Christine POV

There I was running in the forest and I had no idea where I was going. Then I saw entrance to the naiad pond.

I let a sigh of relief. "Good," I thought "So I'm not lost."

I pondered for a minute if I should sit in one of the gazebos or climb a tree like Katniss. (Yep, that's right hunger games…..)

I decided on the gazebos, so I walked over to the entrance

The naiads perked up as I walked by, "Oh boy!" I heard one squealed "Someone new to drown!"

Then they realized who I was and they grumbled and disappeared under the water.

I couldn't help, but smirk anyone from the fairy kingdom was basically an untouchable, especially unicorns.

I walked over to the nearest gazebo and sat down. My eyes started to wonder.

"Wow, I never realized how beautiful it was here." I thought and I found myself staring at the water.

I almost wanted to dive right, but even for me that was a bad idea. On land, naiads do no harm, but in the water, their domain I wouldn't push my luck.

After I was done taking in the scenery it was time for my mind to wonder. I starting think about my friends here at Fablehaven. Kendra, Seth, Dale, Tanu, Ruth, Stan, Marla, Scott, Warren, and Vanessa. "Hmmm..Warren and Vanessa" I thought. I always wondered what was going on with them. I heard rumors from Seth that they had some history together, but I never knew if it was true or not. "Maybe I'll ask Vanessa when I head back."

Just sitting here peacefully and then I heard footsteps and I don't even bother to look up, because I already know who it is.

"You know we're going have to talk eventually" Bracken said.

"Yeah, I know" I reply.

Bracken sat down next to me.

I tensed up a bit, but then relaxed.

~~Silence~~

Bracken let out a small laugh

"I can't believe that eight hundred years ago, we were like best friends and look at us now."

I laugh too. "I know right... and I seriously can't believe its actually been eight hundred years..."

Bracken let out a sigh of relief and continued "You know we're going to be living in the same house for awhile and I don't want it to be awkward all the time."

I looked away "So what about it? I can survive a bit of awkwardness.."

Bracken looked at me sadly,"I know, but don't you think it would be easier to be friends?"

"Not always..."

Bracken groaned, " CHRISTINE! Why do you have to be so stubborn at times, seriously?"

I let out a small smile, "God, Bracken you haven't changed at all, i was just messing with you."

"Oh..."

I shake my head, "Gullible as always..."

"HEY!" Bracken said offended, " so are we friends again?"

"Friends," I reply and we share a small hug.

"Bracken, I kind of missed you all these years, you were like a little brother to me." I said afterwards.

"Christine. I'm older then you are."

"Yeah, I know, but you just act younger"

"Hey!" Bracken protested.

We just sat there and talked all afternoon. Memories came flooding back and we learn about what each other did over the years and I learned that Bracken was in prison for a least half of them.. (Wow... -_-)

It was like that one afternoon made up for those years that we spend apart.

"Well," Bracken said as he stood up."We better start heading back."

"Yeah," I said and stood up.

We walked toward the house.

"Hey Bracken"

"Hmm?"

"When are you going to man up and kiss Kendra?"

"Whhaatt?" Bracken slightly blushed.

"Aww, come on! its so obvious that you love her!" I said

Bracken blushed even more and starting stammering about something if they we at that stage yet or something.

"Yep," I thought "That's Bracken."

Hey! Well that the chapter! and I think this may be my favorite one so far. Anyways thanks for reading and PM me if you have an ideas for me.
