The Ball

Hey people,along with my updates i will leave notes so that i can inform you of stuff.Just so you guys know,this story is happening in the 18th century and i might leave hints of history in it.This is just to clear any confusion that you might have.Also,Carson will be called Caen by Cassandra,its just a little nick name that i created.Well hope you enjoy the 3rd chapter.

3.The Ball

Father was immediately examined and it was confirmed that he had gone into shock,it was not critical but he needed to rest-since he had been working instead of sleeping.The doctor had also come to check on my mother,he said that her condition was not improving but it was getting worse-much worse.Caen was to stay here until father had recovered,and so he had to look into father's affairs-and deal with the me who was confused about everything.The night after the incident happened Caen had called for me,because he needed to clear things out between us.So,i went to his private rooms to discuss this matter further.

(knock,knock)
"Come in Cassandra",i heard someone say-it was obviously him of course.
"I am sorry to disturb you at such a time".
"No,not at all-i have been expecting you".
"May i have a seat?"
"Yes,please do".
"Your father wants you to know that a party is going to be held here for your 16th birthday,and it is also to celebrate my 20th birthday".
"Oh,i forgot-our birthday's are on the same date September 24!"
"Anyway,he also wants to announce our engagement "
(sudden silence)
"You should know that i am still the same person you used to hug and play with all the time".
"I can see that,its just that i want to choose the person i want to be with for myself!"
"Just so you know,i have no objections Cass"
"I am leaving now-i don't want to hear anymore of this nonsense"
"Wait!i am not finished yet"
(Door slams)

I have no idea of how i could get out of this mess.While walking back to my room i thought of something,but it was my only option.That is to escape from all this and live in peace,but how-Hmm.............i know the party!at the night of the party i will escape.

Meanwhile,Carson had gone to see Cassandra's father and to discuss about Jonathan's(Cassandra's father) will.

"May i come in father?"
"Yes,please come in and make yourself comfortable".
"Are you getting better?"
"Yes,i think its about time i started working again-i cant stand to just sit here and do nothing!"
"I have told Cassandra about everything and she is not too excited about it".
"Well she has to agree in order to inherit the family fortune".
"But she does not know that and i don't want her to marry me just for the money!"
"Don't fret lad,you have 2 more years to get to know each other".
"Yes,but i still think its a little to early to announce anything".
"The sooner the better,thats how i see it".
"Will king George The III be there?"
"Of course,i want it to be the best ball anyone has ever seen!"
"I would like to ask something of you".
"Yes,what is it?"
"I refuse to invite the Cresent's!"
"I know how you feel lad,but you know that you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer".
"I understand,well its about time i leave-Goodnight".
"Yes,Goodnight".
