Mrs. Butler: Thank you for reviewing, I love your name BTW, I hope you enjoy the sequel.
Angeloftheoperahouse: Okay, okay, okay, I will write the freakin sequel, but only because I love you so much.
mrsgerrybutler13: I'm glad you loved the story, I am also happy that you want a sequel, I lost like 3/4 of my readers half way through the first story.
(This is a sequel to "The Life I've Never Known" so if you haven't read it, I don't know, you might get it, but you might not. I am very thankful to all those who read the last story faithfully, and I hope you all enjoy this story. P.S: I don't know what to call this so for now it will be "Untittled")
Chapter 1: Masquerade
Eminique looked at his pocket watch and wondered why women always took so long to get ready. He shut the flap of the watch and admired the engraving on the front. He had gotten the watch on his 11 birthday, which had only been 5 years ago.
"GABRIELLE!" he yelled although she was in the next room. "WE NEED TO GO."
"I'm coming." he heard her yell from behind the door.
About 30 seconds later, Gabrielle came out with her head down, and still pulling on her gloves. She looked up at her brother and smiled.
"How do I look?" She asked going up on the balls of her feet then quickly going back to flat feet.
"You look great, now let's go, Mother and Father have already left."
Gabrielle rolled her eyes and walked off after her brother. Eminique waited with the carriage door open, as Gabrielle took her time to walk to the carriage. While standing there, Eminique pulled his head back and stared at the sky, finally Gabrielle reached the carriage. Eminique helped her in, and got in after her. They were both silent for the whole ride, and after about 10 minutes of the silence, the carriage came to a stop. Eminique got out first, and helped Gabrielle out. Today was Gabrielle's 12 birthday, and in celebration, her Mother and Father had decided on throwing a Masquerade, but since her Father still had a problem with going out in public, they had decided to have it at her Mother's best friends house, Meg. She looked up at the three story house as she walked up to the thick oak door. Eminique knocked and waited for the door to open, although he had been told a thousand times by Meg, that he was to walk in, not knock. Christine opened the door and instantly grabbed Gabrielle in a hug.
"You look so beuatiful." Christine said as she pulled away from the hug.
Gabrielle smiled and walked past her mother intothe house. She reconized family friends, her friends and her Mother's and Father's friends. Although all of the people there were good friends, her Father stayed in the shadows, just looking at all the things that were going on. After about 15 minutes of visiting with her guest, Gabrielle was asked to dance by one of her Mother's friends sons, and she didn't want to be rude, so she was swept onto the dance floor by the young gentleman, and started into the waltz. The song ended, and Gabrielle curtsied to her partner, and walked off to find her brother. She found Eminique standing against a wall talking with her father. Gabrielle didn't like to interupt when her Father and brother got into a conversation, so she walked off once more to find her mother. While walking among the people, Gabrielle noticed a strage face, someone who she had never seen before. She went on her tippy-toes to get a better look at him, but as a person passed, he was gone. Disapointed, Gabrielle walked towards her mother, who was talking with Meg.
"Who was that man?" she wondered to herself as she came upon her Mother.
"Are you having fun?" Her Mother asked noticing the worried look on her daughters face.
"Yes," she said coming back to reality, "Thank you so much for letting us have the Masquerade here Meg."
"Your welcome." Meg said with a smile, then went back into the conversation she had been having with Christine.
Gabrielle wandered around more looking for the stranger who had disappeared into the crowd so mysteriously. She found him standing against a wall, and started in his direction. But he was gone into the crowd once again.
(I had a hard time getting started, but I finally got it. Hope you all enjoyed. Please R&R for if my demands are ignored, a disaster beyond your imagination will occur.)
