As Willy made his way through the forest to return home, he found himself thinking of Rose. He found it rather disappointing how he had to leave her. But, at the same time, he knew he'd be seeing her the next day. He could picture her face in his head.
Her silky yet pale skin he wanted to reach out and touch. Her long blonde hair that he wanted to run his fingers through. Her sparkling blue eyes he wanted to stare into for eternity. And those lips... those cherry red lips that he had the overwhelming urge to taste.
Willy was so lost in thought that he didn't see Harry emerge from within the trees. Luckily, Chocolate did and she stopped, nearly knocking Willy off of her. "Whoa, girl" Willy said, patting her gently. "What's wrong-- oh, it's you"
"Hello, Ichabod" Harry greeted.
"What do you want with me?"
"I see you've become acquainted with Rose" It was nearing nightfall, but that didn't mean Willy couldn't see the possessive flash in Harry's eyes. "And I'm going to tell you this right now. Stay away from her"
"I don't think so. She invited me to see her again tomorrow. Now, if you'll excuse me" Willy tried getting Chocolate to move, but Harry grabbed the reins, preventing her from moving. Willy glared at Harry. "Let go of my horse!"
Harry ignored him. "Rose is to be my wife and I will not have someone like you get in the way of our love"
Willy snorted. "Well it must be one sided because Rose never mentioned you or her love for you"
That only angered Harry further. He let go of Chocolate's reins and instead reached up and grabbed Willy by the collar of his shirt. He pulled him down so that they were eye level. "Listen closely to me, Ichabod because I'm only going to say this once. You will stay away from Rose or else I will not hesitate to cut your throat with my dagger" Harry chuckled darkly. "Nothing would bring me more pleasure than to see your blood staining the ground"
Willy gripped Harry by the wrists and pulled his grip off of his shirt. "Your threats don't scare me. Is it so hard for you to understand that she wants nothing to do with you? If she tells me that you lay even one single hand on her, you're going to regret it. That, I can promise you"
Willy had never used that kind of tone with anyone in his life, not even his father. But, no one had made him angrier than Harry. And the fact that Rose was the one on the receiving end of his stalking and harassment, Willy felt the need to protect her.
He let go of Harry, and grabbed Chocolate's reins once again. He gave Harry one more warning glare, one that even made Harry's spine shiver, before racing off back home.
Harry was seething. He would need to do something about Ichabod Crane.
