Ballroom Surprise

Daryll: And tonight is your first, and hopefully your last, assignment.

He said as he put a necklace that shone with diamonds and rubies around her neck.

Lisa: As you wish, my dearly beloved Daryll.

He grinned at her through a special mirror with satisfaction. She was now under his complete and total control.. Or so it seemed..

Daryll: Your instructions are all in here..

He pointed to her head.

Daryll: And here.

He pointed to himself.

Daryll: I shall give you all of the instructions needed to make sure you exceed your goal. I will call for you, tell you what to do - as needed - and can appear to do the deed within a moments time if needed. Remember.. I can see beyond all that you can see, hear all that you hear and feel exactly what you are feeling. I know your every move and location. So do not fret.

Lisa: Yes Daryll.

She replied in a dark, echoing voice. He eyes were painted black as she prepared for the greatest feat of all time.. It was the end of a great empire and the dawn of a new night..

Lisa: Is the love of my death satisfied?

Daryll: Not quite yet, but I will be.

He said before kissing her cheek, then her jawline, and finally her neck.

Lisa: Oh Daryll, stop before we miss the ball!

Daryll: And at that ball, you shall be the only one who gleams with such beauty once you get a hold of our target.

Lisa: Such a sweet one, you are. I only wish that you could come with me. But you are a distraction and I must complete this mission.. Let us fly.

Daryll: No. We shall ride a carriage. Surely, you are on the expected guest list for the night since you are his future Queen.

He grinned once more.

Lisa: Then consider it done.

She went to her footman and got into the carriage.

Footman: Princess Lisa?

He shouted, wide eyed.

Footman: The whole Kingdom thinks of you to be dead..

Lisa: Am I not here? Standing before you in the flesh of my own? Take me to the Kingdom of Neverland immediately.

Footman: Yes.. Your highness.

And off they went. It was as if they were flying because of the time that had passed before they had gotten there. It was much shorter than the last time she was there. Once she had arrived at the palace, she began to look around for the Prince after she had been announced.

Announcer: The Princess Lisa Presley of Norway!

She bowed and searched the crowd as the grand Dutchess Anastasia was being announced.

Daryll: Your arrival is on time. Your target is yet to be found.

With a nod, she proceeded to act as if she were a normal guest until she was pulled off to the side by someone. She looked into the eyes of the Prince of Scandinavia.

Prince: Pardon me, Princess.. But, what is your name?

Lisa: I am Princess Lisa Presley of Norway. I am looking for the Prince Michael of this Kingdom.

Prince: Well, the Prince has already found another Princess-if you ask me..

Lisa: But I did not. Now, I must go.

She said as she began walking away from him.

Prince: Twas a pleasure speaking with you.

She nodded and kept moving. She had her mind set on one thing, her target. Prince Michael. Then a trumpet sounded and everyone's attention was directed towards the royal family of Neverland as they made their way towards their seats.

Daryll: There he is. You shall not fail me.

Lisa: I swear it. I shall not fail.

She disappeared and reappeared in a closer area. She knew exactly how to complete her mission.. But would she succeed? She made her way up the stairs, where she could be seen and he stood. She smiled and licked her bottom lip. He kept his gaze on her. A mysterious woman came to his attention, they talked and Lisa tuned in to their conversation.

Grace: What is it that you are looking at?

Michael: The people, Grace. The people. Tonight, I must dance with some of them. Starting with her.

He pointed to Lisa as he began to make his way down to her.

Michael: You mustn't cause a scene. For they know not of you, yet.

Lisa tuned out and focused on his every move as he got closer and closer to her. Then, finally..

Michael: Princess Lisa Presley of Norway. Such a pleasure.

Lisa: The pleasure is all mine.

He extended his hand to her.

Michael: May I have this dance?

Lisa: I would be honored, sire.

She bowed as her eyes began to change red and they began to dance.

Michael: Forgive me Princess, but.. I do not believe that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing what it is that your people do.

She laughed lightly.

Lisa: No sire. I have not because you have failed to ask me.

He spun her and nodded with a smile. Then pulled her close to him as their hands linked together again and they stared into each other's eyes.

Michael: Then, do tell me Princess.. What is it that your people do?

Lisa: Well..

She began as they began to circle each other. Hands still locked together.

Lisa: My people are usually-.

A woman interrupted them and the Prince apologized after his guard explained that he must switch girls to dance with.

Michael: Pardon me, Princess..

Lisa: The joys of being a royal..

She said as she walked away and went onto the balcony. Gazing at the stars, she felt a presence beside her and a familiar kiss greet her.

Daryll: My precious love.

Lisa: Daryll..

She breathed. She turned around and hugged him.

Daryll: My beauty, soon this will all be ours.

Lisa: Daryll.. I have been thinking.. What if he has chosen another to be his wife? Then we need not to go through with this plan..

Daryll: Foolish! Such insolence from a woman I have not dared to hear! How dare you speak in such a way?

