A faeries Love by Samuel Plahetka (e reader for manga .txt) 📕

“You misunderstand me completely. I only want you to be happy, you know that. But I don’t want dad and a guard to come across you two somewhere,” Saliwyn said. “What I am proposing is to help you. Uessi and I talked about it a little. We’re not sure what our parent’s would do if they caught you, Uessi a little more then me, but what we are proposing is a little help. Instead of sneaking out, we tell our parent’s we are taking you out for star watching tonight, so they don’t run off looking for you two with the guards. To avoid an embarrassing situation,” Saliwyn said. Evelyn blushed a little more, her cheeks growing a bright red.

“Okay,” Evelyn said.

“I don’t see why you have to walk me to the wall,” Evelyn said to her brother who was walking next to her.

“Because, that’s the plan. Uessi and I are going to go talk some somewhere kind of nearby, far enough away that we won’t know anything but close enough that if something happens or someone dangerous disturbs you we can help. It’s usually safe here in the city, but sometimes things happen, and we’d both be very upset if anything bad happened to either of you. Not to mention the trouble we’d be in if it did,” Saliwyn smirked. Evelyn just shook her head, but smiled anyway. They got within eye sight of the wall. Saliwyn stopped walking.

“This is where I stop,” Saliwyn said. “Just yell if something bad happens,” he said before he started walking away down a side street.

Evelyn took a deep breath. Up until now, someone had been by her through this. First Eadalla, and then Saliwyn. But now she had to take the last few steps by herself and she felt that same strange feeling inside her, but intensified. Part of her wanted to run to the wall as fast as she could, but part of her wanted to run away back to her house. She could always come up with some excuse why she wasn’t with her brother.

But her feet remained planted where she was, unable to move. She knew she didn’t want to run away.

She took a step towards the wall and a strange new feeling started flowing through her. She found herself hoping Eadalla was there, that she hadn’t been teasing her, or just wanted to make her show up somewhere in the middle of the night alone.

She took another step and realized she wanted to feel Eadalla’s lips upon hers again. That made it easier and the steps became lighter, less strained. She almost felt like she was gliding towards the wall. The first two steps would forever be ingrained in her memory, she knew that, but she couldn’t remember taking any of the other steps. She was just there.

Looking around, she looked for Eadalla, but she didn’t see her. Maybe it was a trick. She sighed a little.

“Evelyn, is that you?”

Evelyn looked over behind the wall, where the street lamps didn’t reach their light. Eadalla was kneeling behind the wall, peeking over it. Evelyn felt a smile appear on her face and she walked over to where Eadalla was and sat down next to her.

“I wasn’t sure you’d show up,” Eadalla said.

“Of course I would. I suggested it. I wasn’t sure you’d show up either,” Evelyn said. They were silent a moment, then both giggled at the same time. That lifted some of the nervousness from Evelyn’s chest, but she found she couldn’t think of what to say next. She just looked at Eadalla. She leaned over and kissed her, lightly at first. Eadalla’s hand went behind Evelyn’s neck and the kiss intensified into something more passionate.

“Come on Saliwyn, I want to make sure they still have it,” Evelyn said, walking in front of him fast. Saliwyn was having trouble keeping up with his sister who was normally lagging behind him.

“Don’t worry. They rarely sell out of those. I’m sure it will still be there,” Saliwyn said as he tried to keep up.

Evelyn and Eadalla had started hanging out during school when not in their classes and whenever they could after school. Evelyn had learned a lot about Eadalla. They only had one class together, but besides that Eadalla was taking a lot of advanced classes. The more advanced the better her grades were. But by the same token, the easier the class was, the worse her grades were. Evelyn had been jealous of this about her at first, but after spending a little bit of time with her, she had started also going to the office when Eadalla would get called in and would listen at the door as the various administrators would talk to her. The dean and principle of the school would call her the smartest student in this grade, and she should have been valedictorian if she would just apply herself in all her classes, not just the challenging ones. But her counselors were always calling her Dumb and stupid and telling her that her grades in her higher level classes was just a fluke, and as soon as they figured out how she was cheating they would pull her from them. The jealously she felt disappeared after she heard them talking to her like that.

“It’s ok, they just don’t understand,” Eadalla told her after the first time. Evelyn felt her hand twist into a fist.

“No it’s not. They shouldn’t be able to treat anyone like that,” she said. She punched the wall, leaving a small hole behind. Eadalla looked ahead and behind to see if anyone had seen it.

“You shouldn’t punch holes in the walls, you’ll get in trouble if they had seen you,” Eadalla said.

“Better the walls then them,” Evelyn replied. Eadalla smiled at her and kissed her softly.

