Chapter 10: Fools game
Will's hand gripped Claira's tightly as he pulled her out the room. She didn't mind when he pulled her like this, in a bizarre way it made her feel safe. They hurried through the dark stone halls and up some rather steep steps. William's loose fit shirt flapped in the passing wind, Claira followed him close squeezing his hand for security and keeping her dress up with the other. They stopped in front of a large wooden door where Will proceeded to catch his breath. He stood staring at the metal handle a good three minutes before turning his piercing blue eyes to Claira. She on the other hand hadn't looked away from him since they stopped their mad dash through the palace. She had taken in his pale countenance and worried expression, wondering what could possibly be on his mind. He swallowed hard before starting to speak.
'You really shouldn't overwork yourself. You've just recovered.'
'I had to show you this'
'What?'
William held out his hand to Claira. She took it without hesitation and followed him into the mysterious room. It was dark at first, and the only thing Claira could make out was a faint stream of moonlight peaking through the curtains. The room smelled of fresh flowers and perfume, the thick sweetness made you take two breaths at first. Soon a lamp was lit and Claira followed her gaze to Will who had just taken a match to a lamp near the other side of the room. She then noticed they weren't the only two people in this place, an elderly woman lie asleep in a nearby bed. She glanced at Will for an explanation.
'Claira, this is my mother; Victoria Watsworth.'
Claira took a few steps closer to get a better look at William's mother. She noticed the peaceful look on her face, almost as if it were put there purposely.
'Is she in pain?'
'No, she's in a deep sleep. The only way to cure it is my marrying Rebecca.'
There was a prolonged silence when she heard this. She knew how important family was.
'I know if I could do something to bring my parents back, I would.'
'Then you approve?'
'As much as I can' Claira said biting her lip. She couldn't help but wince when she heard that last statement. It was just another reminder of the soon he was to be married.
'That is why I must go home'
Claira turned and left a speechless William. He chased after but there was no stopping her. She walked into her room and dug through her armoire for her suitcase. She started piling dressed in the bag when she realized William's presence in the room. She turned to him and relaxed a bit.
'You can't leave Claira, not now.'
'Then when do you suppose I leave William? Before or after your honeymoon? I don't want to be a hindrance in healing your mother, I know first hand how it is to be alone. I can't let you go through what I went through.'
William ran his fingers through his thick brown locks staring at the floor. For a moment Claira considered changing her mind and staying with him, but soon he would be a married man and there could be no good in that for her. She sat on the bed and played with the fringe on one of her newly bought dresses.
'It's sad really, after all this I realize how I feel about you. And there's nothing I can do about it'
Claira's words floated through the air and hit William with a strong force. She didn't dare raise her eyes to meet his in fear of what she might find. She bit her lip trying to forget what she had just said.
'I'm sorry your choosing to leave, you'll be missed' And with that William was gone. He left the room so swiftly Claira felt her eyes tear up. Her worst fears were confirmed, William had treated her leaving with indifference, and after she had nearly confessed her love for him. She was hoping for more, a hug or handshake. Something to remember later in life, but she was left alone with her dressed still in clenched in her hands. She tried to keep the tears from coming but the burning sensation won that battle. She buried her face in her pillows sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't see the bright yellow light hovering outside her window.
(The study)
Jonathan was standing in front of raving Rebecca. She threw a few books across the room screaming how furious she was. Then the bright yellow light that lingered outside of Claira's room just moments before landed on her shoulder. As the light died down it was easy to see Rose's tiny features.
'She's leaving'
'What?'
'Claira is leaving Vinunderlig'
'Good job Rose, you're the only one that has kept their word'
'And what is that supposed to mean?' Jonathan fumed.
'It means why send a man to do a woman's job?' Rebecca growled pushing Jonathan away with mere sight. Jonathan stormed out the room a little angrier than before. He ran to his room and locked the door.
Rebecca looked thoughtfully around the dark study. Rose had taken a seat on the desk and was watching Rebecca cautiously.
'We have a little more playing to do my dear'
'What do you have in mind?'
'Something to do with one more tiny push toward Jonathan.'
Rose grinned evilly and her glow turned a bright pink.
'Does it have to do with his mysterious girl in white?'
(That's in the beginning of the story if your confused)
'Yes, the fool still believes he's in love with that little mirage I cooked up'
'Will it involve Claira?'
'Of course, for what is good play without the star?'
Hope you guys liked it, I'm writing more tomorrow but it won't be posted very soon, lack of internet. The mystery is starting to unfold... love them reviewers!! -pinksneaker85
