Time Away From Others (for Phoenix)

[Phoenix Rose]

Occ: K I was not sure where to go. But we can keep this up for just the two of us if you wish as well. Just to keep the story going if you like. I will be back on later as well. to post a reply.

[Bayden Celestborn]

They had left the manor and were now heading to her cave. It wasn't that far from where they had first met in the gardens. Not from what he remembered her saying. This would be a good time for them to just spend time away from everyone else. She had met quite a few of the people living at Hero's place already. There was still a few more that she hadn't met but in time she would meet them all. He knew that already. He walked hand in hand with Phoenix. Not saying anything but sometimes they knew what each other was thinking. He was thinking about how it would feel to teach her what he knew about dancing. About what it would be like to dance with her.

It was a nice night out. As Phoenix held Bayden's hand. "It not far now." I think your brother seemed nice from what it seemed anyway. though I think he was tried." I feel so loved with all of you now. I am glad to be a part of it. I hope you are as well. The cave is not much to see but you are more then welcome to come in if you like. I think as well your brother would be a great friend, once we get to know each don't you?" Phoenix could see that when she called him dear he blushed, it was cute. as they continued there walk though the gardens, towards her cave which was another few feet away. Once they got to got the cave she wanted to hold him close to her again. She also wanted to kiss him. She wondered what it would be like to kiss him. But she also wanted him to feel comfortable around her as well. The smell of the gardens around and the smell of her cave it did smell like her. She led to the front of the dwelling of her cave.
Once inside the moon above shined in giving its light inside so they could see each and around the cave which as she had told him was not big. But big enough for the two of them to spend time here before they went back. Her dresses hung on a tree hanging system on the right wall. her jewelry box and smaller items on a small wall stone shelf on the left. The perfume he had given to her on what looked like an small table. On the east of the dwelling of her cave was small family pics of her mother and father before he passed away hanging on the walls. On the south side of the dwelling a large enough space where if he and she wanted to they could dance above it was a opening above it that the moon shined in from. On a bookshelf her mother had given to her made of Oak. Though it had been in the family for some time there where books and magazines.

Outside the dwelling of her cave were of course the animals that lived here in the gardens of course. On another side table there lay a note from her mother. I am very happy for the two of you. I know in time I will meet your love and the person that you will one day have a long and happy life with. I love you Phoenix and take care and i shall hopefully visit you all soon. I have gone to live somewhere else as you know but you will always find me in your thoughts and in your heart, all you have to is call. And I will come. then at the bottom of the note it said Bayden i hope to meet you soon please take care of my daughter, and I will love you as part of my daughters life and as a son. I love you both. Love From MOM. Phoenix picked up the note and read it, then passed it to Bayden so he could read what it said to him from her mother. Also beside the note was both her mother's engagement ring along with her wedding ring she meant that Bayden was to give to once they got to know each and fell in love and wanted to one day tie the knot. The it said P.S Bayden take these rings as a token from a foolish old mother, for one day to give to my daughter on your hopeful wedding day. But keep them as a secret from her till that day. Please I wish for her to have them as I no longer are in need of them. Also included his her fathers ring for you.

Bayden looked at her as she began speaking again. Nodding his head. Cavan could be nice but he could also be very wild. He was like night and day with his twin brother who was the second of a set of triplets. He wondered what Analia was up to and how she would react to Phoenix. He wasn't sure where Analia was concerned. She was very opinionated and made her own judgments on people. Even if at times they were wrong judgments. He looked at her and shrugged. "Don't know." He said honestly. Following her into the cave and looked around. He looked at her as she seemed to be lost in thought for a long moment. Which then gave him time to look around even more.

He took in the scene of the cave and smiled a bit. It looked really nice inside. He was still really glad she was coming to leave at the manor with them. Hero had taken a shine to her from what he had seen. From what he could tell the man was already quite attached to his adopted daughter. He looked around as he waited and then saw out of the corner of his eye her reading something. His gaze went to her as she handed him the note. He read it and blinked a bit. How did her mother know about him? Where was her mother? It brought so many questions to his mind. None of which did he have answers to.

He looked at the box and picked it up. Slipping it into his pocket and would do as the mysterious mother of Phoenix bade him to do. He wasn't quite sure how things would turn out with him and Phoenix but her mother seemed to be quite the romantic. Just the feeling he got from the note and the request she had made of him. He would look at the rings themselves later. He took Phoenix by the hand and led her over to the area that they could dance in. He took her left hand and put it on his shoulder. Taking her right and put it at his waist. He then took her waist in both of his hands. This causing him to blush a bit.

He began to move them around in a slow motion dance. It was like the waltz but different. Several forms of slow dancing mixed into one which his father had told him was an elven dance. He moved her slowly as if to a tune in which possibly only he could hear. He wanted her to enjoy the dance. He moved extra slow so she could start to learn the moves. If she messed up he would shake his head and demonstrate it again. Then start their dance all over again.

Phoenix held his hand and put her other arm around him. Holding him close. And listening to his instructions or watching where he stepped. Only a few times she messed up and would have to start again, but then she caught on. When ever she did mess up she would always say "let's try it again please." But each time she got it right she would blush. But in a good way. There was no music of course but there was music in both of there hearts. It did not matter of the time, all that mattered to her is that he was here with her.

As for Phoenix mother yes she was the type to be romantic like that. she just had a feeling no matter whom her daughter fell in love with he was right for her. And though she was not living here. She always knew in her heart that her daughter would make it in the world. She of course had sent a letter as well to Bayden's parents for them not to hate her. For once she was just as normal as any child. And that just because she was a vampire was not a reason to be cold or for there son to not be worthy of her daughter. She also said to them that yes she was turned into this horable creature that that most hated or disliked, but her daughter was once before the change happened was just as human as all others. she was gentle and loving, kind and sweet. And that she would love anyone for what was on the inside and not for there looks on the outside. She would someday maybe come and meet them as well. but with her husband now gone and having to live else where she would not know when that would take place. Her mother even went into detail of saying please just treat my daughter like your own. Love her, as if she was the same as you. Care for her like your own. And please whatever you do, look past what she looks like on the outside. i wish my daughter all the world, but I can no longer give it to her. I have not given up on her, nor should you. take her into your hearts as I have mine. From one parent to another. I know that if the role was reversed I would do the same for yours. Your son deserves the love my daughter can bring to him. Let them have this chance and a life. I will treasure you each as if you where her parents. Signed Maxine Storm the mother of Phoenix.
