I know that sounds like legal jargon and such especially for a fan fiction website, but I have already had my story line plagiarized.

Coming Home

August 1919, Avonlea

Part 3

That night Janet, Alec, Daniel, went to Halifax for a couple of days. So Izzy stayed overnight with Cecily, Felix, and Elbert. Felicity and Gus would check up on them sometime in the night. The doorbell rang and he quickly went to welcome the person. She shrugged her shoulders in hello and went inside to meet his sister, while he went back to preparing dinner. He then rung the bell and Felix again answered it and let Elbert Werts in. The two boys then made their way to the kitchen to finish dinner. Then when dinner was finished and they all sat at the table Felix saw Elbert had his eye on one of the girls, Cecily.

"Elbert." Felix said quietly in the kitchen.

"Yes?"

"Do you like Cecily?"

"Well…yeah."

"Thanks." He replied and started to walk out to the parlor.

"Uh…you're not going to tell her; are you?"

"No."

"Thanks." He replied and rushed ahead of him to sit next to the girls, "My gosh; love is certainly in the air." Felix exclaimed as the doorbell rang and he went to answer it, "Sarah Stanley, what a surprise!" he beamed, "Cecily, come down and see who's here!"

"Well, Mr. King…how you've been?" just as she asked Izzy, Elbert, and Cecily came down stair.

"I've been better," he replied looking at Izzy. * Great, she's still with Riley. * Sarah thought.

"Hello you all."

"Hi Sara." exclaimed Cecily.

"Why don't we all go in the parlor?" asked an impatient Elbert.

"I'll be in there a second, but let me talk to Felix. Oh Elbert will you take my bags up stairs." He nodded in reply as they all exited.

"Felix, may I have a word with you?" He already knew where she was getting too, the war, his thoughts, his life, Izzy, she knew him too much. She read through his eyes the moment he opened the door for her. In the kitchen they talk, as silent as possible and as quiet as can be, "How are you really, Felix?"

"Okay, I guess, it's was pretty hard going to sleep here."

"I know you probably have been experiencing nightmares." She replied putting a hand on his.

"Yeah, I'll get through it though; I always do."

"What about everything else-how are you dealing with that?"

"Well…Izzy and I have agreed to just be friends and Elbert and I have decided to leave the war behind us."

********

He sank into his bed again and focused on the ceiling; Elbert had already fell asleep, except he didn't know if he wanted to. The nightmares were getting worst and worst; he didn't know if he could live with the memories. All the memories of Shannon and of Jeff dying; it was just so hard. After many boring hours he finally fell asleep, but woke with a sudden startled and he shot up in the middle of the night, it woke up Elbert. "Felix!" exclaimed Elbert whose strong grip gripped his shoulder, "What's wrong?"

"It was nothing…just a dream."

"Another nightmare." replied Elbert.

"I guess so."

"About war."

"No, it was about the prison, the gun shots, the stabs…everything that I experienced; of course it was about war."

"Just lay back, rest your head and think happy thoughts."

"I'll try father; I will." He joked.

********

He again woke up with a sudden startled, but he noticed a figure already watching him. The figure's slim shape and built he could easily tell who it was. "Izzy." He whispered and the figure's head turned to look at him. "Felix… are you okay?"

"Been better."

"You had another nightmare?"

"Yeah."

"About what?"

"German prison camp; we had to carry forty-five pounds of soil for five hours, before eating mush. Shannon McNeil my inmate and close friend during training was in there with me. We escaped, but the belligerents gunned him down. That whole experience was in my dream." His best friend looked at him and put her arm on his shoulder and whispered to him. "I'm …we're here for you now go back asleep." She replied and kissed his cheek. He didn't know what she was doing at his bedside, but he didn't want to know. Her presence calmed his stirring soul like a mothers touch calmed a child. * This Felix King has certainly changed. * Her head repeated as she exited the room.

********

This time he didn't have a startle when he woke, it was morning and he had actually had a dream. He noticed no one watching him as he got up and looked out the window. The sun was shining bright and clear as he walked over to the dresser and put his everyday clothes and then headed down stairs to his surprise through Cecily was trying to make breakfast with Elbert hovering over her and Sara and Izzy talking at the table.

"Why didn't you wake me up, I could have cooked breakfast?" Felix asked as they sat down to eat.

