Hello again everyone :) now I know this took forever for me to update, but I had so much to do and I literally forced an hour out of my timeline to sit and write this! now I know it's short but I'll post something longer for 3d chapter! thanks for those who reviewed last time :)
I sadly own nothing of the Iron Fey series!
enjoy :)
It takes me a few seconds to overcome my surprise with seeing Puck, but once I recover I fly towards him and throw my arms around him while he lefts me up in a bear hug.
Puck has just put me down when I smack him in the arm, "Where the hell have you been?" I exclaim.
The last time I've seen Puck was two years ago! Back then I was dying in Ash's arms and Puck didn't even say a proper goodbye, afterwards he went with Ash to help him get a soul and vanished once they succeeded.
"You know, here and there, taking a rest from king pointy ears," he smiles sheepishly but I'm still not satisfied.
Before I can utter a word, an icy voice shoots accusing daggers at Puck "what are you doing here Goodfellow? "
Ash. I completely forgot about him standing a few feet away.
"Ah, ice boy," Puck starts with a sly grin "always happy to see me, huh?"
Ash doesn't appreciate Puck's humor; his eyes are on me, and for the first time I notice that Puck is still holding me at arms length with both of his ands at my shoulders.
I shrug Puck's hands off and take a step back. Puck rolls his eyes.
"I thought we were on good terms ice boy" Puck says with a smirk, but I swear I could detect hurt underneath.
"maybe we are" Ash says with indifference "but that doesn't mean I appreciate your barging in on my vacation"
Puck rolls his eyes again "I only wanted to see Meghan for a bit, ice boy" Puck shrugs "I won't bother you for long anyway, I have work of my own to do"
Now Ash raises an eyebrow "what work? You haven't been to the court in two years"
Puck opens his mouth to say something, but then his eyes dart to me and he casts Ash a meaningful look.
They seem to communicate something because Ash suddenly goes into tourism mode, "Meghan," Ash starts "want to walk around?, there are exotic flowers here, even berries bushes"
"you love berries," Puck volunteers, and I give them both suspicious looks.
"Fine" I say with a shrug and start moving toward the lake but I notice that Ash is still standing.
"You coming?" I ask
"hmm in a minute" he says and turns back to Puck
I stare at them both in disbelief as they move closer and start having a hushed conversation.
I'm being casted out of my own vacation and the realization angers me.
Fine, I think, who needs two idiotic fey anyway.
I take two more steps and glance back to find both guys completely absorbed in their conversation, so I wander around on my own.
Which is never a good idea!
ahem, so.. reviews? please :)
