Into The Moonlight

Later they wore their horse riding dress.  And went to ride.  Tom was very excited about it.  His horse was a black one whileDarcys was a white one.  Percy cancelled her horseback riding saying the weather looked stormy. 

After ten minutes of riding they reached the forest side.  Here the rain started to come down in drizzles. And the surrounding was full of wild magnolia flowers. The scent of which filled the air.  The sky very fast was turning into dark grey n thunder was followed by lightening.

" I told you it was not a good day for riding.  Now what are we going to do.  How will we retutn back " Darcy said. " Its okay the earls manor is nearby,  we will go there " Tom said and they rode and reached the manor.

A man opened the door.  He recognised Tom and said " what are you two riding in this weather. Yes the earl is, at home come in " he said.

As they entered the mansion Darcy saw a man sitting by the fire reading a big book. He was goodlooking. He lookedup at them and smiled.  " Very surprising to see you Tom after a long time and whose this pretty lady with you " he said.

After the introductions as they all were sitting by the having wine brought in by the butler.  Darcy said " Now all of them will be worried about us.  " " I dont think so Mr Wrench knows my friend earls house nearby so we will come here. So dont you worry " Tom said.

" Its near evening now you both better stay in for thenight.  You can go in this, weather now " the earl said. " You are right " Tom also agreed with him.

" Which book are you reading " Darcy asked the earl.  He said " its the chronicles of the lost city of Atlantis. Would you like to read it too. Its interesting. And by the way my name is Jason. So call me that " he said while handing the heavy book to Darcy as Tom was finishing his wine and asked the butler for more.

The butler came after a few moments and said " dinner is ready. "And as they all sat down to dinner Darcy saw outside the window. It was raining heavily now. " Nice your house was nearby or what would we have had done.  "

" Not to mention the wild animals rampant here too and bandits in rare cases.  It was very wicked of Tom to bring you out for horseback riding in such a, weather.

" The weather is unpredictable here. Sometimes it looks cloudy but then it turns into a very sunny day "  Tom said.

" How was the chicken "  Tom asked. " It was different " Darcy told.

After dinner they were shown their rooms. " Hope you sleep well" Jason said.  Darcy saw that he had a, peculiar color of light brown and blue eyes.

In the room a maid gave Darcy some fresh clothes to change Into and she slept.
