I was always a bit of an air-head, even in elementary school. Instead of playing with the other kids, I'd just sit somewhere and read, though my most beloved genres at the time were mysteries, fantasy, and adventure.
When I came into middle school and high school, I developed an odd fascination with fairytales and gothic romances. I enjoyed the imagery I got from them, the feel that there was something nearby, something dark and enchanting. The fact that my teachers fed me poets like Edgar Allen Poe only helped my obsession.

(view spoiler)[It's an age old lesson about what happens when human cruelty goes unchecked. Just as some societies in this day and age force upon an unknowing innocent the title of a 'Sacrificial Lamb', Masquerade provides insight as to what happens when a person with that title has a means to fight back, when they were thrust into the fray at such a young age, when they feel so abandoned that they just give into their demons.
There are two key characters in the story; Rose, the woman/witch at the party, and Nikolai, the protagonist of the story. Nikolai makes a Faustian deal with Rose. Well, from what you've seen from the ending, we know what happens. What you are seeing are basically moments from the past and present. At the end is when those two things are blurred together; because of Nikolai's desire for revenge, and the fact that he will not let go of the past, the two become one in the same for him.
And you're absolutely right! The story not only provides a narrative from Rose's point of view, but because she's so infatuated/obsessed/in love with Nikolai, she's able to see through his eyes as well. It's an analysis of his life and emotions, and through that something can be said of Rose's character as well. Though she's a witch, she's just so empty that it almost feels like she's latched onto Nikolai, if only to provide her a means of feeling alive again.
