<span style="color: #BF0040"> <span style="font-style: italic">Suddenly, going for a late-night walk in a park, something happened, though she couldn't remember. All she remembered was waking up in a strange town full of lycans and werewolves, both held by the moon and not. She couldn't remember how she got here (though she remembered everything before that) but somehow, she knew that she belonged here for a reason...</span><br/> <br/>       Venus Nemkiyah opened her eyes, lightly squinting as a bright light shined through her fuzzy gaze, reaching her weary eyes. <span style="font-style: italic">I have a feeling that I'm not in Boston anymore,</span> Venus thought to herself chuckling lightly. <br/>            Still slightly disorientated, she sat up, a sudden headache piercing her head and a pain in the back of her head. Holding her head with one hand, she reached behind her. Once her hand came in contact with a cold stone slab, he came to her senses immediately. No longer disorientated, she looked around at her surroundings. It was almost like a shed/dungeon, complete with shackles hanging off a huge hook in the upper right-hand corner of the room and stone walls, which matched the stone floor and the stone slab upon which she was lying.<br/> <span style="font-style: italic">Where in the world am I?</span> she thought to herself. Clutching her decorative chain upon her black straight-leg pants, she began to shiver from the stale dungeon-like cold and the anxiety she was feeling. Was she kidnapped? And, if so, by whom? This made her shiver even more from fear. However, as usual, her curiosity was ten times stronger than her anxiety. She looked around at her surroundings once more, and decided that it must be a dungeon. But where though? And if she was really kidnapped, then why wasn't she tied up or chained? She shook her head  and was about to get up, when a girl with dark hair and a miniskirt came into the room. Instantly the girl introduced herself as Selena Corvic...<br/> <span style="font-style: italic">This happened the night before Selena left her house to visit Leah. </span></span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #800000">  "Awaken young prince. You have a long night ahead of you," the live-in maid, Jenevive Svedil, told Prince Shiloh Drothel, just as he was awakening from his slumber. He sat up in his large, coffin-like bed, which was decorated with red satin and the engravings within the coffin, which was made with the most expensive wood, and he stretched his arms out. As he stretched, he yawned loudly, still tired, since it was only twilight, which was early for him to wake.<br/>            "Why is it when there is a ball, I have to wake up so early?" He complained lightly, but making sure not to whine (he never whined, because he found whining to be childish).<br/>           "Well," Jenevive began, smiling lightly at him, " it is a very big event which takes much preparation and responsibility. Plus you have to prepare yourself as well." <br/>           "True, true," Shiloh agreed humbly. "Well, thank you for waking me Jen. I appreciate it. You are a very dedicated maid."<br/>            "Well, I'm practically like a mother to you," she spoke, her smile making the slight wrinkles at the corner of her mouth like a thing of beauty, rather than a blemish on her otherwise perfect skin. "I have lived with you since you were born and took the oath to care for you when your mother died."<br/>             "Well, I appreciate it very much, Jen," Shiloh thanked her once again, smiling lightly.<br/>            Then Jen took her leave, her long wavy hair flowing behind her as she left the room, so he could shower and change. Shiloh walked into his personal bathroom, which was connected only to his room through a dark-brown wooden door. The nicest dressup clothes he had, in hand, he closed the door behind him. Setting his now-folded clothes on the toilet, he stripped and he walked into the shower, turning on the water. As he stood under the water, he thought about the ball. Meanwhile, Venus was just awaking from her disoriented state in the dungeon-like place... </span>
