Chapter Two: The Ring
The next morning Aleeca woke up to the smell of cooked rabbit. At the smell of food Aleeca's eyes fluttered open and yawed.
"Hungry? Iven asked with a smile as he was taking and cutting the rabbit's meat into smaller pieces other then just a chunk of meat.
Aleeca nodded startled by this gesture. She moved the blankets off herself and quickly wrapped herself back in them.
"It's cold in here!" Aleeca announcing the obvious.
"Yes, I know its cold but come get your food, before it gets cold. It's not good cold you know." He gestured politely as he stuffed a piece of rabbit into his mouth.
Finally Aleeca slipped out of the blanket and snatched the food then quickly got back in the blankets.
Before Aleeca took a bite of rabbit she asked curiously "Why did you save me?"
"Aleeca, that question's answer you will find out soon enough."
"How do you know my name?" Her voice shock a little.
"That, my dear, would ruin the surprise, if I told you."
At this he put his metal plate down then realized Aleeca hadn't touched her food.
"I'm not going to bloody poison you. Eat, you need your strength." Iven was getting a little irritated.
Well at that Aleeca scarified the food down.
"I see someone has an appetite." A voice said maliciously as Aleeca had put her plate by the pile of clothing where Iven had put his empty platter Aleeca jump up startled by this new voice ripping the blankets off her then looked around for the place it came. Her face had an annoyed look on it when she heard Iven's laughter and laughed even harder when he saw her face.
Aleeca jumped in his face and yelled "That was not funny! Now stop laughing!"
Iven looked startled then fell into another fit of laughter again saying "You are just like your mother."
"My-My mother? How do you know my mother? Where is she? How is she?"
Iven rolled his eyes but Aleeca continued "It has been 8 years since I saw her last. I was only 6 when both my parents ran away. I guess they got tired of me."
'This is starting to get interesting' Iven thought as he shifted on the blankets and Aleeca on hers which she had went back to her pile of warm blankets.
"I lived on a farm but we weren't rich or anything, but we weren't poor ether. When I turned 6 my mother gave me this sapphire blue, ruby red, crystal clear diamond ring."
She took out the ring that had stayed hidden for 8 years and showed it to him.
"Then that same night they ran off….." Aleeca started to say before the ring busted into white, red, blue light.
Aleeca was knocked to the side of the cave by the strength of the rings power. Iven was startled by this but it didn't last long for in seconds he was scrambling up. He ran over to were the ring had flung her seven feet across the cave into the cave wall. Aleeca moaned as she pealed off the wall falling straight for the floor but then Iven caught her in his arms.
He grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled the up in a standing position then he asked shakily, "Are you all right?"
"Oh get off me, will you! I'm fine all right!" Aleeca announced angrily
"Are you sure?"
"YESSSSSS! Now leave me alone."
"All right, all right already. Don't get so snappy."
"Well then don't mess with me. I am not in the mood cause I don't think that some one who has just got their first flying lessen in to a cave wall by a small ring would be all happy and joyful." Aleeca obviously was grumpy.
Iven busted in laughter "I was right; you are like your mother."
"Why…. Oh never mind. You wouldn't tell me any way." Aleeca sarcastically announced.
"Well if you want to cool that temper of yours then go to the river beside the cave."
Iven picked up the clothes he had set out for her "Here take this with you."
Aleeca looked at the clothes and realized that close up that this set of clothes he had placed in her hands were meant for noble people, not homeless people how have to beg for food or steal just to live. Then she thought 'How dare he mock me with such riches…'
"Oh and here." He had walked over to her while she had been thinking, "take this. It's soap."
He placed it in her other hand and went back to got a piece of cloth. When he came back he came with a white towel and said "Here use this to dry you. Oh and don't bloody drowned" Iven said this and went into another one of his fits of laughter.
This made her madder and she stomped away to the river. 'How come I didn't notice it before?' she wondered. She stood there for a few minutes. It was a beautiful place it was like a place you would find yourself dreaming about. Finally Aleeca let the thought go that she was pondering about and went for a dive.
After Aleeca washed and got dressed she walked back to the cave. Iven was there dressed in noble clothes also. Iven was packing up the last bit of stuff which was the blankets.
Aleeca cleared her throat. Iven turned around to see not the dirty girl that he had saved but a girl with clean skin that shone like the moon. She was slim but not tiny. She had deep sea green eyes that could start to steam at any moment. No, this girl had a natural noble look. What gave her away was her hair; though it was wet it looked as if a rat lived there for many years.
"Um, Aleeca" He searched for a brush and took out it out, "you might need this." And handed the brush to Aleeca.
Aleeca looked startled "Alright"
So Aleeca was trying to brush her hair when Iven tiresomely announced "Stop. Stop. You're not brushing it right."
He walked back over to Aleeca after he made sure they had every thing and it all was secure.
"Here let me do it." Iven took the brush from her and brushed her hair
"Hey can you lighten up back there?" Aleeca just standing there with her arms folded across her chest.
Aleeca's hair was brushed to a silk shine.
"Aleeca, turn around….Please. Aleeca was being stubborn as she stood with her arms crossed, "So I can see you please…Oh bloody hell, come on it's almost noon we need to get going."
Aleeca shrugged her shoulders, at this Iven walked around to look at Aleeca's face; hair, dress, and posture to see what needed adjustments. When Iven got in front of her he looked up and frozen, rooted in the spot of stone that he stood on.
"Oh, will you say something! And stop looking at me that way! By the way you look like you have just seen a ghost." Aleeca said with annoyance in her voice.
Iven was astonished by her beauty, but he wouldn't let her know this. Finally Iven looked away but then he put two fingers in his mouth and a high pitch toned whistle. Out of all the odds a horse came in at an incredible speed. Aleeca was astonished at this beautiful white Arabian horse. This horse stopped right in front of Iven after he had turned his back on Aleeca. A moment later Iven wheeled around to see Aleeca behind him with her mouth hanging wide open.
"You should close your mouth before a fly flies in." Iven said amused at her astonishment.
Aleeca quickly shut her mouth and started to scale him. "Are you just going to stand their and look pretty or are you going to get over here and get on the horse?" Iven said getting irritated.
Before she could say anything Iven picked her up by the waist and set her on the horse as if she was nothing but a light feather. Iven jumped on behind her and they were off riding at an extreme speed deeper into the forest. Iven had put his arm around her waist so she wouldn't fall off while he had the rains in the other hand. About an hour or so later they stopped. Aleeca tried to slip down off of the horse, but Iven wouldn't allow it. Iven dismounted and lifted her down.
Aleeca, too impatient for the answer of the question she had asked back there in the cave that was supposed to came, asked whiningly "Oh, come on…."
"Shhhh."
Now Aleeca was angry as her thoughts steamed 'Why won't he answer me?'
Aleeca was so angry that she wasn't looking where she was going and tripped over a root and ripped her elegant dress.
'Dame!' She thought but as she had fallen to the ground people jumped out of behind trees and bordered us with their bodies.
