Chapter Sixteen

It was finally the night of the party. The Countess had on the dress she most recently bought. It was so exquisitely revealing, she made Coletta and the other slave promise not to tell “Master” about it. She planned to wear her purple, velvet cloak up to the parlor, so he would not see it until they were at the party. By then, it would be too late to do anything about it. Kendra had on a rhinestone-covered, emerald green, spaghetti–strap dress with a high waist and a flowy bottom that came just below the knee. She begged the Countess to carry a couple of daggers with her, but the Countess protested that there was no place to hide them in her dress. Kendra finally conceded defeat and gave up, adding a few extra in her own dress. As they went upstairs, the Count was waiting for them, and presented Kendra with a box similar to the one he had given the Countess not that long ago. In it was her own green, velvet cloak. She thanked him profusely, and they were ready to get on their way. The Countess hugged the Count and secretly slipped two daggers into his inside lapel pocket, unbeknownst to him, then smoothed out his tuxedo after “rumpling him” as she put it.

They loaded into the carriage, so the staff would not be suspicious, and started to travel south. They sneaked out of the carriage along the way, near an open, dark field.

“Okay, Countess. Show us what you’ve got,” the Count said, hoping he was not wrong about her or her flying abilities. Otherwise, all the plans were off. The Countess was nervous as they stared at her. She closed her eyes and remembered Lizzy’s instructions—her crossed arms, the serious look on her little face, and the toe-tapping. She couldn’t forget her little toe-tapping. The Countess gently and easily rose into the air. When she opened her eyes, Kendra and the Count were floating next to her.

“Excellent!” the Count said. “Okay. Here’s the plan. I’ll lead. Kendra, you keep a close eye on the Countess, and I’ll watch out for intruders. Everyone got it?” he asked. Everyone nodded, and they started to fly north in the night sky. The Countess remembered this feeling from flying with the Count. That first time was forever etched into her mind. The feeling of the wind in her face. The way the wind blew her clothes against her. The cloak was warm, so she never felt the cold. Just the wonderful air. She was lost in her thoughts, a giant grin on her face. She didn’t even notice Kendra sidle up next to her.

“You okay?” she shouted over the wind. The Countess lost her concentration and started to spiral out of control and lost elevation quickly. Kendra just stared at her in a panic, unsure what to do. The Countess had never been taught how to regain herself when she lost control during flight. Just as the Countess started to scream from the panic, she was grabbed in mid-air by the Count.
