I was woken up by a knocking sound.

"Azalea, this door is about to break," I hear Owen say from all the knocking.

"Come in," he says without hesitation.

"What" I ask as I rub my eyes.

"Wake up"

"Why" I narrow my eyes.

"It's ball day," he says.

"Oh, it's today."

"And we're having breakfast together."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

He leaves, and I get up to get dressed. When I go downstairs, I see a bunch of people.

"Who are those people?" I say as I sit down.

"They prepare this place for the ball."

"When is the ball?" I ask them.

"At 7, quick question: do you want a makeup artist and your hair done? Henry says.

"I can do those things by myself."

"Why do it by yourself when others can do it?" Theo said.

"I don't like other people touching my face," I state.

"Than everything is set, I've got to go for work and see all of you at 7," Dorian says and leaves.

"I still don't get it. Why did you wake me up at 9?" I look at Owen.

"Dorian told me to," he says quietly.

"I'm done eating; I'm going back to sleep. If any of you wake me up before four, I will kill you." I walk away as I hear Teo say

"Why did she say that with a smile?" I hear Theo say.

I go to my room, and my head meets the pillow.

~~~

I feel someone staring at me. I want to turn around, but what if it's a guard or I don't know?

I'm scared

It makes me remember all the nights in Russia, when they would come stare and then do things I will never be able to forget.

My stomach started to hurt from fear, and my head felt heavy.

"I know you're awake," I hear a familiar voice say.

I look at him.

"What the fuck, Kenji?" I started to breathe heavily.

"You can't stare at people who are sleeping; you creap."

"I was told to wake you up."

"And you can knock or call." I can feel I have glossy eyes.

"I'm sorry if I sacred you." He looks down.

"Just get the fuck out," I say angrily, so he does.

My Shakey hands aren't calming down.

I sigh and rub my eyes.

It's fine

I'm safe now.

Damn it, it's not like he knew it. He's weird in his own way, but if he knew the truth, he wouldn't do that, right?

I get up and look at makeup stuff; Kelly actually helped me get those.

I started to do my makeup, and the question of how I know to do it has a dark answer to it.

After I'm done doing my make-up, I start to put on a dress and realize I need help with the zipper.

I have no idea how I zipped it the first time I tried it on.
