"Hi, my name's Finnian!"
"Um…hi Finnian, my name's Destiny," She said at the boy, her voice edged with slight annoyance. What was this boy's aim? Why be so friendly to a foreigner? Destiny had a lot of questions that she knew she shouldn't ask.
"Do you know where the kitchen is?" She asked him, smiling. Finnian blushed. (She has a nice smile) he said to himself before giving his brain a mental slap. (What the heck?! You've only just met her!) He said to himself while stating at Destiny. Destiny, completely oblivious to what was going on in his head, noticed a piece if string attached to is neck. Moving in closer, she brought her hand towards his neck and brushed against the rough string. Finnian blushed at this new form of assault.
"W-what do you t-think you're doing?" He stuttered, taking Destiny's hands away from his neck.
"I'm sorry! I was jet wondering what that thing is around your neck, wait, it it a hat?" She pondered, walking behind him and laughing as she saw that it was, in fact, a straw hat.
"Yes, I just have it, does it bother you?" He questioned, just about to untie the hat fro his neck when Destiny placed her soft hands on his, making him blush.
"Nope, I think it looks wonderful," she replied, smiling again. Finnian couldn't help but smile as well. (Is she an angel? Because most girls do not have that kind of angelic smile) he said to himself, holding onto her hand. Destiny smiled as she let him hold onto her hand as he directed her to the kitchen.
(He's strong, almost surpassing my own) she said to herself, almost toppling over as he began to run faster, in towards a large kitchen. Almost instantly, a girl with large, circular glasses came in, smiling a geeky grin. She held out her hand towards Destiny in a sign of friendship and Destiny took it gracefully.
"Hello, my name is Mai-rin," she said and almost on cue, another man, much older, came in, a cigarette upon his lips.
"And my name's Baldroy; pleased to meet ya beautiful," he said, holding out a hand which Destiny also took gracefully. Destiny knew that she was going to stay here for a while so she might as well have gotten along with everyone. The clock began to chime and then it was lunch.
"Looks like we have to prepare lunch," Destiny said, getting up from the chair she was sitting on. But the others seemed to be glued to their chairs, as if not hearing a word she was saying. Destiny frowned at her fellow servants.
"Aren't you going to help?" She questioned.
"Um…Sebastian doesn't let us help when it comes to kitchen duty," Finnian answered.
"Or anything else," Baldroy added, crossing his arms over his chest. Destiny's frown widened. So this Sebastian won't let them help? He'd rather do it himself huh? She pondered for a moment before saying something that brought a shiver to their spines.
"Wouldn't you like to change that?" She questioned, raising a single eye brow.
"Yes but-"
"Yes but what? If you never try, you will not succeed. Now Baldroy, help me with the sack of potatoes!" Destiny ordered, carrying a small bag. Baldroy smirked. (That lass can't carry a piece of paper! I'll show her my strength!) Baldroy said to himself as he lifted up a heavy sack. Even though it was just one, he struggled but grinned at Destiny when she clapped for him.
"Let me try!" She begged, picking up 4 heavy sacks with one arm. The cigarette from Baldroy's mouth dropped. (What strength she has! Maybe even surpassing Finny's!) He said to himself as he watched the Ethiopian girl walk into the kitchen and lay down the spuds. Baldroy did the same as he watched her cut it open and take a hand full before dropping them in the sink.
"Mei-rin, please wash these and peel them," she said and Mei-rin did what was asked of her, washing each potatoes thoroughly. Then, she turned to Finny who blushed as she grinned to him.
"And could you help me get the tomatoes?" She half questioned half asked. Finny allowed himself to be ordered by her until they got to the vegetable garden. Destiny noticed Finnan's blushing face and held a gentle hand towards his forehead, caressing it with her palm.
"You're face is quite hot Finnian, are you ill?" She asked, looking a bit worried for the boy. Finnian couldn't answer, seeing as his face burned another deep shade of crimson. Why was that every touch she made, made him feel this way? Finny didn't know the answer but he guessed he would find out soon enough. Finnian gently took Destiny's hand away from his head and smiled at her, making her feel hot in the face.
(Ok, we all know black people cannot blush but for Destiny's sake, we need to show her emotions! So in this story, black people can blush…)
"I-It's nothing really," he said, picking up a basket and pulling some tomatoes off their vines. Just as he was about to put another tomato in the basket, it squished into a red plump, spilling all over his gloves. Finny's eyes flashed 'mistake' as he squeezed his red hands together. He closed his eyes in anger as he realised his compressed hands to look at red coloured juice. Destiny was watching this and gasped as he said:
"Screw you,"
Destiny dropped her basket and ran to his side patting his shoulder. Why was he stressing over a squished tomato? It wasn't out of the ordinary. She tried to comfort him bit only got a shove. What was up with him? Why the sudden change of character?
"I-It's only a tomato, they do tend to get squashed," she told him, still not giving up.
"That may be right but why is it always me? I am always the one to break something! I can never touch anything without breaking or smashing it, its not human!" He shouted, pulling at his blonde hair. Destiny also had that trouble. She could never touch anything without breaking it but she soon learned how to control her strength. Destiny sighed as she hugged the boy.
"Its alright Finny, can I call you that?" She asked. He nodded with a faint blush on his face.
"Well, I don't see what wrong with your strength," she continued, holding him by the shoulders at arms length. Finnian didn't know what to say at first, all he could do was look at her.
"B-but, I can't even touch anyone with hurting them,"
"But you touched me several times before and you haven't hurt me!" She reassured him but he couldn't let it slide.
"I'm dangerous, please Miss," he said, getting up and walking away from the vegetable garden.
"Stay away from me,"
