"Mother I really see no point to keep attending these parties." Meredith sighed as Naudia, the Valentino's maid tightened the strings to her black corset causing Meredith to slightly jerk back. "Darling don't be so stubborn. There will be many many men who will be swooning over you just to have a dance with you or even buy you a drink." Meredith rolled her eyes. Meredith never saw the reason why her mother dragged her along to these dances. Does she really want me to fall in love, get married and have kids that badly? She thought to herself. After Naudia finished tightening and tying the strings to her corset, she slipped on her long violet and black lace satin dress. The lace on her dress didn't feel scratchy or itchy. It was smooth like the rest of the dress. Katerina her mother let Naudia leave the room as Katerina finished getting her daughter ready. Meredith moved her platinum blonde hair to one side over her shoulder and out of the way letting her mother zip up her dress. She could see her mother smiling to her in the full length mirror. "You look exquisite darling." Meredith gave a small smile in the mirror. "Now Let us be on our way. The Carriage is waiting outside. Meredith nodded slipping on her black gloves, and a pair of black heels. She grabbed her black shawl from off her bed just before she left her room heading down the large stair case and out to the carriage.

In the carriage on the way to the party, Meredith gazed out of the carriages window listening to the sound of the horses hoofs against the ground. Oddly, she was excited about this party. Maybe it would be different this time. She thought to herself. Normally all she did was have a drink and more then just one guy would be infatuated with her and would ask her to dance. She would deny them. They were all too sweet. They were all the same. Some rich guy finding someone to be engaged to and have a happy family with and grow old with. But that was the problem. Meredith wasn't some normal every day girl. She didn't grow old because she wasn't even human. She was a mythical creature. She was a centaur. And her centaur part was that she was half unicorn. They were rare creatures. And luckily no hunters, or other beings had been after her ever since she lived here. People mainly could potentially be after her because her blood could make people immortal and she had healing powers. And some people would kill for immortality. To stay young forever. But luckily she didn't cross anyone who knew creatures like her existed.

Once the carriage made it to the party Meredith snapped out of her dazed from her mother's voice. "Meredith Pay attention." Her mother snapped. She just rolled her eyes in the other direction. She stepped out of the carriage after her mother. She made sure her dress didn't drag or cause her to trip clenching the satin fabric into her hand as she stepped out of the carriage. Seeing all of the women dressed in their finest dresses as the men dressed in elegant suits and tuxes, Meredith somehow found herself hoping this party would be different then all the rest of the parties she had attended over the years. Maybe not just for the party being different but possibly the men.Here we go. She thought to herself walking up of the steps and inside of the large mansion. It was possibly bigger then hers.

The inside had the most elegant but memorizing interior. The entire inside lit by candles. The sound of violins and cellos playing elegant music in the background as everyone mingled, danced and sipped their drinks. Laughter filled the room. There was rarely anyone who was alone.As one of the waiters came by Meredith with alcoholic beverages in wine glasses set onto a flat object he had flat on his hand, she took one of the glasses into her small pale petite hands sipping the bubbly drink. Her violet eyes followed around the room with her right arm holding onto her stomach.
