Before Michael stood up after her he leaned in to me to whisper “I’m never going to forgive you for this Summers” and I just smiled back “I wouldn’t have it any other way Williams”. Then he started dancing with Emma, she was tiny compared with Michael's height I laughed at them dancing around and around. “so you’re getting my sister to dance with strangers?” it was John appearing out of nowhere “oh that’s Michael Williams, Emma was sitting here alone and I asked him to ask her to make her happy and I’m sorry about earlier I wasn’t feeling the best, will you forgive me”. He smiled “of course I will. And thank you for entertaining my sister and thank that Michael fellow to, for going through the pain of my sister standing on his feet”. The song ended and the pair walked over to us “Johnny this ball is so much fun” she said grinning wildly. Then john smiled and said “unfortunately it’s your bed time, so come on” Emma frowned but she took her brothers hand and walked upstairs. “there goes my reputation” said Michael sitting down beside me. “I thought you wanted to change your reputation, or was that too much”. The rest of the party consisted of Michael and I talking. Some of the time with john. The carriage ride back was silent. When I finally got to bed, even though I was extremely tired I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking about everything that had happened, with Gabriel, Michael and John. Gabriel has been my friend nearly all my life, and suddenly it didn’t seem likely that we were friends anymore and I don’t even know what I did. I got up and looked out my window the moon was shining and the stars were glowing around it. “I thought since we never found out your name, I should give you one” I’m talking to stars I thought to myself, well according to my nanny I’m talking to our ancestors “I think that you should be called… Catherine and  I’m sorry if that wasn’t your name and that you had to die so young and that my father wouldn’t let me bury you properly. But I hope that you are at peace. I suddenly felt tired and my eyes started to close themselves. I walked to my bed and snuggled down under the covers and fell fast asleep. I had a dream.

I was walking in the woods and then suddenly a dark figure appeared out of the shadows, however when the figure stepped into the light shining through the tree tops the light didn’t reveal what the figure looked like. Just stayed dark like a soul lost, forever forsaken to walk in the darkness. Never to been seen again. The figure started to walk towards me, and I felt the urge to scream but when I opened my mouth no sound came out and fear shot through me like lightning striking water. I started running as fast as I could. My heart was racing inside my chest. I looked back and the shadow was still following me but the shadow was only walking so it was a great bit behind. I tripped on a root and twisted my ankle, I held on to it and looked up the shadow was standing over me. It lifted one foot and stood on my ankle and once again I couldn’t make a noise. Then they pulled a gun out of thin air and pointed it at me. “bye bye”. Then I screamed.
