Chapter 2 Weird Names
"No Rufus! Bad kitty!' Maria screeched, as she pried Timcampy out of the tabbies jaws. The cat hissed at her and the golem. Dashing into the row of manicured bushes, it grey and white fur ruffled. "Are you alright Tim?" She asked the shaking golem.
"You named your cat Rufus? Honestly you come up with the weirdest names." She glared at the boy leaning against a near by lantern post.
"Oh be quiet Cross!" Maria shot back as she cleaned Timcampy with the skirt of her light-blue and white dress. "At least I'm not dressed and groomed like a butler."
Cross gaped at the seven year old girl in horror. "I am not a butler! I am a young, charming gentleman of the upper-class."
"Butler~" Maria sang.
"Spoiled brat!"
"Am not!"
"Ah, how adorable." The nobleman commented from his chair on the stone patio. The sleeves of his pristine white shirt where rolled up to his elbows. His short brown hair moved slightly in the late spring breeze. "Sounds like they will be a couple in the future, don't you think little brother?"
Neah felt his left eye twitch. "Please tell me your joking, Mana. I have enof things to worry about. Including keeping the sutures away from Maria."
"Let me guess." Mana took his brown eyes away from the seen of the two children fighting in the garden, to look at his younger twin. "Lord Bayset still trying to get you to arrange a marriage between our sweet Maria and his Colin?"
The annoyed expression on Neah's face conformed Mana's question.
"That man wont give up. My wife and I where never set up in an arranged marriage. So I'm not setting up one for Maria. In fact I'll never marry her off."
Mana laugh. "You sound just like Aliceson's father."
"Yes, but he agreed to let the two of wed, he's just making you wait."
"True. What a shame that we couldn't bring my beloved with on this trip. She would love it out here. But its good that we where able to get away from the city for a couple of weeks."
"I agree. It's a shame that we have to return tomorrow." Neah frowned. "And then it's back to work."
Mana frowned as well. "Hopefully soon we wont have to worry about 'them' any more."
"Tea is ready." A middle aged woman in a maids uniform, pushed a cart out onto the patio.
Mana smiled at the woman. "Ah thank you Emaly."
"Of course."
"Alright you two its time for tea." Neah shouted for the children to hear.
Maria ended the argument when the booted foot connected with Cross's bare sheen. She spun around to run to the patio. But caught sight of Timcampy.
"Rufus! No!"
(39 Years later)
"Miren! Shien! Release!" The woman shouted.
The first 'thing' retracted it's claws and stepped away. The one holding Allen released it's captive, sending the white hared sixteen year old; spiraled ungracefully face down on the ground. By the time He got to his knees the 'things' where gone and the woman was walking toward him.
The woman's hair was down to her waste with her bangs framing her face. It was to dark to tell for sure if the color her hair was red or brown. Nor could he tell the color of her eyes. As she got closer he could see that she was taller than him, by at least half a foot.
She wore black dress pants with light brown boots and a white short sleeve blouse.
"Sorry about that. My father created them and made it to where they cannot be reprogrammed." The woman apologized, scratching the side of her head. She had an English ascent in her voice. So he was able to figure they where somewhere in Europe. "But my mother named them, she had a thing for weird names."
"It's okay. Umm I was sent to find someone named Noct. Do you know this person is?" Allen questioned hopefully.
The unknown woman smiled at him. "I do, but I think we should talk more inside. You look like someone who doesn't want to be found by certain people."
Allen blinked, either she was good at reading people or she had been expecting his arrival. In his mind he could here Neah humming with joy. Which he found odd considering he usually gave a angry hiss, or ignored other people around them.
"Right." Allen replied getting up to his feet. He nearly fell again, but the woman helped by holding his shoulders until he could stand on his own. It made his fell a little helpless. "Thank you."
"Your welcome." The woman replied leading him up to the house. The house that Allen hoped he would meet Noct.
Unlike the outside of the house, the inside was some what updated. A few electrical lights where on giving Allen enough light to see the parlor. Most the floor was wooden and worn in some places. The forest green drapes matched the chairs and couches scattered through out the room. Across the room in front of him was a grand staircase leading up to the second floor.
The woman shut the front door and locked it. "Please follow me." She said walking past him.
Allen felt his blood freeze as soon as he saw the color her hair. A shade of red that the had only seen on one other person. The color he hateted seeing for three years. He quickly shoved the thought of Cross having children out of his mind and followed the still unnamed woman. He could hear Neah laughing at his reaction.
She lead him up to the second floor, doors where on both sides of the hall, with windows at each end. One of the near by doors opened. A little girl stepped out of the dark room, rubbing one of her blue eyes. Her dark blond hair was tangled and her green night dress was wrinkled from sleep. A pare of worn white slippers keeping her feet warm.
"Where the Sentalas just up?" She asked in a sleepy voice.
"Yes Lily. They where just greeting some one new." The woman replied. She kneeled down to the girl's eye level. "But they went back to sleep, which is what you should do to."
"Aww" Lily wined, looking over at Allen. "I wanted to meet the new person."
The woman gave a chuckle. "He'll still be here tomorrow, you can meet him then."
"Alright then. Good night new person." She told Allen, then she turned to the woman." Good night Noct."
"Good night Lily, see you in the morning."
Lily smiled before returning to her room and shutting the door.
Neah could be hurd in Allen's mind, snickering at the boys shock. But out side his mind it was quiet as the red head returned to her feet.
"So your Noct?" Allen asked, uncertain.
"I am." She turned to face him. In the dim light Allen could barley see that her eyes where blue. "But 'Noct' is actually just one of my nicknames. My real name is Cassandra Noctren Marian. It's nice to finally meet you Allen."
