Elisia Winters was very excited for this ball, and a masquerade ball at that. She already had her outfit prepared for the night, a ruby red dress embroidered with white lacing, a choker around her neck to match. Her rose was fresh from the gardens, the smell gracing her nose every time someone passed her.<br/><br/>She observed the ballroom curiously, taking in the splendors that the King had in his home. She curtsied to her superiors and chatted among her lessers, her cream mask covering her face. She only wished her dog was at her side, poor Reginald waiting somewhere outside of the scary castle for his master's return.  She couldn't help but frown when her eyes laid upon Lord Winters chatting with the King himself. The Queen stood nearby, watching her as if she was evaluating the girl. Elisia's fist clenched slightly. "Don't tell me my father is planning another.."<br/><br/>She didn't get to finish her sentence as a howl forced silence upon the large room. It sent a chill through the lady's body, making her drop the wine glass that was in her hand. Screams erupted from the rich guests as the window busted open, a beast leaping through. Her own scream added to the mix as it's eyes focused on her, making her freeze. "Oh no.." She whispered, backing away frantically when it started to charge for her, pushing through people easily.<br/><br/>Something inside her told her to run, and that's exactly what Elisia did, turning tail and striding for the exit. Her rose fell from her hair her heels clattering noisily on the marble floor as she pushed through shocked onlookers. she burst from the ballroom, rushing for the outside. "Reginald!!" Elisia called, hoping her dog could come and save her. The canine's ears perked up, following the scared girl's voice to the hallway that led out of the castle. the dog growled at the Werewolf, showing his own fangs, tiny in comparison to the larger beast's. Elisia kept on running, making for the door and into the fresh air. She never looked back.
