In Her Disguise

ELENOR

'

The room along with the crowds, were bathed with a variety of brightly colored lights. I have trouble hearing anything else since the music is so thick and loud. Strangers were having a good time in any direction where my gaze turned, which caught me off guard because I wasn't familiar with spending time in such places.

Rather than being shaky and yearning to return, I find myself bewildered. Even so I must maintain my composure, concealing my enthusiasm while my beating heart pumps in tandem with the heart of the music.

Not long before I got my ass seated here with a drink in hand, Ashtrid had a few words in the midst of the crowd, and rather than wasting the time, she clutched their interest, especially men, after all she was dressed so maliciously, in her deep v halter sequin dress corresponding her silver mask which complements all her features, causing all men to lust over her.

I knew coming here would lead for us to encountered quite a few familiar faces—elites decided to join in the fun—luckily, we had our mask on before they did.

They wore quite reveling and lustful dresses though I must say even I myself wore a backless satin dress in a deep forest green shade, I don't mind how my hair turns out as I am confident that I will be alright anyway, nevertheless my companion insist on styling my hair — a tousled locks tied in a messy bun— exposing my neck and sleek back.

It was not much yet it made such a good impression to the crowd.

Joining in the fun is all Ashtrid desires to attain without Julius standing in her way, thus owning one is her best answer, though I personally find it not any less hopeful than her slipping out for some fun.

At the very least this grants her with a place to go wild, still people are bound to recognize her, and soon words will eventually reach her brother.

It will not take long before he does find this out, I suppose that is why Ashtrid settle for having her guess wear a mask she had prepared.

In order to avoid being recognize she settle to be somewhat mysterious making her more a catch of attention. I guess she does love the attention despite wanting to avoid being caught.

While I have my ass still glued in the counter filling myself with shots of heavy liquor, it seems that my companion is already out in the dance floor with load of stranger clinging on her.

Her hands wander to her body from head down to her bottom, dancing her ass off not minding anyone. She seems to be enjoying herself on the dance floor.

I took another sip of my drink before joining in with them and for the very first time socializing myself not only with the council from school, people from my father's office, not my babysitter and definitely not only with Ashtrid but with bunch of — for God knows how unhygienic these creatures are.

Ashtrid shouted at me with a huge smile on her face "I can't hear anything!" I answer. The music's too loud for me to hear her but still I think she said 'Isn't it fun' everything is too exciting for me to care what she said.

It is still unbelievable to me for Ashtrid to be owning a club without Julius interfering, it almost like a dream which I hopes to not wake up to, "Let's go in the middle there's a bunch of cute guys over there" She pull me closer to her as she then drag me not waiting for my rejection, after all, I am fateful to Sebastian despite being in unrequited love.

"I don't want other cute guys I have a cute guy at home" Although I rejected the offer Ashtrid still drag me anyway, perhaps she did not hear me "Idiot, the more the merri--" not long I witness her soul fleeing her body.

Her eyes grow wide, slowly her hands slip off on me, as her gaze is focus for whatever is behind me that made her terrified. I don't want to know what it is, yet it is impossible not to recognize the looks that painted her face.

Ashtrid's face turned pale. She's in deep trouble. We knew this was going to happen, but this is way too soon, we haven't even had our fill of fun yet.

Without further a due I turned my back around on her, only for me to confirm it with my eyes immediately caught Julius standing arguing with the bouncer.

If Ashtrid gets caught, I too will be caught, and it would mean another trouble for Sebastian wouldn't it?

"What the hell is he doing here?" I panic, my entire body shiver in fear I never knew I'd feel just for being caught by my friend's brother.

If it weren't for Sebastian, I would never have to feel inferior towards that crazy brother of Ashtrid "We have to hide, your crazy brother decided to join us a little too early" I turned back to Ashtrid who happen to be already gone— ditching me.

"Ash?" It seems that Ashtrid fled the scene by herself leaving me her companion behind, before I know Julius was already wearing his mask. How the hell did he pass the bouncer? What kind of bouncer did she hire? Is that his spy?

"Go to hell Ashtrid!" I dive further away from the entrance and later find myself right in the middle, if I move further here it will not take long for Julius to notice someone running away in the dance floor.

The whole situation Ashtrid put me is devastatingly exhausting leaving me with no other choice but to dive in into group of people I know nothing about "Hey! do you mind if I join with you?" I would never dare to imagine a day that I'd be a goody good two shoes yet here I am.

"Not a problem at all sweety. You seems out of breath, everything good?" A tall and daring man with blue mask said in a flirty possible way "Am I? It seems like I party a little too hard" I fake my laugh.

"The name is Max, and you are?" His hands started to wander on my waist making me uncomfortable, as the young missus of the Eaves Family his action is unforgivable, if only I could tell him off, "My name is Star" I lied.

Now that I've managed to stay out of trouble for a week, I have to be cautious since anyone can draw me into another trouble, and who knows, these people could belong to the elite.

"Star? like the red wine star?" He pulled me closer to his, with a huge beam forming in his mouth looking a little too happy despite not being good with flirting and thank God, I put myself in disguise knowing he knows about the red star would only mean that he is in fact an elite, "I don't know about that I always tell myself that my name came from the song children sings"
