Hello,
Lady Cheeses here.
So i'm not really paying attention to what I am writing, this story is more of an impulse writing meander. I love Joss Stirling's books, and I am absolutely gutted that Summer Falls kinda' marks it as a last in the Savant series. Please enjoy the story of Ari (Ariadne), I hope you guys enjoy this. Please, if certain sentences, phrases are confusing or misspelt please leave a comment. This is a way to try and improve any writing skills I might have.
This chapter is short, but there should be more to come.
Enjoy you nerds.
Chapter One: Eurydice and Ophelia
This is how I die, choking on the whipped cream from my hot chocolate. Eurydice, my older sister laughed as she smacked her palm against my back till I stopped coughing, 'Jesus Christ girl, I know it's a shock but don't die on me now.' More cream spilled over the edge as I slammed the mug down.
'You're getting married?!' My voice croaked a little, 'Last time we met, You didn't even have an interest in anyone let have a relationship!' She just continued to laugh. Her pearly white teeth showing from her smile, a single curly strand of hair fell in front of her deep green eyes. She tucked it away, 'I've found my soul finder Ari.' My eyes widened in realisation.
'WHAT?!' I jumped out of my seat and dove onto her, grabbing her in my arms, 'When?! How? Tell me everything.'
'Get off me first, 'She said shoving me away, 'It's great to see you are excited but, stick to your own bubble.' I sat back down and sipped onto my hot chocolate.
'We met when I visited London, Obviously,' She started as she traced the outline of the patterned table, 'She kind of noticed when I set my boundary. I forget how obvious it is to other savants. But it was just so crowded, and I needed to get to my show and of course Abigail was taking forever as usua-.' She took a breath after realising she was rambling, 'Anyways, she noticed my boundary manipulation, and she managed to walk through it. We talked, spent the rest of my time there together and now we are getting married. Of course, there's more to that story, but I'll go into more detail when you are home and not on work break.'
'Wow,' I dragged out the word, 'That's kinda' romantic in a sense. The whole, London romance. When do I meet her?'
'Hopefully next week, she is visiting for a few weeks before I move to London.'
Perfect timing for Grandad's birthday, I thought, then spoke, 'She'll be here to meet the entire family. Does she have a name?'
'Ophelia, quite a dated name isn't it?' I swear Eurydice's pupils were forming black hearts.
'It's pretty and unique. Seems coincidental it begins with an 'O,' it's like Orpheus.' I winked, and she cringed.
'Poor us, with a Mum who wanted nothing more than to curse us with these ridiculous names,' She rolled her green eyes as I looked at the clock on the wall.
'I'm going to have to go, duty calls in the land of retail.' We both rose from the table and headed for the coffee shop exit, 'I can't wait to meet her, I'm sure Percy will have a joke to say about her name.'
'Yep, I'm pretty sure too.'
