[IC] the supernatural costume ball

[underworldqueen]

Brandon looked at Elizabeth "do you want to change into something else or are you okay?" he asked her

"thank you James" she says

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth shrugged a bit.

James shook his head.
"I do not deserve it, but you are welcome."

[underworldqueen]

He looked at her "and what does the shrug suppose to mean?" he asked "if you want to change say it and we will wait outside, Kali can help you" he told her

Kali smiled at Elizabeth and Brandon "im not sure what we are going to do" she says to them "elizabeth how are you?" she asked

[Vampiretwilight]

"It means I don't care."
Elizabeth, then, looked at kali. She shrugged again.

James held kalis' hand.

[underworldqueen]

he nodded "okay" he says. he looks at james "so where are you taking my sister?" he asked.

kali looked at brandon then to james. she wasnt sure what was going on and she waited.

[Vampiretwilight]

James raised an eyebrow.
"The main hall and then the ballroom. My mother will be here by tonight after all."

Elizabeth squeezed brandons' hand tightly.

[underworldqueen]

he nodded and brought her hand up and kissed it and gave her a smile. "you ready for more dancing Liz?" he asked her

She was neverous about later. She walks over to the door "well what are we waiting for?" she asked them

[Vampiretwilight]

James nodded and led kali back down there.

Elizabeth managed a faint smile and followed brandon back down there.

[underworldqueen]

he walks with Elizabeth and he leans towards to whisper in her ear as they walk "is that a smile i see?" he asked "i beautiful smile that lights up your face" he told her

Kali walked with james back downstairs. She glanced at James a few times "so when i meet your mother do i bow shake her hand ?" she asked him

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth shrugged and walked.

James bit his lip.
"You'll see when you meet her. Trust me."

[underworldqueen]

"you are no help" she says "its like you want me to make a fool of myself" she frowned.

Brandon rolled his eyes "back to shrugging" he says "you are frustrating" he says

[Vampiretwilight]

james hugged her.
"I meant that I don't think you'll have much to worry about. I promise."

Elizabeth blinked and frowned. she let go of his hand and turned around to head back upstairs.

[underworldqueen]

Brandon looked as elizabeth turned and went back upstairs. he looked at Kali "stay there, i will be back" he says and went after her. he caught up to her in the hallway and stopped her by taking her hand gently. "Liz hold up please" he says

Kali turned her head to her brother and wondered what had happened and nodded. She looked at James "easy for you to say" she says to him.

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth looked at him. Her eyes were narrowed.

James held her close.
"I know my mother better than anyone."

[underworldqueen]

He watches her "say what your thinking Elizabeth" he says to her

Kali sighs "i know you do, but im asking you for help and your not giving me any" she says to him.

[Vampiretwilight]

James sighed.
"Yes I am. I'm trying to tell you that you are working too hard too impress and to just be yourself. She hates suck ups."

Elizabeth sighed.
"You were making me mad....again."

[underworldqueen]

she growled and balled her fists in frustration. "no im not, im trying to understand your world" she says "i dont want to make a fool of me or my family" she says " i want to make a good first impression, you only get one" she says to him

"good" he says to her "i want to hear your thoughts Liz good or bad" he told her "i get tired of eye rolls and shrugs, but to know what your thinking to communicate with me your feelings is what i want" he told her. "so stop running away and speak your mind to me"

[Vampiretwilight]

"i doubt if my mother will care what family you come from. If she knew your father, she'd have arranged this match just to get you away from him."
James told her. He blinked when a form suddenly appeared nearby. He cursed under his breath.

"Hello, James."
James sighed and greeted his mother.

"No one ever cared enough to ask anything of the sort!"
Elizabeth teared up.
"I don't know how to react or respond! You can't expect me to change so quickly!"

[underworldqueen]

he touches her cheek softly brushes his thumb on her cheek and kisses her lips "dont cry mouse" he says in a whisper. "breaks my heart to see you cry" he told her "then i'm glad im the first" he says "but just tell me what your thinking, not knowing is what frustrates me" he says to her

kali was listening to him then heard a voice. She turned and saw a women standing there. she watched James greet the women and she stayed quiet. she waited for james to introduce her.

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth sniffed. She hid her face in his chest. She managed a nod.
"....al....alright."

James took a breath.
"Mother, this is.."
His mother cut him off.

"This must be Kali! Oh, it's nice to finally meet you!"
The woman shook Kalis' hand.
