Chapter 6
I don't like the idea that Grandfather proposed. Considering that 'Dezyn', a wild 'creature' is on the loose, raping and murdering innocent knows! My dear Grandfather could be his next victim.
Months passed, and we have no news of 'Dezyn'.
I talked with my grandfather, and asked to replied that unless 'Dezyn' is revealed to be dead or imprisoned, I'm not safe yet.
I understood that he wanted to protect me…
Over my course of stay in Japan, I've been reacquainted to most people there.I've stayed with Runo's again. And many people commented on how all of us have grown with time.
Sigh, I just miss the old time…
"Masquerade…" I absentmindedly murmured to myself
"Huh?" Runo inquired.
"Oh, nothing. Just… talking to myself again."
"Oh, for a second there, I thought I heard you said Masquerade"
My heart nearly skipped a beat.
"Oh… Maybe she meant a masquerade ball!" Julie said.
"Uh… What's a 'Masquerade ball'?" Runo asked.
"It's a party where people who attend must wear masks to conceal their faces." I explained
"I heard that a rich woman loves to throw parties like that." Chan informed.
"Really? Where!" Julie cried out.
"Here in Warnington."
"What!?!?!?" We all shouted.
"Yep. She's here in Warnington. Catch is she sends invites for who her guests are."
"Oh… If she sends one of you an invite, tell the others, kay?" Julie asked
"Huh? Why. As if she would send one of us an invite." Runo claimed
"She does randomly send her invites, so there might be a possibility." Chan pointed out
"Okay…"
"Why don't we check that new store over there?" Julie suggested
"So, that's what those invites are for…" I said
"Yes. Now that we know what these are for… Who would you give the remaining letters?" Mark asked
"Do you really need to ask?"
"Uh… yeah?"
"I know you know who we are talking about here"
"I don't know"
"Stop that…"
"I'm serious"
"Can't you take a hint!?!??!!"
"I know whom, I'm just kidding…"
"I and Alice just finished shopping with Julie and Chan at the mall" Runo said to her parents
"Runo, can we talk to you for a while?" Mr. Masaki said
"Uh… Sure?"
"If you please excuse me…" I politely said
I went up the stairs and into my room.
Runo's parents added a new guest room right next to her own room. Just in case things like sleepovers happen and there's not enough space on Runo's room.
As I placed my things on the bed, something caught my attention.
An elegant envelope lay on the on top of the desk.
I cautiously opened it and to my surprise…
It was an invitation letter for a Masquerade Ball being held here in Warnington
I need to tell the others. Maybe tomorrow cause being in the mall with Julie for a whole day: VERY TIRING
I went down stairs just in time to reach the end of the household's conversation.
"Alright, alright mom. I'll tell Dan right away" Runo said
"Uh… Excuse me? Did someone place an envelope on my desk?"I asked
"No one entered the room upstairs until now." Mrs. Masaki replied "Why?"
"I found this placed on the desk" I said as I showed the letter
"Oh… How wonderful. You're invited to a ball."
Now I wonder… Who could have sent the invitation letter?
End Chapter 6: Invitation (Alice/ Masquerade/ Alice)
