This is my first fan fiction ever, so please don't be too mean. This is my idea on how some of the characters from The 13 Treasures Trilogy, by Michelle Harrison, might have started a relationship together. The 13 Treasures books are my favourite series ever and there are zero fan fictions or art, so I thought I'd start it off.

Rowan was leaning on the wooden fence that stood around the chicken coop outside Elvesdon manor. She watched as the chickens clucked and ate the seeds she threw for them. She wasn't really watching though, she was thinking about the very strange few years she'd had. Suki going insane and trying to kill everyone, and succeeding in some awful cases, Eldritch trying to kill her and Sparrow, her Sparrow. Stop it, Red. She mentally slapped herself. You don't like Sparrow anymore than a friend.

Just as Rowan thought this two strong hands wrapped themselves around her thin waist, making her jump.

"Boo!"She turned around, only to see two deep blue eyes and a chipped tooth smile.

"Sparrow," she said relieved, "you scared me!" Rowan playfully hitting him over the head.

"Ow! That really hurt, Red!" Sparrow said laughing. He broke off when he realised that his hands were still around her waist, he quickly removed them and stuffed them in his jean pockets.

"So..."he said a little awkwardly now.

"So?"Rowan questioned.

"Do you want to go for a walk?"He asked.

"Why?" she said with a questioning look.

"Because I'm bored, and Fabian and Tanya are busy "researching" fairies in his room." He air quoted the word "researching" because everyone knew they were most probably arguing about who knew most about faeries or something else not really important. There was so much sexual tension between those two it was almost laughable. Tanya and Fabian had been arguing like this ever since Tanya's 16th birthday. Which was more than a year ago. It was cute at first, but now it's just annoying how much time they spent bickering.

"So why don't you watch those Harry Potter movies again, you've watched them about a thousand times each! What's the harm of watching them one more time?" Rowan said.

"Because..."He began to say.

"Because?" Rowan asked.

"Because I want to go for a walk." Sparrow snapped back.

"Okay, okay," Rowan giggled, while putting her hands up defensively, "I'll go on a walk with you."

"Thanks." He muttered smiling, "I really feel like I need to talk to somebody."

"What's the matter?" Rowan asked, a little worried now.

"Well, there's this girl..." He began, but then snapped in the distance. Rain started to fall heavily. Sparrow grabbed Rowan's hand and started to run towards the manor, dragging Rowan behind him. Rowan was glad the rain was so heavy that it hid the bright blush creeping on her cheeks.

So there's the 1st chapter. I know it's short but it's my first fan fiction. I'm planning to write a few more chapters. The next is going to be about Tanya and Fabian. Hope you enjoyed it. Byexx
