25 Soul bond- Part 1 (1/2)

The next day the whole land of Bonelake was experiencing rain. The rain wasn't pouring heavily but it was slow, wetting the ground and making it muddy as hours passed by since it began. The warm sun and atmosphere was now replaced with the dull weather and even in such condition the mansion had received an invitation to attend a party which was held by one of the reputed and well known family in the empire of Bonelake.

Along with the Lord and his cousin who were going to the invitation destination, Heidi was asked to attend as well as she was the future possible wife of Warren Lawson. She was in her room getting with a maid helping her dress in an expensive dress while she held the bed post as the maid pulled her dress strings from behind making her hands tighten around the wood she held on to. Every time the maid pulled the string it caused her breath to come out in shallow gasps. Unlike for the one whom this dress was made for her body didn't fit in perfectly and therefore she could do nothing but bear with it for now as it was her first week in the mansion and the clothes which were promised to be sent was yet to reach which she doubted her family would do.

”Please stand still Ms. Curtis,” the maid requested her politely when Heidi jolted back.

”Yes,” she replied back, holding the bed post more securely, ”It has been raining since last night,” she looked outside the double doors which led to the balcony.

”The Bonelake empire is often subjected to rains and it never starts and stops with a light drizzle. Is it true that the north empire is nothing but warm and sunny?” The maid asked her curiously.

”It is,” Heidi confirmed, ”Long rains like these are very rare, may be just during the season but never too much.”

”Never?” the maid had surprise in her voice.

”Never. Though I have to say sometimes the summer turns unbearable and it is worse than standing in front of a hot pot but it is a good place,” she said remembering the fond memories she had built with her mother. Before her mother had passed away, their family would go out with food baskets to sit in the forest enjoying the sunlight and serenity of the land along with the shade that was provided by the tall, wide trees. They didn't do anything special but it was one of her favorite memory.

The maid twisted around the strings at the back of her dress before making a small bow at the end. When the maid left the room, she took sufficient amount of air into her lungs to breath as once she would leave this room she would have to behave like a proper lady, a lady who met the high society standards and a lady who was used to such clothes which she considered to be torture. She wasn't sure how long she would be able to keep a calm demeanor while she was surrounded by the highly classified vampires.

As she stood there facing towards the open window and taking deep breath, she heard the butler arrive at the door.

”Ms. Curtis, the Lord requests your presence at the entrance of the hall if you are ready to leave,” turning around she nodded before walking across the room, noticing something amiss the butler asked, ”Is everything alright Ms?”

”How can one wear such tight clothes,” Heidi huffed for air, trying to walk as elegant as she could.

It was then that the butler realized she was walking too stiff like a rock being moved. On his master's orders he had provided her with clothes that were usually kept for the female guests who arrived at the mansion and being the butler he should have known that the girl in front of him would not fit in them after all she didn't share similar frame like the vampiress or the humans from the elite class.

”Would you like me to look for another dress which would fit..better?” he asked.
