Chapter 6 - Love Blossoms
The next morning Destiny woke up and shook her head remembering the night before.
Mary-Anne had come down to dinner with Storm. Destiny was green with envy, she didn't have any feelings for Storm personally, more Lucas. But she just didn't like seeing a stuck up girl like her so happy. Des made it her business to make her life as bad as possible.
Storm treated her like a queen with everything she could want, except for a perfect home and Des used that to egt under her skin. "Mary-Anne, dearest. Do you know how storm has NO HOUSE. Well then where will you live after your wedding?"
Mary-Anne went red with anger. "We have not sorted that out yet, I will find somewhere to accomidate us till we have enough money to buy." Mary- Anne stated but anyone in that room could see that she was embaressed and down fallen, she had probably been fretting on that for a while.
Shaun said that Mary-Anne and Storm would find somewhere to live soom, especially because of the baby. "Baby?" Des looked at Shaun utterly bewildered. "Yeah," he continued, "Didn't they tell you? Mary-Anne is pregnant with Storm baby, the mage at our hometown says it will be a boy."
Destiny nearly fell of her chair, Lisa's eyes nearly poped out of her head and Nathan nearly exploded with laughter. "Your kidding right! How long have you known each other?" Lisa asked when her eyes were back in their sockets. "We have known each other for 9 months and we knew she had a baby 4 months ago."
This time Des did fall of her chair and the room shattered in silence. "What!" Lisa bellowed. "You have only known each other for that long and you have already had a kid, geez, I expected better of you Storm." she snapped at him while Des got back up but refused to sit down, she stood, leaning against the wall instead. Afraid she would fall of her chair from shock again.
Storm clearly afraid of the girls, especially Destiny, glared at his brother and got up to go back to his room. Shaun never thought he did anything wrong just looked back at his brother, sorry. Lucas rose from teh table too but instead he walked out the back door to the stables.
Storm left with Mary-Anne but before he did Destiny held him back. "I always thought highly of you Storm, as a guy. But you are now at the bottom of my list. Marrying a snobby nobles daughter was one thing but making her fall pregnant is another." Then she let go of his hand and let Mary-Anne lead him away, mumbling under her breath.
Lisa took Shaun away to show him the house and Destiny went outside to see where Lucas had gone. He had left with his sleek grey stallion. She bridled up, not worrying about the saddle and urged Whisper to canter on in the direction Lucas had clearly gone.
After about 30 mins she found him resting on his horse looking at the moon, it was a cresent moon tonight. Des rode up beside him and sat back on Whisper, "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked him about the child-to-be- born. "I didn't want to say anything, I'm not to happy about it myself..." he answered jumping off his horse and walking forward. "Dont you like her?" Des asked.
"NO! I feel the same way you do and I never will like her. She has turned my elder brother into a thieving stupid idiot! He trots around listening to only what SHE has to say and never to us... it's humiliating." he poured his heart out to her, clearly nobody had listened to him before. She jumped down and patted him on the shoulder compfortably.
He turned and looked at her. Destiny's legs felt wobly, as butterflies flew around in her stomach. All at once she felt the smooth sensation of a kiss. His lips were on hers, this was the best kiss she had ever had, she fought to keep herself from falling because her legs were about to give way but she stayed where she was, didn't fall.
She broke of the kiss after a while, she loved it while it lasted but she knew they would have to get back and told him so, he nodded. "Storm and Shaun will have a frenzy if i'm back too late, they will want to know everything..." he sighed, "Brothers can be so annoying."
Destiny nodded, even though she knew nothing about family, Lisa was her closest thing to family and they fought enough to be sisters. She looked at him in the eyes and kissed him one last time, this kiss didn't go for that long but it was long enough. Lucas helped her mount and then he mounted his grey stallion and they left to ride back to the stables.
On the trip back they were silent. When they got back Nathan didn't say anything but when Lucas left to go back to his room Des just said to him. "We only kissed Nat, nothing more," he nodded and then turned to the horses, he believed her.
When Des got back to her room she slumped on the bed thinking about the kiss, "that was... nice," she thought to herself.
Last nights advents were interesting she thought as she finally got up. She dressed and went to get some breakfast and met Lisa on the way, she was beaming. "So I hear you got a nice juicy kiss last night Des," she laughed at her. Des smiled, "It was nice.. Better than my other ones..." Des told her beaming.
Lisa just smiled, she was happy for her friend as they sat at the table, it was set with food with no one else there. "Remind me to raise the servents pay," Lisa told Desting and she promised she would as they tucked in. Though after a few minutes their happiness was spoilt by Storm comming down. "Where's your wife-to-be?" Destiny snapped rudely at him.
Storm looked unmistakebly hurt. "She's sleeping in this morning, it's friday it's what she does today..." he said sitting down slowly. "You look down Storm... Why?" Lisa asked him carefully, sorry for him. He sighed, "I DONT LIKE HER!" he yelled at Destiny who nearly fell off her chair for the second time in the new house. "She treats me like dirt and I'm only marrying her because my father said I HAVE too!"
