Sofia is the older sister of lord Tewksbury who she loves more than anything. So when he leaves home to escape his killer she does the sane thing and goes after him.
As soon as I got home that evening I started getting ready for the ball. It was a masquerade and so I focused mostly on my attire and not my face. The dress I wore was an emerald green and to go with it I had a beautiful black mask small enough to show my features but large enough to cover my nose and eyes.

Once I was done getting ready I walked over to flowers house to see if he was done and we took a carriage over to the Lyons'.
The house looked beautiful and I couldn't believe how many people were in the same place at the same time.
I instantly spotted William and began making conversation until I realised that surprisingly he didn't recognise me so I took the mask off but still he is the only friend I have in flowers world of lords and lady's.
I know that technically speaking I am a lady as-well but sometimes it doesn't feel that way, it feels like I'm in a different world like they don't want me here. So it feels nice to have a friend like William who like me feels that he doesn't belong here either.
I was busy talking to flower when I notice her from afar, I can't help but go towards her but then I notice her approaching us.
"Enola what are you doing here? I didn't know you knew will"
"Sofia it's good to see you again in fact this is the best timing I actually need to borrow your brother really quickly for something, you don't mind do you?"
"Oh no not at a-"
And she's gone, and she whisked away my brother too so now I must stand alone in the corner and look like a fool, how convenient.
I decide to look around and then dance a bit more in order to fill my card. I danced with two random men when I noticed will dancing with enola. For some reason that caught my interest and I just had to know why so I tried to lip read but all I got was a time and place. So I waited and when the time was right I followed enola into a private room unknowing that my brother had the same idea too.
"What are you two doing in here, and why were you sharing secrets with will?"
"Sofia great of you to join us as-well but you must leave now I will tell you everything later."
"Is this about that case enola because really we could help you only if you let us."
"Yes yes Tewksbury I know but you really must go before he gets here"
"He gets here?"
I noticed my brothers face change a couple of shades and instantly I knew that we had to leave but before I could say anything, will had walked in.
"Lord Tewksbury?"
Will stood there looking as awkward as ever and I couldn't help but feel bad that perhaps we ruined enolas Chance at cracking this case that she was already having so much trouble with.
"We should go flower, come on" I try pulling him with me but he won't budge I think he's put on a few pounds.
"No, what is going on?"
Just as enola was about to answer, a large group of officers walked in demanding to arrest enola.
You can imagine the look on my face when I realise what is going on and I can't help but follow as enola gets escorted out.
"Wait Sofia come back!"
"It's fine brother I'm just going to see if I can help go home and wait for me there."
He looks like he wants to argue back but instead he just sighs defeatedly and let's me go. I have to find out what's going on and who framed enola because there is no way she would've done what she's being charged of.
I manage to get ahold of my carriage and make a beeline for the police station, I watch as they take enola away to her cell and she tells me to explain to my brother whatever I think I know. I know I should go back to him but something is telling me to stay just in case.
