Spicecream week 2019 Day 6 Outfits/Atlas Ball
Neo sat on the roof with Cinder staring down into the massive party, there really wasn’t a point in being here, the room was full of academy students Atlas specialists soldiers, they couldn’t make a move, but Neo wanted to see a big fancy ball for herself, she had to miss the Beacon Dance and...She shook away that poison memory, it would only distract her from her end goal,
She instead focused on a little game, trying to guess what song was playing based on everyone’s dancing, since the reinforced glass of the skylight prevented any hint of the melody from reaching her, She loved the look of the whole affair and hated the people enjoying it, why did they get to have parties and balls? why was she somehow unworthy of this? again the memory began to comeback and again she chased it away it had been a lie, a cheap trick to maintain control, nothing more, Cinder probably didn’t even remember it,
Cinder looked over at the scrunched up face of her companion and almost reached for her Scroll, but she decided against it, Neo probably wouldn’t even remember, Instead she reached down and gently began to melt a hole in the glass so Neo and her could hear what was playing down below, soon they could hear the music though only faintly it was some boring waltz or another neither of them knew,
They sat in silence Neo staring and day dreaming about being down there, about pretty girls fawning over her in a beautiful gown, of Having fun with Emerald and Murcury mocking the other guests, Roman constantly chatting up the rich bored house wives looking for some sugar mamas, of the Malachite twins practically drooling over her, taking her by the hands and dragging her towards the dance floor only for Cinder to swoop in and...Neo blinked back some tears and repeated a simple mantra, “She was only using us, she never cared, we were just pawns to her,”
The Mantra was broken though when a new song emerged from the hole Cinder had made, Neo froze at the first few seconds of a Song she loved in a way she never knew she could, and never wanted to hear again, indeed rushing in was a terrible idea, but the song was wrong, she could help it and wasn’t going too let the Witch have her, She turned to remind herself of the deformed monster Cinder was and found Cinder looking off to the side her hand extended to Neo,
“They’re...Playing our song.“ Cinder gave a sad smile, and looked back at Neo looking almost desperately, at Neo’s hand resting on the ledge, the words began again, “I am no fool.“ Neo thought, “I can help it!“ she growled in her mind, “I could leave if i wanted to!“ she mentally screamed at the cursed song, “The most beautifully wicked of all.“ Neo quietly answered in her own mind, as she stared longingly at Cinder’s out stretched hand, The line came back, And Neo took the offered hand and placed her other on Cinder’s shoulder and felt a faint heat in her cheeks as Cinder’s other hand rested on her waist and the two began to slowly move, neither of them could really hear the music now but they didn’t need it, it was already there playing in their heads as they spun around holding each other on the cold roof of that building,
“I could help falling in love with you, But Roman forgive me i don’t want to,“
The song is (I can’t help) falling in love with you, the events referenced here will be the subject of tomorrow’s entry,
