Disclaimer: I own Rose, Sarah, Marie, and the Palace of the Guardians. Everything else is not mine… (sigh)
A.N. I tried to edit the language a bit so it sounds more like how people would have talked back then. I would like you opinions on whether or not I should continue to do so.
Chapter 3: After a Year
Luke & Rose
Luke kissed Rose's cheek as he walked with her down the halls she giggled and then sighed blissfully. "It has been a year since Will came here and everything seems to have bighted up now that Sarah has company"
Luke smiled and nodded "She truly cares about him and him for her. He has even taken to helping her in the garden."
Rose smiled and wrapped her arms around Luke's neck "I am glad she is not so lonely any more… and, knowing you, you are absolutely ecstatic about it."
Luke shrugged "We have always been close and I know that Will is going to be a great defender for her, of course I am ecstatic." He grinned down at Rose and then leaned down to kiss her, as their lips met both of them forgot what they had just been discussing.
Nico & Marie
Marie doubled over and gasped slightly. Nico wrapped his arms around her shoulders and asked "Marie my love? Is something wrong?"
Marie closed her eyes and breathed evenly. "It is those ones of evil," she managed "they are growing stronger every day; it is becoming hard to keep them at bay."
"Should we inform the Council?" Nico asked her as he helped her stand up straight again.
Marie shook her head "It is only a minor discomfort which means that those of evil are not a threat yet… and hopefully… they never will be."
Will & Sarah
Sarah, who was kneeling on the ground in the center of the garden, planted a small sprig of moonlace and poured a few drops of nectar on it, a baby moonlace rose from the soil.
Will, who was standing off to the side a little ways, looked up at the moon and asked, "Sarah? Why does it have to be planted at night?"
Sarah looked over at Will, he was not asking because he was tired, he was asking because he was curious. Will had been out gardening with her before but this was the first time she had been planting late, just to be on the safe side she asked, "Are you tired Will?"
Will shook his head "I was just curious."
Sarah smiled fondly at Will and held out her hand to him. He took it and she guided him down to where she sat. He kneeled down next to her and she touched the moonlace delicately and asked Will in a soft voice "What do you see?"
Will examined the flower and replied "A silver glow."
Sarah smiled at him and asked "What does a sliver glow usually mean?"
Will thought for a moment before saying "The blessing of the moon."
Sarah nodded "Hecate made this flower from the light of the moon with magic,"
Will nodded understanding "So it can only planted at night because of the magic of the moon."
Sarah smiled at him "Yes Will." Will smiled at her and then she looked up at the sky and said "We should go inside and get some sleep." Will nodded and followed Sarah out of the garden.
