Fablehaven fan fic chapter three

Bracken took Kendra's hand and led her back down the aisle, everyone cheered. Kendra flung her bouquet behind her and everyone howled when Mara caught it and blushed furiously. When Seth caught the garter Bracken almost fell over from laughing so hard. It was a wonderful evening full of dancing and having fun with their friends, but Kendra felt preoccupied, she refused to meet Brackens eye, she did not want him to see how nervous she was about their coming night together. When it was midnight the guests were all gone and there was nothing left to do but go home to their new mansion in the woods. Bracken picked her up and carried her through the door uncharacteristically silent as he carried her through the dark quiet house. When they reached the bedroom he set her tenderly on the bed and looked her in the eye.

"Are you sure you're ready?" he murmured

"I have never been more ready for anything in my entire life" Kendra said smiling at his concern

Bracken smiled back and kissed her gently but with building passion and Kendra was lost in the sea of feeling

When Kendra woke up the next morning she was confused as to where she was until she felt strong arms wrapped around her middle. She relaxed into Bracken's embrace and felt him stir.

"Good morning, my love" he whispered huskily

She blushed as his voice brought back memories from last night

"Yes it is a good morning" She agreed

She wished she had not been so worried about being with Bracken, nothing had every made her feel so good or loved, and now she couldn't imagine living without him. She pulled the sheet up over her body, she felt a bit sore but nothing unmanageable. She and Bracken fit together like two pieces of a puzzle and she knew that he undoubtedly her soul mate.

Kendra got up and went to the shower to wash the sweat from her limbs and sooth her aching muscles. When she got out Bracken was just getting out of bed. She blushed slightly at seeing him, she thought that the feelings awkwardness at seeing him naked would abate after being so intimate but they had yet to cease. He grinned wolfishly at her red face and kissed her sweetly.

Kendra decided to go down stairs and make breakfast for her new husband. She and Bracken ate breakfast together and then he went to work on his swordsmanship. Kendra decided to go upstairs and wash their stained bedding. As she did she thought back fondly on their night together he had made her feel things she did not know existed and she had loved it. She shoved the sheets in the wash and put a spare set on the bed. Just then she heard a noise at the edge of the yard, she peered out the window and saw Bracken striding towards the woods. He emerged with Agad alongside. Kendra felt the flutter of anticipation in her stomach, there was only one thing he could have been here for. She went downstairs to meet them. She walked into the yard and Agad smiled at her

"Hello dear, I trust you slept well, because today you become immortal"

Bracken walked to Kendra and slung an arm across her waist and let her lean into him. He squeezed her waist gently, and kissed the top of her head.

Agad began to chant and Bracken suddenly moved away from Kendra and walked some distance off, he began to shine with a pearly inner radiance as Agad began to chant, after about a minute Kendra saw a long horn streaking through the trees towards them. Bracken cried out "To me" and the horn streaked to his hand. And suddenly in his place a huge 17 hand high silver stallion was rearing in his place. Long slim legs churned the air as he whinnied in triumph. The Gleaming horn was now attached to his forehead, in between two large expressive silver blue eyes. A bolt of magic struck the ground in front of Kendra and became a bouquet of flowers. She smiled and picked them up and Bracken trotted over to her, tossing his thick mane and looking rather full of himself.

Agad smiled at Kendra then began to chant again, and this time in a strange language that Kendra did not understand. She felt a strange tingling and all of the sudden a pain she doubled over and all of the sudden she had four legs, a small 18 inch horn lay on the ground in front of her, a first horn, all of the sudden she felt herself growing, and now the horn was 2 feet long and she was taller leggier, a second horn. And then she gasped and she felt herself even out become proportional, the horn was now nearly 3 feet in length and shed a pearly radiance it flew up and she felt it attach itself to her forehead, right about where Bracken's horn appeared to be. She gasped in shock and collapsed to her knees unable to support herself on four legs. She lay gasping her long silver legs curled up underneath her; suddenly Bracken was next to her kneeling in human form stroking her flank.

"It is okay Kendra, just calm down, think about being human, think about yourself and will yourself to return to it."

Kendra closed her eyes and concentrated gleaming softly she felt herself become smaller, when she opened her eyes she was human again, she smiled up at Bracken who smiled back at her. Agad appeared very pleased with himself, he had done well, he had fulfilled his promise to the two of them. Now they had to fulfill their promise to him in return.
