"Village secrets"
Midnight Raven 666
Chapter 2
"The secret of the elders"
Lucius' eyes fluttered open to discover the bright morning light, which was quite blinding. He groaned as he slowly propped himself up and looked over to his side where Ivy lay, dead asleep.
"....like an angel" he whispered as he stroked her hair gently, making her move slightly and mumble indistinctly. He smiled watching her, then found himself wondering about the forbidden woods and the creatures. He frowned thinking of what she must have gone through for him and her being blind made it much worse. He then slowly laid back down and closed his eyes tightly, trying to block out the sunlight which seemed to be getting brighter and the thoughts that were racing through his mind, until finally falling into the arms of sleep once again, but suddenly he began to squirm and sweat. He groaned as he then sat up abruptly and looked around almost in a distressed manner.
"Ivy...?!" he whimpered still looking around the room, then suddenly fell backward in pain caused from his sudden movement.
Ivy had been sitting at the kitchen table explaining to Alice, why she had been found in bed with her son, when they had not even been wed yet, but Alice seemed to be so overjoyed that he had been up and talking, that she didn't seem to mind anyway. Ivy jumped slightly at hearing Lucius' anxious call for her.
"My boy is awake..." Alice cried in delight as she walked down the hall quickly, with Ivy following as fast as she possibly could.
Alice reached Lucius' room to find his eyes clenched shut in pain.
"Lucius! What's wrong, Lucius!?" Alice questioned frantically.
"Nothing Mother, Just....a bad dream, I will be fine...Where is Ivy?" he said opening his eyes as the pain began to subside.
"I am here, Lucius..." She said taping her cane on the hard wooden floor trying to find her way towards him.
"I'm so happy my boy is talking again..." Alice said as she bent down to kiss his forehead.
"Do not worry mother I am well." He smiled up to her.
Ivy made her way to the side of his bed, as Lucius grasped her hand quickly within his.
Alice smiled as she watched his petrified expression ease up, "Well, I shall be in the kitchen if either of you is in need of me, I'm going to start dinner."
Ivy just smiled.
"Alright goodbye mother..." he called to her as she nodded to them and walked out.
"Lucius, Fear was in your voice when you called upon me, what is wrong?" Ivy asked curiously.
"I... I dreamt of...you..." he said slowly, talking of it as if it were horrible.
"That is... bad?" she asked cutely.
"This time ...yes, I dreamt of harm coming to you...That is what I fear most of all things"
"You needn't worry Lucius, I am safe."
".....What of the question I asked you last night? How did you make it through the forbidden woods?"
"...Must you know?"
"Please tell me of what happened?"
"Alright, but I must make something very clear to you, you are to tell no others of the words I am about to speak to you..."
"...I will not. You may trust me, with whatever it may be."
"Yes, I know... Well, the creatures are....." She sighed.
"What? The creatures are what? You can tell me..."
"They are farce, a lie...They never existed...They were just a thing made up by the elders to keep us from entering the towns...And when being in the woods, I was attacked by one of the creatures and believing it to be real and being as scared as I was...I.....I... killed it..." Tears begin to weld up in her eyes.
"Ivy ......Honey... why do you cry? Is that not a good thing that you killed it?"
"...It was Noah...in a creature suit, I loathed him for hurting you...but I...would have never... killed him..." She choked out through her sobs.
Lucius sighed, bringing himself to sit up in his bed slowly, as he put his arms around her gradually pulling her towards himself until she was sitting next to him on the bed.
"...It's okay...It was not your fault." he soothed as he stroked her red hair, then planted a soft yet passionate kiss on her lips.
He pulled out of the kiss, which had seemed to last for an eternity. He looked at her tenderly, while wiping away the tears on her face. She smiled weakly at him ceasing to cry and putting her arms around him gently, avoiding his wounds, seeking his comfort. 'Of course we have kissed before' she thought, forgetting all about her misfortune, 'but he has never kissed me like that...'
Thank you so much, to all who reviewed my story. I am so glad everyone liked chapter one so much. So I decided to make haste and write chapter two. Hope it was good, please review. There is more to come.
Thanks,