Lisa: There was a woman.. She is pregnant and she greeted him. I suspect that they are..

Daryll: That they are what? You believe that those imbeciles deserve to live?

Lisa: Tis better than living like this!

Daryll: Like what?

Lisa: Like us! I have no clue how to see myself in a mirror, I have an endless taste for blood, and I cannot go out to admire the day or else I shall burn and die!

Daryll: Then what is it that you want?

Lisa: I want to live! I wish to be as I used to! I just want to be alive again..

He touched her cheek and disappeared because he heard someone coming. Princess Lisa was crying when she heard a voice behind her.

Michael: Princess?

Lisa: Oh, forgive me sire.. I.. I am in no proper way to be seen with you.

She said as she wiped her eyes and attempted to rush away but was grabbed by a hand.

Michael: Please, stay here with me. I have had much trouble getting away from the endless pile of desperate women and now that I am here, I would much rather keep your company.

She looked up at him and smiled.

Lisa: Tis a nice thing to say..

They began to talk and pretty soon, they found themselves walking about the palace halls alone. Talking and keeping one another company. Then they ended up in another room that had a window and a bed. There, they sat and finally, Lisa began to hear the voices again.

Daryll: Kill him, Lisa. Kill him.

She tried to ignore it.

Daryll: Kill him. You cannot ignore me! You cannot fight the power that is within you! Do it! KILL HIM!

She grabbed her head as she bagan to drift in and out of consciousness. She saw black and red hues then normal ones.

Michael: Princess Lisa, are you alright?

Daryll: DO IT!

She stood and began walking backwards into a corner.

Michael: Princess Lisa?

Lisa: Go! You must go!

Michael: I cannot leave you. I must be sure that you are okay.

Daryll: Yes, Lisa! Kill him! Let it take over you!

Lisa: If you stay, I am.. uncertain of what is.. to come..

She said, struggling to remain in her right mind. Her eyes began to flicker as her fangs began to grow. She let out an ear piercing scream and the glass shattered in the window. She slowly looked up and everything was black with red lines, except for her target, which was all red.

Michael: Are you alright?

Lisa: Yes.. I am fine now.

She smiled seductively and held out her hand. He helped her off of the floor and noticed that her eyes were red.

Michael: Princess, your eyes are..

Lisa: Red? Oh yes. This happens at night when it rains.

Thunder clapped and he quickly turned his head towards the window. His heart pounding.

Michael: Amazing.. You spoke and it began to rain.

Lisa: I can always tell..

She wispered into his ear with her arms wrapped around his neck.

??: Prince Michael?

The same mysterious woman stood in the doorway in tears.

Michael: Grace!

Lisa: Is this your servant?

He went over to her and she wouldn't let him touch her.

Michael: Princess Lisa.. There is something that I must say to you.. This is my wife to be..

Lisa's eyes faded back to dark brown as she looked down.

Lisa: Forgive me. I did not know..

Grace: You are forgiven.

Princess Lisa hurried past them but Grace's voice stopped her.

Grace: Would you mind if we were to talk for a moment?

The Prince left and Grace went back into the room with Princess Lisa.

Lisa: So, tell me of your Kingdom. I am sure your people are most pleased that their Princess is getting married.

Grace: I.. I ruled over a small part of Neverland and that is why we are getting married.. Also, I am with child.

Lisa: Prince Michael is the father..

Grace: Yes..

She smiled and touched her stomach. Lisa's eyes turned back to red and her fangs returned.

Grace: Tell me.. How do you know of the Prince?

Lisa: I was lead to believe that I was to become his wife when we first met. I am an eligible Princess in search of a Prince to marry so that I may rule my Kingdom and claim the crown. He was the one that I had the pleasure of meeting and actually liked talking to him. He seemed to be just like me.. But now, he has you. You are with such luck.

Grace: No luck is found here.. Just love.

Lisa: He loves you?

Grace: Yes.

She smiled.

Lisa: I have loved him. Now he is yours to love.

She arose and went towards the broken window. Her glowing eyes and the urge to kill slowly taking over.. But she had to stall. She had to plan to kill this girl, that way the plan would go on without her being in the way.

Grace: A thousand pardons. No idea did I have of this.

Grace placed her hand on Princess Lisa's shoulder.

Lisa: Do not apologize for love. He is yours now. If anything, that is all I want.. To fall in love with my King so that birthing a heir is no burden.

Grace: I do believe that every Princess thinks as you.

Lisa: Perhaps..

She turned away..

Lisa: Perhaps not..

She spun towards Grace, grabbed her and bit into her neck as she clasped her hand over Grace's mouth so that her screams would be muffled. Once she was done feeding, she smiled in satisfaction and left the corpse behind the closed red door. She returned to the ballroom and the Prince was there. Lisa couldn't help but smile as she danced the night away. Her part of the work was done.. Grace was now under her control..
