Holding on to the Rooftops- Magic
Scott tried to get away, tried to run, tried to move but his legs were glued to the floor. He looked over at Shelby and saw that she was having the same troubles. Scott cursed under his breath as Elaine's gaze rested on Shelby.
"What is she doing here?" Elaine asked maliciously. "You can leave."
Shelby stood there defiantly and then shook her hair away from her face. "I'm not leaving."
"Fine then, have it your way," Elaine scoffed. "Kay, take her out to the forest and kill her."
Kay looked up with a glint in his eyes that glint sent shivers down his back. "Well milady, you see, Ector and I have been off questing for you for awhile, and well we need a little…"
Elaine flashed her brilliant teeth. "I understand Kay, do with her want you want. But make sure you kill her."
Kay nodded his head in thanks. Scott was still trying to understand what he meant when it hit him like a ton of bricks. "No you won't," he yelled and charged at Kay. His attempts were blocked as Ector gave him a love tap that shoved him into a wall.
"Ector, Ector," Elaine said as she wrapped a slender arm around Ector's shoulders. "Let Scotty plead his whore's case."
This sent Scott off as he used all his adrenaline to pounce on Elaine. His victory was short lived as Ector grabbed him off. Scott tried to shake the man's grip off but he was unsuccessful. "Well Scotty," Elaine said bitterly. "You did a magnificent job pleading your whore's case but I am afraid you are denied. Take her away."
Kay smiled and looked at Shelby in such a way that would have made Scott puke. He started to drag Shelby off while she tried to resist him. "Shelby," Scott screamed into the unrelenting wind.
"SHELBY," Scott tried again.
"Scott," Peter said shaking him again and again. "Scott it's okay, it's okay."
Scott's eyes fluttered as he looked into Peter's eyes. "Shelby," Scott said again.
He heard a rustling next to him and turned to see Shelby's perfect form. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Shelby," he said softly as he wrapped her up. Holding Shelby in his arms was such a comforting feeling. It made him feel like he could protect her from anything; a feeling that was much needed right now.
Shelby stirred and then her eyes flew open. "Scott," she said grasping on to him. "I… I had the most horrible…"
"I know," Scott said in Shelby's ear. "I had it too."
"I was so scared," Shelby said to Scott's chest. Scott couldn't help but smile; Shelby hated to admit weakness.
"Seeing as you are both okay, I would like for you to explain to me how you ended up sleeping next to each other," Peter said bringing them both back to reality. Scott shook his head because this was one question he did not know the answer to.
Shelby popped her head out of Scott's chest. "Don't go all 'shunning' on us Peter. I was just going to the bathroom when I saw Scott tossing and turning. So, I laid down next to him."
"It's no big deal," she said when Peter just stared at her. "I mean, we didn't have sexual intercourse or anything. Scott wasn't even awake so what fun would that have been?"
Peter just rolled his eyes but Scott knew he was amused. "Make sure it doesn't happen when we get back to Horizon."
Shelby shot up and saluted. "Aye, aye Captain!"
Scott laughed along with Peter and then stood up next to Shelby. He walked behind her and then wrapped her up once again. "When are we going back?" Scott asked inquisitively.
Peter looked down. "We were going to stay for two weeks but it looks like we will end up staying a week maximum. Which means some of the things I planned for us to do we won't be."
"Like what?" Shelby asked unsatisfied with his mysterious air.
"Well," Peter glanced at Scott. "We were going to go down to your parents to celebrate your birthday a little early but it looks like that will have to be done at Horizon on time."
Scott felt himself blush as Shelby turned to face him. "That's right Cowboy, you're birthday's in a month and three days."
Scott tried to look nonchalant but was unsuccessful. "Yeah." Scott then began to imagine a birthday party at his Dad's. It would be perfect. His mother and father who had begun to reconcile would announce their engagement. Scott would be with Shelby and everyone would have a great time. Scott smiled at the thought and Shelby stared at him. He stirred out of his little fantasy and laughed at himself. "Oh well, so you got Sophie pregnant."
Scott hoped Peter wouldn't be offended and see the underlying joking tone of his voice. Peter had a stern look on his face and Scott was afraid he was in trouble. Then Peter broke into a jubilant laugh and patted Scott on his back. "So I did, so I did."
Scott and Peter started laughing and 'fighting' in the way that guys do with their friends. They were having a lot of fun until Shelby said, "boys!" Then they both stopped immediately with their hands behind their back.
"I'm going to go get some breakfast," Peter said slapping Scott on the back in a friendly way.
"Okay man," Scott said smiling as he watched Peter walk out the door. His smile vanished as he turned to face Shelby. Shelby rolled her eyes but broke out into a smile. "Ah ha, I knew you couldn't resist the magical charms of Scott William Barringer!"
Shelby's smile went up to her ears as she leaned in to give Scott a kiss. "What a loser," something grumbled from the bed. Both Scott and Shelby turned to see who it was. Scott was relieved to see Daisy. "I can't believe you like him."
"You're the one who bounced around from Ezra to David and ended up on Auggie," Shelby retorted. Scott smiled; Shelby may be crabby sometimes but she always defended him when it came to whether or not he was good enough. Scott worried about that sometimes but he knew Shelby did too.
"Shelby," Daisy said popping out of the tomb she had made with the covers. "You know just as well as I do that me and Auggie are not an 'item.' Besides I never liked Ezra or David."
Scott had to laugh at that. Everyone knew that that was the biggest lie. Shelby shook her head and squinted her eyes at Daisy. "Right, right, of course. No, no, I believe you."
"SHUT UP," David said somewhere on the floor. "There are some people trying to sleep here."
"And there are some people trying to talk here. You're the one who interrupted us," Daisy retorted glaring at David's covers. Scott nodded his head. Shelby was right; Daisy was only hanging around with Auggie because she was mad at David. Ever since Ezra had left David had been hanging around Juliette. It was like he thought if he would leave Daisy alone Ezra would come back to claim her. What it caused was Daisy and Auggie spending time with each other just to spite Juliette and David. This in turn had alienated Juliette. Shelby had explained it all to Scott but he hadn't gotten it until now.
"Nobody was talking to you," David said resorting back to first grade.
"YOU were," Daisy said angrily.
"Umm, no I wasn't."
"Go bite yourself," Daisy said storming into the bathroom.
Once she had slammed the door David threw his hands up in the air. "Finally, some peace and quiet!"
"You're such a jerk," Shelby yelled at David as she stepped on him to get into the bathroom. The door slammed and looked down at David. David just smiled up at Scott.
"That was real good," Scott said looking at the unmoving door.
"What can I say?" David asked propping his legs up on the bed. "I'm magic."
Author's Note: Okay, so what did you guys think??? Huh? Huh? Yeah, I know it was kind of lacking but I have a project to work on and since y'all gave me so many reviews (I checked them in my geography class (the class I have the project in) while we were supposed to be on the internet researching our topic) y'all are great. So… since my lackingness is in full mode this time I am not going to have a required amount but at least one would be nice… Anyway, if you are a fan of 'I'll Give Ya Four Fingers' you're gonna have to wait because I am having a writers block in that section if you couldn't tell by my last chapter… ANYWAY! PLEASE REVIEW! I LOVE-OR YOU TOO!
