Immortal Love (4)- A Ball To Remember

While Alex was out in Paris, Amir got to work decorating the manor for the ball. All the servants were working hard to make sure everything turned out perfectly. Amir selected pink and black as the color themes to be placed. It had been Alex's favorite color before she turned, so he thought it might bring her some cheer. He had ordered hundreds of black and pink roses that were placed in the huge dining hall where the ball would take place. He had one of his servants get in touch with one of her old friends from school to find out her favorite band and any celebrities that she had always wanted to meet. Her friend had been over joyed to help and asked whether Alex's old group was invited. Amir thought for a minute and agreed that it couldn't really hurt much. When asked what the party was for he merely told her that it was a surprise.
The cake was enormous. It was six cakes staked one on top of another and frosted black. The cateror then put little intracate pink spider webs all over it. The servants stopped and gaped at it for a moment when first laying eyes on it.
Alex and the group arrived back at the manor with their shopping bags in hand. They could hear people moving around in the main room. Curiously Alex took a few steps towards it before Maria put her hand on her shoulder. "Nope, we've got strict orders to take you to your room until you are ready. It's meant to be a surprise and I'll not have Prince Amir's plans ruined," she said smiling mischiviously. Sighing and giving in without much of a struggle, the group went up to Alex's room. Dante came along as well not sure if his duties were done or not. The girls flopped their bags down on the bed and moved towards the bathroom to get ready. Alex laid her two dresses out smiling as she imagined the look on Amir's face when he saw the little black one. All the girls split up taking different rooms to take showers. Alex enjoyed the hot water relaxing all her muscles. She stared down at her luminiscent white skin and still couldn't believe how flawless her skin was. She remembered girls in school obsessing everyday for perfect skin, and her she got it just from being bit. Smiling she stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towl around her. She peaked through the door and saw Dante sitting there on her bed staring out of the window. Her dresses were spread out neatly on the bed. Sighing she stepped out of the bathroom in her towl and crossed the room. Dante glanced at her and then shot his eyes back towards the window. His body became slightly rigid and nervous. "Which one should I wear first, Dante? I wasn't sure if I should keep the little black one as a surprise for later in the party or wear it as my entrance," he didn't meet her gaze but he did look down at the dresses and pointed to the red one. "Good choice," she murmmered picking it up.
She knew that she could have a little fun with him but her lingering mortalness made her feel bad. After all he was her best friend as a mortal. She went back into the bathroom changing into her dress and drying her hair to a straight and sleeky shine. Her black hair hung down a little past her shoulders and made her blue eyes pop even more. She looked at herself in the mirror and was surprised as to how amazing she thought she looked. She wasn't sure if it was the cocky vampiress in her but for the first time in her 17 years she felt drop dead beautiful and even a little sexy. This sureness of confidence was so new to her. It was hard to make the smile on her face go away and even when she did she could still see the smiling in her eyes. She tucked a red rose behind her ear as the finishing touch and called to the other girls to tell them she was ready. "Amir can I come down yet?" she thought to him, "Yes, Alex just meet me in front of the entrance door first. I want to see your face when you see this." She agreed and she went back into her room to find all the girls there in their fancy dresses. Julie in a pale blue prom type dress, Maria was wearing a very short green dress that hugged every curve of her perfectly, and Heather had on this frilly pink princessy dress. Dante had even quickly changed into a suit and told them he was going to meet Ayane.
The girls linked arms and appeared in front of the main door. Amir was standing there looking amazing. He had an all black suit with a blood red tie that made him look even more godly. His eyes scanned up and down Alex and he smiled. He took her hand and with the other he covered her eyes. She heard the creaking of the door opening and some hushed voices inside. "Surprise, Alex," he whispered softly in her ear and pulled his hand from her eyes. Alex gasped not being able to believe her eyes. The room was decorated with black and pink everywhere. Her eyes stopped on the cake and her jaw dropped a little. He smirked and led her down the stairs toward the crowd. She couldn't believe the number of people that were there. There had to be at least three hundred people staring at her. Some of them she knew but the majority she had no idea who they were. The crowd cheered and a band stepped up onto the stage. Alex screamed as she saw 30 Seconds to Mars standing before her. Jared Leto took the mic, "Alex would you please join us in a little song?" She was speechless that the guy knew her name. Amir gave her a little nudge and she teleported herself to the stage not being able to get herself to walk there. Jared smiled at her and said, "Mr. Amir tells us that you have a little knack for writing. Care to sing your song?" She was surprised that he knew about her being able to write because she hadn't written anything after being changed. She just hadn't felt the need to. She didn't even know that Amir knew she liked to write. She nodded shyly and took the mic. All those eyes on her made her feel a bit nervous but she remembered how she felt earlier and tried to pull out that calmness and absolute sureness. She could only think of one song that she had written. Guys had driven her crazy in school and she seemed to have always had a broken heart. She wrote this after starting to fall for Amir. Taking a deep breath she waved to the band to begin playing:
"Its just another day,
Didn't feel like anything special.
But that was before she saw his face,
And from then on ever-y thing changed.
Her heart was broken from a past love,
Something that she very much never wanted to speak of.
He was too good to be true,
Because her whole life fell through.
But maybe this time she will find no pain,
And be happy enough to go dancing in the rain.
Oh yeah Dear heart I met a boy today,
Prepare to shatter.
Just one look took my breath away,
And made nothing matter.
He sent my dead heart racing,
Leaving me new hope to be chasing.
Please help me find my way,
Because my dead heart has something to say.
Her heart was broken from a past love,
Something that she very much never wanted to speak of.
He was too good to be true,
Because her whole life fell through.
But maybe this time she will find no pain,
And be happy enough to go dancing in the rain.
Oh Yeah Yeah
When I was lost I found you in the crowd,
You sent something through me that made me want to scream out loud:
You sent my dead heart racing,
Gave me new hopes to be chasing.
Just one look from you,
Had me begging that things weren't too good to be true.

