17 - Whisper of Light

Next was my turn. She sat me down and started working on my hair first of all. She pulled out a dark blue spray and coloured my hair a combination of black and blue, giving it an almost transition effect. She then did dark makeup for me and finally gave me a dress along with gloves, stockings and boots. For a long, long time, we kept clicking pictures until the point that she got a call. She took the call outside and came in to tell me it was some urgent work but it'll take less than an hour so, to just wait around because 'arson archery' will happen soon.

Feeling awkward in her room without her being there, I decided to leave. Wandering around, I kept finding things that seemed oddly familiar but I couldn't place them. Finally, I came across huge doors and opened them as quietly as possible. It was a huge ballroom with typical chandeliers, columns and lights. But it was dark so I couldn't see much. Suddenly, it hit me. It was the same ballroom in my mother's pictures.
