Chapter 82. An Experimental Kiss
Rifiuto: Non Miniera
It had been twelve years, since Fae had learned of her prophecy from Yackle, and she was no closer to figuring it out than the day she got it.
"To return to your time, you must accept the heart of another."
Sighing, she closed her book, and got up, planning on heading through the kitchen on her way to the library, hoping to possibly snag an apple or sandwich from the head cook. She passed the stables. The sound of giggling made her stop.
Slowly, she backtracked, until she was staring through the slightly open doorway.
A flash of green skin, dark hair. Calloused hands, blonde hair.
Arms wrapped around a slender waist, as hands caressed his neck.
Slowly, thier lips met, and they shared a gentle, loving, first kiss.
Fae gasped.
It was her kiss with Azel.
She'd met him in the stables before dinner, and kissed him. Then, they'd snuck back into the house, and pretended like it'd never happened.
And Elphaba had never found out.
The sound caused both to break apart and turn. They pulled apart quickly; and Fae slowly stepped into the stable.
"Cousin Fabla. What a......a nice....surprise. What are you doing in the stables?" She asked.
Fae raised an eyebrow at her younger self.
"I could ask you the same question Fae. But it's perfectly clear what you were doing. Should I tell Elphaba?"
The younger girl paled. Fae turned to go make good on her threat.
"Please don't tell Mama! It....was just an experiment! She'll never let me leave the house if she finds out! You know how strict she is, Fabla! She'd never understand!"
Fae stopped, listening. She'd given the same excuse to Liir when he'd caught them. And he'd kept her secret. If she did something for him.
"I suppose I won't tell....." She said, thinking of revenge. "If.....you do one little thing for me."
"Anything?"
"Anything." The girl nodded.
"All right. I left a book in your parent's room a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to find it, and the last time I was in there, I locked myself in the closet. Would you go get it for me?"
"Sure. Now?"
"No. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. Wait until after your parents go to bed. They're such.....heavy sleepers they won't notice you come in and out." Fae said, knowing full well her parents weren't heavy sleepers at all.
"All right." Fae gave the girl a smile, before leaving the stables.
This was too easy.
