I held the gun threateningly at him but still shook a little. "God, who are you?"
"I am Joshua, milady. I came to see Raven. My foolish Aunt Harriet told me she was here. Do you know where she is?" Said Joshua startled.
"If you're with her you better leave before my finger finds the trigger." I said his words not fully processing in my mind.
"Sir," Caleb spoke softly and gently pulled me away from the door. "I am sorry for my sister but as I am sure she is rather shaken. Who are you?"
"I just... Read Full Chapter

My wary eyes were split apart by the sound of sobs. In my flimsy nightgown, I rushed downstairs to find Caleb embracing a shaking Raven. "Caleb? Raven? Is everything alright?"
"Okay, that would be splendid." She said answering something Caleb asked. "And good morning to you, Clarissa." She said wiping tears from her eyes. With a sudden realization, she cried, "Oh, today is the ball! How glorious!" she walked to the dining area.
I looked at Caleb confused but he only dismisses it with a wave o... Read Full Chapter

I sat in my chair watching the window for a sign of something. The candle flickered and I focused on my breathing but when the door creaked I launched up so fast I had to pause to let the stars dance out of my vision. It was Caleb as expected. "Caleb, I wad wondering where you were." I said going in for a hug but a girl was behind him and I froze. "Raven? What are you doing here?"
"Harriet and Alistair was chasing us. But Caleb saved us! Oh joy, you should be grateful you have a good brother ... Read Full Chapter

I was running so fast I felt I would trip over my own hem. I swear it was him but it couldn't be! He was in London for my sister's wedding. I crossed the street and passed an empty carriage that just seemed abandoned there. I rounded the corner at such a speed I slammed into the thin blonde boy. "CALEB!" I screamed hugging him. Then I noticed the black-haired girl cowering behind him. "Raven?! What's wrong?!"
"Y-Yes, I-I'm s-sure I-I'll b-be o-okay." A hideous woman who looked as if a bag of ... Read Full Chapter

When I entered the ribbon shop the first thing I noticed was my sister following Henrietta around like a puppy. "Marie!" I exclaimed happily. "I see you met the lovely Henrietta. Oh, and our new friend, Raven." I picked up Marie. "Did you want something Marie?"
"I liked that ribbon!" Marie pointed to a lacy blue and pink streamer.
I laughed. "How am I not surprised? We shall wait for you to be done with Raven though, Miss." I said smiling at Henrietta.
Raven noticed me and said, "Oh, hello th... Read Full Chapter

After having the talk with Sebastian that I couldn't stop thinking about, I got to pick up my little sister who was coming down to stay at the house with me for a little before returning to London for my sister's wedding. Suddenly, I saw a girl delivering milk on my doorstep and I wanted to tip her. " Oh, hello." I said greeting her. I pulled out my purse and handed her two pence. " I'm sorry it's not much but it's all I can afford with the ball tomorrow."
She took the money with a curt nod ... Read Full Chapter

I walked leisurely through the park. I began to sing one of my favorite Italian songs as I gently perused through the gardens. "I'm sorry to intrude but may I say you have a very lovely voice." A voice said though my singing.
Startled, I jumped a little. A tall boy with black hair handsomely stood before me. I curtsied with a slight blush. "Thank you, sir. I have to say you gave me quite a fright. I have not seen another here for quite a while." I said motioning to nearly-empty garden.
He gav... Read Full Chapter
