The Awakening Ball

Song: Avicii - Wake Me Up

Dedication: Thank-you so much BaileyHoffman for your love and support. I love your long and overly excited comments, they make my day. :)))

I sat, slightly tipsy, watching people dance on the floor, gloom pushing down on my shoulders. My drunkenness was slowly fading, thanks to Ike ruining my fun. My hands were crossed against my chest, while I sat silently pouting and brooding to myself at the bar.

"Another shot my dear?" The bartender asked curiously.  I nodded still looking at the dance floor. I turned to the bar, taking the cup and shooting it straight. The liquid burned my throat and I winced, crinkling my nose. That's what I got for trying to be rebellious and try to get drunk again. Disappointingly, I pushed the cup back and shook my head when the bartender asked me if I wanted another.

"You're not drinking anymore?" Zane appeared next to me. He grinned a charming smile at me that would had swayed my decision a few hours ago, but now all it did was annoy me.

I shook my head and turned my eyes back towards the dancing bodies on the floor. I was done for tonight.

"You should, come on let's do a rematch.", He urged and that pissed me off.

I looked at him. "No," I stated firmly, tired of him pushing me and bitterness in my tone. He had completely vanished when I got shitty drunk and who was there when I was acting like a fool? Not him, but Ike.

 After I had told Ike off, he had found me holding a big cup of water and told me I had to drink half of it before he would leave me alone. Of course, I had defiantly refused and began to strut away until he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me back. His touch shot desire straight through my body and to get him away, I quickly obliged knowing if he didn't stop I would most likely tackled him and give everyone in the room a very rated R memory of this night.

To make matters worst, he kept poking my sides, tickling me and making me laugh. So to get him to go away, I drunk half to please the domineering jerk. He also made me promise, that I wouldn't go back to the bar, but...I had my fingers crossed behind my back the entire time.

Just thinking about the smile he had given me after the promise, made me sigh lightly. Selene, I wanted to hate the guy and I couldn't even do that properly.

"Avril." Mist appeared out of the crowd looking at me with wide eyes. "Where have you been all night? I've been looking for you girl!"

I shrugged knowing the exact answer but not wanting to say. I was not in the mood to see one of Mist's motherly disapproving stares.

"Come on it's time," She urged, latching onto my wrist and yanking me off the seat.

"It's time for what?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

"For you to awaken completely." She smiled happily at me.

Ignoring Zane, a little pissed off at him, I begin to walk away from the bar. I thought when we drinking we were in it together. A I-got-your-back, you-got-my-back sort of thing. But after he got to grind on me and stick his tongue down my throat, he had abandoned me and left me all alone to fend for myself. I knew he was more sober than me so he could've watched my back but he didn't.

Slowly, we walked through the crowd, people parting for us and I gazed intently at Mist's back ignoring their intense stares, hating the attention. I couldn't wait for this crap to be over. I was tired of everyone staring me down and taking interest in me. For goodness sake, I'm not that fucking interesting. Just let me be invisible again.

She guided us through the crowd, walking up on the stage. At the back of the stage on elevations again sat six thrones. The highest sitting thrones were seated by Harmony and Zotar. And the lowest elevations were where their children and of course Belladonna, the golden fucking princess sitting next to Ike, were placed.
