Thread: Care for a dance? ((Me and Sharpii))

Rosetta Lombardi and Alessandro Lombardi were probably the most well known pair of siblings in all of Venice. Coming from one of the richest and oldest families in Italy, their family held a big crust of power, and anyone who was anyone was trying to get their grubby hands on a smidgen of the power that they had. So, when a big ball came around, all the noble families took to parading their sons and daughters in front of the two siblings, who really could care less. Perhaps if they had actually been human they might have paid a bit more attention. The Lombardi family had a very deep secret, one that had been kept for centuries. They were a family of vampires, their line going as far back as ancient times. Using their powers of charm, and with, they gain money and power, climbing to the top. They had their hands in many state affairs and were...most of the time a peaceful family. No one ever heard of the Lombardi family commissioning the murder of a man for business reasons and that was because, they didn't need to. Why get another man to do something, when you could do it far more effectively and efficiently yourself? Alessandro, the older pair seemed to be a man of ambition. Currently under his father??s wing, he worked with him, learning the ropes. That??s the act he put on anyway. He was nearly 150 years old. Whatever his father could teach him, he had learned a long time ago. In truth he worked with his father side by side. The family owned many banks and properties all through the city. People came to the banks to borrow money, they pocketed the interest. People came to the family to rent out their property, they pocketed the monthly lease. Together, he and his father had set up a comfy empire, with a mountain of gold behind them. Alessandro was a kind individual, though his sometimes bloody urges could get the better of him, causing him to lash out, but this was only a rare occurrence. He hadn't killed a human in 50 years. He took pride in his family and what they stood for. He was also the protective type, always doting upon his younger sister, even though he full well knew she could protect herself just as easily. He was an attractive man, with black hair and a pair of green eyes that always seemed to be on alert aware of everything going on around him, yet he still kept his focuses on the person in front of him. He was tall, and toned, not overly so, but enough so that anyone approaching him to engage in hostilities knew he could hold his own easily. Years of sparring, and horse riding had left him in very good shape. His skin was pale, a stark contrast to his dark hair. He was dressed in the finest of clothing and had an air of confidence about him. His sister, Rosetta, on the other hand, was only 120 years old and seemed to have the sweet face of a young girl, rounded and innocent. Under that face though lurked a strength and power that could crush any human male. Like her brother, she also possessed long dark wavy hair and bright green eyes, along with a pale face. She was a desirable woman, and she knew it two. She had a slim figure, sparring with her brother ensured that she knew how to defend herself when she needed to, and gave her a fit figure. Her breasts were wholesome and supple, her hips round, her legs long and shapely. She often used her looks to get her way with men, much to the distain of her brother. She was very clever, she knew that because she was a woman, she would not have much say in the way the family was run, but she had her ways of influencing the men in her family without him even catching on. She herself had swayed her brother and father to make decisions to their families benefit by using her wit and tongue in conversations. She had many hobbies, those including painting and horseback riding. She had no intention of marrying and paring off with a mate just yet, she had other plans in her head. Today, the family would be attending a masquerade ball only for the elite members of society. The Lombardi family would never be seen at a simple noble men??s ball, but they would be required to attend if they were invited. As the two siblings were both single, they arrived at the ball together. Alessandro dressed in a fine black suit, with a white shirt, cravat, black pants and dark leather boots, with a simple black mask covering his face, his appearance, very masculine. His sister on the other hand, was dressed far more extravagantly. She was dress in a purple dress, with a corset pushing up her bust, as was the fashion. it was lined with sequins that glimmered in the light, and did a very good job of showing off her figure. On her face was a beautiful purple mask to match, with feathers coming out of one side. Around her neck was a simple white pearl necklace. The ball room was beautiful. Chandeliers lit up the room brightly, with paintings on the walls by the finest artists, maids and butlers serving the best food and wine money could by. The floor was polished wood, setting the regal feeling right into the room. Rosetta looked up at her brother and smiled and said Shall we go our separate ways, brother? she asked him He looked at her and said Yes...try not to have too much fun sister...I know what you??re like She seemed to grin behind her mask and said Don??t worry brother dear, I'll behave myself, just for you she said and began to walk and blend and socialise with those in the crowd while her brother began to do much the same thing, as well as look around for prospective dance partners at this rather...spectacular event.
