~CHAPTER 7~

A Happy Ending

Delilah's POV

She went inside and shut the door behind her as silently as possible, trying not to wake up anyone. How worried they must have been. She was rarely ever late and even if she was, she would always find a way to inform them first. Oh, look at me. I look terrible. Thank God no one is here to see me like that. I better get changed before I catch a cold. That's the last thing I want now. she thought and headed to her room to change and finally get some rest but something stopped her.

"Finally you're back! I was starting to get worried you know. Did something happen?" she heard Taylor's voice but couldn't see her in the complete darkness of the room, so she lit a candle to lighten up the place.

"Hello to you too." she said ironically and continued "I'm sorry I was late. I'd love to explain what happened but it's a long conversation and I'm really tired. But how come you're awake? I thought you'd be long asleep by now. Something wrong?" she asked and joined Taylor by sitting on a chair next to where she was sitting, with a concerned look on her face.

"Our idiot brother also came home late and somehow managed to wake me up. And then I just couldn't fall asleep again once I noticed you were not here. I was concerned."

"Oh…I'm so sorry. Come on, let's go to sleep and I promise I will explain everything with every single detail first thing in the morning." She said and smiled to her, offering a hand to lift her from her chair. And with that, they went to sleep.

The next morning, Delilah was the first to wake up as usually. Like always, she went on to make breakfast immediately. She had hardly gotten any good sleep all night but still she felt full of energy. She hadn't stopped thinking about him and their kiss…and the things he had said to her…He was in love with her. That thought made her heart race every time.

She had never felt this way before, never having met a love in her entire life. How could she? She used to live in a tiny village and even though magic was not banned, it was not seen as something acceptable. Her family's powers always kept people away, preventing her and her siblings from forming any kind of relationship or even friendship with anyone there. They only had each other. But in Camelot, things were different. It was true that they had to hide their abilities, but at least there they had finally had the chance to make friends and live a normal life. As normal as it could be at least. And now this. Her life had finally started to come together and she just couldn't believe it. She had someone who really cared for her and together they could build a future. She couldn't help herself and started imagining how life would be if she had a family with him. How happy he would make her. But her daydreaming was interrupted by Taylor.

"Morning, Lilah. Oh, I see you already made breakfast. Great, I'm starving." She yawned and sat on the table.

"Good morning. Wait. Why did you get up so early? I usually have to drag you out of her bed to wake you up. What's changed?" she asked and laughed.

"To be honest, I don't know. Lately there's something wrong with me. I can't sleep well, I can't stop thinking about…" she stopped suddenly and looked down at her plate, not saying another word.

Delilah smiled. She knew who her sister was talking about. "About…?" she said and looked at her trying to get her to continue.

"Work. That's what I wanted to say. Work. I can't stop thinking about work." She answered and kept looking away, trying to cover her lie.

"Of course that was it." Delilah said ironically and continued "It certainly was not Percival or something like that."

"I don't know what you're talking about. And don't try to open a conversation about me! You still owe me an explanation about yesterday. What happened? Why were you late and why did Leon bring you home?" she said and quickly changed the subject back to Delilah.

"Alright, alright. I'll tell you everything. " Delilah joined her sister at the table and started going through everything that had happened the previous night with as much detail as she could. When she was done, Taylor just stood there, staring at her speechless and smiling.

"Oh, Lilah! I'm so happy for you! Leon is a terrific man and I'm sure she'll make you happy like you deserve to be. And he better make you happy because otherwise he'll have to deal with me." She said enthusiastically and embraced her sister. They were both smiling but then suddenly Delilah's smile faded and she seemed worried. "What's wrong? I thought you were happy about what happened." She asked her while she was holding in her arms.

"What about…I mean…What about the fact that he's noble?"

"What about that?" Taylor asked, eager to help her sister.

"Won't that stand in the way? He might say he doesn't care about that now but one day he might realize just how much of a problem it really is. What will happen then?" she whimpered and her eyes started to water.

"Oh sweetheart…don't worry about that. I don't believe Leon cares about these things. After all, he proved it to you yesterday. And if things ever get hard, that's when his love will be tested. If he wants you as much as he says he does, he will keep you no matter the difficulties he might face. And you'll get your happy ending! I can promise you that much." She assured her and smiled.

"I'll get my happy ending? You promise?" she asked like a little child, with tears in her eyes.

"I promise." She assured her again and embraced her even tighter. Everything was going to be fine. She would finally get her happy ending.

Hi guys! I'm sorry I didn't upload earlier or as much as I said I would but my computer overheated and the files I was working on closed before I could save them so I had to rewrite them! Well, at least I made some improvements I think. I hope you liked it. I might upload another one today. I'm continuing with Leon & Delilah and switching in the next chapter. I decided not to have the girls have powers so it won't become really complicated. But I still can change it, so if you think I should add it, feel free to tell me! Thanx! Kisses! ~xoxo~
