Too Young
(Tancred's Point of View)
We sat there for what felt like forever, her eyes glinting in the moonlight seeping through her open windows. She stood up and walked over to me pulled my shirt off and threw it behind her and then the least expected thing happened; she started pashing me. We fell onto her bed. I was on top but she rolled over so I was now on the bottom. I knew what she wanted to do but I just couldn't seem to be able to let her. I had been almost up to the point in my relationship with Tracy to start taking my shirt off in front of her but with Emma it was different, she was only 12! She was so fragile. What had I done?
I sat up, she was still kissing me. "Emma," She looked up at me "This isn't right, you're only 12." I realised I had said it like a father and immediately regretted it.
"Only 12," She cut in "You are only one year older than me." She was turning red and I knew I had said the thing completely wrong but I didn't know what to say to fix it. "Get out." She was whispering now and pointing towards the door not even looking at me (I hoped that wasn't because she was about to start crying and didn't want me to see).
(Emma's Point of View)
I'd never felt so angry in my life. I was completely ready to take a chance with Tancred (the only guy I'd truly loved) and he just pushed me away like ... rubbish. I thought it was possible (but highly unlikely) that I was overreacting. I mean, deep down (I guess) I knew he was right; I was only 12 and we had only been on one date (where we had pashed, a lot though).
Maybe I should have listened to my mum. Not that I had much experience but mums are supposed to know what is best for you and help you through tough situations (situations like this). I wondered if she had seen that coming. I threw my pillow at the wall and feathers went flying everywhere. I slammed my door shut and began crying hysterically and soon after fell into a troubled sleep.
Meanwhile back at Bloor's, Billy was down in Cook's nice cosy room, having a nice hot cup of chocolate (with Cook) when the Flames arrived at the sky light. Cook stood up and let them in. Their fire-coloured coats lit up the room with warmth. Cook poured four bowls of warm milk and placed one in front of each of the cats and then, so Blessed didn't miss out she put a bowl in front of the lump (it didn't look like much of a dog), which immediately rolled over and started drinking the milk.
"There's a letter." Billy said pointing at Sagittarius, who did indeed have a letter tied onto his back. Cook took it from the cat. "It's for you." Cook said passing Billy the note. She immediately noticed the change of expression. His eyes went bright as he turned the note over in his hands wondering who it could possibly be from.
Cook was worried that it might be a prank but at one look at the three cats she was reassured that that was impossible. She looked back at Billy. He was overjoyed, no one had ever written to him before. "Open it." She coaxed. He smiled up at her and then ripped open the envelope. A piece of parchment fell out and landed in his lap.
