Strange new land and customs

1089 Words
The smoke filled room is silent. Everyone is casually sitting at tables around the room drinking tea and smoking the green like cigarettes. They are bowing their heads avoiding eye contact. I don't mind it actually!Iit saves me having to try explain this situation logically. I must have fallen and bumped my head so hard that I'm in a coma!! Nonetheless, i see the little blonde girl waving me over to a table that sits right by a window. Perhaps i play this out.. As I approach the little girl i smile " What's your name sweetpea?" She straightens her back, squares her shoulders and says proudly " I'm Maddeline Mounty"Smiling down at her i take a seat and quiry "I believe you mentioned tea?" she curtseys sweetly and hurries away giggling. I take a deep breath and sit back surveying the room. Why are there so many frocks? they dress in the times of lords and i don't want to say ladies more like bar wenches of ye olde.... i giggle to myself. No wonder they are stealing weird little glances at me . Well all except that guy on the right. Now he is a BIG guy , strong....mmm tanned skin, dark not too long hair and just the right amount of stubble.....oh my! and not afraid of eye contact i see.  I'm feeling a little hot under his gaze if I'm honest...I bite my lower lip nervously before I look away.. He had fire in his eyes like they were dancing. I'm interrupted by my thoughts  {MADELINE} "Heres your tea" She says beamingly placing a steaming cup of tea in front of me. Bowing her head she hurries over to an older woman smiling and hugging her around her waist tightly . It's a sweet sight. I feel like I'm getting a contact high just from the second hand smoke filling the room.  As i sip at my tea i become relaxed as does the entire room. There is normal chatter and noise, barely anyone staring...i feel good. I stare out the window to the streets below. Merchants, of many varieties going about their business. It feels like a simpler time. {JAMESON} "Where the hell have you been i've been worried sick" He sounds frustrated as i sigh turning my head to him. "Jameson you've been telling me lies for years" i say very matter of fact like. He sighs.{JAMESON}"So you came here to get high?" I roll my eyes and lift my cup "I'm drinking tea einstein" i'm being a smart ass about it but so what he deserves it right?  He shakes his head chuckling deep through his broad chest. I look into my tea cup wondering what is so funny? he puts me out of my misery . {JAMESON} "Its in the tea too" He is laughing and i smirk shrugging my shoulders. "Well it tasted like honey" i giggle. He reaches across the table taking my hand in his and for the first time every i see little green flicks from his fingers when they come in to contact with mine.He holds my tiny hand in his big hand covering it with his other hand.  I must be high because i swear a feel a pull towards Jameson right now ...and not a bestie kind of feeling either. When my eyes meet his they are glowing lightly. "Ok Jameson please tell me what's going on" i exclaim.  {JAMESON} "This is your kingdom Saari you are its rightful heir, when you were just a baby your father sent you away to protect you from the people who killed your mother.He knew nowhere in this realm would be safe so your mother opened a portal of light to carry you to safety." He says rubbing his thumb across my knuckles. I nod my head for him to continue. {JAMESON} "We lost track of you and your mother died not long after you went through, she was the only one who knew how to get to you. Your father searched for years to find someone with the same abilities as your mother. Your mother was the highest magical priestess it took a gaggle to bring you back and only her to send you to safety, Your father is old, albeit he is still strong and fierce but he has been patient enough... you need to change your clothes so we can meet him" so many thoughts running through my head right now.... i have a father!! he is here alive and well.... Its processing when Jameson stands up pulling me up holding my hand escorting me back out of the weed room , down the hall , up stairs that wind and into a room that's brightly lit by glowing bulbs. I take a moment to look around when Jameson opens a wardrobe and pulls out ......FROCKS!!!! Nope ....nah.....not going to happen... The door creaks making us both turn towards it a small pale woman with blonde hair peaks her head around the door frame {PALE BLONDE}"Sorry Prince Luca ....Prince Percival said you were back and i guess i just....."  Im in shock.......SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!! The little woman wont make eye contact with me and her presence has made Jameson or who ever the f**k he is stiffen. {JAMESON/PRINCE LUCA} "Greta we are busy?" Did he just dismiss her ? She bows out of the room and i stare at Jameson in disbelief. His eyes meet mine and he stalks towards me snaking his hands around my waist and pulling my body to his. I arch my eyebrow at him quizzically. {JAMESON?PRINCE LUCA} "What?" he asks and i roll my eyes. "Seriously Prince Luca?, anything else i should know? is pale mcblonde face your mrs?" He chuckles and leans his head down to my ear {JAMESON}"Why ? Are you jealous?" he whispers into my ear causing goosebumps to spread across my skin. I giggle shoving him playfully onto the bed. "So Prince Luca you were sent to 'earth realm when you were 16?" I taunt him as i straddle him on the bed. His eyes flick light through them as he grips my hips bucking up slightly into me. I grind down a little on to him before i think about what i am doing. I stand up and move off of him as he sits up and the door opens again.{PERCIVAL}"Sorry to intrude Princess Saari but have you seen......." His eyes move to His brother and they turn stealy. {LUCA}"What is it brother?
