DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, I do not own Reign or its characters.
Last time
I knew I shouldn't have done that, but I didn't regret it either. Besides, a kiss on the cheek wouldn't make Francis jealous or Bash love me. Which meant, it was totally OK.
We arrived at the castle and Bash told me he would bring our horses back in their stable. I said goodbye and went to my room. I wanted to change my clothes, they were full of dust. I told my servants I would get changed alone. After all, I still didn't like getting changed by others. I mean, I'm capable of doing that alone, right?
After I changed, I sat down on my bed. Should I talk with Francis about my thoughts? That Catherine doesn't want me to spend time with him so that he could never fall in love with me. Yeah... sounds weird. But what should I do? Well, if nothing changes, I can still spend time with Bash. Wait, why was I thinking about Bash? I shouldn't. But after all he was my friend, I was allowed to think about him. OK Mary, calm down. You will go now and talk to Francis about your misgivings. I was so confused.
I knocked on Francis door and he opened , looking confused. "Hello Mary, what is it?" "I just wanted to know if everything went well?" I thought about what I just said and came to the conclusion, that I should tell him directly what I wanted to say. "OK, wait. That's not true. I came because I wanted to talk to you about something." He looked a little surprised but then he agreed. He wanted to talk to me outside. When I told him, it was important, he proposed to go outside, where no servants were. I mean they could stand around a corner and listen to our conversation. OK. No. Stop that Mary. You act weird.
Francis and I sat down under a tree, just like Bash and I before. I shall stop to compare Francis and Bash. In the end they were totally different.
"So , what do you want to tell me Mary?"
"I wanted to talk to you about Colin. He told Lola that he was forced to do what he did, from someone here at court. That the person threatened his family."
"Mary, I don't like what happened either, but Lola was in love with him. She would never believe that he did it on purpose."
"So you tell me, I should not believe one of my best friends and that she would lie to me?" I was getting angry because he didn't know how Lola really was. He didn't know her like I did.
"OK, so who do you think told him to do it then? Because I have no idea who could have done that." Great, now I will tell him. I can imagine he wil be angry, really angry.
"How about ... your mother?" I looked at him, my face all serious.
"What do you think you are saying. She is my mother and she always treated you well. Why would she do such a thing? I can believe you go that far, just because you don't like her."
"So you didn't realize? She always tries to keep us away from each other, like this morning. And I believe this whole thing about Colin was her idea. She doesn't want me to marry you. And no, she doesn't treat me well. Not since I am back here. Even Bash recognized that, why can't you?"
Now I was angry. Why didn't he believe me and why would Lola invent such a thing?
"Stop that Mary. I don't believe you. You can't just say what you think without any prove and because things don't go as planned."
"I knew it, you don't want to marry me, thats why you don't care. You are totally fine with me going back to Scotland. But let me tell you, I will leave me alone and don't you dare to call my friend a liar ever again."
With that I ran off. I was near crying but held back my tears. I ran to the one place I really did like, the place with good memories. The place to which he led me this morning.
So this was the third chapter. I am so sorry that it took me so long to upload. But I just didn't have the motivation to write more. This chapter is a little bit longer. So how do you like it? Do you like it? Please review :) I love reviews! :D They tell me if I should continue or not so ... yeah :D Anyway, should I make Bash' POV or shall I continue with Mary's POV?
I think there would be one more chapter, or two; dunno ;)
