"Masquerade" is a short story I wrote for a contest. It's a fantasy story about a girl who is drawn into a faerie party and must find a way to escape when the faerie man she meets tries to enchant her into staying. It's pretty short for short story standards, but I hope you enjoy!

A modern-day man's ordinary life shatters when a fierce, enigmatic woman bursts into his world, claiming to hail from the medieval era. Her mission? To drag him back through time to the legendary kingdom of Camelot. The only problem-he doesn't believe in magic, knights, or anything she's saying. But the past won't take "no" for an answer. Camelot is on the brink of ruin. The king is dead, the realm is in chaos, and the rightful heir-spirited away to the future by ancient magic-has been lost to time. Desperate to save the kingdom, Merlin's inexperienced granddaughter is assigned the task of retrieving the true king. She journeys to the modern world, armed with little more than a handful of spells and a fierce determination. But the future is far stranger than she imagined, and the lost Arthur-now an ordinary man-has no memory of his royal destiny. To make matters worse, she's misplaced the one magical artifact capable of returning them to Camelot. Time is running out, and the fate of the legendary kingdom hangs by a thread.
