Fairytale Wedding

Part 4

Kit could barley make out the sign Welcome to Summer Bay as she drove past. She sighed nervously, in a few minutes she'd be at the palace. She could only hope that Noah would be at home, otherwise how else was she going to explain herself to everyone, they were going to want to know why she was on their doorstep at half past three in the morning just hours before her wedding.

She hopped out of the car, the early morning chill hitting her skin, leaving the car door open for some light so she could see, she made her way across the lawn to the front door. She kneeled down and with all her strength lifted up the swan sitting on the front porch, where Noah had insisted putting a spare key incase one of them accidentally got locked out.

She felt guilty, but it wasn't as if she were breaking in. Besides it was better to just go in and wake Noah instead of waking up the whole house.

The front door creaked open and somewhere upstairs a 12-year-old girl sat up in bed.

Noah stood frozen for a few minutes, all the while the alarm still going off. He swore under his breath not believing what he'd just gotten himself into, he covered his ears. Not even Kit could sleep through this. Noah panicked as he saw a light coming from the house next door. The person he had woken, if not the whole neighborhood were likely to call the police, he had to get out of there and fast.

Rachael held her bed covers tight to her chest. Straining to hear something, anything to confirm her suspicions of someone being down stairs. She had heard the front door creak loudly, and the front door only creaked that loud on being open, she shivered and snuggled down into her bed a little. After of a couple minutes she sighed and closed her eyes, it was to early for her Dad to be up and going for his morning jog, so the only other logical explanation was she had been dreaming, besides, no house in Summer Bay ever gotten broken into. Just as she was falling back asleep she heard footsteps coming up the stairs, she opened her eyes and looked at the clock 3: 47 am. She pulled the covers over her head. Something was definitely up.

Kit fumbled blindly through the house, straining her eyes to see as much as she possibly could to get to Noah's room. She bit back a yell as she stubbed the same toe she had stubbed a few moments ago. If she kept this up it would swell and the last thing she needed was to be limping down the aisle.

Now if she remembered correctly his room was the second on the left, ah ha, bingo.

She opened his door and quietly crept into his room

"Noah" She whispered creeping over to the bed "Noah".

She heard a dog's bark and then a sneeze

"Noah it's me"

She reached out and pulled back the cover

"AAAHHHHH"

"AAAAHHHH"

Kit Jumped back as a lamp was turned on, this wasn't Noah's room, hazel eyes met her own and this certainly wasn't Noah.

The young girl held her hand to her chest "You scared me" she stated accusingly

Kit regained her breath "Well you scared me too" she replied

Before anything else could be said between the two, Jesse ran in with a baseball bat in towe, his eyes wild, with a frightened Hayley cowering behind him

"Right what's going on here"? He called out " Rachael are you ok?"

Rachael giggled at the brunette's expression "Maybe you should turn around"

She bit back a groan as she turned around; this hadn't gone anywhere near as she had planned.

Jesse's eyes widened

As Hayley pushed him aside and entered the pink bedroom

"Kit" she squealed rushing over and wrapping her arms around the stunned girl after a moment she pulled back, a grin plastered on her tired face "What are you doing here"?

"Yeah and what's the deal with breaking into our house and giving us the scare of our lives"? Added a cranky Jesse

"Jess" Hayley admonished. She looked Kit over and held back a laugh. She knew what was going on here.

"This isn't Noah's room anymore and no his not here, his in the city visiting you, well he would be if you were there"

This time Kit couldn't help but let out a groan of frustration.

Hayley took her by the arm "Come on lets have a cuppa and have a nice talk"

Kit groaned again as Hayley gave her I won't take no for an answer look.

She followed Hayley out of the room, past a still annoyed Jesse and down the stairs, all the while trying to think up an explanation to give the couple. She couldn't help but be angry with Noah, if he had been here and been in the room his was supposed to be in, she wouldn't be in this mess.

Well not really, she had gotten herself into the whole mess of her upcoming marriage, she smiled but still it felt good to blame somebody else.
