Thread: A  Trip in Time {KayLove & TheCorsair}

London was abuzz with activity in the early days of December, snow had just fallen and the streats practically glittered with the on coming holiday on its way sooner rather than later. But for the St. Clare family it was more than just a beautiful night, tonight was their annual banquet ball that had been held for generations now. Athena's father had made some changes though, now it was a charity ball, all of the proceeds went to local cherities and ultimatly to the people who needed it the most. Seeing as that was the only reason that Athena atteneted the thing year after year she never attempted to make a fuss when her mother shoved various poofy ball gouns her way and inststed her only daughter look for a husband while she attended. But all this passed easily enough and the night began smoothly. Sparkling people filed in from streatched limousines, beautiful pale women handing off the arms of handsom men. Every last one of them getting their photograph taken in front of the famous London hall. It was a sight to be seen indeed. And finally the host and family arrived in a slightly more humble limo and strode out into he flashing lights confidently. Her mother, Remora, smiling ith her bright red lips and dark brown hair tied into a high bun and a long deep red dress trailing behind her. Robert St. Clare was the main focus of the on lookers but he gave them nothing to question as he was the perfect picture of a St Clare, he two had dark brown hair and a sleek black tuxido with finally a matching red bow tie as well as his lion headed walking cain supporting him as he walked. Next were Athena's brothers, the twins Eric and Stephen, they were the heart throbs of the country it seemed. They wore dark gray suits not much difference but how they filled them out, one being slightly taller and thinner while the other slighty shorter and bulky from working out. They were confident and headstrong like their father. And lastly came the adopted daughter as she stepped out of the car, her feet tucked into black stiletto heels that made her anckles wobble every time she walked. Athena wasn't as glamorus as her family but her mother tired. She wore a deep blue dress that hung off her frame, hugging every curve but draped down to the ground, a slight slit going up to her knee revealing skin but not enough to cause chills as she walked towards the entrence. Her blonde hair hung in soft curls around her face and she wore a heavy necklace that she could swear was weighing her down enough to cause her to walk slower. As the night began and the music played by the small band and the evening was in full swing, glasses of champange were being handed out by their waiting staff, appetizers eaten by the handful, and grand crystal chandeliers hung above them all as if watching and laughing along with the pleasantries. The night was only beginning and Athena was already exausted as she slipped her way through the crowd, a sweet smile spastered on her pale pink lips as she headed to the ladies room for a moment of peace. She swiftly locked the door behind her, they could use the other one she thought to herself, not feeling the slightest bad about that as she sat upon the marble counter and kicked off her far too expensive shoes as well as unclasped the large thing from around her neck and let it clank onto the counter. Its just for tonight 'Thena... she mummbled to hereself as she rubbed the back of her calves through her dress, these shoes were simly torture....
