An: I don't own Twilight/ Eragon/ Ranger's apprentice
Chapter 8
Love in crystal
Epov
We would stay with Halt and Will for the next year, as Will recovered and the snow cleared for us to go home.
Will was getting better all the time, he still slept with Halt sometimes (time will heal it I thought) but most of time he did talk to me.
It was about six months or so when his friends came home and we decided to go out and party.
The inn at wensley village was full of music, laughter and noise. We sat at the table with Horace (whose leg was better), Alyss and Jenny. It had been Horace's idea to celebrate Will's return to health with a feast.
As we entered friendly conversation I wanted to know more about us and how we meet. Horace was the first to tell his story.
"My full name is Horace Altman and I have known Will since we were in the ward together" he said.
"The ward, what is that?" I asked
"The ward is where orphan's live until the age of fifteen, when choosing day happens" replied Alyss.
"What is choosing day?" I asked again.
"Choosing day is the time when each year, castle wards turning or have turned fifteen can apply to be apprenticed to the masters of the various crafts that served the castle and its people" replied Alyss
"Remember that day" said Jenny
"How can I forget" replied Will
Horace spoke up "all the sudden we heard, "All right candidates! This way! And look lively!" that was the shouter Martin, the Baron's secretary".
Laughter went around the table, "anyway" Horace continued "I went to save Will with Halt and got my knighthood, I'm now called the oak leaf chevalier"
"My story is like Horace's" replied Alyss "I was apprenticed to lady Pauline of the diplomatic service, no battle in my history, although I know something about Pauline"
"What?" said Jenny
"She is in love with ranger Halt"
"Oh" said jenny
"Good luck" said Will
" well my story is like theirs" replied jenny "but I was apprenticed to the castle kitchens and master Chubb"
"So….. do you have any girlfriends or boyfriends?" I asked
At this Alyss blushed and Will looked away, "ummm…Edward we better be getting back Halt and Carlisle will be wondering where we are" said Will
"Sure, see ya latter guys" I said
As we made the way back "so, is there anything going on between you and Alyss" I asked.
"I do like her, but with all that happened I don't think I will be ready in her life time" Will said sadly.
"Oh well maybe next life"
"Maybe, speaking of girls what about you and Bella"
"I love her and cannot wait to make her my mate, but in the dragon world she is but a baby and I must wait at least until she makes flame" I told him
"That must be hard"
"Yes, I would like to get her something, but cannot afford it"
"Heh, can you make things out of stone"
"Yes" I replied "where will …..Will? where are we you going?"
"To the crystal caves"
"what are we going to do there?"
"You are going to take a piece of crystal rock and turn it into something for Bella" he said.
When we returned, I walked up to Bella, who was in her dragon form.
"Bella, come with me" I said
"What for?" she said changing into human form.
"It's a surprise" I told her taking her to a beautiful meadow full of wildflowers.
I gave it to her, it was a brilliant heart – shaped crystal, cut in a million facets that when the light hits it, it sparkled and throw rainbows in the sunlight.
"It's beautiful" she said
"My heart is just as silent" I mused "and it too, is yours"
"Thank you, for both" she said looking from me to the crystal and back.
Soon her lips found mine.
An: love scene and a friendship scene…..anyone need a tissue?
