Chapter 4
Rowena began to wake up slowly, without opening her eyes because she was enjoying the warmth of her bed and how soft it was. The air outside her furs felt very cold. Then all of a sudden with a thump something had fallen on her bed. She opened her eyes and smiled.
"Hello Tidium" said Rowena smiling retrieving a letter from the beak of her owl in front of her. After she took the letter, her brown and gray owl simply turned about and flew off without a gentle nip or a pat on the head. Rowena simply shook her head knowing that Tidium wouldn't want to have any relationship with a woman. Only 3 years old and already he thought he was better then her.
As she unrolled the parchment she noticed that it was from her mother. As she began to read she heard a swish of wings as two other owls began to descend from the rafters onto two other beds. Godric immediately shook himself and took the small parcel from his charcoal colored baby owl. He might be only 10 months old but already he was larger then Tidium.
"Thanks William" said Godric as he looked up and shot Rowena a sly smile. She felt a fluttering in her heart and smiled back, then she nestled back to read the letter.
Dear Rowena,
Hello darling. I hope this letter find you well and safe, but I don't know how reliable this owl of yours will be. Darling you really should reconsider another buying another one, although I don't know how you would be able to afford another owl with your wages. Darling, you simply must reconsider Paul's proposal. He is very well off and your father approves of him, besides I'm sure Paul would stop his womanizing once he has married you. Your father did.
Well, if I can't persuade you to accept Paul proposal the least you can do is come home for Christmas. We all miss you including your father. You cannot possibly think that living in that cramped flat with those "friends" of yours is a better alternative then coming home. And I think that I can persuade Paul to come to our Christmas dinner and who knows? He might even take you back. Please send your reply by owl soon. We both miss you terribly. Kiss, kiss
Mother
Rowena sighed and folded the parchment back up.
"Why can't she just accept that I won't marry that imbecile Paul and move on?" she wondered.
Just then Helga came marching into the hall already dressed, with a flushed face. Godric was eating the pastries that came to him in the parcel from home with flourish. Salazar had his back to the rest of the beds and was snoring loudly.
"Why have none of you gotten out of bed yet?" Helga asked loudly shaking her head.
"Because this is a vacation and we have a right to rest" said Godric.
"Would you all be quiet!" roared Salazar from under his blankets. "I'm trying to sleep!"
The other three looked at each other and laughed.
"You're right Helga" said Rowena as she rose from her bed. "We have a lot of work ahead of us, if we want to whip this place into shape."
*
Later that morning all four of them, now awake and full of breakfast were sitting about a table that Helga had conjured as they sat discussing what to do next. Salazar thought they should split up and explore the castle to find out everything about it. Helga thought they should first explore the forest to get an idea of the kind of animals and trees they were surrounded by. Rowena thought that they should begin cleaning, because already the dust and grime was bothering her to the point of hives. Godric thought that they should begin by touring the castle and determining what needs repairing. They were all speaking at once and arguing about what to do first.
Godric held up his hands and whistled loudly. The result was that everyone stopped talking to look at him just in time to see a large piece of the ceiling land on top of him because his whistled had shook the rafters.
Every burst out laughing. Rowena had to hold her sides because she was laughing so hard. Helga had fallen off her chair and Salazar couldn't breath because the sight of Godric sitting there looking sheepish with a large piece of ceiling on top of his head was too much for him.
As the laughter died out and Godric had finally brushed all the dust and ceiling off his head and shoulders he began to speak: "Okay, now that I'm clean again, we should really figure out something to do. We can't do what everyone wants first."
"No, we cannot do what everyone wants to do" said Helga slowly, "but we really should investigate about the kinds of animals surround the castle. On my walk today I only saw regular, harmless animals but I don't doubt that there are more dangerous animals out there."
"I don't see the importance" said Salazar waving his hand like he was shooing away a fly.
Helga went red in the face and looked down into her lap ashamed.
Godric turned red himself out of anger and looked as though he was going to murder Salazar. To avoid any fight Rowena immediately coughed and changed the subject.
"All right then, since we seem to be arguing about the wildlife, maybe we should discuss other things. Like cleaning, when are we going to start cleaning?" questioned Rowena looking about the table.
Godric was the first to answer. "I think that we should begin cleaning after we asses the damage about this old place. That roof tile that almost knocked me out was not just an accident. This castle is old and could be in serious trouble. We should really check it out and plus we can explore at the same time" he said looking very serious. "Now, who wants to sit here and argue some more?"
No one did, so they gathered some paper and quills to walk around the castle making notes of everything that is damaged. They also split up into teams of 2 so no one could get hurt and be lost somewhere deep inside.
Rowena and Godric paired up quickly. Salazar scowled when he saw them walking away and Helga noticed but didn't say anything because she was beginning to guess what Salazar was scowling at.
At the stairs Rowena and Godric stopped and waited for the other two to catch up.
"Which way would you guys like to take?" asked Rowena.
"Basement" said Salazar quickly. Helga looked disappointed, but she said nothing.
"Okay, then.....well, good luck you two" said Godric, as he lead Rowena upstairs.
