Poke, poke Please review!
Erik's POV
After what felt like several hours, though it had probably only been thirty minutes or so, I finally pulled myself together enough to
actually survay my surroundings. THe little cavern was beautiful, and the waterfall to our right was refracting light and creating several
little rainbows. THere were crystals in here too, though of a light pinkish-red shade that was either pink amythist, or very light rubies.
The mattress we were on showed signs of heavy use. Now, Christine had either knicked it from the theater, was here often, or both.
The blankets were in virtually the same condition. Still in good shape with very distinct evidence that they were used often. (A/n: The
cavern in the waterfall has a few rock shields so the bed doesn't get soaked :) )
I looked down at Christines and sighed regretfully. If we didn't get back soon, God only knew what would happen. I debated letting
Her sleep for a while longer, but decided we should probably get back now. And now we come to the bigger problem.
Chris is probably the heaviest sleeper in the world, and waking her up without getting a mess of bruises was hard. I sighed, and started shaking her gently.
When she didn't stir, I breathed her name, simultaeously shaking her.
"Christine, I need you to get up" I said, a little louder. "Christine?" I saw her smile before she had time to hide it. -Okay- I thought.
-If she wants to play, I'll play.- With that thought in mind, I quickly got up, walked to the waterfall, wet my hands in the icy water, and splashed the drops all over her. As expected, she squealed. Unexpected was that she got up and pushed me to the edge of the cavern, soaking me. Even
more unexpected was that immediatly after that, she dove into the pool at the bottom of the waterfall.
After she had surfaced, I called to her, "As appealing as spending the rest of eternity here is, we must be gettng back. God only knows what that
damn Daroga and you're insane family is doing." I added with a growl. She pouted, she complained, and eventually, she gave in, though not before snapping,
"You expect me to take you seriously when you are standing there stark ravng naked?"
I had forgotten that I had negected to dress, nevertheless, I got into the pool, dragged Christine out of it, and took her back to her room. The
place was apparently empty though, so I was less... attentive of my surroundings as I should have been. When we stepped into her room, me naked, and her
covered in my cloak, which had been the only dry item left to put one, her mother jumped off the bed. Chris promptly started screaming at her. She dropped
my cloak, clearly revealing that she was just as naked as I was. This sent her mother into hysterics.
I didn't think things could get any worse... I was wrong. Nadir burst into the room, with Antoinette right on his heels. Both stopped dead upon
enterng. Nadir was surveying the room with a shocked look on his face, and I thought Antoinette was going to faint. christine's face was dead white, and
Chris's face was the approximate color of a ripe cherry. I glanced in a mirror and discovered that I was in virtually the same condition as Chris.
For several moments, no one said anything, just stared at one another. There was no question of what had happened; the fact that we were both
completely soaked, naked, and blushing to the roots of our hair was evidence enough of that.
The silence was broken by a cane flying through the air and colliding with the back of my head. I fought stars for several moments, then, after my
head had cleared, I turned to see Nadir holding Antoinettes cane, and Istepped back as he began to raise it again. Chris had jumped at the sound of the
cane hitting me origionally, and she winced. I wasn't certain why, it was getting harder to think. The last thing I remember was Chris's scream.
"Christ..." Then darkness completely overcame me.
good, bad, in between? Please review, will try to have the next chapter up today or tomorrow. Thanks to all my readers and in the nexttwo chapters, more people should be introduced.
