The next chap finally.

++Chapter 5++
Check
Runa stepped out of her brother's green truck.
"Thanks Ronnie," Runa told him.
"Call me when you're done, no catching rides from any guy. I'll find him and kill him," Ronnie warned.
"I won't, thanks," Runa reassured, as she took her green handbag.
Runa took a deep breath as she started walking, almost tripping.
HOw do girls walk in these shoes? Runa wondered, trying hard to keep balance.
Her heart started pounding as she came up to the doorman.
"Good evening ma'am, may I see your ticket?" The doorman asked, who looked about eighteen with short black hair buzzcut and light blue eyes.
Runa shakily reached into her bag, her fidgeting fingers dropping the purse to the ground.
"Sorry," Runa apologized, kneeling down to retrieve her bag.
The doorman kneeled as well and gave Runa back her bag.
"Thank you, here's the ticket," Runa told him, holding out the silvery laminated paper.
The doorman punched a hole in the ticket and gave it back to Runa.
"Have a good time ma'am," The doorman told her, smiling.
Runa nodded, fixing the mask on her face as she walked into the building. The chandeliers were hung all around with candles inside crystals that lite the hallway. Runa looked at the paintings and decorations that hung from the walls. Red, pink, white, yellow, and orange roses decorated the small tables on the way to the ballroom. The soft, red carpet felt as if anyone walking down the hallway was a hollywood star going down the red carpet. Couples wearing masks passed by Runa and entered the ballroom but Runa took her time, taking in everything that was beautiful around her.
"It's like a different world," Runa murmured, stopping to touch a delicate red rose to see if it was real.
"Beautiful isn't it?" A voice asked.
Runa turned around to see a tall man standing beside her, viewing the painting that stood behind the table that the roses rested on. He wore a red coat with gold buttons, gold cuffs with white lace, with a red vest button up with gold buttons underneath with red pants, red shoes with gold buckles on them and a gold mask that covered his face with red feathers.
"Yes," Runa answered, turning away.
The man had reminded her of someone she knew but Runa wasn't quite sure who.
"Well, have a good time," The man told her, bowing and walking away.
Runa watched the man before shortly following his path into the ballroom. She slowly went down the enormous stairs with other couples beside her. Glancing around the room, Runa saw people dancing, conversing and even snacking on some food on the tables provided by caterers. Some guys looked at Runa and she felt like they never seen a girl before.
"May I have this dance?" A polite voice asked.
Runa turned around to see Herod bowing before her wearing a black blazer with gold buttons over a button-up white shirt, black pants with a belt and gold and black shoes. His amber eyes stared intently at Runa behind his glasses and Runa had the itching feeling he had saw through her mask and knew exactly who she was.
"Umm--umm..." Runa stammered, caught off guard and not sure how to reply.
Herod turned away and looked around.
"She's here, where's Shinu?" Herod asked.
"You--you know its me?" Runa sputtered.
Herod grinned, leaning towards Runa.
"Your eyes gave you away, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized such a beautiful woman," Herod explained, pulling back.
"I didn't come here with anyone. I'm here to face whoever caused Velia to..." Runa stopped.
Herod looked around again, frowning.
"You came alone? Didn't you hear what I said before? She can't protect you against your enemy!" Herod scolded.
"I can take care of myself!" Runa fumed.
"It's not a matter that you can take care of yourself or not! Against her you're vulnable man, woman, anything!" Herod exclaimed.
Herod sighed, running his hand through his hair.
"Come with me," Herod finally told her, holding out his hand.
"Why?" Runa asked.
"Have I ever given you a reason not to trust me?" Herod asked.
Runa looked away.
"No," Runa answered.
"I know where Shinu is," Herod told her.
"I don't want to see him!" Runa blurted out, her heart beating faster.
"And why not?" Herod asked.
"I just can't!" Runa insisted, covering her face with one hand, "...I don't want him to see me like this..."
"See you as a woman?" Herod asked.
"Yes and no...I also told him I wouldn't go..." Runa admitted.
"Well if you won't go to him, will you go to the other one?" Herod asked.
"No!" Runa cried out.
Herod sighed.
"Stay here and don't go anywhere," Herod ordered, as he walked through the crowd of dancing.
Runa sat in a chair and crossed her legs, trying to slow her heartbeat.
What would he say if he saw me like this? Runa wondered.
"You came!" A voice exclaimed.
Runa looked up to see guy wearing a black vest with silver buttons, a red shirt underneath with black slacks, red shoes, and a silver mask covering his face with black and red feathers. He removed his mask to reveal that it was Seth.
"I'm glad you came, let's dance," Seth suggested.
Runa got up and started walking away but Seth grabbed her arm and started pulling her towards the center of the room.
"I'm not who you think I am," Runa insisted, trying to pry her arm free.
"I think I know Runa, I know your eyes anywhere," Seth replied as he spun her around.
Runa fell into Seth thanks by the momentum he had caused by spinning her.
"Look Seth...I'm sorry but..." Runa started, and then saw Lien wearing a purple dress with her hair up and tied, crumble to the ground.
Lien! Runa thought, as she tried to pull away from Seth.
"I have to go, my friend needs me!" Runa exclaimed as her mask fell off.
At that exact moment, Runa saw Herod talking with the tall guy all dressed in red and gold along with a guy who wore identical clothing but was instead emerald green and gold. The tall guy stared at Runa and took off his mask to reveal it was Shinu. Runa's heart pounded and she became afraid as she shoved Seth and fell backwards. She fell into another couple who were surprised but not angry at being interrupted.
"Are you okay miss?" The woman asked, who wore a sparkly pink dress with a gold and pink mask.
"Yes, thank you," Runa answered, gratefully, as she looked around for her mask.
She saw it on the ground and just before she could bend down to grab it, a foot crushed it. Runa looked at who had done the deed to see a girl dressed in dark purple, long flowing dress with a collar but was cut into a triangle revealing clevage. She wore a black mask with purple feathers and removed the mask to reveal it was Jezabel.
"You were always so clumsy weren't you?" Jezabel murmured, her eyes turning slightly red.
Runa grabbed at her chest, feeling as if a hand was squeezing her heart tightly.
"Who are you? Are you the one who...?" Runa started as Seth caught her.
"Runa are you alright?" Seth asked, worried.
Jezabel glared at Seth and disappeared in the crowd.
The pain subsided and Runa realized she had to follow her.
"I'm alright, I have to go now!" Runa exclaimed as Seth refused to release her, his hands around her waist.
"You can't, she'll kill you," Seth whispered.
Runa frozed, chills going down her back as Shinu suddenly forced his way through the crowd with Herod and the other guy behind him.
"What are you doing?! Let her go!" Shinu growled.
Seth smirked
"What are you going to do about it?" Seth taunted.
