I don't own these characters. Wish I did.
"Lord Raymond? Are you there?" asked Lucius, stepping into the clearing.
"Uhm. Yes. I'm right here." Replied Raven, stepping out from behind a tree.
"What is it you wanted to talk about Lord Raymond?" asked Lucius.
"Please…call me Raymond" replied Raven, blushing furiously.
"A-alright…Raymond…What is it you wanted to talk about?"
"Well, we've known each other for a long time Lucius, you, me, and Pricilla, we all grew up together." Said Raven.
"A-and the truth is…" he trailed off, looking at his feet.
"What is it Lor- I mean, Raymond?" asked Lucius gently.
"The truth is…I…have feelings for you." Blurted out Raven, now beet red.
"Oh…Oh!" Exclaimed Lucius, "I…I don't know what to say…"
"You don't have to say anything!" replied Raven quickly, "I…I've felt this way for a long time, and I just had to get it off my chest, that's all. I understand if you don't return my feelings…You're an amazing woman, and I have nothing left except my revenge."
"What? Oh Lord Raymond! There's been a misunderstanding!"
"No, it's ok Lucius! I get it! I guess I'll see you around camp then, huh?"
Raven quickly retreated back into the woods.
"Stupid, stupid, you're so stupid!" he said to himself, "You knew she didn't feel that way about you, but you just had to go and ruin your relationship with her with your stupid, stupid confession!"
"But…Lord Raymond…I'm a guy…" Said Lucius to the air, dazed.
I don't blame Raven. Thought he was a girl too. For now, this story is done...Although I might add later chapters with other characters mistaking poor Lucius's gender.
