I looked up at a man on a dark horse. It was hard to see; he blocked out the sun. He dismounted his horse and approached me. It was now easier to see.
He was wearing a black helmet that matched his armor. He slid his helmet off and shook his head to get his hair out of his face. He had black hair and dark eyes. His lips curved into a mischievious grin. It almost reminded me of Kyle's giddy smile.
"Mia said I'd see you hear." he said. His voice was deep and smooth.
"...Blake?" I asked.
His smile widened, "You know my name? I'm honored. It's a pleasure, Miss De Alkirk." He kneeled infront of me and softly pecked the back of my hand. I was irriated but held my feelings inside. I wouldn't want to be rude, he was anxious to meet me.
So instead, I giggle. Giggle? I don't giggle... I usually growl...giggle? I shook my head and came back to my senses.
"Um, listen, Blake, I already-"
"Have plans? They can be rescheduled."
What a jerk! "No Blake, YOU can wait."
"Is there a problem here?" another familiar voice asked. I saw, behind Blake, no one other than Kyle! Just in time, too.
"Kyle!" I exclaimed, looking relieved.
"What's a matted up scumbag thief like yourself doing here, sir?" Blake asked Kyle, grinning.
Kyle gritted his teeth, "You take that back you wussy!" Kyle withdrew his sword and so did Alex. Luna and I backed away.
Blake laughed, "Hah! I wouldn't want to spare your...letter openers in this battle. Please." Blake put his hand on his fore head and was laughing hysterically. Then, he put his helmet off and bid me a farewell. He mounted his horse, and rode away.
Kyle and Alex sheathed their swords. "Letter openers? He'll regret that! Didn't he know he wasn't only talking to me, but the former Dragonmaster Alex? What nerve!"
I sighed and walked to Kyle. "Thank you, Kyle. This reminds me when we were kids... Only you saved me from a bully."
"Hey, no problemo, Jess! By the way, who was he?"
"His name is Blake, and Mia tried getting me to date him."
"WHAT! Doesn't Mia know about us, Jess?"
"She's been acting strange lately. And I haven't seen Nash anywhere. Usually he pops up out of no where and starts ordering me around."
"Ugh, I knew Nash was no good! Ordering you around, what next? Not putting his makeup on in the morning?"
I laughed. Now this is what I enjoy about Kyle. He can be a jerk at times, but he's usually humerous.
"Anyhow," I said, "I'd better get home before my dad worries." I started to walk away, and the group followed.
"Jessica, is it ok if we come with you?" Luna asked.
"Yeah! We can have a slumber party things... or whatever you girls call 'em!" Nall said. "We can go to Lann and buy some fish, too!"
"Sure! Though I don't think father would be happy about Kyle staying the night." I laughed.
"Heh, heh! Hell, Jess, I'd be partying with your dad so much that he won't remember I even stayed the night!" Kyle barked.
Even though walking to school and back is usually hard, I didn't notice this time. Talking and hanging out with my friends makes time go faster. How time flies...
We arrived in Meribia in the afternoon. A crowd gathered in the center of town. Standing on a crate was Nash. He was ranting about some black knight.
We scurried over and into the crowd. We all managed to make our way through the crowd and to Nash. "Nash!" I exclaimed.
Nash looked down at us and smirked, "Why, if it isn't..." Nash jumped from the crate and to us. "Could we, uh... Talk somewhere else? I need to talk to you all."
I nodded. Maybe Nash isn't so bad after all. He trusts us... So we all walked through town and to the entrance of Meribia Mansion. We made our way inside. Walking, we passed my father, and with a short 'hello', we kept moving. Climbed the stairs and went into Jessica's room.
Luna and I sat on my bed. Nall curled up on my lap. Kyle leaned against the wall. Alex sat in the chair at my desk, and Nash was pacing back and forth.
"Nash, what's the matter?" I asked.
"See, well... uh, Mia's been acting very weird..." Nash replied.
"I noticed it too. She tried getting me to date this man named Blake."
"That name sounds familiar, yet I can't pinpoint it right now..." Nash said with his hand over his mouth.
