**ADDIE'S POV**
As I walked down the stairs with my entourage, I saw that there was no one else around. Had they all left already? Was I running late? I didn't think that I was going to be the last to arrive at the grand ballroom that was near the auditorium. I was starting to get a little nervous about this whole situation.
"Good evening, Addie." I heard Hollis call out to me once I was at the bottom of the stairs. When I turned to face him, I saw that he had one attendant and one guard with him. Both were men that looked to be a little wary of the situation and a lot angry at me. What was their problem?
"Good evening, Hollis. You look amazing." I said as I looked at him. He truly did look great. His suit was similar to mine, but not as finely detailed. He had dressed in a white suit that had trim done in black and red, the traditional colors of this cold season.
