Forbidden Love (Dreamer)

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


I threw my head back and cheered, arms up to embrace all the... Everything! I grinned at Reven, and then at Mother and Father, and then just, the wonder around me. What could be better?


"Hello!"


I turned to see Maryanne, smiling and laughing at us, "Welcome home, you two!"

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven-


I admit that I made a rather undidgnified happy noise at the sight of our long missed sister, but there was no need for dignity here so I only jogged to the edge of the roof and hopped down, rolling over a shoulder and back to my feet to avoid injury. "Maryanne!" I cried, and wrapped my arms around her even though it made her drop the lead to the small wagon of supplies she'd been pulling. "We've missed you!"

 

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


I immediately joined in the hug, and Maryanne laughed again, "I missed you both also." I spun around again, simply joyous, "How come we've never been here before?"

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven-


"It's supposed to be a secret." Dad said, a bit of laughter in his voice, and patted me on the head when I took Maryanne's wagon for her. "And your place, as well as ours, was at the castle." He shook his head and just pressed a kiss to Maryanne's forehead. "Hello, dear." He said softly, lovingly, and I knew he'd missed her too. "It's been too long since your last visit."

 

[Dreamer~]

Maryanne-


I smiled at Father, "Well, someone has to keep the spiders away. What brings you here?" They're faces all darkened, and my stomach turned.


"Gabriella." Mother said simply. "She came after the children."


Izabelle looked as if she wanted to state that she wasn't a child, but a quick look from me told her now was not the time.


"So they'll stay with me?"


"Yes"


Izabelle-


Wait. They were going back and we weren't?

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven-


I stopped in place, looking at Izabelle and then at Father and Mother. The joy of this new place was fading very quickly. "You . . . You can't just leave us here." I insisted, even though Father had already begun to look at me sternly with just those words. "We have to go back with you! We -"


"Reven." Father said harshly, and I flinched, leaning away a bit when faced with his disapproval. "You will do as we tell you to do, and you will stay safe with your sister until we return for you. Neither of you will give her trouble." He looked between us. "Am I understood?"

 

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


I put my hands on my hips, glaring back at Father. "No," I said firmly, "you are not. We are going back. It's our kingdom too. Our people! We aren't going to hide away like vermin as you go and save the day." Stubbornly, I pointed at my bow, "You tried everything to keep me from learning with a sword. But I can protect myself with an arrow better then anyone you know. Reven uses the sword like magic. And you bo-"


"Izabelle!"


I set my lips tight, furious. It was rare Mother raised her voice, but it was usually with me.


"You two are staying here. Period. If you try to follow us back, Rallek will just return you here. End of discussion".


I glared at them both for a moment, and then grabbed my bow and shot an arrow at the tree in between them, just to show off. I then stormed away, ignoring Mother's calls.

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven-


I watched, open-mouthed, as Izabelle shot an arrow into the tree, but Father didnt so much as flinch. "Things are happening that you can't yet understand." He said as she left, his voice hinting at danger and still angry. Finally, though, he sighed, and waved me away. "Go after your sister."


I hesitated, unsure, and then just ran off in the direction Izabelle had gone. Shouting was one thing, but she couldn't just threaten them like that, even if she wouldn't make good on the threat, ever.

 

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


"Don't Reven," I growled when I heard his footsteps, "I don't want to talk." How could they? Just expect us to sit here and let them go off to.. What? A war? Hardly. And they only knew the half of it! They didn't know about the elves! Or the Big Ridge. Or... Anything! And I understood perfectly! Gabriella wanted the kingdom, and she would try to take it. So why couldn't I help fight for it?!

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven


I only shook my head and followed her determinedly, not arguing but keeping pace. "I suggest a tactical retreat." I said, watching her closely. "Anything else would be outright defiance, and that's not what we want if they're going to let us help. We'll let them go, and later we'll follow." I caught up to her with a few loping strides, putting a hand on her shoulder but not pulling her back. "Our grandmother aims to fight them with magic, yes? Then we'll go and learn magic from its roots, until they can't deny our usefulness. Then, we follow." And we would win. The two of us, we would find the elf again, and we would learn elvin magic, and we would win back our kingdom.

 

[Dreamer~]

((*clap clap clap*))


Izabelle-


I turned to Reven, grinning, "You're brilliant!" I kissed him on the cheek. "Now, we'll need supplies for the walk back... Unless...". I bit my lip, studying my surroundings, "We could always... Fly"

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((*bow* *bow*))


Reven


I smiled a little when she kissed me and just shook my head like I wanted to get rid of the feeling, looking around as she did. "We'll have to learn how, first." I said, nodding slightly in agreement. "I'm sure Rallek will have fun, but we have to learn how to hold on and, well, not fall."

 

[Dreamer~]

((Sorry, Mom decided yesterday would be a good Family Adventure Day. I was then at my best friend's. Who is one of the few who actually knows about you. And when I told her we'd found each other, she was very happy!))


Izabelle-


When we returned, I curtsied to Mother and Father, "I apologize for my actions, that was not as a princess should behave." Mother only looked at Father, she was frustrated too, and disciplining us wasn't her forte. I met Father's eyes, daring him to say a word.

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((Is it the one from youtube, because I admit that I was bored, and I glanced at your profile, and found the link to your videos xD I only watched one or two of the latest lol but I felt stalkery))


Reven-


I thought Father suspected something, as Izabelle rarely ever simmered down so quickly, but he glanced at me and likely suspected I'd calmed her, then just sighed. "I am glad you realize that, but I am also sorry that we must be so harsh on you." He stood and pulled her in to him, pressing a kiss to her hair. "It is for the best." He said gently, then gave her and I both a little push towards the kitchen. "Now go and help your sister make supper."

