A/n: Well,another chapter for Pearl. Lost but not Forgotten should be getting an update soon,as well as Plunge. Yay! ^.^
I was already bored to tears waiting on something interesting to happen down at the town depot when Franklin noticed the usual hustle and bustle of the place die into a freakish silence. Almost everyone stared toward the ticket booth,where a slightly frustrated voice was calmly saying,"Please,sir,I only need a two way ticket to Boscherville. It can't be that hard to find!" Daniel's eyes widened as he jabbed his elbow into my ribs,"El..lookie who it is! It's Scarface!" I growled and slapped him rather harder than I'd meant to,"Shut up or you'll get us noticed. Watch the little wench and see what happens." I paused then grinned and whispered to Franklin,"Go get my older brother,Evan,and tell him to steal a few good horses and a carriage. I think I'm gonna have some fun tonight.."
Daniel followed Franklin off like a lost puppy,as he always did,leaving me to admire that gorgeous midnight blue clad body. My eyes roamed every curved I could see until I began to feel that all-too familiar tingle in my lower body. Quickly I diverted my attention to the hag in the corner. That helped. Could anyone have been that horrible looking and have a lover? Apparently they could marry! The next moment I recognized her as Madame Lipote,my...friend's..mother. I certainly had time to kill,so I walked to her and dropped a knee,my red curls dropping in front of my blue-green eyes,"Madame Lipote,it's been so long since I saw you. You're stunning,even more so than usual. Would Charles get angry with me for such a complement?" Oh I was good. I was damn good.. I could make any woman swoon.
"Elliot?"She asked,raising a brow. When I raised my head she smiled and pulled me into an embrace like the son she'd always treated me. "I hoped it was you. What a handsome young man you are now!" She exclaimed,standing to look me over. I absently wondered if women ever got tired of eyeing my perfected body. "Well..we all grow up,I suppose." I said modestly,making myself blush. I'd always been an expert at that.
"Did you know that Pearl is here? She's looking for a ride to some place called Boscherville. Evan,Daniel and Franklin have gone to get..our..carriage." I saw her expression change as the mention of the diseased bitch. "You're....helping Pearl Barye?" She asked,seeming to be searching for evidence of my loyalty to she and Jeanette. Jeanette was the most lucious woman I'd ever laid eyes on,and I planned on laying more than that sometime very soon. "Not helping so much as keeping Charles from hunting me down. You understand that,of course?" I answered coolly. She nodded then stepped from me hurriedly,her head turned away from me,as Pearl started toward us. It had been 11 years since I'd been within arm's length of her,I'd been too young to do anything to really hurt her. This time would be much different. I'd be alone with her,in a moving carriage..I could do as I wished to her.
"Mademoiselle,excuse me!" I called to her,she turned and blinked at me. "Did I overhear yoou were looking for a ride to Boscherville?" I smiled at her,confident she wouldn't recognize me. Up close her body was more ravishing than I'd though,and her eyes stunned even me. "Yes,Monseiur.."She answered politely with the slightest hint of annoyance in her voice. Oh what a voice,I felt that god forsaken tingling again,but I didn't bother to divert my vision.
"Well my friends and I have another seat,and we can easily take you there. We'd be more than happy for the company of such a beautiful young woman." I couldn't help it,I had to glance back at Madame Lipote before things got out of control. That helped more than it had the first time. Dear God,how could you make someone that hideious?
Evan walked to me and tapped my shoulder. He was slightly taller than me,and a bit heavier built,with brown eyes and blonde curls that slid down to his shoulders. More women chased him than he chased,unlike myself,of course.........that hardly bothered me. When Evan saw Pearl he stared. He rarely did as such,but she blushed crimson from the gaze and looked away. He'd heard about her,but I suppose the reality was too much for him as I saw him copy my quick gaze to Annette.
Daniel and Franklin joined us after a moment,both looking rather forlorn. I really didn't care why. The four of us,acting as if we were gentlemen giving her a free ride,gathered her bags and carried them to the carriage my friends and brother had managed to steal,along with four black horses. I noticed Pearl's arm had a cast that could be used as a weapon as I helped her inside. Evan decided to drive,and Franklin and Daniel climbed on top to talk in private. I was alone with her,just as I'd wanted...things couldn't be better.
We were well out of Paris before Pearl realized who we were. Heh,the stupid bitch didn't have a chance.
