The days went by and there was not much changed, dinners and teas between the main families, Elizabeth relax about her father's warnings and continued to do what she liked most to change shape and fly became a butterfly then a robin, then a goldfinch, followed by a blackbird, she did not see that a nearby bird was watching her since she made her third change.
Like her Darcy also liked to fly, but he preferred to do it like a golden eagle, he could see better, fly higher and was not at risk of being attacked by others, he was flying over the Neherfield's terrain, he had been flying high and several times he was diving, he loved to feel the wind cut with the wings of his body, for a moment he noticed how in the limits of Netherfield were observed and felt magical flashes, he abandoned his activity and approached stealthily.
Darcy clearly noticed when a robin became a goldfinch, then flew through the bushes and changed again to become a blackbird, once it began to sing a melody as it fluttered among the branches of the trees. He looked at its delighted until it changed again, this time it became a woman, he looked away, averting his eyes because it could be that she was without clothes, but she controlled her changes very well and appeared in clothes, Darcy continued to detail it and now notice without any blur her magical aura, Elizabeth was a Hilmen! A Hilmen who showed great strength and power, she shone and had an exuberant vitality.
He feel surprised, didn´t imagine that she can be a hilmen, he thinks she can be like Mr. Bennet; the feeling of surprise did not allow him to be aware of the attraction he was already developing towards her. Darcy flew over once again this time over Longbourn while watching her returning home, when he did not see Elizabeth anymore he could detail the property or her family, Darcy observe there in the middle a structure that was undoubtedly magical and also flashes of magic were dressed in practically the entire property.
He returned to his friend's house with a smile, fact that was noticed by Charles ––I guess you've done very well, I think nothing had made you smile here before––
When Darcy heard Charles, he realized that he was smiling, however He didn't know exactly why
- You really have beautiful lands, you should take advantage of them and you can certainly be surprised with them— He reply to get out of the way
- Well then tomorrow I'll accompany you in your cavalcade––
––As you like Charles––
––Ah Darcy, today will be the Bonfire Guy Fawkes, the Bennet and Lucas will perform a common, they have invited us-
Darcy frowned the eyebrows, did not like to participate much in this, in some counties on all those with less favored, the bonfires turned into protests and intimidation of the owners, however the bonfire was organized by Sir Lucas and Bennet, they must have very good relations so that it did not leave the religious canon.
Not very convinced that night Darcy accompanied the Bingley's to the activity, the Bingley ladies were so reluctant that they did not even come to the tables where the ingredients for the desserts that would finish being roasted at the stake were shown, Darcy watched as Elizabeth and Charlotte accommodated and facilitated the candy apples, the potatoes, or the bonfire toffee, while Jane and Mary were approaching the boys and their relatives, who were to be tenants of the properties.
Charles mined with them and helped stoke the fire magically, the knights sharing a drink and conversing while the ladies swirled among themselves and the younger boys. Sir Lucas expressed the prayer of thanksgiving and followed by it, they started to launch fireworks, Darcy noticed as well as some men of the militia who had arrived, the younger ladies were happy with their arrival including the youngest Bennet, the older Bennet however they were demure and despite their smiles they continued in what they were attending mainly to the tenants and their children.
Jane talked to Bingley for a while, but Elizabeth was distant. Darcy couldn't help but look at Elizabeth, She is used that spell that changed her aura and made her look like her sisters something she wasn't.
Elizabeth seemed more beautiful to him, -it would be the reflection of fire- he thought; Darcy was like the moth attracted to the light, first he was attracted by his curiosity to know that they hid at first full his mind, but He in that observation can notice the beautiful expression of her dark green eyes, gave her an air of intelligence and changed with her emotions, however Darcy was always showed no admiration for her openly.
Today he continuing to discover it and although Darcy detected with a critical eye more than one failure in the perfect symmetry of Elizabeth forms, he recognized that her figure was graceful and slender; and even though her ways were not those of refined people, he was attracted to their naturalness and liveliness.
Elizabeth did not pay the slightest attention to Darcy, she was decide to ignore the man who had despised her, however she noticed his intense blue eyes looking at him, again and again she saw how he looked at her, she couldn't help but wonder if she was untidy at first, in fact for a moment she asked her friend if there was something out of order in her appearance. She wondered if she was doing something wrong, and then decided that she didn't care why he was looking at her, or simply the reason was that Darcy was too critical of her surroundings. Elizabeth decided to give him a reason for his complaints and prepared a particularly bitter bonfire toffee with a hint of her magic.
The girl sent by Elizabeth to the group of knights did as indicated to her, she paid attention to handing over to the tall blue-eyed knight the entrusted, Elizabeth sneakily followed the group with her gaze and could see Darcy's cross-expression when tasting the bonfire toffee and look at the other knights who made no gesture, in fact Charles said
- What a sweet wonder I haven't tasted such a good one for a long time -
Darcy thought that his friend was too friendly to call that sweet, and for not wanting to be rude he took another test however it really seemed intractable, his gestures showed his discomfort. Elizabeht couldn't help but smile -a little bitter for the unfriendly gentleman- thought, he never imagined that she was playing a joke on him, but it does miss him that his sweet wasn't sweet.
Another observer was Mr. Bennet, who was like a hawk and did not lose footsteps to the young knights of the north, clearly noticed that they moved like honey bees towards their older daughters, one more notorious than the other but both were visibly interested in them. Both showed admiration; however Bingley's gaze was a bit naive, almost that could be compared to a child looking at delicious sweets; now Darcy's gaze was searching, passionate, deep, like a hunter.
Although little did Bennet know about these young men, it was noticeable that their personalities were very different. One exuded power, security, control, supremacy; the other was affable, naive, lively... The latter was an apprentice while the other was a teacher, the difference in their ages should have been little but the experiences of each were certainly different. They were here for Netherfield, yet their eyes caught much more than the beauty of the land.
At the stake they cooked and shared the desserts, some tenants of Bingley approached him and conversed with him under the ever-watchful gaze of Darcy, it seemed to him that they undoubtedly required assistance, because Netherfield had been uninhabited for years and unlike Longbourn his grounds were somewhat neglected, the tenants of Lucas and Bennet as well as their servants, they were affable and shared in a friendly way, demonstrating that both lords were appreciated and took good care of their lands.
Sir Lucas briefly aboard them reminding them of the invitation to dinner the next day, the knights gladly nodded and Bingley confirmed that they would attend without fail.
