Crickets
1863
may 27th the plan
Olivander opens the door to four shocked faces. "We're going to be you!" "I'm sorry but did you not notice i'm black!" "Half black" Olivander adds Zachary glares at him. "And I have bright red hair!" "we've known eachother for TWO DAYS!" They say at the same time. I look at Olivander with an I told you so face. but then I start to feel my stomach turning when I think of my family again and look away from Olivander to pretend the floor looks very interesting. I look at Fiona again with pleading eyes. She understands and looks to Zachary with the same eyes. "Zachary we could just try it" "If we get caught we're dead" "Zachary please what if this is her last chance to see them again" She says trying to whisper but everyone heqrs and goes silent. A tear slips past my eye lashes but I wipe it away immediately.
Zachary contemplates it you can tell by how his eyebrows meet. "Why not I guess right?" Fiona hugs him and he looks surprised I was too it's like getting hugged by a bear. I don't look at Olivander I can't let him know he was right and if I looked i'm sure I'd feel the need to thank him but his ego does not need that. I just know he's smirking at me right now I can just feel it. "also yes I will of course cover for you" Maggie adds smiling. I'm happy about this of course I am but in the back of my mind I can't help think about how they listened to our whole conversation. Because to an outsider we both sounded almost like we wanted to get married, wich is not the case. It's not. Not at all!
"Cala?" "hello Cala?" Olivander says waving his hand in my face. "yes?!" I say grabbing his arm to make it stop moving. "they left to get dressed and frank went to the kitchens to steel butler cloths." I'm a bit confused by the end but don't question it. "so meet me by the front door with your stuff in twenty?" "Sure" I still feel rattled from it all like I fell down a flight of stairs then was expected to act like nothing happened.
I run to my room and pack a bag in record breaking speed. and run to the front door it hasn't evan been ten minutes and Olivanders already waiting there. Bag in one hand some unknown bottle in the other. wearing the most casual cloths I've ever seen him in evan more then at his Aunt Helens house. He evan has a knitted on his head. "how'd you have enough time to change and still beat me all I got was a sweater!" I yell to him as I clumsily walk down the stairs with my clunky bag.
He turns to me sipping his bottle. "And I went to the kitchens" he says waving it infront of me. "what evan is that?" I say still walking down the stairs. "Fire whisky want some?" he says smirking like he knows the answer. "you're really drinking we have so much to do your gonna get us caught!" "relax Cala i'm not evan drinking that much" I roll my eyes at him as we walk out of the castle together. On our way out I grab the box filled with letters.
We get in the carriage and a familiar face greets us. "Chester!" "Cala!" Olivander is staring at us looking very confused "how have you been it's been awhile?" "I have a girlfriend now" "really do I know her?" "yes!" he says grinning widly. My jaw drops when I relise who he's talking about "Jenny!?" he starts nodding frantically. Meanwhile Olivander is still looking very confused and bored by the whole conversation. "My sister incase you care" I say to him when we start driving. "Who said I didn't?" "Your face" His face changes instantly to an emotion I don't recognize.
"Thank you chester" I say as we hop out into the dark woods "thanks" Olivander says surprisingly. We walk in silence except for the crunching leaves beneath our feet. until Olivander suddenly breaks it. "Why do you think i'm so terrible?" "Why do you act so terrible?" "You thought I was before you evan knew me. You always just expect the worst from me." "Maybe so I wont get let down" he stops and turns to me it makes me stop too. "And when have I let you down?" "I don't want to have this conversation right now alots on my mind okay!?" that's not a lie but I would never want to have this conversation. I shoulder past him but he doesn't let me, stepping infront of me. "Answer the question we still have four hours until midnight" he says checking his watch I give up sitting on a log by my foot. He's not gonna let this go is he? Olivander sits infront of the clearing of trees my one escape.
I exhale a shaky breath from the cold and look up at him. He holds out the bottle of whisky and this time I take it. I squint my eyes at the bitter taste and hand it back to him. "First time?" he asks tauntingly "shut up" I start talking. "well lets start with you kidnapped me" "bullshit I know that's not why you act like you hate me" he says it like it affended him but his smirk says otherwise. "I just you haven't disappointed me necessarily. it's just somtimes I feel like the worlds against me." I pause "how so?" he asks tilting his head at me. "like everything I love I lose. Like I can't get close to anything or it will disappear. My Grandparents first then my aunt. But I also lost my Mum Dad and sister just not to death. Not yet at least"
My last sentence hit me like a train I knew I shouldn't have said it. I can feel the hot tears dripping down my cheeks a contrast to the cold but a nice one at that. I swallow sharply and continue "And now I've lost everything but the more I lose the less I miss my life." I laugh evan though it's not funny. The look Olivander is giving me makes me feel like I have to show him i'm okay evan though i'm not. I look up at the stars knowing what most are from Vinnia. "It's selfish I know but all I can remember is sadness. And i'm so done with being sad. So I thought if I push everyone away I wont be sad anymore because i'll have nothing to lose."
I look back down at Olivander the sky reflecting in his eyes making them glow. He's staring at me so intensely I don't relise whats happens next until his lips are already on mine. My hands are faster then my brain I guess and i'm instinctively pulling him closer my the collar of his shirt. My chest feels like it's glowing and tiny fireworks are exploding all throughout it. Olivander hand goes to the side of my face and the other one goes to the back of my neck somehow bringing me closer to him. He twists and plays with the hair on the back of my head and chills run up my spine. One of my hands find his hair and he growns quietly the sound making my stomach tingle. His hand glides down my back making me gasp and shiver. I know he did it on perpose to gain control over the kiss now that my mouths open to his.
But as soon as I finally forget about everything and start to actually kiss him back he's pulling away and standing up brushing himself off. Leaving me a flustered mess on a log. My hair I know is a giant puff ball not that it isn't always but I still am not ready to walk in my family home like this. Tear stained tangled hair swolen lips rosie cheeked mess. I look at Olivander and he looks evan better then normal his hair looks puffy like a fluffy cloud and his lips look no don't look at his lips what are you doing. And of course the moment I look at his lips he looks at me. Smirks his evil little smirk and asks "Are you to flustered to get up on your own?" He asks offering me a hand wich I obviously don't take. As much as I hate our bickering at least that won't ever change evan if everything else does.
I can see my parents cottage in the distance and the flower feilds and at least I have somthing to take my mind off the kiss evan though i'm not sure whats worse. I grab Olivanders hand and he flinches. "Jumpy much?" I say laughing he doesn't. I check his watch and I guess we were "talking" for an hour. "I didn't want to hold your hand" I say laughing as we step into the flowers. "how was I supposed to know you were just kissing me" "whoa whoa I think we're getting a little getting a little confused here you kissed me remember!" we're both laughing listening to the crickets chirping passing the bottle between us. "oh yeah and that wasn't you pulling me closer by my shirt and my hair." I go bright red. "You liked it though" "and how would you know" I mimic the groan from earlier but way over exaggerated. "oh shut up Cala you were the one shivering and We all know it wasn't from the cold" I look at him and he's also a blushing mess so at least i'm not alone in this. We get to the house it's almost pitch black and before we walk up the steps I turn to look at him fully. "Olivander I just wanted to say thank you" He looks confused and relise I should explain. "For caring. I wanted to thank you earlier but I was to stubborn and-" "Cala thank you for thanking me but we kind of need to hurry" "right yeah" I think a part of me is trying to put off knocking. I turn back to look at him. " I always knock" "it's your families house" "please" I say quietly. He rolls his eyes but walks up the steps.
