Chapter 4 Happy things

Pippin was near to begin crying. "I have forgot how wonderful real food can taste" he thought whit a happy smile. Plume looked at him.

"What are you smiling about little brother?".

" Nothing… nothing". Plume looked out from the window.

"I take a walk Pip, I must clean my mined".

"It's a little to late" Pippin mumbled.

"Hey Pip, I'm nineteen years old, I just take a little walk in the woods over here and come back in a few minutes". She stepped out from the house.

The night was very nice and warm. Over the sky stares begun to shine and the moon was full. "Its so nice here" she thought "all one seams so gently to etch other". She stopped. Near the spring a tall boy were sitting. His purple hair was in a long pony tail. He sat there end were looking on something.

"Hi". He raised his head when Plume talked to him.

"Who are you?" he asked whit a depressed sound in his voice.

"I'm Plume, Pippins older sister". He stopped look at here and continue looking on what it was on the ground.

"What's that?". She sat down beside him and looked at a green lizard.

"He's my only friend, I saved him when he was hurt and now he's my friend, his name is Jola".

"Hey, that's a really nice name you know". He looked at here whit confused eyes.

"You know" he said "your not at all like Pippin".

"We haven't grown up together… by the way, who are you?".

"I'm Raven, I live down on the farm over there". He pointed to Vestas farm. Plume thought about what Pip had tolled here about Raven. "But what do Pip know about people?" she thought.

"Are you always here Raven?".

"Yes, I got a lot of free time to spend whit Jola, we are more like brother than man to lizard… and I look at the spring". Jola run away and Raven begun to look at the small spring in front of them.

"This is still asleep you know… it must have a lot to wake up".

"Hey" Plume laughed "A spring can't sleep".

"Did you come here to tell me how things is?".

"No… I'm sorry, it wasn't my meaning to be so mean to you". He smiled a gently smile.

"Its nothing to shame about… I have done quiet stupid things myself… and by the way, you are the only one who listen to me so far". She lied down on the ground.

"Alright, tell me more about the spring, I want to know and then I can believe you".

"A spring need a lot of good things, first the trees must grow nicely, second: the flowers must be shiny of happiness, third: the people who visits the spring must be full whit happy thoughts".

"Hey, this reminds me of a story, Peter Pan, happy thoughts".
"Sounds stupid, right?".

"No, you are like a poet". He's face become red.

"You make me embarrassed" he mumbled "stop saying things like that".

"Sorry". They got silent and just looked at the sleeping spring. Plume closed her eyes for a few seconds. She was near to fall asleep there, but someone's breath disturbed her sleep. Slowly she opened here amber eyes and saw Raven whit his arm over her and his face near her.

"What are you doing?" she asked silent.

"You looked so whit in your face, I was afraid that you was ill, I was worried about your health, you don't look so healthy".

"I feel fine thanks".

"Good". He helped her up. If it was destiny or just a bad place to put the foot on, but she slipped of the place where she put her foot and next second she were lain in Ravens arms. She blushed and mumbled that it wasn't her meaning.

"You just got bad luck".

"Aha…". His face was so near her and his gently breath was caresses her face.

"Hey Stupid, let her go!". Raven drooped her from his arms when Rocks voice come trough the air. Plume looked at him whit confused eyes. Rock laid his arm around Plumes neck.

"Don't worry" he said "he's not going to hurt you any more". Raven looked really sad.

"Stop it Rock". Plume tried to get from his arm, but he didn't listen to her.

"She asked you to let her go" Raven said whit his depressed voice.

"I heard what she said, I'm not deaf you know, get out of here before I hurt you!". Ravens face become read and he was really angry Plume noticed.

"Let me go Rock!". She hit Rock in the face and he let her go whit a confused look on his face. She didn't stop, she begun run away from both of them.

"Plume!". She didn't stop when Raven called her name.

She didn't stop until she was outside the door to the house. She looked at it. "I can't step in here and tell Pip that I got in trouble already" she thought whit a silent wind in her neck.

Oh, are you out this late. Takakuras voice behind her.

Your look like your got in trouble, have anything happened to you Plume?

No… not really… not at all… I'm just…

Taking a little air?

Yeah, that's right, I'm taking some air.

So, you should go in, Pippin is probably worried about you.

Alright, thanks for the talk pause, I'm better go in now.

Yes, that's right, and don't get into trouble whit Rock, he seems so nice… but he isn't that nice you know.

Pip said that too, I just want to make some new friends.

And its nothing wrong whit that, but you should not judge people before you know them I say, Raven is not a bad guy, that could I promise you.

Thanks Takakura, it's a relief to hear. She stepped inside.
