Activity

The limo pulled up slowly to a large stately building. Their limo was one in a long line of limos, all filled with dignified-looking men and women. The door opened and Doctor Jefe leaned in, grinning. “Showtime.” He said, motioning them out. Aria slid out first and Damian after. He straightened his tie and jacket, all the while glancing around at the plethora of well-dressed people. He reached down, squeezing Aria’s hand as he leaned towards her ear. “Whatever happens tonight always stay by me.” She glanced up, a little surprised by his tone. His eyes were calculating, his icy gaze moving over everything, picking up every detail. “Come, children.” The doctor motioned them to follow him.

Damian held out his arm for Aria to take and they followed the doctor through the large glass doorway and into a huge well lit ballroom. Damian and Aria glanced about in amazement at the beautiful architecture that made up the room. The level they stood at seemed to wrap around the main portion of the room, forming sort of a balcony. Tables and chairs, complete with white tablecloths and candles were set up all around the balcony. Waiters in white tuxes weaved through the tables like busy bees, meeting the patrons’ needs and wants. The pair stood at the head of one of two sets of vibrant blue carpeted stairs leading down onto the main floor. The ball floor was made from polished wood that glistened in the smooth lighting of the room. large ivory pillars stood around the room. The orchestra sat on a raised platform on the far side of the room, playing soft, yet peppy music for the dancers down below. The whole thing reminded Aria of something out of a fairy tale, while Damian kept the icy look in his eyes. The doctor stepped forwards greeting a few of the guests. Damian turned his head, seeing that many of guards stood at different points around the room, all wearing black tuxes, a slight bulge in their left pocket. Damian dropped his head a little. This was ridiculous, why were they here? He blinked hard, why did his vision keep going fuzzy? What was happening to them?
