Your Pov:

        "We should probably head back to the ball before it gets too late" (M/N) said a couple minutes later. "(M/N) makes a good point, (Y/N)" the Earl agrees. I nod and stand up, brushing off my dress as we start to head back to the party. "(Y/N), can I ask you a question" the Earl continues as we walk back to the ball. I nod again, still staying shy and silent. "Why did you run when we were about to dance," he asks, looking a little confused. I start to blush again, feeling really embarrassed.

        "I-I-I-I-I, um, I'm a klutz, and I can't dance so; naturally, I thought I would embarrass myself so, I ran away before I could embarrass myself. I guess I was trying to stop the inevitable" I replied. The response sounded a lot better in my head though, as I mentally face palmed, at my stupidity. He just nods and continues to walk. 'Why do I have to be such an idiot' I ask myself.

          When we reach the ball, I find my dad waiting for us at the entrance of the manor. I immediately tense at the sight of him. I can also see the rage in the Earl's eyes, and I can tell he is really pissed off at him. In a way, I don't blame him but, that's not what scares me the most. What scares me the most is my dad's angry gaze that's pointed straight at me. The only thing on my mind now is ' I'm so dead. '

       My dad starts walking toward us. As he does, my heartbeat gets quicker and quicker. I start to flinch as he stands in front of me. I take a deep breath as I know already know what's going to happen or so I thought. "I'm so glad you're not hurt (Y/N). I spouse you're really tried though so, we should probably head home." He said, looking concerned, though I could see the anger in his eyes.

       He was pissed. I nod slowly and then turned toward the Earl. "Thank you for inviting us to this lovely manor. I had a great time, and I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused" I say, bowing. The Earl pulls me up from my bowing stance and says softly, "You were no trouble at all my lady, and I hope to see you again sometime." I nod again and head off toward our carriage with (M/N) and my dad. He seemed calm on the ride home but, I knew it was only a matter of time before the hell was unleashed.

        I knew it was only a matter of time before I would be on the run again but, so many questions still remained. Would this be the end of my journey? Would I die before I even had a chance? Is the Earl really on my side? Why is my dad doing this? What does he have to gain? I guess I would just have to wait and see.
