Like I read books between the other, I make up stories in the same time. I don't mind, and I hope you guys don't mind either. It's now a different story. It's from Fallen - Lauren Kate. Enjoy!
So what was I'm doing again? Cam was still some hot piece, but a jerk. Daniel, my beloved angel, didn't care that much about me. Miles was still a good friend. Why is love so difficult? I mean, I'm just a girl, why should those 3 boys love me, even though I'm just me?
Daniel sort of explained. He was my angel, doomed to fall in love with me. Okay, I got that point.
Cam was a hot, cute, angel, but not my type, though charming.
Miles. Yeah, I didn't get his opinion. I mean, he knew I love Daniel, still, he kissed me. I don't understand it, at all.
Every time I thought of my lovers, I preferred Daniel. I knew Shelby would say, I should go for Miles. He was the easiest. But I knew Callie would like Cam, since he was really trying hard on me. And Penn would say, something like: 'Why would you choose between them, after all the research we did?'. Then she would frown, and laugh. But she couldn't anymore. This angelic stuff caused her death. I looked around, afraid to see miss Sophia, her murderer. She was still hunting me.
I was already some shadows through. Now, at this very moment, I was maybe a million shadows back. To be precise, I was at the court of Henry VIII, the English tudor king.
I was dressed in a black dress, with ruches and a corset, laced up with laces. I wore black satin pumps, and black scarves, like I wore the last two days. It was standard for me to appear in black.
It was great in the palace (except for the hygienic stuff), but still cool. I became high educated in science, music and I got some great dance feasts, in their style. The king himself already danced a lot with me, and I managed not to stand on his toes. I got jealous glances of other ladies, and of Queen Catherine of Aragon.
Every morning we attended the Queen. We played music, read for her, played music for her and we embroider a lot. Every afternoon was an event. It was a tournament, with the king turned out as winner, or a hunting trip, with a few ladies included (I could go very often. I didn't understand why.), or a gamble game, or something else. Every evening was a party. We danced a lot and drank sweet wine, we didn't dare to drink in my time – I mean, the 21st century. I think this century was my time either, but no more difficulties – and we always went late to bed. And way too soon, we would have to wake up to start all over again. But you didn't feel the tiredness: you were kept busy and kept awake by the wine.
But it wasn't for fun I was on a horseback every afternoon, and dancing every night even more often. I was here for a mission. I was here to save my life, and stop the cycles of my dying, every time I touched or kissed Daniel.
I was already some further. I knew what I would say, when I met him. And knowing my age, it was soon. I had to wait for the right moment.
Some weeks passed. I knew Daniel had to come soon. But every time I expected him to, he just didn't.
I was dancing a night with the king, laughing and being flattered by his clumsy flirting. I was surprised when I suddenly got a queasy feeling, the feeling I got when Daniel was around. But no one had entered the room. I decided to leave the feeling, and concentrate on the king. It was the safest thing to do in this life time.
The song ended and King Henry bowed towards me.
'Magnificent, Lucinda!' he said.
I smiled to him.
The musicians started a new song. Henry offered me his hand again. I took it and we turned a circle, to get back with the others.
The feeling continued to bug me. It even became worse, but not much of my attention went to it. I danced with the king, and enjoyed the jealous glances of the whole room.
When I got to my room – I was the only one to have a room on my own – I undressed and got to bed. The feeling was bugging me even worse, so I couldn't sleep. But what did it matter? He was on his way. We would get a chance to be together, I was sure.
But for now, I would lay alone, trying to get some sleep.
