The Crows.

Chapter Nineteen- New home (2)

Damien P.O.V

I stud waiting as Darla unlocked the house , it looked pretty nice outside. Suddenly she stepped in and flicked on the lights, I glanced around....the walls a cream colour and the floor wooden. There is a brown sofa with a small tv in the middle of the far wall and to the right hand side was the stairs and the kitchen. The place looked huge.

" Wow." I said looking around.

" You like it ?" She asked watching me.

" Darla...I have an idea..." I said looking around " How many bedrooms ?"

" 3 bedrooms and a bathroom." She said frowning.

" Darla please.....I have an idea and I want you to be a part of this ....of the future." I said

" What idea ? What future ?" she mumbled frowning even more.

" The crows.....we need a new home..." I said " This town would be perfect."

" Where do I come in ?" She asked still frowning.

" Could we use this house and the others can buy their own." I said.

" You want to use MY house for your family." She snapped.

" OUR family ......Darla I am talking about our family...you belong with us." I said grabbing her hands suddenly.

" No Damien....I don't and we both know that.......I'm a witch.....i am one of those things that have spent years ripping YOUR family apart ....... I thought if I moved away then your family would be truly free of the curse that has been put there by my family." She said staring at me ,I could see tears in her eyes.

" Darla......You are nothing like them.....please everyone is worried about you.... And you are one of us." I said as I pulled her sleeve up to show her the mark "All the crows now have one on their wrists."

I pulled my sleeve up to show her the same mark on my wrist.

" The day after the witch was killed , all of the crows had this mark on their wrist....So seeing as you have one it means that you belong with us." I said smiling at her , then suddenly I pulled her into a hug and just held her tightly.

" Damien...." She said as I pulled away to look at her then suddenly my phone rang.

" Hello ?" I questioned.

" Damien." My father said.

" Father ?" I replied

" Any news ?" He asked.

" Yes....I have found her." I said watching Darla as she glared at me.

" Ok....I will be there soon." He said then the phone went dead , I smiled as I took her hand and pulled her to the sofa , I pulled her onto my lap and hugged her close to me.

" Who was that ?" She asked frowning.

" Doesn't matter." I said grinning.

A few hours later.....

I heard the doorbell go, smiling I got up and opened the door. In stepped my father and May.

" Darla." May said then she almost ran to her and tightly hugged her "Don't you dare run away young lady .....do you know how worried we have all been !"

I watched as Darla blushed at this.

" Good job son." Father said as he patted me on the back then walked towards Darla and May, I smiled as father then hugged her.

A few days later....

We had started to move everyone into the town , I made sure that Darla hadn't left my side the whole time.

" So how long do you think it will take to get everyone here." May asked as we sat in the living room.

" I'm not sure." I heard father say running a hand through his hair...he looked stressed, Darla came in and took a seat on my lap, I wrapped my arms tightly around her waist.I glanced down at Darla as she listened to the others, I couldn't help but smile at her , I had finally got her back and there was no way I was letting her go then suddenly I frowned thoughtfully.

" Damien ?" I heard a voice say. I glanced around to see my father frowning at me.

" Are you okay." I heard Darla ask and I looked down at her.

" Sure...Sorry zoned out slightly." I replied smiling. " Erm... father actually , is it okay if I have a word with you ?"

" Sure." He replied frowning still as I stud up still holding Darla then I placed her on the chair.

I walked towards fathers office , I opened the door and walked in , I heard the door shut behind me.

" What is wrong ?" Father asked.

" I....erm.....want to ask Darla to marry me." I blurted out suddenly ...why did I feel so nervous.

" Are you sure ?" He asked sitting at his desk.

" Yes.....the time we spent apart has made me realise how much I love her and I don't want to lose her again." I mumbled looking at the desk in front of me.

" I see , well when do you intend to ask her." He asked.

" I don't know yet." I mumbled " I need to get a ring first."

" Well son , I will help you ." He said smiling "First thing tomorrow , I want you to go shopping."

" Okay." I replied smiling back.

" Don't worry about it." He said.

I smiled then turned and walked out.

"So ..?" I heard a voice say behind me , I turned slightly to see May grinning.

" You know it's rude to listen in on important convocations." I replied smiling then she walked to me and threw her arms around me, hugging me tightly.

“Good luck." She mumbled then she let go and walked into the office.

“Going to need it.” I mumbled as I walked away to find Darla. A few minutes later I found her in the kitchen, the smell of baking filled the air.

“ What are you doing ?” I asked then I watched as she jumped nearly dropping what she was carrying.

“ I’m baking.” She said smiling as she placed the used bowls in the sink.

“ What you baking ?” I asked sniffing the air and sighing.

“ It’s a surprise.” She said as she began to wash up.

I grabbed the towel and started to dry up.
