Introduction
That was the only decision there was once upon a time: what to do with the night.
Beauty
Wealth
Mystery
Allure
Murder
Creatures of the Night
and
Characters
-Characters do not have to be Vampires.
***HOWEVER, If you are a vampire- you are not invincible. The Sun will kill you. Silver will kill you. Stake through the heart; dead. Rip off your head; dead. Burn you alive; Dead. You need blood. Vegetarians are welcome, but rare. No sparkling.
- There are a few abandoned human characters that can be adopted if anyone is interested. Their descriptions are very vague to let you grow the character in whatever direction you choose.
-I really like to give everyone creative freedom, so feel free to add powers or anything else you wish.
- Add a little back story to your characters- this party is for those with power and wealth
- Pictures are always fun

"Dear Brother Clade, Are you Okay?" I asked looking at him worried.
Hearing my name being called snapped me out of my thoughts as I wiped my head to the women sitting infront of me as we rode over a bump in the rode, "I'm fine sister Clare, I'm just thinking.." I said biting my lips as my fangs began to show a little, I looked out the window wondering way in the hell were we going to a damn masquerade.
"Fine?, You seem..Stress or worried.." I said looking out the window also, "But If you don't wish to talk, I shall not bug you.." I said ending the conversation, I looked down at my silk long red dress and put on my black Masquerade mask crossing my legs and my heels hit the floor a little.
Seeing Clare put her Mask on, I decided to place mines on also, I tugged down my tie and rested my head every so slightly that I closed my eyes, quickly opening them up again, I saw our destination, "Shall we?" I said smirking as she locked eyes with me
"We shall" I said as we still rode holding my Twin brothers hand
Later that night, they appeared in front of a large castle-like house. The doors in front of them were massive. "Are you sure this is where you want to go? Something about this place feels... off," Adam said. He knew Danielle wouldn't give it up. Once she was set on something, it was happening. All he could do was follow and try his best to keep her out of trouble. "At least she has me around to look after her," he thought. He waited for Danielle to knock on the door and see what happened next.

The setting changes from Billards Room to Starling Estate
Many of the guests she has not met. Miss. Starling has kept a constant watch for any supernatural activity among the world's elite. She wants to offer her sprawling estate as a sanctuary and Coven for the wealthiest and most powerful of the world's Vampires. All the names on the guest list were collected due to their already status of the night, or their potential at joining the Coven.
----------------------------------------
Rain stands in front of her long mirror admiring the dress she had bought for tonight she has pressed against her. Simply Flawless, she thought. She tucked a fallen curl before placing her beautiful lace mask over her blacked out eye shadow and smearing a deep plum on her moist lips.
*KNOCK, KNOCK*
The door opens to one of he help, letting Miss. Starling know that more guests are arriving by the minute.
She smiled. Well, what are you waiting for, Darling?.... Let them in!."
The man smiled and ran off to open the massive doors and let them flood through the hall to the Ballroom.
Taking a final glance at herself once again in the mirror Rain began making her way toward the quickly filling ballroom.
The massive sprawling ballroom is filled with the warmness of the fireplace and the quickness of the Charleston, as the thousands of guests dine and dance in every corner of the room. Famous singers, actresses, dancers, millionaires, politicians and royalty all together in celebration of lust and wealth.
"Dear Brother, No miss behaving" I said nudging his shoulder and smirking,"she's probably not in your age group anyway" We walked up the steps and entered the massive room, it was amazing I tell you, I saw food also...Sweets, I just hoped Chocolate wasn't on the list
I licked my lips hungrily, seeing all the humans walking I craved foe blood I shook my head trying to control my self from freaking out, I bit my lip harder and harder drawing blood, "So many people Clare...I don't think I can control myself.." I said to my sister looking down at her whispering afraid of what I would do.
"Its Okay.." I said softly gripping his hand, "We are gonna split up, see what I can see before the night ends I want this night to be something I never forget.." I said to my brother walking away, "Be safe, and be careful..if anything happens..." I started knowing he would finish what I was gonna say.
"Whistle" I said watching my sister walk away, I looked around myself and adjusted my mask going deeper into the crowd seeing women who danced and some who eyed me which creeper me out, I think they were flirting with me...

Adam found his way to the ballroom and scanned the crowd for his younger sister. Once he spotted her, he took a seat along the wall and made sure to keep her in his sight. There were too many other vampires there. If they were all human, he'd let her stay in there by herself while he explored a little. However, these creatures were not so weak. He'd definitely have to keep tabs on her. "Babysitting gets a little boring sometimes." he thought to himself.
Danielle headed straight for the crowd. Everyone was so full of energy. It was as if she could feed off of it to keep herself going. She began dancing as close to the middle as she could get. "I've never been around so many of my kind before. I've only ever had Adam." She lost herself in the music and kept dancing.
The setting changes from Starling Estate to Romania
Thank you all for attending my little get together this evening. she beamed.
