[center][h3][b]SUMMARY OF LAST TWO DAYS[/b][/h3][/center]

After the encounter with the creepy stranger, Belle had returned to her normal and less mean side of herself. She had been about to speak when Elleta had pipped in and said they were staying at her house. Belle hadn’t spoken, out of fear of giving her away. So, after Torvi and Bowyn agreed to come stay the night (because who knew if the creep would show up again?) and gathered their belongings, the quartet headed to her house. The woman had laughed at his childish remarks after he had left. Belle was silent now, her temper slightly flared. She sighed and tried to shake it off. The day had been long as hell, and she was anxious to head to bed. She couldn’t help but wonder about Kuroi, Ilan, Baraian and the others. Were they safe and had they headed back to Ra-Monde? She bit her lip and remained quiet. Elleta, despite being tired, had used light magic to conceal their group and their pathway to her home. 

Once they were at Elleta’s house, which was in the richer area of Roshmi, they found Rosemary (who had ducked out when the creeper had as to ensure they were safe to head back to Elle’s) and Morgayne hanging out on the couch. To Belle’s relief, some of her clothes and ball dress and mask had been brought too. She managed a delighted smile, trying not to show any surprise. Morgayne gave her a thumbs up, and Belle couldn’t help but hug them both. She couldn’t understand why she had been so concerned and decided to ignore it for now. [color=#E1BEE7]”Bowyn, Torvi and Boreas; this is Morgayne, also known as Morg and Rosemary. They are not threatening at all. They’re friends of ours and they will do everything they can to help, and protect you, before and during the ball and afterwards if you should so choose. Rosemary and I can teach you both the elves customs and dances, and also their stupid traditions tomorrow. There are guest rooms at the right of the hallway that you both are free to use.”[/color] Elle finished speaking and came to hug both of her friends, then headed up the stairs to her room. 

After chatting with Rosemary and Morgayne in code, they assured her that no one had been in trouble. She sighed in relief, but bit her lip when they said they couldn't find the others. Morg saw her concern and assured her they were most likely going to be at the ball. Regulus, on the other hand, might remain at Ra Monde but she wasn’t certain. Belle thanked them for the tidbit then changed into her night clothes. She was staring at the bathroom with surprise and awe. The world kept taking her by surprise. What was scaring her more was how she was beginning to feel what felt like concern and worry for others. She had been too used to feeling cold and distant toward others that she wasn’t sure what to do. Belle scowled at  the wall and headed out impassively passed the group and into her room. She had made sure to say goodnight to Torvi and Bowyn as well prior to stalking off to her room.

[center][h3][b]Ball Preparation - Elleta's Residence[/b][/h3][/center]
The next morning, Belle was woken up after a restful nights’ sleep.  Elleta and Rosemary had prepared food for everyone while Morgayne had gone out to hunt for others. She returned without news once more, though she assured a worried Belle it would be okay once more. She said nothing to the fairy, who had also noted in a quiet voice that “everyone knew they were all-right and are looking forward to seeing her at the ball”. Belle thanked her this time for the information, but her temper flared briefly and caused the sink to spout out water. Luckily, the Elves hadn’t noticed, and Morgayne had been busy eating her food. The thought of being the rebel leader crawled back into her mind which began to ache. The pressure upon her was gnawing at her inside. She chose not to say anything, and began to clean up the mess she had caused. 

Afterwards, Belle trained with Elleta and Rosemary because these Elves didn’t take days off. They invited Torvi to join as well, and worked with the girls on their magic. They showed them defensive and offensive strategies and focused on ways to shield themselves. Afterwards, they practiced more with knives and weaponry, much to Belle’s delight. They had discovered Torvi’s nature, which Belle found incredible. A viking? That was amazing! She was in awe of her friend. Belle grinned at Torvi with genuine joy in her eyes. They quit training afterwards, not wanting to exhaust the humans. They made sure to prep Belle and Torvi, and also Bowyn if he had accepted their help. They showed the girls the customs, proper dancing, and also their mannerisms. Elleta had snicked when she showed them, obviously not one for tradition. She also warned them of the danger that posed and who to watch out for; this seemed plain to them but Belle couldn’t help but appreciate it. 

Now, as Belle stared at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn’t help but imagine. [i]What if the Gang hadn’t tried killing her? What if she hadn’t testified? Would she be here?”[/i] She couldn’t help but snicker at the way her life had gone. One day she was a gang member and leader, then a delinquent and then rebel, hiding from the gang. She shook her head and began to [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/621436998472695811/637081215848939531/41659625824d851521b8e158aab9fca5.png?width=285&height=427]braid[/url] her hair while looking out for the others. The [url=https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/__CGQxTz-Pbbdm7BD8SRSoOtYuzg0WKjZL-pBeh0kS0/%3Fwidth%3D224%26height%3D300/https/images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/ORAHFmZqgLu4pLbfYWCxovDhH-qWoCfaVQdHvpmAMLc/https/i.pinimg.com/474x/a6/6f/94/a66f946cba31210b59696f36a69fd41c.jpg]dress[/url] was beautiful; though she wasn't sure how she felt walking around in it. What if something happened and they needed to flee? The [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/466021461174386714/687046523162460214/482ba995df8fdb223afe7ced66a70141.png?width=427&height=427]heels[/url] would have to either go or be used as a weapon if anything. And her magic...

She glanced at the dress and tights once more, then back up. [i]What's wrong with being confident? Come on, Bells...[/i] She heard Embry's voice in her head and gritted her teeth, though the words helped. With a deep sigh, Belle smirked at her reflection. She then put on her [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/621436998472695811/637080998626197514/4105265e02db416551a3f99379f04bb5.png]mask[/url] and strode out of the bathroom with confidence. Her mind briefly wandered to the fate of Kuroi, Ilan, Baraian and Regulus. The Golden Death too, had been informed of her safety thanks to Morgayne. The sudden thought caused her stomach to churn and her mind to begin running frantically for any shred of hope and peace. The Golden Death would be looking for her and guarding her. She gritted her teeth and cast it out of her mind for now. She was clinging to the 'normalcy' of the past day still. 

[color=#40C4FF]"Torvi, Bowyn - are you ready?"[/color] Belladonna called. She began to look for the others and heard the Elves and forest fairy upstairs, so she sat in the living room to wait for Torvi and Bowyn [/color]
