    dancing, laughter and a beautiful night sky with the stars shining so brightly you could see each one of them as clear as day, woman I beautiful gowns off all colours you could ever imagined the men in suites, some so neat they looked like the richest of the rich and some others in cute self funny made costumes and all the different masks hiding there faces from being shown to anyone.

    the fantasy ball, that’s what it was called in your town it was a ball for the rich and poor to come and be one for one night be together no differences between anyone, just all being human, and not being blinded by someone’s gorgeousness or handsomeness because there faces are hidden just there personality just the within.

    you where standing off the side alone your gorgeous dress hugging your body so softly and smooth the colour matching with your mask as you sipped on some wine, this was the one night people wouldn’t look down on a “poor girl” like you, you’re just a maids daughter, your mother is a server for a duke.

    your gaze was quickly pulled towards a gaze that met yours as soon as you had turned your head those blue eyes..as blue as the sky..a soft tint of grey in it like clouds dancing through the sky..they where beautiful…the black mask just over his eyes with a skull on it, something mysterious but so..so attracting..

    you forced yourself to look away, as the voices in the room seemed to drown out and only the footsteps that crept closer where the only thing you heard as if your mind was purposefully drowning out every other noise

    “My lady..”

    a soft voice with a tint of gruffness the most enjoyable sound you’ve ever heard softly trying to get your attention, as you softly turned your head to look at those beautiful eyes..

    “My lady May I have this dance?”

    his strong hand reached out to you him softly bowed over. Such a gentle men as his soft eyes looked up at you not wanting to be left so empty without your hand in his for a dance.
