Only one girl had ever been able to dance in the red ballet slippers, and she had been dancing for as long as anyone could remember. Everyone else who had tried to take her place had died from trying to keep up with the shoes. The girl's dance was ever-changing yet constant, and she was always alone save for the man that watched her every day. She had been cursed by his ancestor - cursed to dance forever. She never stopped, she never ate, and she knew that she would always be alone.

Everything changed the day that the man brought his brother to the theater.
