"What about Rio?" Yuri asked, "Does this mean he'll be Demon 2? He has such a minor role." She was a little sad. She had thought that she would have been able to interact with the lead singer of Fallen Angels more.
Although Shawn was pretty handsome, Rio had a different type of beauty that was out of this world. There was a reason his moniker was 'Dark Angel'.
"You're correct," Sarah Lee said, "But that's only for the first music video. In 'Bring Me to Life' he has a much bigger role, but we will discuss that later. I'll take you both to the dressing room so you can start looking at the script while your makeup and outfits are."
"Yes!" Valentina and Yuri both said while Shawn simply nodded and pulled out his phone. He had already gone through the script so many times, he just wanted it to be over with.
"Sarah, I'll go find Rio," Shawn said before nodding to the women and heading out.
Valentina quickly gathered her things before following Yuri and Sarah to the dressing room. As she walked, she could see Yuri sneaking a glance at her every so often but when she tried to catch her eye, the girl looked away.
What a weirdo Valentina thought.
They quickly arrived at the dressing room and both she and Yuri sat down at a make-up station where two unfamiliar makeup artists stood waiting. Valentina gently placed her bag down and greeted the older woman by her station.
"Hello, I'm Valentina. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Yes hello. I'm Toni your makeup artist for the day.
I've been told to glam you right up so let's get started."
Valentina sat in the chair and wanted to reread the script she had been given, but before she could start, a soft voice interrupted her.
"Hey. You."
Valentina looked over and saw that it was Yuri speaking.
"Yes, you. I'm letting you know that I know how you got this role. Instead of auditioning like the rest of us, you decided to go through the back door." Yuri glared at her in anger. Although she sounded angry, her little face was so round and cute that Valentina couldn't really take her seriously.
"How does it impact you how I got the role?" Valentina was a bit irritated. She hadn't done anything to this girl, so she wasn't sure why she was attacking her out of the blue.
"My friend was supposed to get that role, it was just that by the time she was free to audition you had already taken it. I've never even heard of you before so there's no way you should have gotten this role. You...you... industry plant!" the last bit burst out and Valentina saw that Yuri had jumped out of her seat.
Valentina rolled her eyes before softly saying, "If you have questions as to how I got the role, feel free to go ask Ms. Sarah Lee. As to your friend missing the audition and therefore the role, that's her problem, not mine. Whatever problems you have with me, I suggest you leave them out here instead of when we're filming. Now get back in your seat so your makeup artist can do their job" Valentina lightly retorted.
Finished speaking, she lifted the script and continued reading it, completely ignoring the girl next to her. Although she didn't like to fight with people, that didn't mean that she was a pushover.
The next 2 hours went quickly as the artist applied makeup and a blond wig to her. She was then dressed in white flowing clothes and a pair of heeled white sandals that were tied up with ribbons.
When Valentina looked at herself in the mirror, she could barely recognize herself.
Her hair was now a straight, platinum-blond wig that fell past her waist. They had given her slight bangs that framed her face and a half-up half-down hairstyle. The makeup artist had done her makeup lightly and given her an almost ethereal look with shimmers and gloss. Her skin was the perfect complexion with hints of peachy blush and seemed to be glowing while her eyes shone like the clearest emeralds. The stylists had covered her lashes and eyebrows in a white-blond color as well, so she looked like a being carved from shimmering crystal.
She wore a slim-fitted white dress and although the dress had a lot of frills, there were strategic ribbons that helped highlight her slender figure and long limbs. As she walked, long pieces of fabric would float around her as if there was an invisible wind circling her. Someone else would have gotten tangled in the strips, but they made her look elegant. They had also given her a prop sword that rested on her hip. All in all, she looked like an angelic beauty, not of the earth.
As she walked towards the set, she caught a glimpse of Yuri standing with the director and two men. She was also dressed in white, but she had more of a princess-style dress. She was the perfect image of a cherubic beauty with long honey-blond hair that fell in perfect ringlets around her and bright blue eyes. She was also in in flat sandals that had lots of ribbons which gave her a sporty yet cute look. She looked bright and cheerful as she laughed with the people around her until she caught sight of Valentina and stopped.
Valentina didn't say anything as she slowly walked towards Sarah Lee. As she got closer, she recognized that one of the men was Shawn while the other was someone new.
He had black hair draped to his shoulder, red eyes, and a cross earring in one ear which contrasted with his honey skin tone. He was quite tall too, standing a bit taller than Shawn who towered over Yuri and Sarah.
Dressed in slim black leather pants and a fitted black jacket with chains all over, his physique was highlighted, and gave up a demonic prince of darkness aura. His expression was cold and aloof as he looked at the people surrounding him. She noticed that he and Shawn were wearing very similar outfits, but his aura made him stand out. Suddenly, they all turned to stare at her.
Valentina began to feel a bit nervous and tried to walk a bit faster, but her ankle suddenly twisted in the high heels, and she could feel herself falling forward.
