What if…

Chappter 2: where's this place?

-Did you sleep well, commander? - LaSalle asked

-Ah...I… - Oscar sat up

-Of course she did! – Alain gave him a slap on his back – she already found a place she want to sleep! – he said when the others were guffawing

-Ok!-she got on her horse – let's go, we need to get back as soon as possible! – and she rode the horse like she didn't care if her men go after her or not… actually, she couldn't let them see her face, now was as red as Andre's face…she heard the men was…hmm, interrogating André…

"what did both of you do last night?"-"come on, tell us!"-"did you kissed?"-"or do something better?"-"hey, don't be like that! Come on Andre!"

What should she do? Save him? No, just ignore that…but, this was her fault, right? Cause she slept too deep, and maybe she fell, and, hmm maybe…laid her head on his thighs…or…or maybe he put her heard on his thighs? Oscar shake her head, ok, "you're out of your mind now Oscar!" she thought…but what if he really did that? So? What's wrong anyway? He just want to give her a nice sleep…nice and comfortable… "stop thinking like that, Oscar!" now she stopped the horse…

-Commander?

-I think we found the exit…

Yes, they did. But that wasn't where they wanted to go…

-Where's this place?-Andre asked, at last he can escaped his dangerous situation…

-…not Paris, I guess…-Alain replied

That looked like a small village, with a small stream flowed between the oaks…and a young girl was standing near the stream…

-well, at least we have someone to ask…-Oscar said, and she got off the horse-bonjour mademoiselle…

-oh, bonjour mousier…- the girl raised her face, well, she had a lovely face…

-could you tell me where's this place?

-this's villagge Chabrignac,

-Is it far from Paris?

-well, at about 500km from Paris…

-500km?- all the French guard stared, they needed only one day to get here and they had gone for 500km? How could that be?

-are you sure miss?-André asked, now he was standing beside Oscar

-yes, I am.-the girl blush-and you are lucky, mousier, tomorrow my father will go to Paris, you can go with him…

-tomorrow? That mean we have to stay here another day?-Oscar said, and she confused, should she ask her show them the way, and they go by themselves?

-tomorrow will be fine, commander!-Alain said

-but…

-we don't want to get lost again, do we?

-ok, so you all want to stay here?-Oscar asked all the French guard, they looked at each other, but Alain gave them a sign, and they all said

-yes, commander!

-well, miss, do you know some where for us to stay?

-oh, you can all stay at my house…-she blushed again and gave Andre a glance…

-we can't do that!-Oscar said- and I'm sure your house don't have enough room for all of us…

-actually, we have! Our house's an inn-now her face was red than ever, and the French guard wondered why…

-oh, that explain so much-Oscar smiled and she noted her red face too-could you take us to your home?

-yes, follow me…-she said and picked up the two buckets was full of water

-oh, let me help you…-André immediately took them from her hands

-pssssssss…- LaSalle whispered to Alain-why you want us to stay here?

-yeah, why?- Francois said

-didn't you see that?-Alain said with slyly smile

-see what?

-that girl!

-yes, she look a little lovely, but…- LaSalle replied-…or..-he nudged him-you like her?

-no!-Alain shouted, then he glanced furtively at his commander, lucky she didn't heard…he lowed his voice and continued-I meant the way she looked at Andre…

-I still don't get it…

-ok, just wait and see-Alain laughed

-what are you doing back there?-their commander asked

-oh, nothing, commander-Alain answered with a big smile

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now they were sitting near the table, talking noisily, except Alain, he was spy on his companion…André had finished his help and he saw a sword was hanging on the wall…

-wow, a sword?-he whistled

-oh, that was my grandfather sword…

-your grandfather was a soilder?

-oh, no-she smiled and blinked - it was a gift, from his friend…

-oh…

Alain was looking at them through a chink in the door

-what are you doing?-somebody asked him, he turned back and saw his commander

-nothing commander…just watching…

-watching?-Oscar said, surprisingly, and she walked into the room

-Oscar…

-well, you have a ear dropper outsite!-Oscar said but she didn't look at André, her eyes was on "that girl"

"this's getting interesting here"-Alain thought

-where're your father, miss?-Oscar asked, but then she remembered something…-oh, sorry, I've been so rude, may I know your name? I'm Oscar Francois de Jarjayes…

-I'm Eliza Soulain and my father was in the forest, he'll come home to night…

-ok, let go, André! excuse me miss Soulain…

-ok…-he followed her toward the door, then Alain put his hand on his shoulder-what?-André asked, but Alain didn't answer, he just smiled…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Evening, a beautiful night just like the night before…the sky was full of star and the wind was dancing on the air…but Oscar didn't want to enjoy the star anymore…she was laying on the bed after taking to miss Soulain's father. Of course he'd agreed to lead them to Paris…but they have to stay here this night…the wind was getting stronger, Oscar got up to close the window, but she saw something…André was standing with his back against the oak tree…then, miss Soulain dropped by, and stopped in front of him. Oscar couldn't heard anything, but she could see Andre was stroking Eliza's hair and she closed the window immediately…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-is it gone?-miss Soulain asked, she was frozen cause a worm had fallen on her head…

-yes, it's gone, don't worry-André smiled-you should go to bed, it's late and cold here…

-what about you?

-well, I don't feel sleepy…I'll stay here a little long…

-ok, see you tomorrow…

-yes, good night…

Now she'd gone, André could continue looking, actually, staring at the window upstart…he knew she was there, his Oscar…he wanted to come to her, but he couldn't, yes, he couldn't…all he could do was just standing here and looking at that window…that window was right there, but it seem too far, far, far away…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"what are they doing?" Oscar thought "did they kiss?" she turned over "but what's that concern me anyway?" and she turned again "what's wrong with me, I've been thingking ridiculous things for all day long!" and she couldn't sleep, all that night she'd been thinking why she have to think…

To be continued
