Disclaimer: I do not own any of these character. Libba Bray does. The plot, however, is mine. :)
Enjoy!
Rain had been falling for 2 days straight. Winter was approaching swiftly, I knew as I watched through the window. Turning away, I saw Felicity open the door and slam it behind her, panting. Ann looked up from her bed, where she had been reading a novel of some kind.
"What is it?" I asked Felicity as she looked around the room for something. After a moment, she raised her eyes to me. This in itself scared me. Her eyes were wide, popping from her head, her expression bewildered. But when she pounced at me, I just about jumped out the window. Felicity took my hands in hers and looked into my eyes.
"Gemma, you must help me. My mother's here and she's brought a suitor!" I raised one eyebrow at her, not understanding.
"Who is it?" I asked after a moment.
"It's Mr. Bumble!" I could do nothing but blink. Mr. Bumble, the man who had courted Pippa not to long ago. I fell into the nearest chair, my mind working furiously. Finally, I looked up at Felicity. "How can I help?" Felicity's expression softened a little. She dropped to her knees in front of me, saying, "Can I hide here for a while? I just can't face him right now." My mind was still trying to wrap around the idea of Felicity and Mr. Bumble. I mean, Pippa was one thing, but Felicity? It was like caging a bird for the rest of eternity.
"Of course," I said, pulling myself out of my thoughts. "Of course you can hide here." Felicity smiled and kissed me on both cheeks.
"Thank-you, thank-you!" She turned to Ann and kissed her cheeks too. "I love you both! Tomorrow won't be so bad with you two around!" I looked up at Felicity.
"Tomorrow?"
"Well, yes. Tomorrow's Assembly Day, Gem. Weren't you paying attention to Mrs. Nightwing?" Gemma dug around in to pool of her thoughts. Nothing.
"Uh…No, I guess not." Felicity sighed, shaking her head.
That's all. I'll try to update soon. If anybody has any ideas for my Inkheart fanfic., I'm open. I'm having serious WB. REVIEW PLEASE!
