The She wolf and the Clerical Fairy

Chapter 2 - Finns happiness

*Him*

Finn flew to a tree with a big enough branch, that he manifested out of his blue most form and into that of his human form. He sat with his back against the trunk with his right leg knee bent, and his left leg dangling. He propped his right elbow onto his knee. 

He used his bird whistle to call his friend, a green parakeet call Ringo. 

In all his years of service to Lady Elora, this was the first time he's ever had a reaction to a human, in fact he makes it a habit to not socialise with them.

He patted Ringo under the chin and the parakeet purred. Finn sighed 

A pink most bubble appeared before Lady Elora, manifested on the branch next to him with her legs crossed. Her clear silvery wings fluttering along behind her to help keep her balance. She put her hands one her knee and turned to Finn. 

"Do you want to share?" 

Finn let Ringo fly and took a deep breath in and out.

"My Lady, I think I met my Destined one." 

Lady Elora clapped her hands in glee. 

"Oh my god! I thought something like that happened! Congratulations! Oh she's so pretty." 

"Yeah but she's human." Lady Elora clapped him on the shoulder. "I'll tell you the same thing I told my daughter. Our destined ones are special. They are a gift. A way to keep us and our magic grounded. You felt it right? Your magic reaching out to her? In your five centuries with the council and two in my employ, don't you think your entitled to some happiness?" 

Finn thought for a moment. "Lady Elora, I'm just going to need time. I know nothing about this women." Lady Elora looked at him with a hint of admiration before smiling. "Take all the time you need, I'm going to get back to spending time with my grandbabies." She giggled as she hopped off the tree and dissolved into her pink mist and flew off.

Finn picked a leaf off the tree, and blew it into the wind. "happiness, huh?" Then he himself jumped midair and dissolved into a blue most and flew off. He went in search of the women. He found her in her bedroom. She was sitting on the bed with some papers and a laptop. She was humming to herself. 

Finn watched her every move with fascination. 

She had her wavy hair over her right shoulder leaving her left ear exposed. She had delicate facial features and her brown eyes were so focused but sparkled like two citrine gems. He had to admitt she was beautiful. 

A knock at her door startled her, and before she could see him he flew a short distance away. He had to admit he could not deny it anymore that this women was a gift meant only for him, and so he resolved himself that he was going to get to know her, the human way. He shivered before he mumbled. "I've never...dated before...guess there's a first for everything." 

He flew down to the front door and changed into his human form. He rang the doorbell and stood with his hands behind his back. Callista opened the door.

"Finn, I'm glad your back. Mum said you just needed some fresh air. We are about to have dinner, would you like to join us? By the way, Alpha William has a room available for you to stay in at the packhouse while you are here teaching my children." 

Finn bowed. "I'd love nothing more, miss." Calista laughed. "Oh Finn, you don't have to be so formal with me. Just call me Calista. We aren't at the council right now." Finn again bowed. "As you wish, Calista." They walked into the dinning room, and Finn stopped. Fiona was sitting on one side of the table timidly holding her hands in her lap. Before he knew what he was doing, he glided up to stand beside her.

In a gentle voice he spoke. "May I sit beside you miss?" She looked up at him with sad eyes. "Y..yes...sure." he silently pulled out the chair and sat next to her. 

He noticed that she flinched when thier elbows grazed each other. She tucked her arm in closer towards herself. Lady Elora entered the room flanking the twins and Charlotte. She seen Finn sitting next to Fiona and smiled at him. Once they were all seated at the table, dinner began. The table was quiet until Lady Elora broke the silence. 

"So Calista, sweetheart, you won't mind if Finn stays for a while? I, unfortunately have to get back to work with the supernatural council tomorrow..." Finn stiffened. Calista passed the salad down the table before she have her answer. 

"Of course not. He's more then welcome, after all he is helping my babies with their magic, and I'm really grateful." She held Nicholas' hand over the table and they gave each other a loveable glance before going back to their plates and dinner. Throughout dinner Finn would glance Fiona's way. She would politely respond whenever she was asked anything. 

After dinner Fiona offered to clean up and do the dishes. Finn saw it as an opportunity. "May I help too?" Calista gasped. "But Finn you are a guest. Just sit down and relax." As she stood up to collect the plates, Finn placed his palm upwards and used his magic to call all the dirty plates to him. 

"Calista, I only wish to help, if you would." Calista had no other option then to agree. Calistas mother, Lady Elora, grinned knowingly. Finn walked into the kitchen as Fiona was filling the sink with water. She switched the Fawcett off and began to dunk the first lot of plates in the warm soapy water. Finn came up behind her. "Allow me, miss..." He put the dirty plates down on the right side of the sink. He directed the dishes one at a time into the sink and then the scrubbing brush floated passed to scrub each dish.

They floated into the dishrack. Fiona gasped but then quickly grabbed a tea towel to dry them. 

As they worked, Finn gently started a conversation.

"Uh hmm. I'm Finn, may I have your name miss?" 

He bowed. Fiona nearly dropped the plate she was drying. "Um...Ah....f...f..Fiona." Finn stood back up again. "A beautiful name for such a beautiful lady." 

Fiona began to hyperventilate. Finn watched her uneasiness. "I'm sorry, have I... offended thee?" 

Fiona didn't stay. She ran out the door...
