Introduction Of Storm by Storm
It was late in November and I was preparing for what was going to be one of the most daunting experiences of my life. My name is Elle Freebush, nicknamed “Storm”. I was dressed in a luscious stylish Gucci dress, which had only one shoulder strap. It was a truly magnificent dress. I walked to the end of the hall and peered down the wonderfully designed staircase, at the bottom was Steven Booth, dressed in the most gorgeous Tuxedo. As a got to the bottom of the stairs we linked in arms and made our may most gracefully to the drawing room where the welcome party was being held. As we got closer the music grew louder. As we drew nearer to the room I was placed in an almost hypnotic effect, most perhaps due to the nerves. Steven whispered to me that this was it. He opened the huge masculine doors, and I found many people inside, drinking luxurious champagne. As we walked in I was dazed. I did not know what to do but hen Steven informed me that I was at my seat. I was sat next to Steven across from Shockwave who was sat next to Shadow. The evening progressed quite well, I was rather enjoying myself when suddenly this tall character burst in and started shouting at the top of his voice. He came up to Steven who was sat next to me. I was very much informed that this was Flynn Ryan King of the Red Court. He kept saying that Steven had ruined the Hell Fire Club; I obviously interrupted him saying that if he had not been so arrogant then maybe no one would have left. But then he started at me, saying that how would you know hurling abuse at me. I was by now rather upset and looked at Steven who immediately got up from his seat and said that Flynn did not belong here and that he should go now. The tension in the room grew higher as Flynn yelled abuse to almost everyone. Two enormous bodyguards threw him out of the Castle. After gossip had finished conversation became normal again.
By now it was rather late and I became quite relaxed due to the amount of champagne I had drunk. I became involved in a conversation with Shockwave. Shockwave had a wonderful personality and she was really nice to me. Shockwave and I became good friends quickly because we had rather a lot in common. When we had finished talking I went over to an unusual looking person stood in the darkness of the corner trying not to attract much attention. I went over to him and asked him his name he replied Epyon. He was the Purple Knight. I began talking to him and I was rather amused by his rather reluctant participation in the conversation. I could tell that I needed to build up his confidence. After Epyon and I were finished I went over to a woman and engaged in conversation she was really nice and made me feel much better because of all the compliments she gave me. She introduced herself as Scarlett Mistress. She was really pretty and knew that she would not have much problem finding a man friend. We started talking about girly things like where we shop and so on. And she was a really nice woman I knew that her and I were going to be the best of friends. A while later as I was standing at the bar, a man came up next to me and said you must be Elle, I replied yes and he introduced himself as Ian Fitzroy. He told me he was the Purple Rook. He told me what he used to work as and I was extremely intrigued by his life story. A while later, I started to become very tired and I decided to retire to my room.
The following day, I decided that I wanted to do some shopping, I asked Scarlett Mistress to come with me. II went to her room and she invited me in. I invited her and she accepted with much delight. She then told me to get ready for breakfast. I suddenly realised that I was in my nightclothes and I had to be at breakfast in three minutes. I rushed frantically to my room pulling anything out of my large wardrobe slipped it on and made my way to the dining hall. Steven, who was sat at the very end of the long table, indicated where I had to sit. I was sat across from Shadow and nest to Xeus, the Purple Bishop. Later on the very exotic breakfast arrived I had meat, eggs, pretty much everything you would expect really. Steven, while swallowing the half masticated slice of bacon, pointed behind me telling me that this was my Butler. I was shocked as I thought only the Inner Circle got Butlers but apparently everyone is treated as an equal. After my little surprise I retired to my room. I told Scarlett Mistress that we would go shopping after breakfast. She came to my room with me. We got changed into something more appropriate. I was wearing a lovely Gucci trouser suite just like Scarlett Mistress’ but hers was Emporio Armani.
I told Alfred my butler who was also from London, England, to get my friend and me a long white Limousine. And so he did it was parked outside the front entrance and suddenly, just then, Shockwave came running over and asked if she could come. We both replied yes of course. When we had set of we all had ideas of what we wanted to buy. As I didn’t know Jamaica very well I asked the driver to take us to the biggest shopping mall in Jamaica.
When we arrived at the Mall. We all went for a coffee at the coffee house at the entrance to the mall. We all had our credit and were really excited about today. Later hour after hour passed and the girls and I were not in the least bored, we could have shopped forever if it wasn’t for the time. We told the driver to pick us up. Later on as we pulled outside the Castle we had bags upon bags of shopping. I could defiantly say that this was a girl’s day out and we had a really good time as well. As I was in my room unpacking all my clothes into their places, Shockwave came in saying that we should do something like that again. I agreed and we were going to plan it for next time. Later on Shockwave, Scarlett Mistress and I were all in the library talking about men that we had seen at the mall. I was reading when Epyon interrupted me, he told me that Steven wanted to see me. As I walked nearer his office I became really anxious because I didn’t know what he was going to tell me. When I went in he told me to sit in the chair in front of his desk. After a few moments he told me that if ever I wanted to speak to someone that I could always go to him because no matter what the problem was he said he would do his best to resolve the situation. From then on I thought Steven as a father figure someone I could go to if I was ever scared.
Later I saw an advertisement for the Miss World beauty talent contest. I told the girls and they said with much anticipation that they were very interested. But the auditions were not for another six months so that was something to look forward too. Shockwave told me later that day that there was a Court gathering where all the courts come to the castle. And that was tonight! I was really nervous then because I was going to meet other members of different courts. I went to my room because the party was in three hours. I groomed for an hour and then I dressed up in a gorgeous purple skirt outfit with high heel shoes. And put on a really beautiful Cartier palette bracelet and necklace with matching earrings, I could truly say that I looked stunning. Not too over the top just perfect for the occasion. Shockwave came in afterwards, for a starter drink I got out the champagne and we had a glass each. About half an hour later the girls from my rank came in and Scarlett Mistress also did. We were really exited because after all we had to make a good impression.
