Kathy's P.O.V.

I sat there on the floor with a few tears running down my cheeks, watching Andrew.

Andrew was fuming and ordered the entire place on lockdown. I guess he thought Damon was still somewhere inside the castle. I hoped he was somewhere far away from here.

"Send out your best men and find Damon Masen." Andrew yelled to the guards.

They nodded and disappeared. I heard shouts and heavy thumps above me.

I shakily stood up and wiped my face. "No." I said.

"What?" Andrew demanded.

"Please just let him go. I'm not going to try and escape. I swear I'll marry you. Just please let him go." I pleaded.

He didn't say anything but I heard him breathing fast.

I walked up to him and slowly placed my hand on his cheek.

"Please." I breathed.

He stared at me with his jaw clenched before he sighed and relaxed. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I lowered my hand before he grabbed it and clasped it with his before leading me upstairs.

I kept glancing at him but he stared straight ahead without once looking at me. He left me in my room and said, "Be ready at 7pm." before shutting the door.

I spent the next few hours sitting on the bed and listening to the iPod that the maid gave me. The strange thing was that it was my favorite color, purple. I also discovered it contained music by all my favorite bands. It was strange that after all this time, Andrew still remembered such things about me.

The maid stopped by to give me lunch at around 1pm. I popped some of the fries in my mouth but barely touched it and continued to poke at the hamburger since it took me back to the night I came back from the movies with Damon. He'd brought McDonald's and I remembered having a mini food fight with him.

I sighed and went to take a hot shower. I took my time and even sat in the tub, letting the water hit my back. After an hour or so, I hopped out and wrapped one of the white fluffy towels around myself, noticing how my fingers and toes looked permanently wrinkly.

I glanced at the bed and saw a short dress made up of a lacy black corset and ended in a red tutu style skirt with black strips. There were also black heels along with a beautiful red and black satin mask.

I held the dress against my body as I looked in a mirror.

"Ugh!" I said. "No way am I wearing this. Does he want me to look like a slut?!"

Just then I noticed a figure smirking in the mirror. Andrew.

I gasped and turned around. "What are you doing in here? Get out!" I shrieked, hugging the towel to myself.

This made his smirk grow as his eyes raked over me in a way that made my stomach churn.

"I just came to make sure you had received your outfit for tonight."

"Yes I did." I said curtly. "And I'd like you to know I'm not wearing it. It's way too short!"

Andrew snorted. "You're wearing this dress to the masquerade ball, Katherine, whether you like it or not."

"What makes you so sure?" I countered. "With this outfit, I'm bound to get raped!"

 His face darkened before he walked closer to me. I backed up until I was pressed against the wall with his arms on either side of my head. My breathing hitched. His green eyes pierced into mine and I couldn't help but stare back at them.

He sighed. "Did you ever stop to think that was the point, Katherine?"

I didn't answer him and he continued. "You'll be the most gorgeous thing in the room. And you're mine. No one can touch you."

I gulped and looked away, not knowing what to say to that. His eyes studied my face before he put his arms down and backed away and walked out of the room. I let out a sigh of relief and picked up the dress I didn't know had slipped through my fingers.

After finding a bra and underwear, I walked into the bathroom and found a flat iron in one of the many drawers. By the time I finished up my layers and bangs, it was around 6:00pm.

I quickly put on some foundation before deciding to wear black eye shadow and blood red lipstick.

I quickly slipped the dress on and decided to add some black fishnets for my legs before I put on my shoes.

I smirked as I slid them on. If he wanted to show me off, I would let him. I would make this backfire on him. He'd be completely ashamed of me by the end of tonight.

I slipped the mask on before looking in the mirror and posing with my hands on my hips.

Hmm....I look pretty hot. I thought to myself.

A knock came on my door as I was fixing my hair. "Come in." I said cautiously.

A young maid with dark wavy hair came in, "Master Collins has asked me to bring you downstairs for the ball." she chimed.

I smiled at her and walked out of the door. "Then let's not keep him waiting." I said sarcastically.

She nodded and quietly led me down the stairs.

As I approached the bottom step, I spotted Andrew in an all black tux with a red tie with a black velvet mask embroidered with silver.

He smiled at me and held out his arm. I reluctantly hooked mine in his and he began walking.

"You look beautiful Kathy." he said.

"Thanks." I said quietly and looked away.

"You might as well get used to this. Of us." he mused as we came to a halt in front of huge wooden doors with a guard on each side.

"Never." I hissed, looking straight at him.

That's when I heard a loud applause coming from the other side of the door. The men opened each door to reveal a beautiful ballroom full of people in masks and suits and dresses. I gasped at the sight and looked around. It was absolutely huge, with marble floors and tables covered with black in the back and the entire left wall of the room was glass and past it you could see some sort of court yard there with stone benches and plants. I noticed as we stepped forward that there was a huge staircase that we were meant to walk down.

As we descended slowly, I felt my heart racing in my chest. I couldn't believe all these people had shown up for our engagement party, it was insane! I was overwhelmed by the turn out. How was I ever going to survive this? How was I going to put on a show for all these people??
