Sweat trickled down my face as I struggled to parry Caleb's attacks.He really wasn't going easy on me.It was getting harder and harder to see his attacks coming until my sword finally broke and I fell to the ground."Fine,I admit defeat"I said with my hands raised up high in the air as I struggled to catch my breath.
He walked over to me and stretched out his hand for me to take.Though a part of me wanted to swat it away due to my crushing defeat,I took it and he helped me up.His eyes were looking straight past me so I turned only to see our sister Angelica making her towards us.
"I was looking for you"She said"You promised to go shopping with me".I had forgotten all about that.Saying goodbye to Caleb,I hurried to my room to get changed.
Since it was almost the triplets birthday,we decided to shop for some gifts.We went to different shops but none of them caught my eye except one.This looked to be an antique shop at the end of the street.
We went inside and an old looking spell book immediately piqued my interest.I decided to purchase the book for Nate who seemed interested in learning magic.Since I was here I bought an expensive looking brooch for Ronnie and a pet dove for Acarcia.
Later on we went to a boutique to buy a few dresses and some Jewelry.There was a pink sapphire necklace which I bought along with matching earrings and a diamond ring.

A week later
The day of the triplets birthday had arrived.A ball would be held to celebrate it.My dress had a sweetheart neckiline and delicate off shoulder straps decorated with floral lace appliqués with a clearly defined waist transitioning, from a fitted top to a full skirt.The skirt was extremely voluminous and layered made up of soft tulle,featuring cascading ruffles at the side and matching floral embroidery all paired with yellow gloves .My pink hair was curled and left to flow behind me.Ruby earrings adorned my ears.
A knock on the door caught my attention.Marcella opened it and I saw that Caleb had come to escort me to the ball.He was a custom made blue suit.The hall was decorated with candles and flowers everywhere.Some of the guests had already arrived and mingling with each other.The guy announced our arrival and we walked to our seats.