That evening at about eight o’clock the girls and I made our way to the main hall. The Queen was obviously at the front because she was the most important although she did not blab about her authority. Then Xeus, who had tagged along, because he was Bishop. When we arrived I the main hall the men were all already there. The girls sat together on one large table. We discussed other members and each other’s experience in the Hell Fire Club. Obviously the main subject of conversation was of the red courts absents due to them not being invited because of Flynn’s past behaviour. After a minute or so I went to the bar to order the girls some drinks. Then this woman introduced herself to me it was Marvel girl she told me that she was the Grey Queen and that I must be Storm and that she had heard so much about me. I said nothing bad and went to my place bringing Marvel Girl with me. Shockwave who obviously knew her already said hi and the Marvel girl sat next to me. After a while of conversation the girls went of and left me on my own.
A while later, a women came over and sat next to me. She told me that she was Monet, Black Princess. I was rather shocked because I had never heard of a princess before, she told me where she was based and how she came to be in the Hell Fire Club. She was an intriguing person and I was still quite nervous. By now the evening was well underway and the party was starting to get lively. Steven was telling me that I should make very good connections with all these important people.
I was sat at the table for quite some time; I was becoming really quite bored. Just then Shockwave came up to me and asked me if I liked anyone I had seen yet? I told her that there were some pretty good-looking men, but I was not to tell. It was soon rather late and people were starting to go to there guest rooms. I thought I may retire to bed also as I was rather drunk due to the alcoholic beverage I had consumed. I went to bed and fell asleep almost as my head touched the pillow. As I was dozing of I could hear this mumbling in the bathroom, I was scared so I rang for assistance. When I got out of bet the mumbling stopped. I started to walk over to the restroom door. As I went to grab the handle, it burst right open this tall dark figure stood in front of me. No idea who or what it was I turned and ran to the front door. He grabbed me and turned me around, he, I figured it was a he because he had a really masculine voice. I peered into his bloodshot eyes; I had seen this person before I was certain. He told me that if I was to tell anyone what he was to say then I would of sentenced myself to death. As he opened his mouth to say what he was going to say guards came flooding in dragging this somewhat familiar looking man to the ground. As the guards escorted the man out Steven Booth came in. He asked me what had he done to me? I told him that he did nothing but scared me. Steven informed me that it was Flynn the “RED KING” that was until his court went boom. I informed Steven that Flynn was about to tell me something important. That was until the guards barged in quite rightly. In enquired about Flynn and what his problem was. Steven just told me that it was an inner circle situation and that I had nothing to worry about. That night I was very weary of going to sleep. Eventually I did get to sleep at about three o’clock in the morning.
The following day, it was around eight o’clock when I woke up, and I could here voices outside my room door. I got out of bed and put my nightdress on, I went to the door and opened it to find these three very hansom men. They told me that they were here to fit an alarm system. I invited them in and asked them of how long this procedure would take. One of them turned around and said too me that it may vary we cannot be sure. I thought to myself that these people would be a long while so I decided to go and talk to Steven. I walked down the somewhat long corridor to his office. I told his secretary that I was a member and that I needed to see him immediately. Se gazed at me over the top of her narrow spectacles, implying that she was somewhat more senior than me. I said to her in a rather arrogant voice that I needed to see him and I walked passed her with my nose held high. I walked threw to his office. Steven was at his desk. He invited me to sit in the seat in front of his desk. As I sat he told me that he was glad that I had came because he wanted to ask me a few questions about my past life. I knew I was going to be talking for quite some time so I got myself a glass of water and then went and sat down.
He then asked me if I was settling all right? I told him that the event involving Flynn rattled me slightly I was not at all bothered about it. I also told him that I had made several friends and I was enjoying my first week.
After Steven and I had finished, I decided that I wanted to do something. I went to my room and changed into my sports clothes. I walked down to the tennis courts where a man was sat on a bench at the side. He looked alone so I went to him and asked him if he would be so kind as to give me a game? He accepted the offer and soon we were well underway. When we started pace fully hitting the ball I asked him who he was? He told me his name was Shadow. I told him respectfully that I was Elle Freebush or as some people call me “Storm”. After the match which ended, score three sets too one. He asked me if we could meet up again, I accepted. I made my way to the castle for a quick luxurious shower. Shadow shouted to me “A good game thank you!” I smiled and carried on to the Castle.
A little while later when I returned to my room I found that the men had gone. There was a piece of paper on my bed. I went over and read it, it read:
“Dear Miss Freebush
Sorry but you were not present when we left so I wrote you this note. All you need to do is type in your code of four digits and press the green button. If you have any problems than please ring 001836473562
Thank-you
Ryan Oliver”
When I had finished reading the somewhat scruffy writing, which was stuck on the creased up sheet of paper. I placed it into my address book, so if anything should go wrong then I always had the number there. I cleared my room of all the soot and dust. After two hours of extensive cleaning I was exhausted and had to relax for a little while. I lay on my bed with my front door open because I wanted to air the room out. Scarlett Mistress walked in shouting “I’ve got it” consecutively about three times. I asked her Got What? She then went on to say that she had won an audition for the Miss World beauty pageant. I was delighted to hear it and we decided that we would go out and celebrate.
It was four day until the audition and I was anxious to get my mail the following day.
