Vampire Strikes

Lucretia picked up her violin to play



Ethan smiled 'goodmorning, tea?'

Pandora nodded, "Yes please"

Lucretia just played, its not like anyone in the house wanted her or anything


Ethan passed her a cup smiling 'today we shall relax, we have plans tonight'

Pandora nodded smiling, "I like that" she replied as she sipped at her tea.

Lucretia stood up slowly as she played, her music was dark it told her emotions, emotions her face could not show



Ethan smiled 'parties are popular this week'

Pandora smiled, "Its not so bad"

Lucretia played her hearts content


Ethan stood up 'i think i will retire to my study for awhile'

Pandora nodded, "I will be around the house"

Lucretia just played, she was lonely, she was sad



Ethan just walked away to his study

Pandora sighed, now what was she to do. Pandora moved into the living room where the piano was and sat down brushing her fingers against the keys before she started to play.

Lucretia was just playing her sad song

Pandora played her song which was rather light and happy, her hands moved across the piano like second nature. Pandoras father had taught her how to play and for that reason she loved it.

the hours rolled by and Maria had been running around the house ordering the maids to put certain things here or there, telling the footmen their jobs and the head butler was helping her be generally mean to the servants

Pandora had played on the piano throughout those hours and soon she stopped, she thought maybe to go find her father.

Maria had ordered her daughter to wear a very overly flamboyant dress, Lucretia was now in her room sighing as she had to get ready



Ethan had already sent a maid to fetch Pandora and dress her for the party

The Maid had the dress prepared and smiled at Lucretia, "Come now miss time to get ready"



Pandora walked through the halls.

Lucretia nodded and just let the maid dress her



the maid bowed 'miss, can you follow me, i have to get you ready for the party tonight'

The Maid started to change her in silence.



PAndora smiled, "Of course" she followed the maid back to her room.

Lucretia knew that if she stepped one foot out of line tonight she was dead, so she had to act her best




the maid had lain out her clothes 'does this suit your taste this evening miss?'

The Maid had soon got her dressed, she bowed her head "Your mother requests you to see her before the party"




Pandora nodded smiling "Its beautiful"

Lucretia nodded and checked herself in the mirror



'well we dont have long' the maid smiled holding up the dress 'so lets change you'

The Maid opened the door for her ready.




PAndora nodded smiling.

Lucretia walked out, she knew she didnt have long before the first guests arrived


themaid moved changing her swiftly

Bartholomew was standing beside his wife.




Pandora waited quietly.

Maria tugged on Lucretias hair slightly putting it into place 'better, now the guests will be arriving soon'




the maid was soon done 'your father is waiting at the carriage'
