Masquerade Ball

 Lady Rebecca White received a missive. It said , they had to urgently meet . Quickly she got dressed and left to meet them.  They gathered in their favourite place . Their friend’s    drawing room. Amidst their excited chatter. They quickly settled down . 

Lady Martha began “ Tonight we have to be very vigilant . It is rumoured Marquis Dane , is supposed to grace the occasion “.

He was noted to be handling a very complex

 spy ring . They were rumoured to be infiltring the enemy circles . 

They all decided to start spying tonight !!

Lady Rebecca White dressed in a wine coloured laced gown . It enhanced her light colouring and her sparkling green eyes . She looked simply stunning . As usual ,she was always unaware of the effect she  had on everyone. She was well loved and well liked !!

She finally reached the ball !! Her mask in place . Her friends gathered near the garden . They quickly discussed and dispersed. Lady Rebecca White danced a few numbers. She was meeting a lot of people. But there was still no sign of the marquis. 

Lady Rebecca White stepped out for sometime. She wanted a breath of fresh air . She was walking and sitting in the gazebo enjoying the quiet moment . Suddenly she heard a footfall. 

She turned and just then she saw someone coming towards her . 

A tall man wearing a mask . His eyes shown in tawny brilliance . They were piercing and looked right into her soul . 

He walked towards her and greeted in a deep voice” A breath of fresh air ! We all come searching for it ! Lucky for me ! I also found the most exquisite flower “! 

They got talking . And suddenly the moon shone brilliantly. She was pulled closed and kissed deeply. And just as fleetingly he vanished before she could gather her wits !!

Stay tuned for more !!
