chapter 5

Damien pov

As I got ready and wore my waiters uniform to get ready for the party. I was going to work as a waiter there, it was by pure lock I got the job.

I dress up as fast as I could, then I head out so I could be early for the party. It seems it's the daughter of some rich man and it's even a masquerade ball cause they want to keep it more private. I've always thought it was strange how nobody knew a lot about them.

I arrived at the location and then I got on to help up setting the place up. It was a lot of work and took some time to finish but we ended up finishing some time later.

My boss them told me to go help in the kitchen.

' Hey you, go help them in the kitchen with whatever they need, everything needs to be perfect',he said in a quite funny accent.

I went to the kitchen and helped them with the cake and to be honest it looked amazing. I couldn't wait to have a taste hopefully I do get the chance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I passed back and forth trying to get ready as fast as possible. I tried putting on my dress but I couldn't zip it up but thankfully my dad got here just at that moment.

'Dad please can you help me', I said to him.

"Sure turn around", he replied.

I did so and wth one Swift movement he zipped it up in one go.

I put on some jewelry and grabbed my face mask.

I looked at my dad and saw his face looked a bit gloomy with excitement as if he was sad bus at the same time happy.

'Dad what's wrong?', I asked.

'Nothing love', he replied.

He said nothing was wrong but I knew my dad better than anyone. I still insisted and then he just bursted out.

'The problem is really nothing, you're already 16 you're all grown up and it's a bit emotional for me to think one day you'll take over all this but at the same time happy', he said.

' Dad you know I'll always be your little girl', I replied to him.

I hugged him and told him how much I loved him and how I won't ever leave him.

My dad told me some guests had started to arrive and he'll like to introduce me to some of them.

'Dad hope you're not trying to introduce me to some of your friends son", I said to him.

The last one didn't go so great I ended up attacking one of the boys cause they were so rude.

'Come down love, it's just some business partners. I just want you to start getting familiar with it seeing You're the heir to the throne and all my business', he said.

I still looked at him with a suspicious grin. While I escorted him to the hall where the guest had started arriving in while putting on my mask.

I walked elegantly down the stairs while the boat announced my arrival and everybody clapped in awe.

'Well they were probably mesmerized by my beauty. I know I'm really pretty', I said to myself While forcing a smile.

They were just too many people looking at me and it made me nervous. On the Bright side there were many people my age. I never really had the chance to make friends mostly cause I wasn't allowed out I was mostly home schooled.

My dad was always scared for my safety that someone would do something bad to me especially the witches. I always thought he was exaggerating about it.

Frankly I've always wanted to meet a witch I'm sure they're not as bad as dad said. Who knows tbete might be one here.

I kept talking to myself in my mind till my thoughts were interrupted by my dad who gestured towards me his hand for a dance. The long tradition of dancing with your father.

I went on for a while and I really had a great time. My dad told me I should go talk to some people and make some friends and that's exactly what I did. I was a bit shy at first till some a nice young elegant girl walked up to me.

Even with her mask on you could tell how pretty she was with her green curly coloured hair that matched her emerald eyes. Her curles were way different from mine hers were bigger and really beautiful.

'Oh my I love your hair it's so beautiful', the girl said to me.

I replied her with a faint thank you. She seemed very talkative cause she kept initiating a conversation between she and I. And eventually I loosened up to her. I found out her name was Georgia but she insisted I called her Gigi for short and tbh I did enjoy our conversation. She would be celebrating her own 16th birthday soon and he told me she would love it if I came. I was really excited at the thought of being able to go out more and the fact I made a friend.

'I really love the style of your dress', Gigi said.

I told her thank you and I loved hers also.

While we were chatting they announced it was time to cut the cake.

Some waiters then proceeded to bring out the cake and I have to say I was really impressed it was really big I was scared it would fall.

And suddenly something caught my eyes one of the waiters looked odly familiar.

'I've seen him before I'm very sure I never forget a face', I said to myself.

He really looks like the guy I saved the other day what was his name Damien. What a coincidence we would see each other again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The party had started and I was just serving some food from the kitchen which went on for a while before my boss asked me to go help them bring out the cake.

'Damien! Go help bring out the cake it's time to cut it', he said.

As I walked down the hall with the cake with other waiters I caught site of the celebrant and I have to say she was extremely pretty. In her purple gown with it looked different from what I had seen it was shorter and it looked detachable, I guess things are really changing. As I had drop the cake something caught my attention her hair. The color was quite different and I had only seen it on one person the girl who had saved me the other day and now I think about they do look alike her hazel eyes and skin.

Her hair wasn't something I've seen before so it had to be her. I was astonished, I didn't know she was rich and I could feel a strange sensation from her like some kind of power different. Infact I felt it from everyone here. My thoughts were quickly interrupted by the host who then asked her to come and cut the cake at call of her name.
