12. Self-confindence

Mal pov:
So the next morning I was in the boathouse by the lake.
Was this really all over again? Was everything normal again?
"Hey." Harry's voice sounded.
I turned around and chuckled.
"Hey, Harry."
"Everything okay?"
"Yes, it's as if everything is finally calm again."
"I thought you found quiet so boring?"
"But not after something like this... It could have turned out much worse. Believe me..." I said somberly.
"But it didn't."
"Something tells me something bigger is coming."
"Really- How do you get there like that?" Harry said surprised and partly relieved?
"Yes, Serina was up to something. She would never kill herself and the other vamps for an attempted murder of Skye and Zed."
"Oh, that's what you meant. I mean- Do you really think?" he sounded disappointed and I looked at him in amazement.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"N- No, I have to go."
Before I could say anything, he ran off.
I sighed and looked over the water again.
"There's more to come..."

Zed pov:
Harry just walked away from Mal and there was clearly something going on.
At the edge of the forest he threw something into the bushes and ran off.
I decided to see what he threw away and walked to the bushes.

After a while I saw a small red box.
"Shut the front door..." I mumbled in surprise.
I picked it up and opened it.
A silver ring with purple stone sparkled in the red velvet.
Without saying anything, I sprinted to the lodge with the box clamped in my hand.

I bumped into Cj, causing her to fall. I quickly helped her to her feet.
"Sorry, Cj. Hey, have you seen your brother?"
"He walked to his room... Why?"
I looked at Cj.
"I think he wanted to ask Mal something..." I whispered and I showed Cj the box.
"Oh Goblins! This is so great!"
"I know."
But before one of us could respond, Harry walked out again.
We quickly followed him.

I chuckled when I saw him looking by the bush where I had found the box.
We walked up to him.
"Have you lost anything?" Cj asked.
Harry looked up and shot to his feet.
"What!? No- What- Of course not!"
I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
"So this is not what you were looking for?" and I showed him the box.
"Damn! How do you get that?!"
He wanted to take it but I avoided it.
"Give that back!"
"When were you going to say you were planning something like that?" Cj asked.
Harry sighed.
"When I was sure when I would ask Mal."
I looked at him in amazement.
"What do you mean?"
"Yea?" Cj said, surprised.
Harry grabbed the box from my hand and put it back in his pocket.
"I don't know if I should ask her. At least not when."
"Dude, don't wait too long. This is great!!" Cj said enthusiastically.
I saw Skye walking a little further away and chuckled.
"I'll see you later."
Cj punched her brother to the shoulder and I walked over to Skye.

Skye pov:
Zed walked up to me and I looked at him in amazement.
"Hey, what was with the Hook family?"
"Oh nothing special."
"You're lying."
"It's not important."
"Sure... So, you're going to stay another week before you go back, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"When will I see you again?"
"Don't think about that too much. We have another week. We'll see how we stay in touch afterwards."
"Okay, but I think you better stop your sister before she attacks someone with... whatever is in that bucket."
"No, huh..."
Zed ran off and I saw that Harry was sitting against a tree.
"The wheels are spinning in my head. I'm stumbling with every step. I feel that beatin'in my chest. Can you hear it? The words are tangled up inside. Emotions trapped within my mind. Do I show my heart or do I hide? Can you see it?"
He sighed and I leaned against another tree.
He looked at... whatever he had in his hand.
"Am I crazy or mabey, this might be something real. Under the service and nerves and the logic. Do you feel what I feel? There's something 'bout the two of us. There's no denying, there's no denying. I'm hypnotized, it's such a rush. Don't want to hide it, don't want to hide it. Each breath, I'm trying to keep my cool. Each step, I don't know what to do. All the consequence is in the truth. If you only knew..."
"So you know Kaylee's song?" I said spontaneously and Harry was shocked.
"Damn, Skye. How long have you been there?"
"Long enough. What's going on?"
"Nothing."
"Liar. What does everyone have today?"
"Fine. I wanted to ask Mal something important but I don't think there is a good time or coming one."
"What do you want to ask her then?"
"Can't you guess?"
"If I could, I didn't ask."
"Is this a hint?" and he showed a small red box with a silver ring, with a purple stone.
"Oh. Yea, I get it..."
"Mal is just as happy that no big things or somethings are happening..."
"I think she meant as in that there are no people now who want to kill us."
"I've known Mal longer than that... She likes it when there is something to fight but when she says something like that she means it for everything."
"I'm not so sure. What are you waiting for?"
Harry looked at me uncomprehendingly.
"What do you mean?"
"Just ask Mal. If she really loves you, she says yes. I'm sure of that."
"But -"
"No! None but. Hurry up. Trust me with this. Okay?"
Harry sighed and stood up.
"Maybe you're right..."
"Yes duh-huh. And now you have to find Mal and ask her!"
He chuckled and ran off.
