A.N.: I'm writing this because the section was started a long time ago, but I just never had any ideas. So I'm writing this. It's all in Clare's POV at least I think it will be. Depends on where this story will go.
Everything and Anything
Starting Point
Mark and I were in town doing spending some time together before we saw his friends in the window of the teashop. We went inside to say hello when I saw some visitors sitting at the other end of the tiny shop. Mark leaned over and whispered in my ear, "What's wrong, Rosie?"
I shook my head and turned back to him and gave him a small smile to tell him that everything was fine and that there was nothing for him to worry about.
Anyway, my name is Clare Rosamond Kenward Meredith Winters. My husband's name is Mark Winters. We both happen to be the next Guardians. What is a Guardian? A Guardian is person who protects the Benison. Our mothers were half sisters and had recently started to get along again after a scandal years ago.
Mark had his arm around my waist and I was leaning into him while laughing at a joke that one of Mark's friends, Pete Anscomb, had just said. The strangers walked over to us and up close I could see that one was a pretty girl while the other was a businessman looking guy. The girl leaned forward slightly and said, "Excuse me, can we ask you a question?"
Mark looked at them strangely, "Apart from that one you mean?"
She nodded and said, "My name is Sara and this is Adrian. And we were wondering if any of you knew Clare Meredith."
Mark stiffened and held me tighter to him. Tighter to the point were I said ouch. Everyone else was laughing and Pete decided to say, "There's no Clare Meredith living here."
They both looked disappointed and I felt bad for them I mean they were looking for me. I hit Pete over the head and said, "Stop it you idiot." I stretched out my arm and said, "It's good to see you again."
I shook hands with the both of them and Sara said, "Clare, is that really you?"
I nodded and took a sip of the coffee in front of me. Mark leaned into me and said, "Rosie, aren't you forgetting something?"
I looked at him strangely before I caught on, "Oh right, introductions. Everyone, this is Sara and Adrian. You guys," I pointed around to everyone saying their names until I got to Mark when I hesitated and said, "And this is Mark Winters."
Adrian nodded around the table but stopped at Mark and noticed his arm around me. "Claire, what's going on?"
I didn't look at them. I looked at Mark and said, "You ready to go?"
He looked into my eyes and nodded slowly. "We'll see you guys later." He nodded to his friends and then turned around and said, "It was nice to meet both of you."
"Clare-"
"You guys should go back to London. You don't belong here."
A.N.: So how was the first chapter? As I said, I'm really only writing this to get this section up. I'll see how far this story goes and I do have other stories that I might do more than this, so don't feel offended if I don't update for a while. And I'm American, so getting all the lingo is pretty impossible for me, sorry.
