"come onnnn enola, it's gonna be fun!" tewkesbury smiled as he pulled enola into the ballroom.
"tewkesbury—"
"uh uh, enola you are going to have fun tonight, and that's final." tewkesbury tried to put on his best stern face as he pointed his finger at enola.
enola tilted her head. "you're gonna force me to have fun?" enola almost laughed.
tewkesbury nodded. "and i'm not leaving your side, last time, you ran off and nearly gave me a heart attack..." tewkesbury shuddered.
enola giggled as she poured herself a drink. "that was funny, wasn't it?" she smiled sweetly.
"no it wasn't! i'm telling you enola, you're staying by my side the whole night!" tewkesbury smiled.
♥︎
he lost enola
again
but this time she was not drunk.
she simply wondered off.
enola now realizing she should probably find tewkesbury, she started to look for him.
"where is he where is he...?" she mumbled spinning around the ball, trying to find him.
she suddenly bumped into someone as the man let out a huff.
"ooh sorry!" she quickly apologized.
"my my we meet again?"
she turned around to see benjamin benette.
enola was not pleased to see him there to be honest.
he just gave her weird vibes.
"yes it's me ha ha enola bye now." she quickly started to walk away before he spoke again.
"you know... i knew your father..." he said with a little chuckle.
she stopped immediately.
"we weren't close." he honestly spoke.
"he was my competitor,always tried to one up me that alexander..." he laughed.
enola didn't know how to respond to that honestly, she really didn't care to know more about her father.
enola smiled. "well, thank you for this conversation, i must go look for tewkesbury now." enola quickly tried to exit the conversation.
"isn't that him right there?" benjamin pointed somwhere behind her.
enola furrowed her eyebrows and turned around "what where?"
"right there" he pointed.
"oh wrong man, my apologies." he quickly said and she turned back around to look at him weirdly.
"good day miss holmes." he waved and walked away.
enola was still.
god that man is simply-
"enola?"
enola turned around.
"sherlock?! what on earth are you doing at a ball?"
"a case." sherlock answered.
"and i imagine you're here with your boy?" sherlock raised an eyebrow.
"he's not my boy!" enola exclaimed as sherlock let out a small smile.
"so... last time i saw you you..." sherlock trailed off.
enola looked down. "i'm sorry, i shouldn't have just left like that."
"no, no, you were shocked, upset, you needed your moment." sherlock assured her.
enola smiled and lifted her glass to take a sip of it.
sherlock watched her glass.
his eyes widened and he smacked the glass out of her hands.
a loud shatter noise echoed in the ballroom.
enola gasped as her eyes widened as gasps were heard in the room.
"sherlock! what was that for—"
"poison."
"what?" enola furrowed her eyebrows.
"poison, the drink was poisoned." sherlock said with his heart beating out of his chest.
"what? sherlock, no, it was not poisoned!" enola let out a laugh.
"foggy appearance, almost green." sherlock said slowly.
enola then realized that what sherlock was saying could be true.
tewkesbury suddenly rushed up to her.
"enola! i've been looking all over for you— what happened here?!" he looked towards sherlock.
"enola's drink was poisoned." sherlock whisper shouted at tewkesbury.
tewkesbury's eyes widened as a horrified look took over his face.
"poisoned? what— what do you mean poison?! who... what?!"
"enola did you pour this drink?" sherlock asked.
"yes!" enola exclaimed.
"did you talk to anyone? someone could have poured it in."
enola shrugged innocently. "only benjamin?"
"benjamin? who's benjamin?" sherlock asked.
"benjamin bennett." enola said and sherlock went pale.
"sherlock? what's wrong?" enola asked.
enola did not expect to hear what came out of her brothers mouth.