“Thank you, but it’s really okay. I don’t really need the grades for my dream, just the knowledge,” Eadalla said.

“Oh? And what dream is that?” Evelyn asked, her anger forgotten at the thought of finding out some new secret of Eadalla’s.

“I want to be a writer and a bard and Travel the world and tell stories where ever I go. See the sights everywhere,” Eadalla said. Her eyes looked off to a really far away place. “What about you?” she asked. Evelyn stopped walking for a moment.

“I don’t know what I want to do. I figured I would figure it out before I left school, but I haven’t figured it out yet.”

“Well, what do you love?” Eadalla said.

“You,” Evelyn replied quickly. Eadalla smiled.

“Okay, what do you love besides me?” she quickly added. Evelyn thought a moment.

“I love plants, and growing things,” Evelyn said after a few moments.

“Maybe you should start taking Botany classes. That’s everything you need to know about plants,” Eadalla said. Behind them they heard the steps of someone taller then them start down the corridor.

“Come on, they will see the hole in the wall,” Eadalla said quickly and grabbed Evelyn’s hands. The two started running down the hall.

“I just know what Eadalla would want, and I want to make sure I get it for her,” Evelyn called back to her brother. They reached the bookstore and went in. There were books stacked everywhere, not nearly as many as the great library that stood near the city hall building, but these were for sale and anyone could get them. She went to the one book she knew Eadalla would love. It was a set, a small black leather bound book that contained everything a writer and traveler would need, a larger brown leather bound blank book with a very large amount of pages, advertised as enough pages for two generations of writers with some pages left over for other things, and a magic writer that would never run out of ink. It was a little expensive, but Saliwyn said he would help cover the cost of it. He had gotten to know Eadalla, both through Uessi and when he would talk to Eadalla himself.

Evelyn’s hands tenderly caressed the roses before her. The field she stood in was bare brown dirt. Near the edges low grey brick buildings stood watch, surrounding the clearing. The clearing was almost a courtyard for these buildings, but they didn’t quite close in the area, leaving small passages between buildings that led to other places beyond sight. Grass crept inward at these passages but hadn’t moved into the clearing. The rose bush she lovening cared for the only obvious plant around. Its’ flowers were blue, white, red, pink, and 2 identical purple roses. She smiled upon the rose bush.

“You’re the only plant around here, but someday soon others will also grow here, nurtured by your own growth. Your beauty will inspire them to grow tall and strong, As if you were their queen and they your servants.” The flower seemed to move at this, straightening in the sun overhead.

"Good, very good, I had always hoped you would master the rare Purple flower, but I never imagined you would be able to do this," a familiar voice behind her said. She knew this voice, her older brother. She didn’t need to look at him to see his features. He had flaming red hair, something of a curiosity among her people. No one else in the city had any, and a sharp contrast to her own brownish-black hair. He’d be wearing his armor, mostly bright steel colored shining in the sun with purple on the shoulder pads, knee pads, elbow pad, and chest plate. On the chest plate there was a crest of their city dead center. Where the pieces fit together, he wore buckles imprinted with their family crest, though most people didn’t notice it. His wings were hidden under his armor, and had said outsiders had sometimes been confused and thought he was a short elf.

The fact that this was their families private clearing, only their family was allowed here, and their parents had given it to them long ago. In the past, when her brother was younger, he would invite his friends here to play a human game with sticks hitting a ball and running around bases, but not very long ago he no longer had time for that game, being immersed in studies or maneuvers with the people under his command in the defense forces. He had moved up the ranks and now had a position of great responsibility, but still he made time for his little sister whenever he could, visiting her as often as he could.

"I'm glad you approve," She said. She knew her place, not wanting to embarrass him in front of whoever may be watching. She picked up a pair of pruning sheers she had nearby and snipped the 2 purple roses off. Then she dipped them in a bucket next to her. She took one and placed it behind her ear, where it seemed to magically stay. She stood and placed the other behind the man's ear.

"Brother and sister should always have a special bond." Her green eyes looked up into his hazel eyes. She knew he was leaving soon for the human lands. The elves needed help in the war against the humans and had asked the faeries for help. He was to led several battalions and bring this senseless fighting to an end. She wrapped her arms around him and laid her head against his chest.

"You better come back, I don't know what I'll do if you don't."

"You'll go on, just without me." He said to her, sounding confident, but he shaked beneath her grasp. His arm's wove around her and they stood holding each other.

“You can't die; you're all I have left of him.”

'I am truly sorry faerie child, but my time has past, I have felt the freezing cold 10 times and I can not bare another season. I have grown infertile, and I
