Chp.2
Van sat silently as he piloted his blade liger toward the mansion. He wasn't too happy to be going to tell the truth. He wanted to sit in his room, but then again if he stayed he might have killed himself.
"Oh my God! Look at that place!" Moonbay gawked as a large white mansion came into view. Bright red and pink roses grew in lush, green bushes. Beautiful green grass grew far and wide. A wooden stable layed not far from the house. Many horses were inside. "This is amazing!"
"Yeah, yeah, I-it's beautiful," Van sighed as he layed his cheek upon his hand.
"Hey, Van, lighten up," Irvine said. They stopped and climbed out. A beautiful chesnut horse came riding up as Zeke climbed out.
"Hey everyone!" Fiona said as she climbed off the horse and pulled off her maroon helmet. Her hair was pulled back in a bun and she was wearing a pink and maroon riding suit. "I'm so glad you could come. C'mon inside!" Fiona said as she went and tied up the horse and fed it a carrot. "Dinner should be ready soon. I'll show you to your rooms."
Van and Irvine found two very nice suits in the large closets. They dressed in them and walked out to the edge of the stairs. "Irvine, I hate this. I feel so out of place here. I mean my whole family didn't even have running water. Look at this place though. It's huge and bright and-*sigh* Fiona probably loves it here. There's everything she wants and more here. Why should I tell her what I desire. I can't give her what she wants," Van sighed.
"Van," Irvine said when Moonbay came out of her room. Van couldn't help but smile when Irvine turned red. Moonbay was in a very lovely green gown. Her hair was down, and she wore the slightest bit of make up. Van and Irvine both stood in their white suits grinning.
"Irvine, care to escort a woman to dinner?" Moonbay asked, noticing Irvine blushing.
"Uhhhh-sure! Sure," Irvine said and held out his arm. Moonbay took it and walked with him down the stairs. Van followed alone.
Van gasped as he saw Fiona and Fredrick come down the stairs. He stopped and stared at the elegant princess. Her hair was pulled up in a fancy bun. She wore a gorgeus red ball gown with pink triming and white lace. She wore a garnet pearl necklace around her neck and pink gloves. He had just dropped for her right there and tried to imagine him on her arm. He hated Fredrick with a passion. Something was just wrong about him though he didn't know just what.
"Van, why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?" Fiona asked as Van fiddled with his food. Van looked up at her and looked back down quickly. Just looking at her was hard now.
"I-I'm not feeling well at the moment. Please excuse me," Van got up and left before anyone could stop him. He walked into the bedroom that Fiona had given him and sank into the bed. The big fluffy comforter reminded him of the summer they had together two years ago. He closed his eyes tightly and remembered……
"Van, stop it!" Fiona laughed as Van splashed water on her. She splashed back and made hair fall in his face. They had been swimming all day and the sun was going down so they climbed out. He layed down in the grass with Fiona next to him and stared at the stars that were just now beginning to come out.
"Hey Fiona, see that beautiful crimson part of the sunset with the amazing stars?" Van asked.
"Yes, I see it," Fiona said in her usual tone.
"When I look at it, I think of you. It's just like your eyes, ruby and full of stars," Van said and turned to look at her, pushing himself up on one elbow.
"Oh, Van," She whispered and leaned in. They both kissed each other just as the sun dissapeared from the sky.
Van opened his eyes and saw the clock. It read 2:30 AM. "Well, looks like I'm gonna do some snoopin'. This Fredrick guy will regret he ever took Fiona and broke my heart," Van said to himself and changed into a black t-shirt and black pajama pants.
