Rising Shadows [Dark Huntress, Scarsmate, and Redkite]

[Dark Huntress]

Ramzy inclined his head in play and strolled in, puffing his chest out in a mockery of the men who strolled through London. When Elijah had closed the door and he hoped the girls couldn't hear him he shuddered. "Who could walk like that? It makes my trousers too tight!@

*£*

Rowen clasped her hands under her cheek an squeezed her eyes shut. Go to sleep! she ordered herself.

[anyone can switch to morning]

[Scars Mate]

Elijah nodded vigorously in agreement.

'There's a reason I could never get along with those people!' He added, before getting into his bed after darkening the light. He heard Ramzy go to bed too, and so dutifully said:

'Good night! Oh-' he added, a thought occurring to him. 'What were the girls laughing so much about? I heard them mention your name.'

[RedKite]

Septimus scowls up at the house irritably and growls.

[Dark Huntress]

Ramzy shrugged, then rolled his eyes at himself. Like Elijah would be looking for that in the dark. "I have no idea." Then his cheeks heated. "Oh," he gulped. "Rowen happened to be dashing down the stairs in her undergarments when I walked in. That might be it."

[Scars Mate]

Elijah let out a whoop of involuntary laughter. 'You might as well just get married now,' he joked. When silence ensued his statement, he felt compelled to add: 'That was a joke, by the way.'

[RedKite]

(had to do this cos Septimus and Issabelle are way too darkly cute together!)

Septimus growls under his breath at the comment. He rolls his eyes and folds his arms.

'Something wrong?' Issabelle asks, ' Are you ok?'

'I'm fine, ok?' He snaps.

'You are so difficult..' She frowns getting to her feet swiftly and stalking over to his current perch in the oak.

'What do you think you're doing?' He asks.

'Something...' She answers, sitting next to him in the tree.

He looks confusedly at her. She takes a breath and leans into him, resting her head on his shoulder. His eyes widen and body tenses.

[Scars Mate]

Rivera slunk away from the window, her moves subdued by the day's events. Rotan followed her, a concerned expression etched onto his face.

'Can you undo the back?' She asked, gesturing to the extravagant back of the dress she wore. He obliged, carefully hanging it up as she slipped into the covers of the bed. He got in next to her, wrapping his long arm around her shoulders. She leant into him, lightly tracing the tattoo on his wrist.

'Go to sleep.' He instructed.

She hesitated, before asking: 'If I have nightmares, will you wake me?' He chuckled, lightly smoothing down the hair on the top of her head.

'Of course,' he murmured, pressing a kiss on her cheek. 'Now rest.' He added seriously.

[RedKite]

'Issabelle?' He whispers.

'Move and I swear I'll choke you.' She growls.

He frowns slightly. She looks up with restful eyes.

'Do you know how long I've waited for this? Don't ruin it for me...'

He smiles gently.

[Dark Huntress]

Ramzy shrugged again. "It wasn funny, he said lightly,"If he dead found out...start measuring my coffin and tell Kyle he's heir to the estate again." Muttering low to himself, he turned over and fell asleep quickly dreaming of strawberry blonde hair and big pretty eyes.

*£*

Rowen blinked as she woke up. Morning already? she wondered before easing out of bed and washing her face. Moving quickly she laced up her stays and slipped on a dark green dress and tied her hair back with a matching ribbon. "Good morning!" She exclaimed to Eden.

[RedKite]

"I'm not being difficult, but, you're kind of killing my arm..." Septimus sighs as the sunlight streams past him.

Issabelle groans and pulls away tiredly. She gives him a shy smile before climbing down the tree to the ground.
He looks up and sighs before doing the same.

"So, you really DO have some emotion, then.." He comments, sarcasm edging his words.

She whirls around and pins him to the tree with her arm.

"Look, ok, last night NEVER happened, ok?" She growls.

"I'm glad you feel the same way..."

"I hate you..." She half laughs.

"I like you too!" He calls after her sarcastically.