Please make yourself comfortable, enjoy the wine and remember...Anything you could ever want will be at your fingertips, Darlings.
Just then, the band began to play again, taking the attention and spotlight from her and to a gorgeous young woman in an emerald gown who sang like an angel.
Rain morphed into the crowd of people, dancing and making small talk with anyone she passed by.
As soon as she was done speaking, the music started up again and everyone began dancing. She picked up on the energy of the people around her and matched it to the sound of the music. Once again, she lost herself in it.
Adam was particularly interested in the hostess of the grand party. As soon as she was done speaking, he stood up and made his way into the crowd. His eyes stayed focused on her. It wasn't long before he was able to catch up with her. "Excuse me, Miss. I assume you are the hostess of this extravagant party. My name is Adam," he said in a very polite tone. Adam was curious as to how she knew about him and his sister and why she invited them to her party. He assumed the latter question was because she knew they were vampires. What he didn't understand was how she knew. "This woman seems to have a lot of money. I wonder what kind of connections she has and how many others here are familiar with her."
"Hello Miss" Clare started kinda shy rubbing her arm and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "Thank you for inviting me and my brother here to the ball" she bowed making sure her mask wouldn't fall of, she looked at the women since Clare herself was short she was around 5'3 in height, "Why did you invite me and my brother to this party" she asked more like a demand in a serious tone noticing a young man also talking to her.
Oh, I do hope you are having a marvel.... She began before being interrupted by two of her other guests.
She turned around from the group of loud drunks with a smile. Immediately, she had to adjust her gaze in order to see the small female and then look back up again for the man beside her.
Why did you invite me and my brother to this party?
The hostility in the female's voice caused the smile to slowly melt off Rain's face, before quickly spreading again.
She wrapped her arms around the girl in an embrace meant to make her feel safe.
Little suspicious are we, my darling? Have something to hide? She giggled, flashing her fangs.
Do not worry. You are safe. Enjoy the party. All will reveal itself in time. She gave her another huge smile before blinking up to the man in front of her.
You're hair is simply the Cat's Pajama's, darling...
Meanwhile, Dani was chatting it up with anyone who was willing to carry out a conversation with her. It was weird having a bunch of other vampires in the same place, especially a party. She had only ever been in dance clubs full of humans. A couple of which her and her brother would target and make a meal out of later in the night. She came a cross a guy that was staring at a girl near the hostess. "Hi! My name is Dani," she said with a big smile on her face.
"...um, Hi Dani..." Clade said not sure what to say, "I'm Clade, a little happy are we?" she said smirking at the girl and chuckling on how excited she looked, "I'm taken your happy about the Masquerade" he added to his comment.
Please... she urged, handing the chalices to both of them. Have a grand time. I will meet you both....with your siblings, of course... in the Library to continue the questions and answers....BUT, later, my darlings. I need a few more drinks in me, and quite a bit more dancing before I am ready for the serious talk. She laughed, grabbing herself a full glass and taking a long drink.
Her eyes remained closed as she slowly pulled the cup from her plum lips with a lick. Mmmm...Handsome Young Aristocratic Male....My favorite... she beamed and turned, pushing further into the huge crowd, dancing and mingling with more of her guests.
Moving quickly through the crowd he watched as a male vampire poured a dark coloured liquid into one of the blood bottles, sniffing quickly Arturo could tell,that the bottle was laced with poison. Lunging forward he grabbed the vampires wrist snapping it out of place and growling deeply. He checked the other bottles in case they had been sabotaged, luckily it was only one. He picked up the bottle and dragged the struggling vampire to Rain. He bowed his head as a sign of respect " Miss Starling. A bottle has been poisoned " he held up the bottle and pushed forward the Vampire in question digging his hand into his broken wrist. " here is the culprit. What are your wishes Miss?" He asked bowing his head again growling softly.
" Miss Starling. A bottle has been poisoned. Here is the culprit. What are your wishes Miss?"
Oh my...well, that's no good is it?... She calmly said looking from the male to the bottle and then around at some of the gawking guests.
Arturo, my darling, please take this fine gentlemen to the Billiards room, I think he will be more comfortable there, don't you think? she said with a sideways glance at Arturo that said...."Wait to kill him."
I'll personally bring him something to make him feel better.... she smiled before heading toward the ball room doors.
Upon reaching the doors, she turned to look over the crowd one more time before slipping into the long darkened hallway and up the spiral stairs.
He threw the man down into a chair, he stood behind the chair and held onto the males shoulder, applying the slightest ammount of pressure to cause the most pain. " now we wait, I bet your wishing you didn't taint this bottle. Do you?" He asked growling fiercely. At least his mistress was safe now. Safe from harm, safe with him being there for her.
Damn Americans....How very rude...I invite him to one of the largest and exclusive parties of the year and....he tries to kill me she thought with a hiss. Oh well, Arturo will have fun with him... I do love to see him smile... she thought before shaking away the idea and focusing on the way she planned to let Arturo end him. She giggled at the thought as she made it to the closed Billiard's room door, and lightly knocked. Scanning the hall for watching eyes, Rain silently opened the door and slid inside.
