Blood runs shallow

Runaway

The sky had filled itself with dark and stormy clouds. It cried along with me as I ran through the muddy path my boots and skirt ends getting splashes of light muddy brown. I stopped at the end of the road. I hadn't thought this through, where would I go ?. I considered going to my friends place but a noble should never ask for help. I frown as I realise there was only one place I could go. I walk through a path down the meadow. I see him my heart sinking, He was gathering the clothes off the make shift line hurriedly. The man that I could never have was now only a sprint away. I gather the layers of my skirt and raced through the meadow, he turns facing me. pausing for a moment. 

The rain fell heavily my exposed hands and face turning red as each drop slapped itself on to me but I wasn't bothered. He started running to me. My eyes well up in salty drops as I jump into his arms. "ISSAC" I say and then again in-between sobs but he doesn't reply only hugging me tightly and burying his head into my neck. His knees tremble then collapse as we fall to the ground still hugging each other. He was warm and smelt like vanilla and lavender. He opened his mouth but words struggled to form till he said " I missed you Sadie.. oh I missed you so much" "I missed you to Issac but now well never have to be apart again". That made him gather him self and pull away from the hug but still holding me close with a puzzled look on his face. "I ran away or more like I run away this is day 1" I giggled. His eyes go wide like saucers " YOU RAN AWAY !" I laugh at his expression " yes I have and I was hoping I could stay with you if it isn't much I can help clean and do taxes". Thats when the door creaked open from behind him. "You're always welcome dear, now both of you come in before you both catch a cold !". I smile "thank you Mr Fernsby" I say. "Please call me Nick" " Oh I couldn't possibly Mr Fernsby but thank you for allowing me such privilege".  I say  he shakes his head chuckling as he let me and Issac in. 

"SUPRISE!!!!!!" was all I heard till I fell tumbling to the ground with Issac. we both raise our heads to see Luke who's expression changed quickly as he realised what he had done. "Im so sorry Lady Sadie" "awnn my dear you dont have to apologise it was an accident heheh and I see you're exited to meet your brother" I smile as I get up and give Luke a little hug forgetting about my muddy clothes but none of them seem to mind. "Issac I made a cake for you with dad, im sorry lady Sadie its not anything special like your used to or the cakes you give me after school but your welcome to have some if you would like. "I would love too! " I say following them to the table which had been neatly arranged. Nick looks over at me and Issac worriedly "maybe we wait till Elijah gets back and you both can change into dry clothes im afraid either of you might catch a nasty cold" says Mr Fernsby. Issac nods as he leads me into the other room. "Im assuming that trunk has some clothes for you". I nodded he gestured to put the trunk on his work table. I open it revealing simple modest dresses and a few other possessions. "Perfect these wont make you stand out" then he looks at me flustered "N..not that you dont stand out you do" I laugh "I know what you mean love" he blinks at me for a few seconds and continues "well here's my wardrobe I don't have much so feel free to put your stuff in there. the bathroom is through that door. Il wait till you're done." I nod "Thanks again for taking me in" he smiles and chuckles "Thanks for choosing me over your luxuries" "anytime, was just waiting for you to get back". I wink at him grabbing a few things out the trunk hurrying into the bathroom.
