I will be doing this part of the story in 1st person. First with Frey and then with Dylas until they meet at night. If you don't like the idea after reading it let me know so I know not to continue. I hope you enjoy! :)
I lift my head from my palms and fall back onto the bed. Why did i do that? Meeting someone late at night is never good. I don't think anyone in this town will forgive me if i do something. I sit up and tell myself to just breath. I get off the bed and walk toward the door. Eliza is there as always and of course he has more than enough request that need to be done for someone in the town. I still have a long day ahead of me until I meet with Dylas so I decide to see what needs to be done.
"Hello Eliza. Whats new for today?" I wait while he goes through some papers to pick the newest one.
"Well, this morning Forte came up to me in a panic. I think you should go see her right away!" Eliza hands me a paper with the request Forte has written.
"FREY! I... I... I think... No I KNOW there is a ghost following me! I need you to figure out who/what this ghost thing is and why it's following me! Pppplease come help me! -Forte"
I finish reading the paper and can't help myself from laughing. Poor Forte. I hand the paper back to Eliza and tell him that I will accept the request. He gives me a smile so I walk away and head towards Forte's house. As i walk down the steps I can't help myself but stop at the bottom of the stairs. What the hell? I see Forte standing in a circle of salt holding her sword as if she is about to strike any second now. I slowly start walking up to her.
"Are you alright Forte?" As soon as I said that she swung around trying to attack me without questioning who i was first. I guess she really is terrified.
"Oh Frey! I'm so sorry!" She walks up to me without leaving her circle of salt and gets a hold of my hand. "Come in! This can protect you too!" She pulls me into the salt and circles around me prepared for anything to attack.
"What's got you so spooked?" She puts her sword down but still continues to look around for any ghost that might attack.
"I was with Leon and he disappeared when I looked away. I thought he left but on my closet door was this."
She hands me a small paper and watches me as I open it up and read it. "You're next." is all it said. I fold the paper back up and hand it back to Forte.
"So what makes you think a ghost did this?"
"Because for the past three days I haven't seen Leon anywhere! No one has seen him! When I ask begin to ask questions I see random things floating. Or I hear loud bangs!" Forte jumps at the thought of what is happening.
"Did you hear that?" She hides behind me shaking.
"I didn't hear anything." I try to relax her.
"Kiel read in a book that salt protects you from ghost.
"I don't think that's what salt is used for." Forte ignores me and pushes me out of her salt circle.
"GO GET DOLCE!" before I can question her sudden request Forte starts swinging her sword at nothing.
I smile to myself and start walking. More like sprinting. To the clinic. I turn the corner and see Leon talking to Pico outside the clinic door.
"Alright Mr. Fox. You owe me!"
"Fine fine! You gave me the laugh of a life time. I guess you earned it." Leon hands Pico sexy lingerie and sleeping pills.
"Ohhh Dolly will look so good in this!"
Pico vanishes which leaves Leon still grinning and giggling in front of the clinic. He turns around and see's me standing on the side of the building.
"Ah, How is Forte? Still believing a ghost is about to get her?" He grins at me.
"You're behind this?" I can't stop myself from raising my voice.
He laughs and lifts his eyebrow. "You sound like your surprised. Forte is so cute when she is so flustered."
"You made her think something happened to you!" Now I'm starting to get annoyed.
"Lets go get her! I can't wait to see her face when she see's me!" He walks up to me getting a hold of my hand and rushing me to where Forte is.
Forte is still in the middle of the salt but this time on her knees bowing an praying to the gods above.
"Oh this is classic!" Leon laughs making Forte look up. She wore a wonderful poker face.
"Leon? Y..Y...You're alive?" She stands up. Tears start over flowing her face. Without her even questioning her next move she runs up to Leon getting a tight hold on him and buries her face in his neck. Leon at first couldn't move. This time Forte flustered him. His face turned bright red and his eyes grew big as if he himself saw a ghost.
"I thought something happened to you!" Forte still hasn't released her grip. Before Leon could talk I butt in revealing what Leon did.
"Nothing happened to him. He tricked you. He paid Pico with lingerie and sleeping medicine. Just saying. I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that forte and Leon started dating not too long ago. They are a cute couple indeed. Forte releases her grip from Leon and steps back.
"Is that true?" Forte starts drawing her sword.
"Uh.. Well.. Um.." Leon frozen unable to answer. Forte smacks Leon on the head with her sword dropping him to the floor.
I can't stop myself from laughing. Leon always goes around pulling pranks on everyone so being able to get him back is a great feeling. Such an intrusting but cute couple. I look at Forte and give her a smile. Leon looks up at me with a "You're next" kind of look. I give him a giant smile and walk away. I see that the sun is starting to turn into an orange color. I look at a clock and see that it's only 5 o'clock. Two hours left. At this point I can feel my heart beating fast. My hands start to get all clammy. My mind begins to race. I realize I have been day dreaming my way back to my house. I walk to the bed and see a note has been placed on the pillow. What is up with all these notes lately? I open it and see it's from Arthur. I could recognize his writing anywhere.
"Darling, I am sorry to leave without telling you. I was asked to go to Norad this morning for a trade I'm currently doing. I was looking all over for you but saw you were busy with Forte. I hope to be back late tonight but I am not sure if that will be possible. I love you Frey. I hope you find what makes you happy. -Arthur"
I couldn't help but read over the note multiple times. "I hope you find what makes you happy." The words wrapped around my head making me feel weak. Does he know about Dylas and I meeting? Is it THAT obvious that I am no longer happy with him? Is he trying to give me the okay to move on from him? I put the note back on the pillow and walk over the wardrobe. I look through the multiple clothes hanging in there. I push aside all my regular outfits and find a summer dress I haven't worn yet. Dolce made it for me for my birthday. I only worn it once. But this time i decide to try something different. Pulling it out of the closet I look over the dress. It was white with yellow, pink, and green flowers all over it. It has spaghetti straps. It lays above my knees with a loose fit at the bottom that flows with every turn. It was perfect for the summer weather. After putting it on I realize that my hair didn't look right. I felt like the ponytails made me look too young. I take the bows out and watch my hair fall. My hair went past my butt. Holly cow my hair is long! I grab a brush and brush my hair taking out any knots. I braid two small patches of my hair in the front side. I pull them back and tie the two ends together allowing the rest of my hair to stay down yet not get in the way of my face. Next thing I know its time. Oh my gosh I can't believe its actually time. I walk in front of the mirror one more time. I blush at what I see. I look... Pretty. For once I didn't look like I was ready for battle or trying to be 'formal' I could finally just be, me. I smile at myself and start walking toward my door. My hand touches the door knob and the butterflies take over my body. My heart feels like its beating out of my chest. I take a deep breath turning the knob and open the door. After I walk out I look to my right and I see Dylas standing there. He looks at me and finds himself lost for words. I giggle and sway back and forth.
"You like?" I start feeling relaxed again. This feels right. I feel... Happy.
"Shut-up." he looks away from me trying to hide his red cheeks.
"Let's go to the lake!" I walk away trying to tease him before he can answer. I turn around and see he is close behind me not saying a word. Is he happy?
I really hope you guys are happy with it. Dylas's story of what he did before this time is the next chapter. Please write me reviews of what you like/don't like! :)
