Hault

A deep voice yelled "Hault", so Theodore and I turned around slowly and saw no other than Bruce and Colton standing there with goofy grins that could be seen even without the bright moonlight.

"Where do you think you two are going without us?" Colton asked offended pointing at Bruce and himself "Just out for little princess's birthday" said Theodore casually, acting as if we we weren't going to the pub.

"We're coming with you two." Bruce said striding towards us.

"No you're not! You're way beyond immature! You'll ruin everything." Theodore whispered very frustrated.

"Let them Theo, it'll be fun! The more the merrier." I said trying to convince Theo. "Alright, Alright. But you guys can't screw this up. You hear me?" Theodore said giving up.

We made our way through the hole in the gate and towards town, when we got to the pub it was a lot worse than I expected. There was tons of smoke from cigars in the room and it reeked of puke and body odor, Theodore started to push me up the counter to order a drink, they all seemed so gross, there was Pirates Brew, Vipers Venom (with actual snake venom), and Frog Saliva (thank the lord that there wasn't actually saliva in it). So I order Pirates Brew, which is just beer, it tasted weird but I drank it anyways.

A middle-aged man that was maybe 5 years older than my dad was staring at me, my brothers noticed how uncomfortable I was and then noticed the man staring at me, they all approached the man and asked him if he had a problem because if not he was about to have one with his face if he kept on staring at young girls.

They came back and a guy walked into the bar, while the man was practically running out of the door, he ran into the young man walking in, he looked about 18, maybe 19. He was tall with piercing eyes that made me almost jump out of my skin when he looked at me, he had blonde almost white hair, and a very cocky kind of grin, he had probably the highest cheekbones that I've ever seen but he had a long deep scar across the side of his beautiful face.

When my brothers noticed me pretty much drooling over the guy they just started laughing like maniacs, "You like him?" said Colton trying to calm down with tears of laughter in his eyes.

I did, but I couldn't tell them that, so instead I looked them all dead in the eyes with my half intoxicated self, grabbed my beer and walked over to that gorgeous man and said "Hello, I'm Diana and you're gorgeous." then I realized what I just said, oh goodness his face was priceless.

"Um... hello, my real name is Simon Boulitzfa." he said. Simon was such a suiting name for him.

We talked till dawn, then I had to head back to the castle, at least he told me where he lives. On our way back my brothers were giving eachother looks as if to say "Tell her!"

"What? What is it that none of you want to tell me?!" I asked very tired.

"You told that man in there a lie." Brody said. "It's not right to do that sis."

Now I understood, they thought that morality was important. "I'm sorry. If I ever see him again, I'll tell him the truth." I said trying not to be sarcastic, what where the chances that I would ever see him again? 1 in 1000000? Whatever.

We snuck back in and went into our separate rooms, hours later I was waken up to get ready for the masquerade. My dress was made of satin and was deep purple, it was studded with gems of all colors, and it had a mask to match. After I got ready I was rushed to the balcony looking down on the ballroom floor so that my father could announce the 'Awakened Princess'.
