Chapter 10
Saving an Angel and the funeral
Hey guys! So sorry that it has been taking me forever to update!! School and everything has been getting in the way!! UH!! School is evil!! So sorry but I'm trying to update as soon as possible!! Enjoy the chapter!! I do not and I repeat I do not own SH or any of the characters other then SELENA!!
Selena and Katrina sat in the tree listening to Ichabod and the men discuss what could have happened to Jonathan Masbath. They sat their quietly their gowns flowing beneath them as a fog had slowly risen. They could feel the coldness of the day start to take over. All of a sudden Selena began standing up slowly holding on to another branch trying to get closer.
Katrina began whispering to her to stop what she was doing, "Selena stop!! If you get any closer they'll see you or you'll get hurt!!", panicking. "Calm yourself Katrina I'm only getting a little closer so don't worry", but she had spoken to soon the branch had began to crack but Selena didn't notice. Katrina did however. "Ummm...Selena...", but she was shushed by Selena. "Be quite Katrina or they'll find us".
"But Selena the branch.......", but it was too late before the sisters knew what was going on the branch that Selena was on had broken and she had fallen. She didn't scream only held her eyes shut tightly waiting for the impact of the ground. But there was no impact. She felt herself being held. She tighten her arms around the neck of her rescuer as she breathed deeply into their neck.
"Wait! I know that scent", as realization had taken over her. Looking up she had found herself once again lost in deep chocolate eyes. "Ichabod......?", she whispered quietly that barley even Ichabod heard her.
Ichabod was in shock for once again he was somehow in an embrace with the eldest Van Tassel. She was light even with the dress on and he simply held her as she whispered his name feeling a warmth grow at the pit of his stomach hearing his name on her warm pink lips.
How he would have liked to kiss them. To feel them upon his, to hold her, to smell her, to make her his forever. "What are you doing?!? How can you be having such despicable thoughts of this innocent woman". Before he had time to scowl himself even more he put her down but immediately he was pushed away quite roughly from the rest of the men as they surrounded her asking her worried if she was alright.
Baltus put his cloak around her as if to keep her warm yet she was fine. She looked to fine Ichabod but he was no where insight. Sighing to herself she looked up to the tree to find Katrina climbing back down it. Winking at Selena she put her acting skills to work.
Moaning quite loudly she dragged her one leg as she made it through the bushes, she put a hand to her forehead acting like a maiden in distress. Immediately a few men surrounded her asking her what happen explaining how she and her sister had been separated and how she was attacked by wild raccoon (LMFAO!! I had to do it. Men at pretty stupid. They will believe anything as long as it's a gorgeous woman saying it)
Baltus worried rushed over to his daughter, holding her he sighed. "My two daughters how horrible this day has been. You my dears must get your rest for there shall be another funeral", as he pointed over to the body where Ichabod stood by it but right now the body was far from his mind. More of the fact that not more then 4 minutes ago one of the most beautiful women he had ever met had been in his arms.
The town had gathered later that afternoon for Jonathan Masbath's burial. Steenwych stood there reading from the bible, "Be sober, be vigilant... " as it sayeth in the book of Peter, chapter five, verse eight -- "because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour... "
Selena and Katrina stood besides each other crying as Brom tried to put his arm around Selena but every time he tried she was move herself away from him. Soon afterwards the funeral was finished and people began leaving the cemetery to return to their homes. Katrina had already left with her family, as Selena had walked over to young Masbath Jonathan Masbath's son bended down to reach his eye level and kissed him on his forehead as she whispered into to ear while she sneaked a peek at Ichabod who was watching them curiously.
She left hugging Masbath as Ichabod stared at her leaving black form giving her a angel of darkness look as a fog began to roll over yet again. Ichabod turned and began to leave until he heard his voice being called, "Mister Constable, Sir....", turning around to see the young 12 year old boy in front of him. "You are young Masbath...?"
"I was young Masbath, but now the only one. Masbath at your service sir in honor to bound to avenge my father", nodding seriously as he wiped his dirty green jacket. "Well, one-and-only Masbath, I thank you but your mother will need you more them I".
"My mother is in heaven, sir, and has my father to care for her now. But you have no one to serve you and I am your man sir", feeling somewhat desperate. "And a brave on at that but I cannot be the one to look after you. I am sorry for you lost young Mister Masbath", turning around to leave the cemetery.
But he was stopped by Philips, "Constable.......", hesitantly not sure how to say what Philips wanted to say. "Something you should know, Jonathan Masbath was not the fourth victim but them fifth", as he rubbed his sweaty forehead with his cubby fingers. "The fifth?", arching a brow. "Five victims four graves".
"But who....?" before Ichabod could ask Steenwych had given Philips a glaring look in which Philips had left Ichabod standing there confused. Looking at the four gravestones he pondered. He nodded towards Mr. Killian, "I will need the help you offered". He turned to Young Masbath, "Find a place in the Van Tassel Servant quarter. Wake me before dawn. I hope you have a strong stomach", turning away leaving.
Unnoticed to Ichabod Selena had hid and smiled as she saw Ichabod walking away. She turned towards Young Masbath as she winked at him. He smiled feeling for the first time that day his heart melt over with happiness.
