Chapter 3: The Dancing Dove
Mistress cooper looked sadly, as Rayne finished her tale, to her son.
"Oh my child. You have had a rough experience, yes indeed." She said taking her hands "How old are ye now?"
"I'll be thirteen three days after Imbolic." Rayne said looking at her hands that were covered in Mistress Cooper's dry ones.
"That's only a week away." George said and she looked out the window away from him.
"How would ye like to stay here? If your guard friend wouldn't mind." Mistress Cooper asked looking at the young girl hopeful
"Speaking of 'im, where is he? Shouldn't he 'ave been with ye when I found ye?" George asked looking at his mother
"Nathaniel's passed on. He died protecting me from bandits." Rayne looked at George, her eyes were a cloudy blue now. She was struggling to keep the tears away.
"So how long ye been by yerself?" George asked trying to figure her out
"Five years." Rayne replied, his eyes locking with hers.
"Then that's it. Yer stayin' with us." Mistress Cooper said standing up. "George, you take the lass to the Dancin' Dove. I'll red up her new room. It'll be the one down 'ere, but you'll have a roof over yer head."
George stood with the two girls and waited as Rayne hugged his Mother. He took her outside and she threw her hand around his neck, hugging him tightly. His hazel eyes gleamed down at her as he stole a kiss from her. Rayne pulled back slightly and looked at him, then she smiled. She stood on tip-toe and stole a kiss from him and ran off. He chased after her and they proceeded to the Dancing Dove.
