Silk In The Snow

Chapter 5 ~Theresa Nytefire~

Theresa

“You are so annoying!” I said slamming the door to my bedroom in Luce’s face,

“Fine be that way!” he yelled through the door,

“Don’t worry I will,” I called back we had just had another one of our well known fights,

“That didn’t sound too good,” Em said from the spare bed in the room, my room was even more bare than Luce’s I just didn’t care for wall art or anything. The only thing that was mine was the clothes in the wardrobe and the knives and a picture of Luce Xand and I on our first successful mission that was sitting on the bedside table.

“We fight all the time,” I said nonchalantly walking towards my wardrobe I pulled out a pair of black cargo pants and a black singlet, my dog tags still around my neck never letting me forget.

“Ah okay, not serious I hope,” she sounded a little nervous, I quickly pulled my singlet down over my lower back where I had a scar,

“Yeah mostly, this one was just about me being me I guess I seem to be the cause,”

“That’s not true!” she said strongly

I looked over my shoulder and gave her my best sarcastic look,

“Oh yeah it is,” I smiled at her,

“How did you get that scar?” she asked suddenly,

“Which one?” I laughed,

“On your lower back,” she looked at me eyes so full of innocence, if only she knew what I was,

“Hunting accident,” I said she didn’t believe me,

“Right,” she said with a disbelieving smile

“No it was just not the hunting you’re thinking about,” I winked, “Let’s go get some food,”

She smiled and followed me out of the bedroom.

We walked down through the dark cold corridors following the sweet smell of food,

“So, what did you and Luce get up to last night,” she said slipping me a smile,

I let out a short laugh and gave her a wink,

“No words needed,” she laughed,

“Nope,” I smiled as we pushed our way into the kitchen,

Joanne the head cook was bustling around the stove he ginger frizz hair was pulled back into a loose bun and her chief whites were marked and dirty, I hadn’t realised that Joanne was working at this house, she was at the house that Luce, Xand, me and our families originally shared so long ago.

“Joanne?” I said softly,

She turned around and beamed a beautiful smile, she was getting old but you could still see her beauty,

“Theresa?” she said coming forward to see me “Theresa!”

She wrapped me up in a massive hug,

“Nice to see you Jo,” I said returning the hug,

“My, my how yee grown!” she tittered in her Irish accent,

“Yeah just a bit,” I smiled,

“Come now, who do we have here?” she said pulling Em into a hug,

“This is Emaline Darkstar she’s staying here with us for a while,” I smiled introducing her

“Well, Emaline you are always welcome here, if you ever need anything then just give me a bell,” she grinned,

“Thank you,” Em smiled,

“You girls must be starving,” she gasped while continuing to bustle as she always does, “I’ll fix you some breakfast,”

“Thank you Jo,” I said sitting down at the bench and motioning for Em to join me, the kitchen was hot and filled with delicious smells and busy with the many kitchen staff employed here, I offered friendly smiles when they looked my way; yeah I was a class 1 bitch but they cook the food so best to be polite, who knows what they could do!

“Will Master Luceius and Master Xander be joining us?”

“No,” I said a little too coldly

She sighed and gave me a lasting look “You and Master Luceius have had yet another argument, am I correct?”

“You are correct,” I smiled smally, looking down at the bench top playing with a cut on my hand.

Aplogies about the slight character mix ups, all fixed now :)
