Chapter two: Rosethorn's Advice
"Sandry can I speak to you?" asked Rosethorn.
"In PRIVET," she added as she saw the rest of the group spin their heads around to listen.
"Of course, 'bout what?"
Rosethorn shot an eye in Briar's direction, "You'll see, dear."
Sandry reluctantly got up out of her comfortable position in between Briar and Daja and walked curiously over to Rosethorn.
"Lark! Lark, I'm going out with Rosethorn, okay?"
"Oh, that's fine, just be back before dinner time", she yelled down the stairs.
"Rosethorn," Sandry panted as she ran down the road after a surprisingly fit Rosethorn.
"Yes?" she replied, as if there was nothing out of order.
"What's going on? I'm getting tired."
"Your point being?"
"Oh Rosethorn, don't be so cruel, tell me what's going on!"
"I thought I told you you'd find out in a minuet, when have you known me to break my word?"
Although Rosethorn can be incredibly mean when she wants to, she has a point when she says she never breaks her word, as, well she never does. She thinks that there's nothing wrong with scaring you half to death but if you break word you should be fried in a pan with hot oil. And that's nothing compared to when you go break your word to her. in-fact, I'd rather not talk about it. poor, poor Sally.
"I guess not" replied a very curious Sandry.
But she didn't have to be curious any more, because Rosethorn had suddenly come to a halt next to Winding circle's volcano.
"Come on, Sandry," said Rosethorn.
"What? You mean up there?! Are you trying to kill me?!
"Look, Sandry, calm down. There's a hollow cave-type-thing up there, Lark and I found it while we were inspecting it after it last erupted, six years ago."
"You mean that thing erupts?!"
Obviously, Sandry didn't fancy the idea of going into a volcano, let alone one that erupted a few short years ago.
"I know what you're thinking, is she mad she going to kill us all? But I assure you nothing's going to happen. If anything was going to happen, then Daja would feel her blood bubbling-like hot lava- but, of course, I asked her just before we left. So now will you come?"
"Okay I'll.wait why do you want to bring me up there anyway?"
"Because I have to a) Tell you something that I don't want anyone to over- hear, and b) Because I have to let you see the beautiful sight there."
"Okay," she said, reluctantly.
When they got up, Sandry saw that Rosethorn was right; there was a hollow cave-type-thing. And there was a beautiful sight.
" So what do want to tell me?"
"I want to talk to you about Briar."
"What about Briar?" Her voice gave the impression there was nothing to say about him but she also started to blush.
"Well you're, how do I put this, you're dating." She said this as if she really didn't like the idea of it. "Now don't get me wrong, I think you're a great couple, but I want to know why you like him."
"Well, I've known him for years and I'm like best friends with him, so that covers the friendship aspect of it, but when I look into his eyes I see my future, with him. When he smiles, I go weak. and when he tells me he loves me, my heart skips a beat. I feel so happy around him. I couldn't imagine my life without him."
"Then I guess I have no choice but to give you my blessing. I hope you don't mind me asking you this but, have you gone on you're first date yet?"
"No, not yet."
"What about here?"
"Oh that would be wonderful!"
"But before you go, I don't want to be the one to do this but, have you had the sex talk?"
"WHAT!!! Look, Rosethorn, I think you've got the wrong idea, we haven't even thought about that, I mean, we're only just 15."
"Oh of course! I mean about when a man and a women are that serious."
"Oh right yeah, I know."
"Okay now that that's sorted, lets get this ready for your date!"
"Sandry can I speak to you?" asked Rosethorn.
"In PRIVET," she added as she saw the rest of the group spin their heads around to listen.