Arturo already had the male in one of the rooms cushioned armed chairs, his muscled arms keeping her 'guest' in place.
Now, Arthur....Why can't you ever play nice? she asked slowly strolling toward them both.
I honestly am bored of this. I'm done playing this little game of yours. Let's just end and call me the winner, okay? she said in a calm a polite tone with a comforting smile on her face.
Arthur looked at her with a look of relief, as if she had just told him not to even worry about the entire situation. She laughed a hearty laugh and looked to Arturo.
Make Confetti of him, my Darling. I need something to sprinkle on the crowd during the fireworks... she giggled at her sick joke before turning and leaving the room to the pleading sounds of Arthur, that was quickly silenced with a snap.
"Of course I'm happy. I love parties. Being alone isn't any fun at all," Danielle said just as her brother approached. She grinned at him. "And this is my brother, Adam. He doesn't party much." Adam lightly nudged her arm for the comment and gave a slight nod in the direction of the other male.
Before anything else could be said, a male vampire was grabbed by what appeared to be a werewolf. "So the hostess has a guard dog on duty. That should not surprise me," Adam thought. Even Danielle turned and watched as the man was hauled away by the strong beast. He confronted the hostess who appeared to instruct the canine to bring the man to a certain place. "Poisoning the drinks? I don't understand why anyone would do such a thing at an event like this one," Adam thought again. "What an eventful night this one is turning out to be," he said to both Dani and the other male.
She headed toward the open ball room doors, passing drunk couples,drinks in hand, sprawled all over one another in every nook and cranny shadow. She smiled. She was happy everyone was enjoying themselves. The blood bottles had been mixed with heavy Romanian Liquor, as to ensure an even better time for everyone. The noise of the party engulfed any other sound in the long hall. At the doors stood another gentleman with a tray. Don't mind if I do!... she exclaimed grabbing a glass and drinking half of it. She immediately burped a tiny hiccup into her hand with an embarrassed giggle. The servant laughed and patted her on the back. She grinned.
I need to dance....I need someone to dance with....Someone....handsome. she slurred to herself. She wasn't drunk yet, but she definitely was having a good time. She passed through the door way and twirled her way to the dance floor. The Angel in the emerald gown began her musical decent to a slow ballad, and Rain hugged her arms around herself and swayed and twirled, her eyes closed, and a smile on her face.
Clare growled from the sudden touch and put her strands of hair back where they were in the beginning, she whistled for her brothers location, " Dear Brother where are you.." she said to herself walking around
Clade quickly heard the whistle and whistled back to his sister saying where he was and waving his hand in the air, "Speaking of the Devil here she comes" he said jokingly
Clare saw her brother and ran up to him, seeing him with another girl and that same boy, "Dear Brother Clade, we must talk in a few minutes I have something's about the' Hostess'" Clare said to Clade
Clade nodded, "Of course" he said, "These are some people I met, This is Dani and her brother Adam, be nice Clare, this is my sister Clare aka my Twin" Clade said
"We have met" She said talking about Adam, "But I haven't met you" she said looking at Dani, "Nice to meet you" she said smiling softly at Dani, "You look amazing" she said trying to start a conversation.
A few sincere 'hello's' and 'nice to see you!' were inevitable, but she was most prepared for the raised brows and talk about her. After all most people named her murderer thinking she was the one who killed her creator so that all his wealth would have been hers. But she pushed that aside, because above all she had to admit she enjoyed the attention and the slight fear that clicked in most peoples eyes as she walked by.
To make matters worse she'd give them a devilish smirk, even a few winks to the women to send them completely off their high horses."It's good to be me.." She chuckled adjusting her dark blue mask, the peacock feathers pointing out in all directions, even a few were assorted in her gorgeous curled golden hair that evening.
She helped keep Rain alive with her crazy shenanigans and adventures. Grabbing two glasses from a gentleman with a tray standing on the edge of the crowd, her eyes brightened and she skipped toward the woman.
Pippa, My Darling! she exclaimed the glasses extended outward.
She handed the full glass to Pippa, and lowered her other outreached hand.
Pippa Darling, how have you been? I haven't seen you in ages. Why must you leave me here in this giant place alone? [b] She made a pouting face at Pippa as she wrapped her arm around Pippa's.
[b] It's Winter in the mountains. I'm bored.... Rain beamed.

"Oh my sweet, Rain. I never leave for long, plus you know i always come back with juicy stories to keep you at bay." The vampire said with a small smirk tugging at the corner of her lips as she took the glass extended out to her, letting the taste simmer over her tongue before she swallowed it. A quiet laugh then escaping as she heard her friend whine as to how bored she was,"You must come on my next adventures to France. Honestly they're is just something sweeter about the mens blood there." Pippa coo'ed slightly, winking at Rain.
