CH.15 Dance with me?

   I walked thought town the next day sighing in thought of what to do.Although it was the "Age of Darkness"(or whatever Argentine called it) time of year,the place was lit brightly with paper lanterns.I was in my wolf form walking down the street & before I knew it,I was tackkled by someone.My face was being licked clean & roughly by a slightly damp tounge."Thank you so so much,Ash!"said a familiar voice.Okami of course thanking me for her new necklace I gave her when she was a sleep.

   "No problem,"I replyed smiling at her.She gave me one small kiss on the cheek & ran off.She stopped about 1 or 2 yards away,"Oh & Ash,there is going to be a ball tonight so you might wanna dress up"Then she was gone in a flash.A Ball is it?,I thought.I guess I need to get ready for tonight then.

   Later that evening,I tried to figure out what the people here in the Luna clan wore to such things.There was a knock at my door."Come in," I said.It didn't really matter if it was Okami or someone else,I was in my shorts & white Tee Shirt.Father came in & smiled ,"I can see that you are trying to find out what to wear at tonights event".I looked at him from the mirror,"Yes,but I have never been to a ball before.What is it like father?"

   He chuckled & took a seat on my bed by me & told me the story of how he met Mom.It sounded like a fairy tell being told to a lil kid.He said that when it happened it felt like one too."Theres one thing though Ashten,"he said after the ending of the short story,"The one thing I wore that was this for good luck just in case I got too nervous." He showed me a bracelet made out of what I thought was gold.On the chain links they said,"The Freeman Family.Rule strong,Live forever"

   I took it when he gave it to me & looked him in the eyes.He was just simply smiling & said,"If you need help with your outfit-" I stopped him knowing what he was going to say,"No its ok Father.I think I got a good one picked out."Father nodded & stood starting to leave.

   I wore the bracelet like my father said.I felt much better & less nervous with it on with hopes that it would help me.I stood there on the wall & watch everyone dance.I saw stupiod as ever Cooro try to ask the blonde ,that helped Okami with her wounds back in the woods,for a dance.But Argentine told him off & she hugged him & started to dance.Knowing of a lot of music back long ago,I would say that the song played was Waltz in E minor.Then a gentle tap came on my shoulder.It was Okami in a velvet green dress that was old but so so beautiful.Her hair was bunned up with a small knife or small sword going strait down holding the hair in place.

   "Wow,your beautiful,"I said blushing at her.She smiled up at me with that breath taking smile.Then I remembered what to do,just like my father did & just like in those movies I saw when I was 3.I bowed & looked up at her,"Would you care to dance?"

   Okami smiled & nodded putting her hand in mine.I stood up & put my free arm around her waist & started to dance to the musical slightly dark song of the Waltz.She smiled up at me as we danced there.I looked into her stone silver eyes & she looked into my Emerald eyes.We danced what seemed like both forever & a few seconds.

   I walked with Okami outside to the gardens of the casle.we both turned wolf & just walked around under the moon light."Oh Ash,I had a lovely time at the dance.I wished it would have lasted forever,"she said to me smiling & sighed.I nodded smiling at her,"As did I,Okami.As did I."We both layed in the area where there were lots & lots of flowers.Most of them were purple while the others were blue.There were small patches of clovers & She rested her head on them smiling.I smiled back at her.SO beautiful...should I tell her?I thought.I shook my head,No I will just wait in time.I will tell her later when I am at least more mature about this question burning inside of me...

   Your probly wondering what the question is.Well have you read the book twilight,about a human girl who falls inlove with a vampire & her friend,a werewolf,likes her the same way but is too late for it?Well I feel like that werewolf.& I believe that there is someone else out there that she cares more for.the one question that will end the chioce between him & I.The one question that will prove I can be a ruler for the good of the clan with a person at my side.....The question.....Will you marry me?
