..Lady Merlin..

Lily was walking home alone after school that day, when she heard her name being called behind her. "Lily! Lily! Wait up!" she turned around to see him chasing after her. She stopped and waited for him to catch up. She grinned at him in greeting.

"So, where are you going?" he asked her.

"Erm, to my convent/orphanage. They pray to some dude named Mithros and they were the only ones to take me in." she said.

"Really? I live there too!" he exclaimed.

"What? I've never seen you around there."

"That's because, my home, was burned--" he choked.

"Oh. It's ok. I understand. It's not a bad place, and I know how you feel. The same thing happened to me. My ma died of cancer and my dad died of a failed kidney. He drank. He drank to drown his pain. He put me in pain too."

"Oh, you must have been close."

"No. I mean, this." She said and pulled up her sleeve to expose still red scars with stitches.

"OH MITHROS!"

"…"

"Hey, I might as well as try to fit in, I mean, if Christians say Jesus Christ, then Mitherans must say Oh Mithros, right? But this is not the time. He really beat you up?"

"Yeah." She managed, and looked down, hiding her tears.

"Hey," he said and pulled her into a hug.

For thirty seconds, neither of them realised, then, they broke off awkwardly. Both of them blurted out at the same time, "sorry." They walked on in silence.

"Anyway, Lily, I though about what you said to me." Lily raised an eyebrow. "And I decided that you were right. I mean, what kind of friends push their friends around to do what they don't want to."

"Good for you. If I was a psychiatrist, I would tell you that you have had a breakthrough!" she said cheekily.

"Oh jolliness!" he murmured sarcastically.

She grinned. He noticed how beautiful she looked when she did that. "Hey, you know, you know my name, but I don't know yours."

"Oh yeah. I'm Carlos, Carlos Moonsword." (A/N: OOOHH! I just gave you lot a heart attack didn't I?" I was just kidding) Carlos Conte."

"Ooh, alliteration!" she said cheekily.

He grinned and flicked his hair out of his eyes pretending to be a model and strutted about a bit more. And made her laugh, for the first time in a long time. They soon reached the convent. Unknown to them, they were being made part of great plans.

Well, how was that? Cool? Hope so. REVIEW!
