Into The Moonlight

4

Both of them came rushing out. Darcy screamed when she saw that her  father was standing in front of a hound. He was trying to ward it of with a stick.

The horseman was running towards the forest. The hound scratched their father's leg. Few moments later the horseman came with a branch lighted with fire and with this he drew the hound away.

The maid was crying with fear looking at all this.

As soon as the hound ran away because of the firebranch. All of them were breathless. Fast they fixed up the tire and started on their journey again.

After sometime only the sound of the horse hooves and raindrops could be heard.

Then the horseman at last said " sir your uncle's manor has come. " And the girls alighted gleefully quick to retreat into the warm warm manor away from outside cold. As it was a eventful trip and they just wanted to sleep.

So they all went inside. Their uncle was woken up by the butler. He said " i was s worried that you people took this journey  in such  a weather. "

Their father Mr Waterman said " it was more then the weather but its a long story of adventure. Tomorrow will let you all about it . "

Darcy and Percy went to their respective rooms and their maid was also shown the service quarters.

The butler said " would you all like dinner and hot soup after this long journey. " " Sure we are famished "Darcy said.

After getting refreshed and putting their luggage in their bedroom. They came down to the dining hall. Their uncle Mr Wrench was sitting on the table. " I have had my dinner as its too late at night now but i wouldn't mind some soup with you to accompany  u all " he said.

The butler served cheese soup and roasted sandwiches. " So you girls have planned what you are going to do during your stay here " their uncle asked. " First of all we would like to do some horseback riding tomorrow as its a very

picturusque  land and we would like to see the dukes castle too " Percy said.

Suddenly a handsome man entered the chambers from upstairs. He looked like he just had gotten from sleep.
