Timantha got inside the cathedral, took the cloak off, and stared at the church in awe. Everything looked so peaceful and calm with the candles lit around. She looked around the church, before she noticed a shadow coming behind her on the floor. She turned around, shoved Brian to the ground and held his sword in her hands. Gipsy looked at him and growled: ,, You! ,,
Brian was on the floor and backed up, while saying: ,, Easy, easy! I just shave this morning. ,,
Timantha asked with raised brow: ,, Oh, really? ,,
Brian back up until he his back was pressed against the pillar and said: ,, Alright, alright! Just calm down and let me apologize. ,,
Timantha still had the sword pointed at captain of guard and asked with a hint of anger: ,, For what? ,, S
he got kicked under her feet by Brian and fell to the ground. He picked up his sword, stood up and said: ,, That for example. ,,
Timantha gave him angry glare and said, before she stood up : ,, You sneaky, son of a- ,,
Brian warned her : ,, Ah, ah, ah. Watch it; you're in a church. ,,
Timantha grabbed a long candelabra and smirked: ,, Are you always this charming or am I just lucky. ,,
They started to fight and Brian was impressed by Timatha`s fighting skills. He laughed as he blocked a blow after a blow: ,, Candlelight, privacy, music; can't think of a better place for hand-to-hand combat. ,,
He blocked another blow and said : ,, You fight almost as well as a man. ,, Timantha smirked before shoving Brian away: ,, Funny, I was going to say the same thing about you! ,,
He teased her a little : ,, That's hitting a little below the belt, don't you think? ,, Gipsy said as he blocked a blow: ,, No this is. ,,
She smacked Brian`s jaw. He shook his head and said: ,, Touché! ,,
Poof jumped up and head butted his stomach, making Brian grunt. He said as he looked at Poof: ,, I didn't know you had a kid. ,,
Timantha backed away and sneered: ,, Well, he doesn't take kindly to soldiers. ,, Brian forgot about pain and looked at gipsy as he said: ,, Yes , I noticed. Permit me, I'm Brian. It..It means noble. And you are? ,,
Timantha still held the candelabra as she asked: ,, Is this an interrogation?,, Brian sheathed his sword and said: ,, It's called an introduction. ,,
Timantha was surprised and raised a brow: ,, You're not arresting me? ,,
Brian looked around the church before saying: ,, As long as you're in here, I can't. ,,
Gipsy placed the candelabra back to where it was and said: ,,You're not at all like the other soldiers.,,
Brian smiled and blushed as he said: ,, Thank you. ,, .
Gipsy stepped towards Brian and asked: ,, So, if you're not going to arrest me, what do you want?,,
He said, trying not to blush : ,, I'd settle for your name. ,,
Timantha told her name, ignoring Poof, who wasn`t sure about it. Brian said as he looked at Timantha: ,, Beautiful, much better than Brian anyway. ,,
They stepped closer, blushing, it looked as if cupid`s arrow hit their hearts with one strike. Suddenly the door opened AntiCosmo came in with three guards. He said to Brian: ,, Good work, Captain! Now, arrest her! ,,
Poof quickly hid behind Timantha. Thinking fast, Brian looked at Timantha and whispered to claim sanctuary. But she gave him angry look. Ignoring the look she gave him, he hissed: ,, Say it!,,
Timantha whispered angrily: ,, You tricked me! ,,
AntiCosmo was getting closer and said a bit impatiently: ,, I'm waiting, Captain.,,
Brian turned to judge and said: ,, I'm sorry, sir. She claimed sanctuary. There's nothing I can do. ,,
AntiCosmo was getting annoyed and said: ,, Then, drag her outside and- ,,
He was cut off when AJ came to them and said: ,, AntiCosmo, you will not touch her! ,,
He said, placing a hand on Timantha`s shoulder: ,, Don't worry. Minister AntiCosmo learned years ago to respect the sanctity of the church. ,,
Judge glare at Timantha .He turned away, but he soon hid behind a pillar. The Archdeacon escorted captain and goat butted Brian to get going. Brian said as he was urged to leave: ,, Alright! Alright! I'm going! ,,
Timantha watched solders leave, but AntiCosmo sneaked behind her. She gasped as her arm was held tightly behind her. She tried to break free, but judge held her tighter and said: ,, You think you've outwitted me? But I am a patient man and gypsies don't do well inside stone walls. ,,
Gipsy turned her head away, but he placed his face near her hair and inhaled. They were soft and gentle. Timantha asked with fear in her voice : ,, What are you doing?,,
Judge placed his hand on her neck and said : ,, I was just imagining a rope around that beautiful neck. ,,
Her skin was soft and gentle at his touch . Timantha finally broke free and said with anger in her eyes: ,, I know, what you were imagining. ,,
AntiCosmo smirked as he looked at her: ,, Such a clever witch. So typical of your kind to twist the truth and cloud the mind with unholy thoughts. ,,
He turned and said while walking to the door: ,,Well, no matter. You've chosen a magnificent prison, but it is a prison nonetheless. Set one foot outside and you're mine. ,,
He walked out of the doors and slammed them shut. Feeling trapped, girl ran towards the doors, opened them to hear that guards are going to be at every door. She slammed them shut as she leaned to door. Timantha sat down and hugged her knees. Poof came to her and she said: ,, Don't worry, Poof . If AntiCosmo thinks he can keep us here, he's wrong. ,,
AJ was lighting some candles and said: ,, Don't act rationally, my child. You created quite a stir at the festival. It would be unwise to arouse AntiCosmo's anger further.,,
Timantha said as she stood up and walked to him: ,, You saw what he did? Letting the crowd to torture that poor boy. I thought if one person could just stand up to him and ... ,,
Gipsy sighed and asked AJ : ,, What do they have against people who are different anyway? ,,
He said as they went on walk: ,, You can't right all the wrongs by yourself. ,, Timantha sighed sadly: ,, No one out there's going to help, that's for sure. ,,
He led her towards the statue of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Priest said to her calmly: ,, Well, maybe there is someone in here who can. ,,
He left to do his business in the mass, then gipsy looked around. People were around praying and walking in silence. Timantha looked the statue and sang :
I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You would listen
To a gypsy's prayer
She walked to the statue slowly and looked at it again.
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to you
Still I see Your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast too?
High in bell tower Cosmo thought about the day outside his home, when he heard someone singing like an angel. He followed the song, wondering who is singing it. Timantha walked slowly down the halls with the candles lit and sang.
God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
God help my people
We look to You still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will
Cosmo came down one of the floors and he looked, leaning from fence at the hallway below. It was gipsy girl, who was singing with goat following her. She was the one, who stood up against his master AntiCosmo. As Timantha walked, a bunch of people processed down the ailse in prayer as they sang:
I ask for wealth
I ask for fame...
I ask for glory to shine on my name
A woman looked at the stained glass window showing Jesus and sang:
,, I ask for love..,,
Some other people joined her singing while looking at the window:
,, I can posess
I ask for God and His angels to bless me. ,,
They reached with their hands as high as they could. Timantha leaned on wall as she sang :
I ask for nothing
I can get by
Cosmo quietly came down stairs and hid behind a pillar holder .He watched Timantha walking along the wall that showed the life of Christ from his birth, miracles, death, and resurrection. She sang.
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
Please help my people
The poor and downtrod
Timantha walked to the colorful shadow, showing colored glass. She sang as the stained glass window showed brightly by the sun.
I thought we all were
The children of God
God help the outcasts
Children of God
Poof came to his friend, who got on her knees and hugged him. Cosmo sighed quietly as he stood there and forgot everyone around.
