First was trying to pick out a dress. I feel overwhelmed and can feel my heart rate rise and my breathing slowly becomes rapid. Luna Adaline notices my predicament and comes over to me and grabs my hand.

"It's alright dear. Take deep breaths. In and Out. In and Out. That's it Audrey. There is nothing to worry about dear. Just pick one you like and hand it to one of the Crew members and then sit at your vanity table. Then they will do your makeup and your hair. Then we will get in the car outside and go to the Ball. We will enjoy the night together and then we will come back here. Are you ready Audrey?"

I slowly nod my head as I feel my heart slow down. I walk toward the rack of dresses made for me and slowly look over the rack of different colored gowns. There are different styles and different lengths. Some were long, some were short, some had long backs and short fronts. Some had fancy backs, some had straps, some didn't. Intricate beading on many and some were plain.I was beyond amazed at all the selections. I started to walk by the racks and looked at all the options. I then hear Luna Adaline start to yell and get excited.

"Wait! Audrey! I know what dress you should wear!"

She runs to her wardrobe and comes out with a white silk box with a black ribbon tying it closed.

Luna motions me over as she places the box on a table in her room. She slowly unties the box and starts to lift the lid as she begins to speak.

"This is the dress that I wore when I met my real mate. I was the same size as you are now. I always dreamed my daughter would wear this dress to their first Ball. Will you do me the honor of wearing it?"

I start to open my mouth when she cuts in again.

"You don't have too! You can wear the another dress I just thought..."

She started to get excited and worked up so I broke one of the rules that's been drilled in my head and interrupted her.

"I would love to wear your dress! I just don't want to ruin it!"

Throughout this whole ordeal the lid to the dress box had fallen shut and I realized I agreed to wear a dress that might look horrible on me, but to see the Luna happy I would wear whatever she wanted.

With that being said Luna Adaline smiled and gave me a quick hug. I was dumbfounded by the act and didn't notice Luna Adaline putting the dress on a mannequin nearby.

I was amazed at the gown in front of me and beautiful satin flowers sewn into bodice and some sewn into the middle and bottom of the dress. The dress fell into a pool of maroon. The sight of this dress made me want to cry but I pushed the feeling down in time to hear The Crew leader start talking.

"How long is she going to stare? We need to do hair and makeup before we put her in the dress."

Once they noticed I had snapped out of my daze, they started to bark orders at the rest of the team.

I was placed in my chair as makeup was applied to my face. A powder and concealer that matches my skin tone perfectly was applied to hide my scars and few bruises that still hadn't healed.

My eyes were designed to have an innocent yet fierce look to them with a darker top to lighter shades and a nice winged eyeliner. My lips were painted a simple rosewood color to tie the whole look together.

The hair team decided to do my hair in loose curls that cascade down my back that hide my scars on the top of my back that wasn't hidden by the dress.

It was time for me to get in my gown and I was nervous I wouldn't fit in it. It's a really small gown and I have some curves even though I'm malnourished.

After getting in the gown and having it fit perfectly, the first outfit to fit me perfectly ever since I got here besides the clothes from these past two weeks.

I turn around feeling the dress spin around me and see a smiling Luna Adaline looking as gorgeous as ever.

"ADALINE! GET DOWN HERE! IT'S TIME TO GO!"

We all jumped at the booming voice of Alpha Jordan but I was startled the most.

"Alright dear are you ready? We will have a great time and you will be safe and have a good time. Hopefully you will find your mate! Now let's get going, Alpha has waited long enough."

Well here it goes...
