Havi's POV
It has been only a few hours since Halrein had cleaned the tears off of my face and I couldn't help but wonder about him. And when did I start referring to that weakling by his first name? Agh! I'm going crazy.
I walked out of the castle and down to the shallow river that I had seen awhile ago. A bath would help me relax a bit. Besides I needed to clean myself.
For being an evil castle, it was very peaceful here, the crickets were chirping and the stars were out, like little pin holes in the velvet night. The moon was also full casting its rays on the water.
I slipped out of my robes and stepped into the river, if I could call it that, it was only a few feet deep, stopping at my waste. And good grief it was cold! I don't think I'll ever get it up again.
I ducked under the icy surface for a moment and gasped when I came back up, I was shivering now, but it felt so good I didn't want to get out anytime soon. I grabbed my soap from the bank and made quick work of my body, like I said I didn't want to get out, but my hair would take a bit to wash. I mean, hair as gorgeous as mine doesn't just happen. I used the bar of soap in my hair and got a generous amount of suds in it before throwing the soap back on the bank. I ran my hands through my hair and scrubbed my scalp until I felt satisfied and began rinsing it off. I leaned over and dipped my hair into the water, I didn't want to get soap in my eyes after all, and after awhile I was able to get all of the soap out, I ducked under the water one more time and turned to get out of the river.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Marus sneaking off with my robes!
"If you don't drop those right now I'll turn you into a frog!" I threatened beginning a spell to do just that.
He yelped and ran, but he did drop my robes. What goes through that man's mind I cringe to even guess about. He dropped my robes a good 6 yards away from me, so that meant I had to get out and walk through the chilly air to my robes. I might just turn that guy into a frog anyways and tell Val he ran away. But then little bunny foo foo might tell him the truth, maybe I could turn bunny into a frog as well. Nah, Val would never buy it.
I sighed and got out of the water, making my way to my now dirty robes (they weren't clean to begin with, but thats not the point!).
"Havi! Whats going on?" Halrein's voice sprung out of the shadows. "Marus is telling us that you tried to turn him into frog?!" he sounded upset until he saw my very naked body and his angered expression was quickly replaced with embarrassment. "Where are your clothes?!" his face was now a glowing red.
"I was bathing when that thief tried to make off with my robes." I answered getting uncomfortable, I quickly wrapped my cloak around myself "If you don't mind, I'm going to check on Val!" I stomped off holding the rest of my robes in my left arm and using my right to hold the cloak shut.
Again I felt my cheeks turn red as I hurried away.
Halrein's POV
I was minding my own business when Marus came running into the dinning room crying that Havi had tried to turn him into a frog. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but as Rulca thought maybe Havi had turned back into a brainwashed monster and was going to kill us all and ran to Val's room to protect him. Now I was mad, the freaking rabbit has a set of lungs on him! I stomped off to yell at Havi, but when I got down to the river, where Marus said he was, I only got out a sentence before I was struck dumb, Havi was naked! And wet! My face went red and my groin twitched. Think of something gross quick! Rulca and Marus kissing? Nope that didn't help, My mom? Great I don't have mom. Got it! Dead puppies! Yep that helped.
Havi said something I didn't catch and stomped off wearing only his cloak.
Whats wrong with me?