She doesn't know what's happening now,
Not even sure if anything is real.
All she know's is that that boy had magic in his eyes,
That set her world on fire by surprise.
She had found new hope in living,
No longer wanting to just give up.
Her heart was broken from a past love (don't want to speak of)
He was way too good to be true(did something that can't just undo)
And her whole life fell through(leaving her way past blue)
But with this new boy brought new hope,
One that sent her dead heart racing."

She finished surprised that her voice had sounded so amazing. But she supposed that it was just something immortals could do. Jared clapped along with the crowd and yelled so she could hear, "That was amazing! You can tour with us anytime you want!" She laughed and looked out into the crowd spotting Amir. He was whistling and smiling. Walking through the cheering crowd, Alex through her arms around his neck. He kissed her gently and then pulled her onto the dance floor. The band started playing their hit "From Yesterday" and both of them danced close as they felt the beat going through them. The crowd gave them some space as they created a huge mosh pit screaming like crazy.
The music changed to "Was it a Dream" and the crowd calmed down grabbing a partner to slow dance with.
Dante danced slow with Ayane feeling completely relived to have her back in his arms. She as wearing a short dark blue dress with a pale blue ribbon around her waist. She had her head against his shoulder with a smile on her lips that she felt would never go away. She looked up from his shoulder and her eyes grew wide. The vampires around her were slow dancing with their fangs deep in eachother's necks. She glanced at Alex and while they weren't biting eachother's necks she could see a few drops of blood fall from their razor sharp kiss. The mortals in the room seemed not to notice, no doubt under the mind powers of a few of the vampires.
The song came to an end and Jared made an annoucement, "Thank you everyone you have been an amazing audience! Mr. Amir has something he would like to say." The crowd cheered for the band and then turned around to face Amir and Alex. Amir turned towards Alex and gave her a grin. "Alex, I know we've been through a lot. I've put you through so much pain in the past and taken away everything you had ever known as a mortal," he took her hand and kissed it gently, "But in your new immortal life I promise things will be different. I feel in love with you the moment I first laid eyes on you and that feeling is even stronger now. There is one thing that I would like to do, that I want you to have as you would have always wished as a mortal." She looked at him confused and her eyes widened as he went down on one knee, "Alex, will you marry me?"
The audience gasped and tears began to well up in her eyes. "Yes," she breathed and the crowd burst into cheers. Alex's tears streamed down as he placed the most beautiful ring on her finger. It was a large blood red stone with small black gems surrounding it. He stood up and pulled her towards him into a fierce kiss.
