Sayann was an angel and helped me get ready for the party. I wanted to look really special tonight. It seemed the past few months all I got to wear was pj’s or hospital gowns. I was so over that. It was nice to have a friend caring for me and helping me.
Dad had a home nurse set up when we arrived. Pratt was quick to tell him Sayann was specialized in caring for recovering cancer patients, so dad cancelled the one he had hired. It was critical I be kept away from any “human” medical professionals. If they saw my temp chart or heard my heart rate, they would be calling Ripley’s believe it or not and the National news. I could see the headlines now “THE GIRL WHO SHOULD BE DEAD… LIVES” that would be just great.
Sayann helped me out of the bathtub, although I could walk now, we had to be careful since I was still wobbly on my feet. We washed and curled my hair and put some make up on to give me some “human” color. I found the perfect red dress to wear just right for the holiday dinner.
It had a beautiful satin bow’s on each shoulder, and a matching shawl to go with it. I wore the diamond earrings and heart pendant dad had given me for my Christmas gift just that morning. I of course had on my engagement ring, which I would never take off for any reason. I knew this night was going to be perfect, as long as Sara chilled out.
“You look stunning, like one of those porcelain dolls.” Sayann smiled proudly. Her master skills at makeup and hair were evident on me.
“I thought you said you were studying to be a nurse, not a beautician?” I joked, but was really shocked at how she wrangled a curling iron.
“Oh… well I was, but I spent the first year in beauty school. My parents forced me to go into nursing, so I lied to them and each day instead of attending nursing classes I was learning to perm and cut hair.”
“Oh my gosh, didn’t your parents know?”
“Nope, not for almost a year. I had been paying for it out of my summer job money and getting the mail each day so they wouldn’t see the bill form the beauty college.” I watched her pack up her makeup kit and hair curlers.
“It all worked out great, until one month I forgot to get the mail on the day the semester billing came out. My parents flipped when they found it, and well...” She gave me a wicked grin, and laughed. “I was enrolled in nursing school the next week. I learned to like it, and I was actually at the top of my class before I met that butt head Kyle. You know the story from there.” She frowned looking thought fully at her makeup case.
“Well you’re awesome at it, that’s for sure. I looked like hell when you started an hour ago!”
“No you didn’t Corrine; you just needed some polishing up that’s all. The change is nearly complete in you; your features are even more beautiful than when I met you in the Dark coven house.”
“Thanks.” I smiled.
“I must say, I do like the whole vampire hotness thing, it’s so cool to look amazing all the time.” I laughed as she gave me a wink. “Especially the guys!” Sayann herself was stunning, as I watched her hang up some outfits we decided I shouldn’t wear.
Her long strait hair was lustrous and silky. She wore a black dress, which fit her like a glove and showed of her tiny figure. Her eyes were so dark, it was hard to tell what color, but they were perfectly set, she looked like a super model.
“Do you think Roth will notice me tonight?”
“Are you kidding? He will trip over his own feet when he see’s you in that dress! You had better bring a stick with you to dinner, because you’re going to have to beat him off of you with it!” I laughed. “Do you think my hair looks good?” I asked as I pulled a loose curl.
“Oh yes, it does look great! You are going to need your own stick tonight, William will go crazy!” She smiled.
I felt truly happy right now, it seemed like things were finally getting better around here. I was also really excited to see Beth and Kara tonight. Gran had invited them to come have
