One to many husbands

Kaitlyn sat stunned, she couldn’t believe her ears. “He’s alive?” was all she managed to mumble in response to the news.

“Yes” Thomas replied, he’d come to the Karogar Cabin personally to deliver the news. Sitting he eyed up Lar’s cautiously, knowing full well that the news of Alistair’s arrival would be shocking to all involved including Kaitlyn’s new husband. He stared at Lar’s slightly un-nerved at how calmly the large man took the news, he didn’t seem as shocked by it as Thomas had expected. “Kaitlyn, he wants to see you”

Inner Peace

“Enough was Enough” Nancy thought pulling on her winter cloak, she knew her husband would be furious but what had happened with her daughter Persia just “wasn’t natural” she needed the advice of Father Mathew, he’d know what to do. Perhaps he could come an bless her or drive out the evil spirits which had taken hold of Persia.

She loved her daughter.. She really did but her mind was such a muddle, she couldn’t understand what was happening; girls didn’t just walk away from swords to the stomach without a mark unless the devil was somehow involved.

Sit Boy

“What the hells!”  Wolf roared hauling himself to his feet.

“Stay!” She demanded, focusing her attention to keep him pinned to the seat.

He struggled for a moment trying to rise unable to do so he finally relented“Aright … i see yer got some knack’s of ye own”

 

Flying Visit

Asha lay quietly on her bed; the events of the week had given her a lot to think about. Till now she’d always assumed she knew all the gifted. The incident with Wolf wasn’t SO strange she decided surely she more than most should understand that there was indeed more to the human condition than most people understood.

Wolf was like her it seemed, not quite normal and his father was the same or so it seemed and although what she’d seen was terrifying and shocking the power that had emanated from the pair resembling nothing she’d witnessed before. Maria was the closest thing to that she’d seen before, with the ability to turn into a large cat. Still in comparison Maria seemed more like a kitten finding it’s feet.

Really though she decided she shouldn’t be SO shocked, the gift was a strange thing and obviously it had blessed Wolf and his father in the same way it had blessed her and her brother as well as a few others in Grimstead, they’d obviously mastered it in a way most of them hadn’t.

Asha smiled feeling more relaxed about the whole affair granted she still wasn’t sure she was ready to continue her relationship with the large northman but she had decided that she needen’t blow the event out of proportion, for the first time she realised how normal people could fear her own gift.

“You have a visitor” Her brother’s voice rang in her head.

“Who?” she thought back.

“The Northman”

“Ok” she replied nervously “I’ll be right there”

Thomas Meets Alistair

Thomas sat quietly listening to what he was being told. He’d been given the news of “Alistair’s Return” that morning by Holly, naturally he had to come and see for himself. He sat listening the gentleman’s story of how he was the real Alistair, his brother and he was in fact alive and well.  

Asha’s First Date

“Still think he’s too old for you” Farid grumbled.

“Hush up” Asha snapped back as she hurriedly finished cleaning the last of the tables after the afternoon rush.

“What do you see in him?” Farid asked genuinely not understanding the attraction, as he stared at the large man sitting waiting to take his sister out “i don’t get it” he said shaking his head.

Pullin Rank

Wolf stomped sulkily down the stairs, Raeann has been on his back all morning over everything and nothing. Grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl he headed towards the front door.

“Wher ya goin lad?” Lars called after him from the sitting room.

“Just out” Wolf replied defensively not quite ready to share the new’s of his meeting with the young girl in the tavern or with the meeting he’d organised with her this afternoon.

Asha Makes a Move

Having finished his meal Wolf sat mulling over his ale. Had Asha made an advance, was that what is called?? She was very forward for one so young if thats what it had been.

As much as he kept threatening to give up on Raeanne he couldn’t honestly say he’d thought another woman would be interested, yet here he sat with what he was almost certain was a young girl showing an interest in him.

Raeanne’s Competition.

The night was brisk as they stood in the castle garden’s following the coronation “What do you mean you’re not staying??” Raeanne screeched.

Alistair Return’s

Holly sat quietly during the service; she was so excited she was fit to burst. More excited than even her wedding day she decided, watching her husband get crowned King she couldn’t believe how proud she was at that moment. He looked so handsome all dressed up in his ceremonial garb.
