Whispers In the Dark
开云体育(Callum)Callum returned Kirstene's wry smile with one of his own.? "Was it here, d'ye think?" he asked, following after her until he was able to slip an arm around her waist and pull her close.? "Was it here that we made this little one?" He glanced down at where her belly was just starting to show a visible bulge, then looked up again, a teasing twinkle in his eyes.? "As ah recall, we did get carried away a bit here, out of sight of the others. And more than once if truth be told." Leaning close, the young lord nuzzled his wife's neck gently.? "Ye were a fetchin' sight, clothed in moonlight and naught else, like a bold fairy come to lure me away with yer enticin' charms." ?- Kirstene - Kirstene turned into his arms and looped her arms around his neck.?His words did things to her. Made her feel so many wonderful things. His touch never ceased to ignite pleasure…desire…love. Kirstene smiled up into her husband’s eyes. God she loved this man so very, very much. It was there in her eyes, in her touch, in the way she clung to him…needed him. Never in her life did she ever imagine her arranged marriage to him would be this way--filled with such love and devotion and joy. But it was. And she was so very happy. “I love you with everything in me. Going from two to three willna change that. Besides, I canna wait to see ye love this wee one the way ye love me. You gonna make such a wonderful papa.” |

Everything had to be his way, and anything less meant the wrath o' god would be rained down on ye."? The young laird shook the thought away.? "But ah'll do mah best, mah love. Ah swear on all that's holy." He drew Kirstene close and kissed her forehead, adding "And by all that's bonnie and beautiful as well." --- Two days later they were standing in front of the castle's main entrance, watching a carriage make it's way along the road that led up to the estate.? Callum and Kirstene were quietly expectant, but young Jaimie could barely contain his excitement.? "Is that yer sister, mistress?" the boy asked, hopping from one foot to the other.? "Ah dinnae see ony servants wi' her. Wouldn't thay be in a separate carriage? or oan foot?" "Don't be getting yer hopes up, laddie," Callum chided the young servant affectionately.? "Ah'm sure the Lady Arowyn will have brought at least one servant to attend to her needs. She's probably in the same carriage. Taking two carriages would be an extravagance."? He glanced at Kirstene, his eyes glinting merrily as he added "We're not royalty, after all." ? Tag - Kirstene |

He glanced at Kirstene, his eyes glinting merrily as he added "We're not royalty, after all." ? ? - Kirstene, Arowyn – ? Kirstene stood entangled in her husband’s arms, one hand on her proudly protruding belly, the other hand wrapped around his back. She too was excited to see her baby sister. She had not seen Arowyn since she married Callum three years ago and he whisked her away from Edinburgh to Aberdeenshire. She stood trying very hard to contain herself, she was the lady of the manner, she had to keep it together. ? “Arowyn has no servants, Jaimie.” Kirstene said calmly. “She dinna believe in them she says. Mah sister is of that new breed who feels like she is fully capable of taking care of herself and other grown adults shouldna be forced to cater to her needs and beck and calls. Radical thought process is it not," Kirstene said to Callum. Quickly pecking his lips and smiling before turning back to the stopping carriage.? |
开云体育(Sam, Friends) Scheherazade blinked up into her friend's concerned faces. "We are so glad you are okay," Greyson said. "We weren't sure after Branson..." "What is wrong with Branson." Sam asked scared.? "Nothing," her friend said reassuring him. "He wasn't making any sense when he first woke up, be he is okay now." "Okay," she said clearly relieved. "What time is it," "It is 7pm," Marc said.? "Friday," Alex said "Pardon me," Sam said clearly shocked.? "Both you and Branson have been out for two days," Marc said "Did you call..." "A doctor, yes. Miss Margaret did. He came to look at you both. He determined that you were dehydrated and suffering from exhaustion. And Branson had suffered acute electric shock. But he assured us if we let you rest you would both recover. " "And he was right," Alex said. "Branson woke up this morning. He is in his room showering." Greyson said "Here," Alex said picking up the tray of food and placing it in front of Sam. "You need to eat." "I need to see Branson first. Can I see him?" Sam asked,? "I'll tell him you are awake," Greyson said.? "I'll go let Miss Margaret know. She was worried about you." Marc said as he moved to follow Greyson out the room.? "And I will go run you a bath," Alex said standing and moving to the bathroom. ? (Branson) Branson felt strange after he stepped out of the shower.? It was hard to believe that apparently he and Sam had been unconscious for two days, but that's what everyone said.? It was a struggle to remember what exactly had happened, but his gut told him that it was not an experience he wanted to repeat.? The very thought sent chills up his back and had him looking anxiously over his shoulder. ? He began pulling on fresh clothes, wanting to go check on Sam.? But at the same time, he was feeling an urge to go clean and polish everyone's boots?? Who did he even know that wore the kind of boots that needed polishing? (Callum, Jaimie) "Dae ye think she'll be a'richt, Laird Callum?" Jaimie asked anxiously. The two ghosts were hanging back in the shadows outside the door to Scheherazade's room. ? " 'Twas worrisome 'n' passing streenge, her bein' asleep lik' that fur twa days."? "Ah hope so, Jaimie," Callum said, his face a study of concern.? "It were Kirstene's doin', ah'm sure.? But the doctor said there was no harm done.? Still..." he looked again into the room where the American woman was trying to rouse herself from the bed "...ah'd very much like to know what might have gone on in her head these past two days.? Ah mean, she didn' wake up screamin' or the like, but _somethin'_ must've been goin' on.? Ah can feel it in the air." Tag - Sam, Friends |

With a deep sigh, she blinked at her surrounds. Two says? ?Was that even possible? Apparently it was because it happened...both she and Branson were unconscious for two says.? As she wracked her mind trying to remember what knocked her out, all she could remember was bits and pieces of the strange dream she had. She could remember anyone’s faces...just the love. There was a lot of love.? Standing from the bed, Sam moved out onto the the balcony. Breathing in the early afternoon air. It was warm...warmer than when she arrived. And she could see the gardens from here...the gardens. The gardens she did remember. They were beautiful once. “I will make the beautiful again.” She said aloud. Tag |

(Branson) Branson found Sam out on the balcony when he poked his head into her room to see if she was alright.? "Well, I see you're up and about," he said, coming out to join her on the balcony. "How do you feel?? The others told me that we were both out cold for two days." He scratched his neck awkwardly.? "I gotta confess, I can't seem to remember what happened. When I try, I get little flashes of things, but nothing solid.? Except that something was terribly wrong."? He shrugged as he added "Well, that and I seem to have had this weird dream about polishing boots."? Then he remembered hearing Sam say something just as he'd entered the room.? "Make what beautiful again?" (Jaimie) When Jaimie reached the room where Scheherezade was staying, he found her with the American named Branson there was well.? "Ah, Mistress Scheherezade 'n' Master Branson.? Urr ye feeling better noo?" The young ghost stayed close to the door where there were still shadows in the room, not wanting to come to the balcony where the sunlight was bright and revealing. "Ah kin build a fire in th' fireplace if ye wish," he offered. "Or fetch something fae th' scullery if ye'r hungert.? Ah'm sure Margaret wull hae something duin oan th' stove."? (Translation of Jaimie-speak:? "Ah, Mistress Scheherezade and Master Branson.? Are you feeling better now?? I can build a fire in the fireplace if you wish. Or fetch something from the kitchen if you're hungry.? I'm sure Margaret will have something ready on the stove.") Tag - Sam, Friends |
