A romance set on the highways of old England

On a cool crisp night in the Epping Forest, a stagecoach was moving amongst the shadows of a full silver moon.

"the moonlight gives the forest a magical glow", said Mary Gregory a passenger in the coach. The other passenger was her brother, Magistrate Sir Thomas Gregory, but he thought it felt less magical but more eerie and dangerous. He was seeing highwaymen and footpads in every shadow. The driver was also very nervous as highwaymen were known to work within these woods.

Suddenly a handsome well dressed man carrying a brace of gleaming duelling pistols appeared, He was riding a white horse and had come out of the shadows into the moonlight.

The nervous driver sped up the coach.

The horseman was following the coach but at a faster pace, shouting "Stop now or I'll shoot!"

"Stand and deliver, your money or your life!" shouted the highwayman Firing his pistol he winged the driver who knowing the next shot might kill him slowed the coach to a stop.

"What are you doing?" said Stella. "I'm coming to the masked ball in style," said the Ghost. "In style, what are you going to do rob it?" said Stella. "Rob it?" said the Ghost, offended. "Why are you dressed as the Ghost?" asked Stella. "I was hoping to see Rogue Star," said the Ghost. Rogue Star was Stella's secret name as a local superhero. No one knew who she was. "Why?" asked Stella, frowning. "Do I need a reason?" said the Ghost. "Nice outfit, Aureus," said a voice behind them. "Hi, am I that obvious?" said the Ghost. "Actually, yes," said Stella. "Well, I had to try, I wanted to meet Rogue Star," said Aureus. "Face it, she's out of your league," said the person behind them, Jasper her father. "I am not the Masked Chicken now," said Aureus. Who had been a fool for most of his life. He had been known as a fool, he had been known as the Masked Chicken. He had indeed changed the man who woke up to be Aureus, the Ghost. His sleeping soul awakening turned the hopeless, helpless, fool into a normal person, but his reputation stuck. "We know it," said Stella, "but you are no Ghost he is charming and amazing you are just... you."

Aureus looked sad that even the girl who loved the Ghost wasn't mildly impressed by the outfit.
