one of them she writes down
‘To do:
1.) Decorate the ball room
2.)Plan out the theme
3.) get the costumes together
4.) Invite everyone.
And on the second piece of paper she wrote
‘To do:
1.) make sure Lucciola is out of the house until 7 PM.
2.) Tell Nicholi about this.’
Catalina handed Cain & Christian each a piece of paper. These are the things I need you guys to do. I will make the decorations and cook all the food. But first I’ll need to know the theme.” Catalina looked at Christian who took the paper that says “Plan out the theme on it.” “Umm, how about we make it like, a ball.” Catalina smiles and claps. “Great idea! Let’s get started right away we don’t have much time!” Cain and Christian walk out of the kitchen as Catalina gets up and takes out as many pots and pans as she can find. Cain goes up to Nicholi’s room and knocks on the door. “Lord Nicholi, it’s me. Cain.” “Come in” Cain opens the door and sees Nicholi still laying in bed with his shirt half up. “Lord Nicholi, I have a request from Lady Catalina.” Nicholi sits up, running his hand through his chocolate brown hair and looks at Cain. “She’s going to throw a ball for Lucciola’s party. I attempted to talk her out of it but she looked extremely happy and I knew that would displease you.” Nicholi nods. “Let her do as she wants, and do whatever she tells you to.” Cain bows and walks out of Nicholi’s room. Cain goes down and grabs Lucciola’s hand. “Lucciola could you help me with something?” Lucciola rolls his eyes. “What?” Cain walks out of the house, winking at Catalina as he walks pass the kitchen and she smiles. Catalina grabs cake batter and beings to make the cake. A few hours pass by, Catalina is done making all the food, she puts it all on the cart and walks into the ball room. She see’s the walls are painted white with Royal blue drapes on the big windows and a burgundy floor, a big beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling, there’s beautiful cherry wood tables with roses on the table and feathers on the back of the chair and a long table stretching from one side of the room to the other to put the food on. “Christian! This looks perfect! I love it!” Catalina says as she runs and jumps on Christian, hugging him tightly. Christian smiles “I’m glad you like it. It took me forever to do.” Catalina smiles and gets off of Christian. “Thank you so much.” Catalina walks over to the cart and Christian pick up the white 8 layer cake with ribbons on them and sets in the middle of the table as Catalina gets the other entrees and sets them on the table. “That cake looks unbelievable. I didn’t know you could cook so well.” Catalina smiles “I can do a lot of things that you don’t know.” Christian smirks and grabs Catalina’s hand. “Would you like to see the dress I made you?” Catalina nods as Christian takes her up to a room. Christian picks up a crimson red dress and hands it to Catalina. Catalina puts it on and looks in the mirror. Her back is visible with 2 gold chains hanging from it, it’s long and ruffled. Christian comes up behind her and puts a beautiful white necklace with gold sequins on them. “Christian this is.. This is gorgeous. I’m speechless.” Christian smiles and looks at his watch. “It’s almost 7. I’m going to go give Nicholi his suit, then put mine on, then go and greet our guests. You stay here until I come to get you, okay? Our guests are all vampires and they’re not used to having a human around so it’s dangerous without someone with you.” Catalina nods and sits in the chair as Christian leaves. Catalina starts to curl her hair and puts it in an up do. Taking the tiara from the table and puts it on. A few minutes go by and Christian comes back into the room with his black & white suit on and grabs Catalina’s hand. They walk down to the beginning of the stairs as the hundreds of vampires in the room silent down and stare at her. Nicholi turns around and looks at Catalina as his gaze meets hers. They begin to walk down the stairs and Christian whispers “Don’t mind them. They won’t eat you. While you’re with me anyways. Just don’t go far, okay?” Catalina nods, and straightens her posture, showing she’s not scared. “Where’s Lucciola?” Catalina says as she looks around the whole room. “I don’t know but he’s wearing all white. So you’ll know him when you see him. You stay right here, I’ll be right back okay?” Christian says as he walks away. Catalina smiles and looks around the room smiling at how beautiful it looks. A man with black hair walks up to Catalina. “I heard you’re looking for Lucciola? I can show you to him.” Catalina smiles and nods. “Please show me to him! I must find him.” The man takes Catalina’s hand and walks outside, to a cherry blossom tree and pushes her up against it. Catalina struggles to get away but he’s just to powerful. She bites his hand, and get’s loose. Catalina runs as fast as she can but the dress keeps getting in the way. She hides behind a tree and bites the edge of dress, tearing it so her right upper thigh is visible. “Dear god, Forgive me Christian.” Catalina begins to run again, seeing the vampire getting closer. She bumps into something as she runs. It’s him. He smacks her to the ground and as he’s about to bite her, someone picks him up and throws him into a tree. “Get on my back.” Catalina hurried, gets on Lucciola’s back and Lucciola begins to run.