"Oh Felix you haven't even tried my food- porridge, yet." Cecily cried. Once everyone had at least two minutes of sour faces he went up and asked, "Eggs or toast?"

"Eggs." They replied in unison.

********

Once he had placed the food on the table someone had to start a conversation and Elbert had to ask something, it had kept him on edge all night, "So Cecily, have your first kiss yet?" he asked than Felix smashed his foot, "Ow!"

"Well…no."

"Any crushes?" asked Sara, while Felix and Izzy exchanged glances, "Well…there was one guy."

"Who was it?" asked Elbert.

"Wiley Lester." Just then Felix spit out his drink; Izzy, Elbert and Sara just glanced at each other, "Felix?"

"Nothing… so do you like anyone else?"

"I wouldn't tell in a million years!" she screamed, "Ow!" he cried, "Izzy!"

"Serves you right, Felix King." She scolded.

"And I thought you were on my side." He cringed.

"So Felix did you fall in love with any foreign girls?" Elbert asked and he got one of his own feet squashed by Sara, "In fact I did." Felix answered with a slight sound of gloating through a scoff, "Hmm…let's hear about it."

"Why would you care about my love affairs, Izzy."

"Come on Felix." Sara agreed.

"Oh not you too…do you want me to bring up Booth Elliott."

"Who's Booth-" Cecily began, but then she was interrupted, "No, now just tell." Elbert exclaimed, "Okay…it was this American nurse when I was in the hospital-"

"Why were you in the hospital?" Cecily questioned.

"I'd gotten stabbed on a secret mission. Well-what?" he exclaimed at Izzy's face, "Oh…yes it was after I heard that you were supposedly engaged; she must have been… 6"0 and great lips."

"Oh that's nice, Felix, but what about Booth Elliot?" Cecily asked.

"Now look Felix King…I don't recall you sharing about your first kisses. You too Izzy!" Sara explained. First Felix looked at Izzy and Izzy looked back, "I'd rather not talk about that."

"Oh yeah." exclaimed Elbert not knowing that Felix had had a first kiss, "You don't have one, huh? After that conspiracy Donny Lester spread. " Felix ignored him until he heard Donny's name, "Ops!"

"Donny Lester?" demanded Izzy.

"Everyone knows that he and Hannah Huble had-uh, oh."

"Uh, oh is right Elbert tell us!" Felix demanded.

"Please Elbert!" commanded a concerned Izzy.

"Can we talk about Booth Elliot?" asked Cecily.

"No." They replied in unison, "Okay…Donny Lester told Hannah Huble that Felix kissed you because Felix wouldn't tell us anything about your trip to Pine Bend. Felix honestly said that a real gentleman doesn't tell things about his conquest or falls. Plus Hannah hated you because you had an eye for Felix. Then once she had gotten together with Donny she forgot about Felix, but the only reason why she had got with Donny is because they had made your lives miserable, then he dumped her at the fair. " Izzy then turned to say something to Felix but Sara knew it might go into another fight, "Well …then Booth Elliot was a great dancer."

"Better then Felix?" Cecily asked and Felix looked at Izzy again who shrugged her shoulders and then Felix cleared his throat. Just then a boy burst in the house, "Felix…Felix!"

"Slow down Davy Keith."

"Mr. Treymane had a stroke."

"I gotta get down there." He stood up and nearly tripped over Izzy who put her hand on his shoulder. He let it slipped off his back; "I need to go and change."

"I'll go get the car." Elbert interjected.

"I'll come with you."

When she had left the room Sara and Cecily exclaimed looks, "She must still like Felix." Cecily declared.

"Oh yeah." Sara agreed, "You can really tell."

Just then someone opened the door; "Aren't you people coming!" exclaimed Davy.

"Were coming, don't worry!" exclaimed Cecily.

********

When they got to the White Sands hotel, he saw Mr. Treymane on the ground and Dr. Snow and Aunt Hetty hovering over the motionless body. Tears could be seen in Hetty's face as she looked at the motionless body whose life was dangling on the line. The assistant manager knew that his employer was in a comma, he looked at the comrades along him and then at his friends, for once in his life, he was scared. He didn't know what would happen to his private life if he had to resume for responsibility of the manger if Simon Treymane died or had a long rehabilitation, like Rachael Lynne. He still was uncomfortable seeing the situation in front of him, but when he was about to turn and burst out of the hotel someone had beet him to it; Izzy had.
