A Dance of One

[Bridgett]

Sarai had been playing the grand piano,she was amazing it was like nothing Bridgett had ever heard before,before Bridgett came in.The Ballroom was amazing,marble floors and columns,chandeliers,and a grand marble staircase.Bridgett picked up the hem of her new dress,Carmen found she loved making dresses and sent her favorite to Bridgett,as she descended the stairs.At the bottom she pulled the string of her cloak and it fluttered to the floor.She closed her eyes and curtsied,"I would love to dance" she said to the invisible man.Bridgett put her arms around Mr Invisible and began dancing around the ballroom.She imagined the orchestra playing and the room packed with men in suites and ladies in fancy dresses.Bridgett had always wanted to go to one of the balls she heard about in London,but knew she couldn't.Although it was easy for her to have enough control to be around humans, she did not want to be close to anyone.Bridgett was twirling when she slipped on the hem of her dress,which was surprising because vampires had great balance,and was about to hit the floor she guessed,her eyes where still closed,but didn't.All of a sudden she back up and dancing.Bridgett open her eyes and gasped."I'm sorry did I frighten you?"There was man spinning her around the room."No"Bridgett didn't want to admit to being weak."Who are you?"The man was gorgeous,defiantly a vampire.It wasn't just his beauty that marked him as a vampire,but also the crimson eyes."My name is Gerard.Who are you?"Gerard knew who she was,she was the one he had followed from London."I'm Bridgett."They where still dancing."Are you from Volterra?I don't think I've seen you around."Gerard didn't want to tell Bridgett,what a perfect name for her,that he had followed her here."No. I just arrived."Bridgett understood that.When she first came to Volterra she just arrived here and didn't know what to do with herself.They finally stopped dancing,like the music had ended,and stepped away from each other."Well thank you for the dance Gerard."Bridgett liked this new friend."Any time.Will I see you again?"Gerard didn't want his tracking to wasted,she knew the city better than him."Maybe...I spend a lot of time in the garden,maybe I'll see you there."Bridgett wanted to see Gerard again,but not seem that way."Well goodnight Gerard." "Bon nuit"Gerard spoke French fluidly and sometimes spoke it instead of English.
