(A/N so sorry this took so long. Right, do ya want a final definite end or do ya want a cliffhanger followed by a sequel)
Chapter 10 By Moonlight
Lan realised that his search through the crowd downstairs was futile so he ran up the stairs and ran his eyes over the crowd below. He spotted Nynaeve talking to two women in the corner. One had raven black hair piled on top of her head and the other had mousy brown hair that hung to her shoulders. By all the arm waving and head shaking the three seemed to be arguing.
This took Lan one glance before he darted down the stairs towards Nynaeve.

"Your being silly Yana," Velina said. "You're imagining this. He has simply mistaken you for someone else." Yana really had to exhibit self-control by not strangling her on the spot.
"No. You don't understand, I feel like I know him." Yana pleaded but she knew it was hopeless. Both Black sisters had lost interest and were anxiously watching the dance floor.
Yana sighed and turned her attention to the dancers. The child she was watching earlier was dancing with a tall dark haired man and another woman with blonde curls and a lion mask danced with a man in a blue coat. She recognised both men as being on the pay roll of the Black Ajah. As the song ended the two men escorted thee two young women out into the gardens.
"Ah, it seems as though it's our turn," Velina said. She and her companion moved towards the doors. "Keep an eye out will you Yana, there's a good girl."
As she left Yana felt her anger swell. The cheek of the woman. She felt a sharp pain in her head as she pulled violently on one of her curls. Other men left for the garden through different doors. She was so agitated she didn't notice the man in the wolf mask step up beside her, making her jump out of her skin when he said "Old habits die hard, hum?"
:):)
Egwene stepped outside with her handsome partner, enjoying the walk among the rose garden. Obviously he didn't know whom she was or else he would have run screaming back to the house. Up ahead Elayne walked with her partner who was equally handsome. When they had been asked to walk with the two good looking friends Egwene and Elayne were so flattered they couldn't refuse. It was a beautiful night with the moonlight reflected in the lake and shimmering off the wet roses. However Egwene felt uneasy, as if she was being watched. She could have sworn she had seen something in the shadows.
The couple stopped and looked back to the house, which was quite some way behind them.
"Elayne, I think we should return to the house now," she called. Elayne nodded and started towards Egwene only to be stopped by her partner who wore a blue coat.
"I'm sorry, but you're not going anywhere," he said, keeping his voice low and threatening.
Elayne and Egwene drew on Saidar as more men dived from the bushes followed by two women. Both held Saidar.
"Black Ajah," Egwene muttered.
:):)
Yana tried to walk away but the man held onto her arm in a death grip.
"Nynaeve, don't walk away from me. Don't you know me?" he pleaded.
"I am not this Nynaeve and nor do I know who you are," she said avoiding his icy gaze. The man seemed not to have heard her last speech.
"Oh Nynaeve," he said drawing her closer, his hand caressed her face, "what has happened?" She felt herself rest her cheek on his palm and close her eyes. Just feeling how good it was to be near him. And then she felt it.