 

[Dreamer~]

((Yes. And DDDDDUUUUUUUDE. This is why you are awesome. (: We freaking love views. Just waiting for a comment. And you basically know me anyway, so I don't freaking care, lol. But yeah, that's Amy and I))


Izabelle-


After supper, Mother and father headed out again, after a trillion kisses from Mother. It felt odd without them, we'd almost always been with them. Maryanne tried desperately to distract me, but I could only brush her orr. "I'm going to bed," I called, "I'll see you in the morn." I didn't like this. It was too different

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((Then I shall go and comment! lol))


Reven


I was supposed to be braver than this, wasn't I? I could've survived, sleeping in my own room. I could've. But it felt strange, this place, and rather than make myself stay, I slipped out into the hall and went into Izabelle's room instead, kneeling next to her bed and shaking her gently. "Iz? Izabelle? Can I sleep here?" It was too quite here. The castle was sometimes deathly silent at night, but if one strained hard enough there was always some servant or guard moving about. I didn't like the quiet here.

 

[Dreamer~]

((You are amazing(: I subscribed us too you, so now you're being followed Someday, SOMEDAY, I shall see your face. It is now my own personal mission, cause you've seen mine ))


Izabelle-


I gripped his wrist and tugged him up into the bed beside me, curling into him. I wasn't... A scared person normally. But this was all so different. And without Mama or Papa, it was horrid. We'd never really been separated, and knowing they were in danger made it far worse.


"What if we don't get there soon enough?" I whispered

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((I can give you a picture if you're so desperate xD I don't put my face up anywhere. I just don't. Also, unless you like anime music videos, you may just want to unsubscribe lol 'Cause that's all I post, whenever I actually have the time and inspiration to edit one ))


Reven


I crawled up into the bed next to her when she pulled on me, settling in and putting an arm around her, resting my head against hers. ". . . We will." I said softly, a hand finding hers and squeezing. "We'll just have to learn fast."


((Ta da! Face attached Ignore the unhappy face. I was trying to show my hair to someone, and I kind of have a horse smile, where your lips show all of your teeth when you smile lol It isn't attractive in pictures))

 

[Dreamer~]

((YOUR EYES ARE SO PRETTY! But, it's almost odd that this is the first time we've ever seen each other. It's just like, Idk. Awesome, though! And I have a horse smile too, when you suck on your thumb as a toddler, you get funky teeth))


Izabelle-


I nodded, "Yes." I was able to fade asleep then, and it was wonderful. With Reven by my side, I could do it. I could do anything

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((=O_O= Thank you. I just looked at the picture again and realized I looked really tired for some reason xD I wasn't, I just permanently have that darkness 'round my eyes for some reason. Here, they look less shadowy in this one lol))


Reven


I kept watch, for a while, but eventually fell asleep because there was nothing to watch with Rallek outside. In the morning, I woke up on my stomach with my arms under the pillow and Izabelle's head on my shoulder, so it wasn't like I could really get up without waking her. I yawned quietly, stretched my legs a bit, and just stayed still. When she woke, we would eat breakfast, and then we could start learning to fly. Surely Maryanne wouldn't stop us like our parents or Uncle Favian would.

 

[Dreamer~]

((Is it just me, or is your mind like, twitching too? Texting Amy cause I'm so freaking excited and she's all "... Okay? I love you, my nerd freak". It's crazy to think that we'd never seen each other before. And (this sounds horrible, but you know I mean it in a loving yet crazy way) I always kind of pictured your old picture of Eli, just typing. Like... Idk. It was freaking weird. Lol. I like you being a real person much more!))


Izabelle-


I didn't open my eyes when I woke up, just listened to Reven's heartbeat. It was relaxing like this, knowing he would protect me. I slowly stretched, warming up each muscle to the day. "Morn," I mumbled, still not opening my eyes to the light, "What time is it?"

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((Twitching? xD That sounds so weird! I am not a boy! lol Though I mostly play male characters I don't know why, I'm just better at males than females for some reason. I apparently don't understand my own gender as a group lol I think I sort of picture you as Emma. Not the pic, but just the Emma I see in my head. Now we both have faces ^.^))


Reven


I shrugged a little, just watching the window like I had been for the past half hour while I waited. "'Round eight, I think." I said, then stretched out my arms, shoulders and back, getting out the cricks from being in one position too long. I shifted up into a sit, yawned into a hand and blinked at her a little groggily still. "We'll waste daylight if we don't get up now. Breakfast?" We could make it ourselves. We'd snuck out at night often to make our own food, and the cooks were never around that late.

 

[Dreamer~]

((Exactly! Like Anna and Eli mashed! And I am, pretty much, Emma. She has my emotions, a lot of my quirks. You could probably see that in the videos))


Izabelle-


I threw a hand over my eyes, "Eeeeeeh". Reven always liked morning, but Mother and Father called me "their night sprite". But if it was to find those elves, maybe it would be worth it.

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((I only watched a handful, but yes.))


Reven-


I smiled a little and just shifted up to put my legs off the side of the bed. "Come on. Ill get breakfast, and you get up and dressed. Maybe we can get out before Maryanne wakes up." I didn't want to have to lie if she asked what we were doing, but I supposed just flying on Rallek wasnt such a big deal.

 

[Dreamer~]

((No big deal, just flying on a DRAGON))


Izabelle-


I walked out, dressed, to the smell of porridge. "Gross". I muttered, "How do you eat that... Sludge?". Hopefully, he was making something different for me, that awful stuff was.... Disgusting. It reminded me of little mushed up bugs. That smelled like sugars. Gross.
