Love By Moonlight
This is my first Fanfic and it's just a story I made up out of the blue. So… here goes.
Disclaimer: I do not own Deltora Quest, but I wish I did.
The Beginning
(Jasmine)
It was the first night after peace was restored in Deltora and Leif and Barda are so happy to be back in civilization, for me it just feels weird. They keep telling me I'll get used to it and I know I will, I just can't shake the weirdness of it off though. I can't sleep because of it so I walk outside into the moonlit night and just stop to stare at the beautiful moon surrounded by millions of beautiful stars twinkling in the night and I can't help but remember the night before Leif and Barda showed up. I felt as if my life would consist of me living on my own, running away from the Wenbar and living a very short life. Turns out I was way off. I walk over to a near by tree and sit on the perfectly mowed lawn and leant on the perfectly healthy tree. I could hear the tree was happy and it was happily humming a lullaby to itself while sleeping. Deltora was so much more peaceful than I'd expected it to be. I loved a lot of things in Deltora, like how the flowers always smelled beautiful and how the fruit on the fruit trees were always fresh. These things weren't always in the wild were I grew up. In fact these things were quite rare in the wild. I thought of my friends who I wouldn't have been able to come this far without. I had my doubts traveling with Leif and Barda. I thought traveling with a scrawny boy and a stubborn man would be a bad idea. I was wrong. Very, very wrong, but I'm not going to admit it to anyone. I heard light footsteps coming towards me.Who could that be? I hope it's not Doom! He's been trying to act kind of 'fatherly' and it's starting to bother me but I don't want to tell him. I thought franticly. "Couldn't sleep either?" I heard a familiar male voice ask. "Oh, hey Leif. No, I couldn't sleep either because, don't take this wrong, I'm just not used to this place. It feels weird," I said glancing at him hoping I hadn't offended him. "Yeah, after all those days on our quest I got so used to being in the wild where sweet smelling flowers and fresh fruit were quite rare" Leif said mirroring my thoughts exactly. I looked at him and thought, wow he looks so much older than he looked when we first started the quest and stronger and handsome. What! Did I really just think that? I looked at him again. In the moonlight he did look handsome. I've never fallen in love before. Is this how it feels? This fluttery feeling in my stomach whenever I look at him keeps coming. It feels so strange. But does he love me too? Probably not. My hair is messy and I look wild when his hair is neat and he looks handsome and perfect. No, he would never love me. After all we're completely different. I felt sad knowing this fact was true. What is wrong with me? All these emotions are driving me crazy! Why didn't I feel this way before? Ugh! Geeze! "Jasmine?" Leif said and I realized I had my head in myhands. "Oh yeah, I was just thinking back to our quest. It was quite an adventure" I lied. Only about the part where I said I was thinking back to our quest. The adventure part was true though. Leif shifted himself so his hand was close to mine but I don't think he realized it. I kept looking at his hand so close to mine then I glanced at his face to find him staring at me, at my eyes in particular. His expression was hard to read. I blushed and looked away for no reason. Stupid emotions I cursed in my head. When I looked back up at his face I could see it was red too. But why? I thought frowning. I looked down at his hand and saw it was closer than it was before. Then his hand moved an inch closer and when our hands touched it made me spasm and I could see Leif spasm too. "Um… I'm feeling really tired now. Good-night" I said getting up and walking away as fast as my legs could take me. I could feel my face burning and I didn't look back as I opened the door of where I would be sleeping. Every step I took I cursed my stupid emotions.
