Angelica's house was not very that far. Only a mile away. But as I was approaching her house, I could only think of what I said to Mr. Bagans. Oh how I felt so stupid. I felt like I needed to apologize to him. This is going to bother me until I see him again.

I could her the thunder approaching, and roaring in the distance. I pulled back the curtain a little. A major storm was coming. It was quiet. And I am alone. Maybe I should have bung my nurse with me so I should not feel alone. But somehow. I don't feel alone. I feel like that I am being followed. I turn around and look out the little black window. There was a man. A man on a horse coming straight at my carriage. I pulled the window down and yelled to the driver. "Hurry. Please. Someone is following us. Hurry!! Please!!!!" I closed the window and sat straight back into my seat. I felt the carriage go faster and faster. I looked behind the little window, and saw that he was coming faster. I closed my eyes. Hoping that this was just another dream. But when I opened my eyes, it was not a dream. Then I felt the carriage make a hard left turn. I Looked at the back window. The man disappeared. Just disappeared into the mist. I was very questionable about this. But at the same time, I was frightened. My driver almost got killed. And I almost got killed too.

We made it safely to Angelica's's house. He home was huge. Her home was the "Gone With the Wind" Tara Theme plantation. But bigger and more elegant. Her mom and my mother are going on "vacation" together. I just hope both of my parents are safe. And I hope they make it home soon.

I arrived under the canopy in front of her house. She wore a light rose pink dress, with ruffles all around. With the matching pearls and earring I got for her on he birthday. She always knew when I would stop by, and have tea with her, or just talk all day. We've known each other since we were just baby's . We would play together out in the open woods not to far from where we both lived. Angelica used to live close to me. But she moved farther away about 2 years ago. But we've got around to seeing each other. And that's what made us happy.

My driver opened my door and helped me out. Angelica and I had the most biggest smile on our faces when we see each other. I got out of my carriage. "It's about to storm. Go to the carriage house and take a rest. Until the storm passes." I said to my driver. "Thank you." He said. And he closed the carriage door, got on it, and left for the carriage house.

"Oh Shelby." Angelica ran down the porch steps, and hugged me. I hugged her back. "Oh Shelby. How I missed you so much. We need to see each other more often. How have you been?" We let go of each other and walked into the house. "Oh I missed you too Angelica. I've been very busy lately. How are you?" I said. Angelica too my coat and set it down. "Oh I've been very bust too. Seeing a very handsome man." She said blushing. She has been seeing a solider for the past moth or so. She's been very happy.

She escorted me into the tea room. We were laughing. Then I see another woman. Two actually. A woman who I've never seen before, and Angelic's little sister. She had golden curly hair, she wore the same dress as Angelica, but the dress was to her ankles. That's what they wore. If you are younger than 17. You have to wear your dress to your ankles. And Angelica's little sister is only 13 years old. Her name wad Noel.

"Shelby!" Noel said in a cheerful voice. She ran and hugged me. "I've missed you. The last time Angelica and I saw you, is when we went horseback riding in Whales." I smiled and laughed. Noel always brung the little kid out of me. She does that with everyone. "Oh. And Shelby. I need to introduce you to somebody." She grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the myseryous woman. " Miss. Allison. Meet Miss. York. Miss Donna York." My eyes went big. Miss. Your was the 2nd wealthiest woman in London. But not here. But her money and husband are useful.

"Hello. Shelby." Miss. York said. She turned her seat and looked at me with a smile. She had a really dark green dress on that was covered with black lace. She had a black feathered hat on. "Hello. Miss. York." I said almost trembling.

"I'll go and get the fresh tea." Angelica said leaving the room. I just stood there looking at Miss. York. I mean thank god I was did not faint in front of her. That's how nervous I was around her. "Please. Sit Miss. Allison." she said nodding her head to the little vacant seat next to her. Noel sat across from me as well. Then everyone was silent. Then Angelica came in with the fresh tea. Angelica then poured the fresh hot tea. Then Miss. York turned a little towards me. "So Shelby. How are you and Mr. Bagans?"
