Lady in the Satin Dress~"Thankful"

This is one of the more recent ones but I for one find it to be the best out of what I've written so far. Also fair warning, this one contains a bit of dark humor like most of my old writings.

Sharon was thankful that Kare wouldn't be at Kraig von Joseph's masquerade party. She knew Karen wasn't going to be there for a fact because she killed her. Sharon still had Karen's decapitated head in her purse. She adjusted her golden swan mask. All Sharon had to do was drop the head off in the kitchen. After that it would be out of her hands. She smoothed out her satin dress. 

"Come in, come in, Miss." von Joseph said kindly, in his heavily accented voice. Sharon thanked him and swiftly made her way to the kitchen after turning a corner. 

The chef, Tarence, was missing and Sharon had yet another reason to be thankful. Though he often forgot his glasses he was always very alert to every little sound around him. She tossed Karen's head as well as her purse for she had no more use for it once she removed her white and gold fan. 

Sharon now made her way to the dance floor. It was packed and because of th4e masks she couldn't recognize anyone. Sharon meandered  about for some time growing steadily more anxious because of her previous axactions, when a  figure approached her. He was tall and wore a dazzling yet mysterious elephant mask. It's trunk curled up high and proud. The man offered Sharon his hand. 

"Shall we dance madam?" he asked. 

"Oh certainly sir!" Sharon said taking his hand.

As she danced with him all her worries melted away. She was thankful for him for distracting her, and even more thankful that no one had asked about Karen. After they had danced for a few hours, the elephant masked man asked, "It's a wonderful night tonight, would you like to go outside?"

"Oh that would be lovely." Sharon chirped. They made their way out to the balcony. 

There were many dazzling stars out, and Sharon looked to her dance mate. She spoke after a moment, "I know the whole point of this party is about secrecy, but may I ask for your name." 

"It's Kurt, and you." 

"Sharon." she said, and to her horror, Kurt's mask's mouth began to curl up and melt into his face. His figure began to expand and widen. Soon he had formed into an entire elephant.

"Sharon you are under arrest for the murder of a fellow boomer, on behalf of the Boomer Police." he boomed

Author's Note

Once again with the grammar and all that jazz, I tried to fix as much as i can but once again, I'm a young writer so the grammar and stuff may not be so good so please bare in mind. Also don't question the one von Joseph guy's name I thought that it was funny and didn't want to change it here. Thanks! ~Borealis :)
