The forsaken (Rainimator book4)

proposals

POV Stella

Rain was waiting for me, the same as ever, he was sitting on the bench, playing with a book, I say playing because he less reading and more colouring in, but gosh damn, he looks so cute doing it. He hadn't noticed me approaching yet. 

I walked up behind him, threw my arms around his shoulder and rested my head on his shoulder. "what'ou doing?" I asked.

"just trying to finish this colouring book Lyria gave me," Rain said adding colour to a cartoonish cow.

"aww thats sweet," I said. "What's the plan today?" 

"Nothing much," Rain said putting his hands in his pocket, and pulling out a ring. "just a question," he said, before raising the ring. "you want to marry me?" he asked, looking up with a smile. 

I let out a squall. "YES!" I yelled almost falling over the bench, but Rain stopped me, took my hand put the ring on my finger. 

POV Charlie

my heart was racing, 100s of thoughts raced through my mind, did that really just happen? Was Crystal there on one knee, with a ring in her hand, or was this all a dream brought on by exhaustion? Don't think Charlie said something

"Yes!" I blurted out. "Yes, of course, a 1000 times yes!" 

things happened quickly around us, Meeps sneaked her self out of the room, thinking she went unnoticed, the wall next to Ember caught fire, his face showing shock, Lyria let out a squeal of joy. 

William had a dime smile as he put the fire, Hilda had a smug smile on her face as she'd just won a bet, Moon bounded over, her injured arm forgotten. "what kinda place do you want it? how many people! I need to start planning it!" 

"how do you have a wedding? underwater? and what is a wedding?" Shizuku asked. 

I put my finger up to say something to Shizuku but Crystal's mum beat me. "congrats you two," she had something in her voice that made me worried a lot. 

"I could marry you both now," Hilda started. "as a General in the frostbourne I have the power to marry you both now," 

"NO!" To my surprise, it wasn't only Crystal but Moon and Lyria yelling. 

"alright, alright," Hilda said stepping back. 

"I haven't had much in the way of...Life, I missed out on my childhood, I missed out on having a family, I want to have a wedding, I proper wedding fall of people," Crystal said. 

"And we'll make sure it's a good one," I said hugging her. 

"a perfect one," Moon said. 

"Can I stab something yet?" Shelia asked. 

"how about this," I said. "during the wedding, why don't you stand by the door and stab anyone who tries to interrupt it?" 

"Works for me," Sheila said. 

Moon dragged Crystal out of the room, wanting to make sure it was planned, Hilda was trying to explain to Shizuku what was happening, and Lyria was quite literally bouncing off the walls in excitement, her Elytra was fluttering around the room. 

"you alright?" I asked Ember. 

"yeah," Ember muttered. 

"Remember you need to talk, I'm here," I said.

the doors opened and Patrick walked in. "Charlie, My office," he said before leaving again. 

"What did you do?" Ember asked.
