Lilith's P.O.V.

Finishing with our second movie we get up off the sofa to start getting ready. We both head to my room as it is the bigger of the two rooms and it makes it easier for us to help each other get ready. Having dragged a chair into my bathroom I sit there as Kate does my hair. Curling my already wavy locks with the curling iron. When she finishes curling my hair, she turns off the curling iron setting it down. Once she does, she starts to skillfully braid my hair. Making two braids one on each side of the head she ties off the hair of both braids off together with a hair tie at the back of my head. "What do you think?"

"I love it. Thank you, Kate."

"Of course, now it's your turn to do my hair."

Chuckling I get up out of the chair letting Kate sit there now, so that I can do Kate's hair. Moving behind her I start to do her hair. Twisting and pinning strands as I curl some and straighten others. When I finish, I make sure to spray it with hair spray, so that it doesn't start coming undone. "There we go all done."

Kate looks at herself in the mirror a massive smile spreading across her face. "Oh, Lil it is perfect. You have really out done yourself this time."

Wringing my hands, I can feel my cheeks turn a pink with embarrassment. "Oh, I don't know about all of that. I did okay maybe."

Kate turns around to face me crossing her arms as she lets out a huff. "Nope don't bring down your work. Come on now say I did an amazing job."

I can feel my cheeks get darker as I mutter it under my breath. "Lil..."

Whining slightly in complaint I give in and speak up. "I did an amazing job."

"That's right you did. Now let's do our make-up."

Having a lot of counter space in my bathroom we both do start to do our own make up. Kate doing an elegant smoky cat eye with a glossy fire truck red lipstick. While I did a simple double flick with dark green eyeshadow that has red undertones. Which I pair with a light matte berry lipstick as I didn't want to draw as much attention as Kate. "You are really amazing with make-up Lil."

"So are you though Kate."

"Yeah, but I can't do all that. At least not as well as you."

My face turns red yet again at the compliment especially when I can hear Ali chuckle at me. "Okay I'm going to put my dress on. I'll be back once I got it on because I will need your help zipping it up."

"Okay I'll need your help as well with my zipper and clasp too anyway."

Grinning Kate scampers off to her room closing the door to my bedroom door behind her. 'You know that she isn't wrong Lilith.'

'About what?'

'That you are actually really good at hair and make-up. Even though you prefer not to do anything extra for yourself normally.'

'You know why I do though.'

'I know that doesn't mean people can't appreciate the skills that you have. You have a lot of talent Lil with a lot of things.'

'Okay okay I get it Ali now I have to get dressed.'

Heading to my closest I pull my dress out of there. Taking it out of the bag I lay it carefully out on the bed. Removing my current outfit carefully, so that I don't ruin my make-up and hair. Slipping on my dress I zip it up as far as I can without help before adjusting what needs to be adjusted. When as if on cue there is a soft knock on the door. "Are you decent?"

"Yes, I am come on in."

Kate opens the door to my room and steps in wearing a beautiful black dress. The dress being fitted perfectly to her body until it goes past her hips. As it does hug her hips it becomes flowy the rest of the way down. It has a slit that goes up to her mid-thigh. While her dress also has long sleeves that rest off her shoulders showing off her collarbone and shoulders. Her dress being paired with a pair of matching black heels. "Oh, wow Kate you look stunning."

"Really you think, so? You don't think it is too much?"

"Of course, it's not too much it is just right for you. But you would never catch me in something like that though."

Kate chuckles as she walks over and turns around, so that her back is facing me. Her dress' zipper being slightly unzipped as the clap on the end of the zipper remains undone. Zipping it up the rest of the way I clasp it afterwards for her. "There we go all done."

With her dress now fully secured Kate gives me a playful spin showing over her dress. "Alright alright now it's your turn to zip me up."

Walking back over to me Kate brushes some of my hair out of the way as she zips up and secures my dress. Once she does, I make sure everything looks right when Kate speaks up. "So what shoes are you going to wear?"

Going to my closet I pull out a pair of black ankle wedge sock boots. "Oh, I was thinking about wearing these."

"Oh yes I like those a lot. Now what about that necklace you told me about. I want to see."

Chuckling I slip on my shoes first before heading to the small jewelry box on my nightstand. Opening it I pull out the necklace I wanted to wear. It being a simple platinum necklace with a teardrop emerald that is two and half carats. Which has a one carat round cut diamond set right above the emerald. The necklace being very simple yet very elegant as it had belonged to my mother. "Wasn't that your mother's necklace?"

"Yeah, it is."

"Are you sure about wearing it? You've always refused to wear."

"I know I can't really explain it, but it just feels right to wear it today."

"Strange."

Chuckling I roll my eyes at this. "Yeah, a bit. Now we should head out, so that we aren't late."

"Right let's go then."

Grabbing a clutch purse that matches with my dress I stick my phone and wallet in it. Satisfied that I am not forgetting anything I head out after Kate to her car. Once we are both in the car Kate drives us to the pride house it being a very short drive. Finding our parking spot, we get out Kate locking the door behind her as we head inside with everyone else. Walking around the ball room we start to search for our table after some searching, we quickly find the table with our names on it. Taking our seats, we settle down as people continue to wander in and settle down. Once everyone from our pride settles in and has taken their seats the King of our pride Anthony and his mate our Queen Stephanie walk in. Along with their second in command and her mate together the four sit down at the largest table which has three remaining empty chairs once they sit down. "Huh that is odd."

"What is odd?"

"There are three empty chairs."

"Hm I don't maybe it's some kind of mistake."

Humming slightly, I perk up when the members of the Dark Sun pride enter the room. Making the whole room fall into an uncomfortable silence as they find their seats. Though they don't sit making everyone confused as they remain standing next to their chairs. Once they all file in they all remain standing as three sets of footsteps echo within the silent room. Though unable to see them I tense up when two familiar scents. "Lil you, okay?"

"It's him."
