"Is this her room? Well, let's knock and see who answers."

I wait for sometime, before knocking again, but I was starting to get annoyed. I was going to pound on the door, but the knob turned. Behind the door was a small old woman. "Oh hello darling, how can I help you?" I pulled out my school papers to show her that I'm here for a project. "A trip to the past and you have the year 1925." She does a closed-eyed smile and invites me in. Her house smells like a typical old women house along with the decor. She brings out some tea for us and takes a seat. I'm to busy looking at her stuff and pictures.

One picture that caught my eye was of a young woman and man in black, from the looks of it, the girl was a vampire or bat while the man, he seemed like a vampire as well. "You seem to admire that photo a lot?"

"I'm sorry, didn't mean to stare."

"Don't be, it's one of my favorites. It's of my husband and me."

I do choke just a little on my tea, That's her?! And-What?! She sets her tea on the table and opens the small drawer below it. She pulls out a dusted mask in black lace, small black pearls on one side of the face, and a few diamonds scatted all around. Then to tie it off is two velvet black string. "This was mine, he made it for on our wedding day."

The way she looks at it, I can tell that her husband was the most important person to her. "Can you tell me about him?" With a smile on her lips, she nods her head. "I thought you never ask.

"Mavis, are you in here?"

Lucy is already in her princess costume, with matching white mask over her eyes. "You look pretty, the mask brings out your eyes." She does a little spin for me, and I watch the dress fall back to her feet. "Is that what you're wearing, all black?" I pull the last of my glove up to my arm and nod to her. "Nothing wrong with it, I think it looks good."

"Well, if you say so, but we're late so grab your mask and let's go."

I step away from the mirror for one last look over, the dress clings to me, but I'm still able to move in it. I follow after her, who already at the door. "Alright let's go." She stops me and points to her face. "Mask, where is it?" I touch my face, doing a shaky laugh to her. "Um, about that, I don't have one."

"What do you mean you don't have one? We're going to a masquerade ball, can't go to one without a mask."

"I'm sure they'll have the kind on a stick to hold. It will be fine don't worry."

With an annoying sigh she leaves the room, I grab my invite from the table and catch up with her. I hope tonight will be amazing*. With the lift bring us down, I make sure the dress isn't getting by picking it up off the floor when we leave the building. With one step outside, I felt just how cold the weather can really get in the winter time. "You think it will snow tonight?"

"It might, so we need to get to the building."

We walk a little faster and go around crowds of people, I bump into a few people, say my sorry to them, and go back to running after Lucy. If it wasn't for her pink dress, I'd lose her in this sea of blacks and deep reds. "Lucy, wait up for me." I see her at the door waving me down. I'm slightly out of breath but, I show my invite to the man.

We hear the music get louder the closer we get to the ballroom. The whole room is filled with gold and white. Candles circle the room with even two men with white wigs on, with gold masks hold candles near the stairs. "It's amazing in here, look at everyone. I feel out of place now with this dress." Lucy hides behind me, it makes me giggle. "Look, others wore pink as well." She sees the others in pink and comes out from behind me. "Alright, I'll go get us some drinks."

She steps in between dancers, people talking all while muttering sorry to them. She's too kind I swear  I, on the other hand, try to see if anyone is offering masks to the forgotten people. "No one, not a single person forgot their mask." People have noticed, they even point over to me. Need to hide until Lucy comes back. I go around the pillar to hide my nude face the party, it's kinda dark here but its perfect.

"Hiding from the crowd too?"

I jump by this voice, it was dark yet smooth. "Hello? Who's there?" I hear a step, then another till I'm able to make the outline of a person. It was so tall, the body was muscular or puffy cause of his costume. As he got closer I could see his face, dark hair and eyes, He's so handsome.

"Vampire?"

"What?"

"Your costume, you're a vampire right. Funny so am I."

He was in the full get up, cape and everything and his mask, it was amazing. His eyes were looking over my body, I felt so red and so warm when he did this. Is he gonna eat me or something?* "You don't have a mask."

"I-I know. I don't have one." Just saying it to him made me feel really stupid and embarrassed. "Do you know what masquerade balls stand for Miss?" I know what the concept is, its a place where people can live out their fantasy, dress up to what they've always wanted to be and tie it off behind a mask. "Yes I know, I don't need a lesson from a stranger. I always got yelled at from my friend about not having one."

It was a bit quiet between us, but in the background, we could hear a new song playing. He bows a little with his hand out to me. "Forgive me, but to make up for can I have this dance?" Smirking at him, I extend my hand to him. With my hand in his and my other on his shoulder he leads the way to the music, he twirls me, dips me and even kisses my hands. I was having the best time ever and with the music about to end, we look into each other's eyes.

"You're light on your feet Sir.''

"I've had a lot of practice."

With one final spin, he holds me close to his chest. At that moment we both felt something, we leaned into each other to share a passionate kiss. I felt the sparks go off in my chest, I know he felt something too, his finger found its way into my hair and he was tugging on in a little. Everyone on the floor applauded but we were both gasping for air. "I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do that." I step away from him and go back over to the light of the room.

"Hey, don't be sorry." He takes my face into his face and kisses me again, I can't enough of his lips on mine. "Can I get a picture of you two?" We look over to a man with a big camera. "Sure." I loop my hand around his arm and the man takes our picture when he's done I hear Lucy call to me.

"Mavis there you are, where have yo-Oh, hello there."

She sees the tall man next to me, she winks at me when I stand next to her. "Sorry sir, but Mavis and I have to go back home now." I really didn't want to leave but, she was right. "No, it's alright miss." He bows to us, I didn't want to say goodbye so I did what any sensible person would do. Grab Lucy's hand and run out the door.

"Mavis look, look. Your picture is in the paper." Lucy throws the paper at me, it's been about three days since the party and the whole time, I can't stop thinking about him and his kisses. "Would you look at that, I look good in black and white." I toss it back over to her who happily takes it, "I'm gonna cut this out and frame it for you, I'll just fold the man out."

"No!, I mean, you don't need to. Keep him in there."

"Ooo does someone have a little crush?"

Her voice was in a teasing fashion, I can't help it if I found that man attractive. The doorbell rings, Lucy was way to buys cutting out my picture so I was left to answer the door. When I open it I see a tall man with roses in his hand. Something about his face seemed familiar but, I couldn't tell. "Can I help you?" He was having an issue talking, the words for some reason wouldn't come out.

"Sir are you okay?"

"You don't remember me, do you?"

"No, I'm sorry."

He lowers the roses and looks down at his feet. Then he got an idea it looks like, he reaches into his breast pocket to pull out a mask. He holds it up to his eyes, it was then I remembered who he was, the man I kissed that night, the man I can't stop thinking about it. "Mavis is it? I'm Zeref it's nice to meet you.

***

"After that, he and I spent every day together, and just three months later he and I were married. I miss this man every day, but I'll always have the night this mask but most importantly I have that picture of the night him and I first met."

"Thank you so much miss, that was such a wonderful story. Now I know what to write about."

I shake her hand and head right over to the door, I don't leave right away but look back over to her. She runs her finger over the face of her husband in the photo. If that isn't true love, then I don't know what is.
