Figment Awakening

Chapter 13 To Ethel

Harry and her eyes locked. Staring each other in the eyes and pouring out their soul. It felt like hours. W all just stood there and watched. We all knew harry as a leader, the one who kept us all in line. But now it was his turn for some kind of enjoyment. And frankly, we couldn't belive he could keep him self contained for that long.

The girl was a vampire. But she wasn't like the others. Instead of dead, empty eyes, we could see warmth, and love. Harry obviously saw the most love in those eyes.

The connection broke, " Uh, Hello, My name is Adela, and I'm not here to hurt you, I promise! At that maybe the opposite," she flashed a quick pointed toothed grin at Harry and then at us.

" I want to help you, my people were all wrong about their battle plan. I tried to stop them but they didn't listen. I'm so sorry that I couldn't help,"

"It's not your fault, you tried to help us and that's enough to give to you our shelter and food or anything you wish from us. We owe you, now. " Liam said.

The clear night sky was more than enough to make you want to have a good time. And we were, but it wasn't the same. We were away from home and we all missed it.

" Tonight is The Amplurio, What should we do to celebrate, Harry," Niall said.

" The Amplurio is the Festival of the Night, correct?"

" Yeah, and there is no reason why we can't celebrate, light the torches and clear this space! W will still have a nice Festival right here in the woods!" Liam said, more excited than I've ever seen him.

Everybody started moving tents and lighting torches and ironically, Niall had an old cassette player in his pack. There were to tapes. One of Frank Sinatra And another one of some random swing tunes. Not after long, there was a perfect dance floor.

We heard rustling in the woods. Harry looked, and with his 'super vision' he found something, " Hey, look over here, it's there rest of the Villa! All of 'em!"

They all came forward, mumbles of The Night Festival were wide spread. But soon, they all realized with the music and everything else, that this was the festival.

"Get your partner and let's BOOGIE!" Niall said like an American.

Everybody paired up and me and Zayn stood there. Being that Awkward couple. Just standing there, but after a couple minutes of standing there Zayn said, " Ethel, would you give me the honor of dancing with me at The Night Festival?"

"Of course I would, Zayn,"

His hand slipped into mine and we walked over to the cleared of ground.

" When was the last time you had this celebration?" I asked.

" We have it once in every season. it's usually a huge ordeal, we cook a whole pig over the fire. The Amplotudio and it's spouse get the first slow dance,"

" Who will I dance with?"

" Really anyone you choose until you marry,"

Our feet circled around. We outstretched our arms with one hand connected and closed back in again. When his hands touched mine, it was like nothing else was in existence. We looked into each others eyes, and that was enough to say I love you.

We kept on dancing. Everybody was having a great time. The swing cassette lasted for about an hour, after that we all sat down at a table made of a split in half tree and sitting on big rocks.

Zayn and I sat in the middle of the table on the two biggest rocks. Harry and Adela were sitting together, Louis was with some random girl of the Villa, Liam and Niall were just sitting there, being single.

I could hear them talking, " Us single guys, we got it right. Harry, pretty soon he'll be her little waiter, and Zayn will be under Ethel's shadow. Yep, we got it right!" Niall said, Liam just nodding on.

" Ok, ok!" Harry lifted his glass of wine, " I think that, even though this isn't our traditional Night Festival, it's been our best! To everything that was been thrown at us, but guess what, we got -"

" And to Ethel," Zayn interrupted.

" To Ethel!" everybody else said back. The entire lot took a swig of wine and ate the left over bacon and bread from the last morning we spent there.
