it's not like I was hiding anything from her, she was busy designing my outfit when all this happened.
"Jack, that's not the case you're my favourite, look you just designed these two outfits for me, and I'm so grateful, I didn't tell Jane anything, she found out on her own, besides you are the best cousins I have ever heard." I cheered her up then called for a group hug and kissed both. I mean, there were the only cousins I had.
"Okay, Jack, you are going to do the honours of inviting Bruce to the beauty pageant tonight as my date." I said as I watched her mood getting better.
"Hey... But I could have done that!" Shouted the Jealous sister. It was so funny how these two competed to be on my good side. Even though, I thought these two blond haired were always cool and classy, they thought I was cooler than them. If it weren't for them and mother who picked out my outfits, then I don't know where I would be on my own. I appreciated the love I got from my family!
"Jane, listen, you are going to help me with makeup, I want to look like the ancient gothic vampires, yeah but make it witchy, people should know who I am, a vampire and a witch." I instructed Mary Jane on how I wanted my makeup to be.
"Yeah, right baby. You shall arrive in gothic outfit, then for the pageant you will compete in black show those wolves that vampires are cool!"
"Jack could you please help take off this dress, I really wanted to wear it to the fashion show, I was going to win in this one." I said as I unzipped the gown I had won to Darker Ville for Full Moon Fest, it was purple, designed by one of our royal designers, Carla Moretti-Laughton. (Jade's stuff). Azura, Faerie of the Sacred Grotto a beautiful gown with whirlpool currents of sparkling sapphire lace whirl around my chest. Petals of organic pintucked ombre organza make the skirt. With teal and green paillettes stitched throughout to add shimmer. Filigree armour in the same colour of the gown decorated my shoulders, iridescent scales give a "creature" feel to the arms and necklace. Such a lovely dress, it was very expensive, too bad it had a lot of memories attached to it, bad ones though!
"Jack, when asking, Bruce to attend, please ask him to wear something that portraited the vampirism, I want to feel his presence during the pageant. The theme colour is gothic red and black, I'm also going to show up in a gothic theme, I want us to match." I explained to Mary Jack as I picked another outfit to try on, I wanted to a showstopper at James' event. He did not know what was coming for him.
It was the French dress, designed by Samina Max, a lacey white with golden features on it, a long lacey veil that was planted in the shoulder going down all the way to the floor. It really was a beautiful iconic dress, but I thought it was out of theme, even my fashionable cousins agreed with me on that!
"Yeah, this would be irrelevant, you would definitely lose to James if you show up looking like that," commented Jane. "We have two more dresses to try," she pointed at the beautiful gowns that were, on the bed. I had to try them, because losing to James was not an option.
"Hand me this black one," I asked. It was a from the vampiowolf collection designed by Leah Serb. It was long back out style, with a long veil that was on the right, it exposed the right thigh mostly and the rest of the leg!
"This is to plain, maybe good enough for James, not me, show me the last one." I said with the feeling that the gown wasn't good enough for me. Mary Jack handed me the Ever night Gown,
"Yeah, this one is the one, I will take it. What do you think?" I asked the twins showing them the dress that was in my hands!
