The Ball

I woke up to the  sound of someone entering the room. It was a maid.

"Miss, here is your outfit for tonight go to the shower and get cleaned up and I will help you get ready".

I got out of bed and stood up.

"What do you mean outfit for tonight am I going somewhere, am I going home?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes, you are going to a ball tonight with Mr de Luca. I'm sorry your not going home but here is your dress for tonight.

"What do you mean I am going to a ball. I don't want to go I want to go home. Can you help me please. "

"Im sorry miss but I can't I will get into trouble if I do just please go to the shower. "

It was pointless so I just said  "Okay" as I didn't want to get her into trouble.

I'm not gonna lie the shower was amazing it felt so good. I stayed in for a good 20 minutes and tried out all the soaps. I shaved and got out. It felt so good to be clean.

If I'm going to a ball I could ask someone to help me. There will be alot of people there I could easily slip out unnoticed. I need to get out of this shit hole. I need to see Brie and let her know I'm OK.

I got out and dried myself and went into the room. The maid was there.

"What's your name" I asked her if I'm going to be here for longer then I want I need to make a friend.

"My name is Aubrey miss. "

"That's a lovely name. My name is Victoria. "

She smiled. "Let's get you ready then." She did my makeup, hair and she put on my dress too. I told her I could do it myself but she insisted.

I looked in the mirror and I looked so different. Normally I would only wear foundation and mascara.

These images are the dress makeup and heels and hair.

I looked so different. I wish Brie could see this. She always wanted me to get out of my comfort zone. I miss her so much. I need to escape fro here and I'm going to do It tonight I have to because it's the only chance I have of getting my freedom.

"I think you look lovely miss."

"Thank you for helping me get ready"

"No problem miss, Mr de Luca will be here in a few minutes."She then left the room.

"Okay".I sat down on the bed and started thinking of how tonight's gonna go. I needed to escape and fast.

The door opened a few minutes later and Ace walked in.

He was wearing a black suit. I got butterflies just by looking at him but remembered the fact he is holding me here against my will.

"Are you ready" he asked. I nodded and stood up and walked towards him, he held out his hand and I took it.

This is going to be fun...
