A New Start

Ch 15: Dress Shopping??

I hadn't stopped crying scene Ana had left to deliver my answer and terms to her master Kaleb. My thoughts kept going back to all that Kaleb has done in his quest to posses me. He has killed Blade And turned Ana. Hell he has probably done a hell of a lot more that I have no knowledge of. Kaleb was a monster and had his mind set on one thing, possessing me. I no longer have any chose in the matter. I must give in to Kaleb. For if I don't many more people I love will fall, just as two already have. With my head spinning with many thoughts I heard the phone ringing. I looked over at the phone not wanting to answer already knowing who would be on the other line.

I ever so slowly inched to the phone until finally I reached it. I then picked up the phone and said hello. To my shock it wasn't Kaleb's Voice I herd, but that of my grandma. She told me she was calling to see how my mother and I were doing after her rotten son had left us. I answered by saying that it has been a very bumpy road but that we were doing fine. Yes I know I am a horrible person for lying to her, but the truth wasn't the best thing to tell her at the moment. After 20 mintues my grandma said she had to go because she was running late for bingo.

Once I put the phone down it once again started ringing. I picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

"Hello my dearest Sage. My little doggie said you wanted me to call you," Said the voice.

I couldn't help but gasp when I heard his voice. I may have known that he was going to call but it still took me by surprise. I took a deep breath and answered, "Yes Kaleb I did want you to call me."

"Oh and why is that," He asked.

"Well if you are going to go on a real date I need to know when, where, and what time," I answered.

Kaleb stayed silent of a moment then replied, "Tomorrow night is the fourth of July, and because of that the city of Mailbu is holding a masquerade ball dance thing on the board walk. I want you to go with me to it."

"Okay I will go with you. Where do you want to met and what time," I Stated.

"I will be picking you up at your house tomorrow nigh at 8:00," He told me.

"Okay Kaleb I will see you then," I replied as I hung up the phone. After talking to Kaleb I made my way up to my room. When I finally reached the top I ever so slowly walked over to my bed and got in to it and fell fast asleep.

The Malibu sun was beating on my back as I walked down the street. I found myself lost in thoughts of Kaleb. I was about to reach the beached when I was stopped by a girl with curly brown hair and deep bluish green eyes. She was wearing a green shirt with baggy blue jeans. Her beautiful eyes were blocked by her glasses. I stared and her with a confused looked. She gave me a hurt look and said, "Damn Sage you already forgot your best friend. I mean I know you moved away and all but its only been a month." As she spoke those words recognition hit me.

I started to squeal in delight as I reconized my best friend Tori aka Bunny. I looked at her and said, "Of corse I didn't forget my BFF. Bunny, what are you doing here in Santa Carla!"

She grabbed me in a super size hug as she answered, "Your mom called me the other day. She was worried about you. She asked my mom if I could come down for the weekend to spend sometime with you, and of corse my mom said yes. So now here I am."

"Bunny I am so glade to see you, and I have so much to tell you, but first will you go dress shopping with me," I asked.

Bunny gave me a funny look and said, "Of corse I will, But why do u need to go dress shopping? You barely ever wear dresses."

"Well I have a date tonight, and he is taking me to a fourth of July masquerade ball on the board walk. The only problem is I have nothing for a masquerade ball," I stated.

Bunny grabbed my hand and said, "Well love looks like we will have to go and fix that." I couldn't help but laugh as we started to walk away.

We had passed many stores until we found one with dresses, shoes, masks, and jewelry. Once we entered the store Bunny let out a yelp of excitement. I looked over just in time to see her running over to a dress that had a bow on the breast area. It was also black in the middle with dark green at the bottom and top. I gave her a funny look and said, "Bunny I don't think that would look good on me."

She laugh and replied, "Silly its not for you its for me. Did you really think I would let you go off to a masked ball and leave me at home to sit around?"

My jaw dropped as she said this. I gave her a confused look and said, "So your going on my date with me."

She laughed even harder and said, "No you are going for your date. I am going to have fun while I am here. Hell I might even met a guy."

I looked at her and said, "Bunny are boys all you think about."

She replied, "No I also think of chocolate and getting myself a green bunny."

I laughed at her and stated to walk away. That's when I saw it the most breath taking royal blue dress. As I got closer I could see that it had black lace ruffle that peeks out in the skirt of the dress, and the sleeves of the dress were also made of the same black lace. I picked up the dress and held it to my body. As I did I looked in to a mirror and knew this was meant to be my dress. Moments later Bunny came over and said the same thing. With our dresses in hand we went to get shoes. I got a pair of royal blue heels and Bunny got a pair of forest green pumps. The last things we needed were the masks. The mask I got was black laced with blue in the middle by the nose. To top it off it had black and blue feathers at the top. Bunny's mask was green with black beads around the edges, but hers had a single peacock feather on it.

We were about to leave when Bunny suddenly stops me. She point over to the display case and says, "Sage look at these necklaces they are gorges."

I look to were her finger is pointing to find two heart shaped necklaces, but one is a royal blue and the other is an emerald green. I Looked at her and say, "Fine we will get them, but I buy the green one for you, and you buy the blue one for me deal."

Bunny noded her head yes. Once we paid for all the items we went back to my house to get ready. When we finally reached my house I let Bunny do my hair and make-up. Once she was finished I walked over to my mirror to see that she had curled my hair to look some what like hers. After I was finished with the mirror I finally went over and put on my dress, shoes, mask, and lastly necklace. When I was Already I looked at the clock and saw it was 7:50. With a silent sigh I walked over to Bunny to find her dressed and ready to go. As soon the clock changed to 8:00 I heard a knock at my door. As I opened the door I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement for what was about to happened.