Storm sat down, gasping for breath, he obviously didn't yell alot. Destiny got the drift of bieng sorry for him, he looked poor and not very happy. "Why do you listen to him?" Lisa asked Storm thoughtfully. "I try not to listen to him always but he said that he wouldn't give me the deed to the house and his land."
Destiny was thoughtful. The poor kid if he didn't get the deed to his fathers land then it would be like living for himself and the kid was house bred he didn't know these things like she did. Living in the wild was something that she did best. The wild was her thing.
Storm ran his hand through his hair and then sighed, he obviously didn't want to say that much to the girls. They didn't have time to say much more because Lucas and Shaun walked in. Destiny smiled at Lucas and we blushed lightly while smiling back.
Storm caught his blush and looked from Des to Lucas and then shrugged, giving up. Shaun obviously knew because he just sat down to breakfast and whispered to Lisa, who laughed. Breakfast was very enjoyable. There was many varieties of food, Storm was himself and Lucas and Destiny kept shooting looks at each other across the table.
Mary-Anne came down to dinner after a while, when they were finishing. She swept in with an angry look on her face. "Storm?" she peacefully said, "WHY were you not still in bed when I woke up this morning?" she questioned him. Storm was lost for words, thinking up an excuse. Destiny, who was quick with excuses told her, "I needed him to help me with some of the horses this morning, it was none of your concern," Destiny snobbily said.
Mary-Anne looked over to Storm who nodded to her, going along with Des' excuse. "Fine then, I have to go and get ready, I will require a small fruit bowl for breakfast," she told Lisa and Des before they could answer a smart remark back she stalked off and closed the door behind her. "Great..." Lisa said.
"I'll go and tell the servents that they are required to make a small fruit bowl and to leave it in front of Mary-Anne's door and then run, I dont want them anywhere near her, she'll order them around. They are OUR slervents, not hers!" Destiny told Lisa who nodded agreeably.
Destiny went to tell the head servent while Lisa went to tend to Edge. He was trotting briskly around with Storm's bay gelding. Edge she softly whistled at him and he trotted silently over leaving Storm's bay to graze. "Come on," she beckoned him while she cliped on his leadrope and head collar. He jumped around beside her than stopped and then started again, "Your in an interesting mood today arn't you?" she asked him, smiling. He nodded his head, he knew.
When Edge was all tacked up Lisa rode him out into the paddocks at the front of their land. Destiny had fixed them up so that they looked almost new but there was a lot of bumps in it so Lisa still had to be careful, even more because of Edge's mood.
She started to walk him around, he was jumpy, too jumpy for himself. Lisa tried to quiet him but he wouldn't listen to her. HE started to buck and kick, he wouldn't stop. Lisa managed to stay on to the last kick, she flew off and hit the ground with a thud. Edge kept kicking around till his saddle came off and he stopped and hung his head in shame. Lisa was barely consious but she did remember just before she blacked out a boy came up to her and helped her up, he kept saying her name to try and wake her up but it didn't work, she blacked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When she woke she noticed first that she was in her room. There was a young girl there, one of her maids, Mia was what Des had called her. "Ahh, your awake Mistress Lisa, you were not supposed to wake for another few hours adleast. Mister Shaw has been very worried about you, he will be happy you are awake." Mai told ehr happily. "Thankyou Mia," Lisa slowly said, not really cut out for talking. Mia noticed that and gave Lisa a potion, it worked. Her throat was now back to normal, she could talk properly, "Thankyou again Mai," she gasped the potion was incredible. Mia nodded and walked out of the room with a bow.
Lisa shook her head and sat up slowly trying not to move many muscles, they were all sore. "Lisa?" Des' voice came from the door. "Come in Des!" Lisa smiled, Destiny was uneasy, she always was when someone was sick, her old friend Mapo had died from a small sickness when they were ith the Shang in the desert, she hadn't really recovered since.
"I'm fine Des," Lisa told her smugly, "there is nothing to worry about." Des sighed with relief she had been fretting for the past 3 days, waiting for her to wake up. "So tell me about my saviour, Shaw. Who is he?" she asked Desting curiously.
"Well... I've met him before. George, the Baron of Pirate Swoop is his trainer. He lives with them, he is quite cute and he is EXCELLENT at riding, but the first time I met him he wouldn't believe that the two wild- mages were girls, but I think I got it through his head." Destiny said. Lisa laughed, "I could see you doing that, flashing out your sword as he laughed when you told him you were one of the new wild-mages, haha."
Destiny grinned, "Am I that readable?" she asked Lisa, laughing. "Yes!" then they both cracked up laughing and then the hysteria kicked in. They were laughing for a good 5 mins, until Shaw walked in. Destiny stopped laughing and grinned at them both, "I'll see you two later," she told them and then walked out, laughing.
"Hi..," Shaw said to Lisa who grinnedback, "Hello to you to, my saviour," she told him. He smiled, "Oh I just did what I would normally do in my situation, when a girl was thrown off her horse onto the ground and knocked out." Lisa smiled, she liked this guy.
