And Still I Rise

We made our way to the designer store that the volturi owner outside Volterra. I couldn't quite pronounce the name right "Let's go in." Renata spoke softly taking me hand in hand like a child. They were all covered like Alice when we first met the volturi, they had a scarf protecting their face in the sun. We were then greeted by the store assistant manager "Good evening ladies, how may I assist you today?" The female vampire assistant spoke. She was a vampire. Jane then took off her gloves, took off her sun glasses, and tossed the scarf in a chair "Were here to pick a ball gown for the upcoming event" she spoke.

Renata looked like a child entering the worlds biggest toy store, I could tell she was really excited. The lady guided us to a private section made just for ball gowns. To make the experience more convenient, the store closed for the day just for us, and to make it even better the section where all the ballgowns were had absolutely no windows. You can tell Aro designed this section just for vampires. As soon as I saw a giant luxury where house with ball gowns of different colors in existence we knew we were here.

Renata started squealing with excitement already pointing out a champagne ballgown dress she wanted me to try on first "Just look at this one, it's so beautiful! Try it on Michelle oh pretty please." She was begging. Jane squinted her face in disgust as she started going her own way picking out ball gowns for herself I assume since she went to the section where it was an all black section for ball gowns. Renata rolled her eyes and she pushed me into the fitting room to try it on. The color literally got lost in my pale skin, it kinda washed away and it I did not like the fact that it was plain with little to no detail on the dress. I still came out with it and I saw from the corner of my eyes Jane with eyes of disgust that read "It looks hideous on you" which I don't disagree.

Renata then realized the problem and made me try on a pink ball gown dress next. The ballgown was pretty by it self, the flowers matched my loving personality but I hated the top. It looked like something that would be used as a crop top on its own. It also washed away in my skin tone which I hated allot. I came out and Renata loved it but Jane still hated it. With a black ball gown in her arms "You look like a rag doll." She flat out spoke, Renata then looked at her "Oh you got a better idea!?" Jane then turned to look at her "Never claim to have one." It was comical. Jane tried on a black ball gown dress and I absolutely loved it on her but she hated the way the top was not flattering on her.

Renata then picked a dark green ball gown for me to try on after I insisted that dark colors looked better on me. I loved the green one, it was clear that dark colors suited me the best. I also loved the sleeves I think they were beautiful. I just hated the fact that the bottom was so simple. I came out in it and Renata loved the way it looked at me but agreed on the bottom portion of it. Jane then looked at me and continued to search for her own ballgown. The personal assistant then found me a dark red ball gown dress "Try this on, I think it would look good with your skin tone and it will flatter your body type." I then took it and saw it was a bit plane for my liking "I don't know it looks-" she cut me off "Give it a chance darling." And so I did.

I'm glad I tried it in because red was definitely my ideal color. It suited me very well I was just looking for a ball gown and this was more of a special occasion dress. Renata gasped and clasped her hands together "Oh Michelle you look so beautiful. I think red is definitely your color." She smiled. Jane then looked at me and nodded in agreement but did not say anything more. She still continues to look for black ball gowns that fit to her liking. When I expressed that I loved the color and I was planning to stick with the color but did not like the style of the dress, to my surprise the attendant was still happy as well as Renata. I imagined they were gonna be bothered and annoyed but to my surprise they proved me wrong.
