A New Beginning

Chapter 3
"Maddy, have you seen my mask?" asked Colin as he finished putting on his costume.
Madison, who was sitting in front of the mirror putting on her earrings, turned around.
"I believe you left it in the sitting room." She replied.
Colin smiled and thanks her, and soon enough Colin returned with his mask.
As Colin put on his half mask (one that only covered the top half of his face) Madison smiled.
"By the Lion's Mane!" Madison exclaimed. "Don't you look handsome! Why- if I hadn't known it was you I don't think I would have been able to tell you apart from everyone else."
Colin's costume was red and gold with his mask that had the look of a lion.
Colin laughed.
"Why thank you Miss Maddy!" Colin said, using his nickname for her. "Though I must say you look quite lovely yourself."
Madison had a light pink and lavender dress with matching wings and a matching half mask, she looked like a faerie.
Madison smiled and curtsied.
"Why thank you, My Lord." She said while kissing her husband.
A few minutes later they heard a knock on their front door.
Colin went to the window, looked out and smiled.
"Our son has arrived."
Madison smiled.
"Shall we?" said Colin offering Madison his arm.
Madison accepted his arm.
"We shall."
By the time they had gotten downstairs Will had already entered the house.
They said their hellos and then followed Will to the carriage.
As Madison entered she saw a familiar face.
"Why Sarah! What a pleasant surprise!" The young woman smiled at Madison.
"It is good to see you again Aunt Maddy."
By that time Will and Colin had sat down, Will next to Sarah, Colin next to Madison.
As the carriage began to move forward, Colin smiled at his niece.
"So when did you ask Sarah to the ball?" he asked Will.
Will smiled, "It was quite last minute actually, but I thought Sarah might enjoy it.
Sarah smiled and nodded, "I'm sure I will."
Sarah was the daughter of Colin's younger sister, Michelle; and even though Will and Sarah had not met until after the defeat of the Black Wizard, they were really close.
Everyone always thought that they were brother and sister; they were close enough to be.
Soon the carriage arrived, and everyone made sure that their masks were properly on their faces before exiting the carriage.
As they made their way up to Cair Paravel Colin said, "Why I must say that you make a lovely blue bird."
Sarah blushed.
Her gown was a mix of different shades of blue and the sleeves were long and almost like wings with a matching half mask of blue feathers.
Sarah smiled. "Thank you Uncle."
As they all joined with the throng that was going the castle doors, Sarah's smile grew; she had a feeling that tonight, was going to be a night to remember.
