Black Rose

Chapter three: A Blossoming Couple

After Etna came back to the castle with Laharl she went straight to her room and fell asleep. She stirred into her sleep but awoke to the sound of pattering on her windows and turned to see what was causing the noise. It was raining hard so Etna turned frantic and looked at the clock which read 9:27 AM. There was a scream from outside.

"That sounds like Laharl!" Etna cried, rushing to the window. She forgot to open her window so her head crashed into the glass. There were some curses from the first floor and the pattering of footsteps running up the stairs. Etna's door burst open.

"Etna are you alright? I heard a crash and..." Laharl started.

"Don't worry Laharl; I just hit my head on my window." Etna said, "oh my gosh, your soaking!" She grabbed a towel and dried Laharl's top half off. She blushed slightly, realizing how close to his soaking wet chest she was. She moved away and turned around, not wanting Laharl to see her blushing.

"Uh...can I at least have the towel so I can dry myself off?" Laharl asked. Etna threw the towel at him and hit him in the head.

"Oh my gosh, sorry Laharl!" She said.

"Grr...What is WRONG with you, Etna?! Ugh never mind..." Laharl yelled, drying off his hair some more. Etna shrank back.

"S-sorry, Prince Laharl..." Etna said.

"Never mind. I'm going to take a shower now. Mind if I still use this towel? I doubt you would want it back since it has rain water on it." Laharl asked. Etna blushed lightly.

"Oh! Uh, no, not at all!" Etna said, smiling. Laharl went to the washroom. Etna heard the water turn on. She plopped herself down on her bed.
