The ball

(Sam's POV)

Nevra had gone outside to the servants' quarters leaving Cornwallis and I alone. We walked down the long hallway till we got to Matthew and I quarters. He knocked on the door waited a few seconds then opened it and shoved me in quickly closing the door me.

"Ow! Gee thanks." I said rolling my eyes.

I turned around to see Matthew looking at me like a ghost.

"Why are you looking at me like a ghost?"

"Samantha" he said coming up to me and hugging me, "I am so sorry, I never meant it I never meant any of it." And drawing me closer he kissed me. The kiss was deep and when we pulled away I was in shock.

"You know its been 2 years always forgiven." I said with a laugh. He hugged me.

(A week later) (Mary's POV)

We were at another grand ball. I was bored out of my mind.

"What's the matter you look bored." Will said.

"I am bored out of my mind."

"How do you think I felt?"

"I feel your pain." I said patting his upper back.

"Mary, I don't feel good. Nauseating really and Matthew is drunk." Sam said coming up to us.

"Really well come on then."

"If Bordon is looking for you I will tell him you're not feeling well."

"Okay thank you." Of course this wasn't true. We had a soccer game that night and we had to go so we came up with a plan since we were restricted from certain areas so we had to sneak out when we wanted to get out. Sam was supposed to pretend to not feel well and we had to come up with an excuse so Bordon doesn't take her up so we came up with a "drunken" plan and since nobody would really notice Nevy she just snuck out. The plan worked we got upstairs went into our quarters got dressed into "future" styles grabbed our bags with the soccer gear in it and left putting invisible cloaks over our body's so they wouldn't see us.

We went to the spot were we said we would meet and Nevra was sitting there with a scared look on her face.

"I can't come to the game. Can you tell coach Vivicio?"

"Sure but what's wrong?"

"They only gave me 5 minutes to be here before they will come for me and that time is almost up so have fun and win the game, okay?"

"Okay, see ya." We said giving here a big hug.
