Reseme's Story
Chapter 36
Why
That was all Reseme could think as she treated her brother.
Soon to be the only close relative she had left.
The thought made her cringe.
No more Mother
No more Father
If she didn't figure something out she wouldn't even have Mordrid.
No!
She wouldn't let that happen!
Her hands shook as she worked viciously and carefully to help her brother.
She was memorizing every part of him as she did.
It had been so long…
He was so much older.
So much more mature.
But he was still Mordrid
His resposnes, his eyes, the way he spoke to her.
It was all her baby brother.
The thought made her smile.
Of course then she her thoughts went to Merlin…
A relationship she wasn't sure she could patch.
What could she say?
"I lied to you because I had to."
"I lied because I couldn't chance you telling the King."
"I didn't lie."
"You never asked."
"My family is in peril, I need you to stop badgering me and making me feel bad when I need to take care of them."
Yup!
She was doomed.
Her…whatever the heck she had with Merlin was over.
The thought made her want to cry.
She was taken out of her thoughts when a hand covered one of her own stopping her work.
She looked to the source of the hand to see her brother watching her curiously.
"What is it?"
She shook her head smiling at him. She always had loved his curiosity.
"Nothing."
"Your not telling me something."
She looked up from her work once more to see him looking determinedly at her. She knew he wasn't going to stop.
She seemed to think about it a second before continuing their mental conversation.
"Do you remember the man who was here before?"
"Emrys?"
She nodded completely forgetting that was the same thought she had when she had first met the boy.
"Yes."
"What about him?"
"Well, we're quite close. He's a very good…friend of mine. Sometimes I think he's more than that…anyway, I didn't tell him about my past or you, or that I had magic and now he is furious at me and we aren't speaking."
Mordrid watched her with an odd fasciation.
His sister was very smart.
But sometimes she was so stupid!
"Reseme."
She looked up at him waiting for him to continue.
"Merlin is much more than your friend." She smiled blushing furiously looking to make sure they were alone, even though no one could heart them.
"And how do you know this?" She spoke outloud this time. Deeming it was safe.
Mordrid laughed out loud.
"I only watched him talk to you for a minute and I could see the care and love he had for you. How do you not see it?"
"What! M-Merlin does not love me! You my little brother are crazy!"
He rolled his eyes absolutely positive he was right.
"Whatever you say Reseme, whatever you say."
The two laughed as Reseme continued her work.
"I want a good seat at your wedding though."
"Mordrid!"
"And I want one of your kids named after me."
"I preferred when you weren't speaking."
