Chapter 4
I stuttered, looking for a way to explain what had happened. "I…um…we….the storm….didn't do anything! It's the….storm….we were tired and…um….."
Luka chose that exact moment to wake up and save me, apparently. "Wha…? Where am I?"
I held back a smile, thinking how cute he was still half-asleep, and looked to Marta then back to Luka several times. "Um…"
Marta finally gained control of her mouth: "Creel! What on earth happened here? Don't give me that look! What did you two do? Why is he even here?"
I immediately jumped up, saying "we didn't do anything! He was here for…. A visit and couldn't leave because of the storm. We were talking on the couch and must have fallen asleep! It was an accident!" I said all in one breath.
Luka looked at me, the look in his eyes saying that he was a bit slow in the mornings. "Why are we on your couch?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PAGE BREAK!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"My father is going to kill me. Then Creel. Then me again." I couldn't look at him as he spoke, too embarrassed now that I realized what this looked like. Even Marta, my best friendwas having trouble believing the truth.
"What will people think? OH, Creel, you've really got yourself into trouble this time."
I looked at Marta. "But I didn't do anything!" I wailed, "it was an accident!"
She began to reply, but was cut off as someone knocked on the door. Glaring at us, she went to open it. A few awkward momets later, she came back, pale-faced. "It's a messanger from King Caxel. He wishes to see both of you at the palace. Now."
A/N yeesh, the OCness of this chapter is making me hesitate to post this….I am so sorry, but for now it's all I've got….
