Brinna

Brinna had heard word from Ian that he had located Lillith in the keep of Robert Campbell's clan.. safe and sound and that he was going to try and convince her to return home but that had been weeks ago.. she was growing restless wanting her children home..

she hadnt heard from Andrew sence Logan had returned to his keep and she could only prey that all was going well with him and that Logan didnt decided to use him as a hostage to gain the land his people wanted because if they did so then She and Andrew would have no choice but to ask Asher to give it over to save there son's life..

She wondered how Asher, and her nephew were doing.. they had lost alot of men fighting Logans over the years.. and his and Andrews father had lost men over the same peace of land.. she looked from the letter she had from Ian it was now faded from her folding it and opening it reading it over and over.. Andrew was asleep in there bed.. nether of them able to make a move just yet one way or another until they heard from there children..

 

[Josu_T]

Robert had let Ian go when they had finished talking. He was fairly confident in the decisions that had been made and how things would turn out. He would tell both Lillith and Ian the next day that he was the son of the lord of that clan. He first needed sleep though. He started off to his room to get some rest.

When he entered the room he went to his bed, but he noticed something that was laying there. He took a look at it and soon realised what it was, Lillith's flute. He sat and took it in his hands. He started to think about what might be between the two of them and why Lillith would leave this in his room. Then he realised that maybe she had left it because she had left to go elsewhere. He jumped up and grabbed his sword, knowing danger may be out there for her. He ran toward the village, taking a handful of his men as well.

As they reached the village they found Ian on the ground. They took a look at him and found he was only unconsious. They woke him quickly. Ian's eyes opened and he groaned. Robert immediately asked him what had happened. It took a few minutes for him to respond, but Ian told them all he knew. Robert waited until Ian felt a little better before they decided they they would go after her immediately. Ian drank some water and though his head still hurt a little, he started tracking and the others followed him, staying alert and ready for anything.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew continued to rub against Mora. It felt so nice. He could feel the warm folds of her vagina moistening, getting wetter with every passing moment. He used the juiced to make his cock slick. He moaned almost continuously. He enjoyed her body moving against him. He smiled at her as he shifted slightly. The simple movement let the tip of his penis press up against her, ready to enter. It sat there between her soaked lips. The heat was intense. He leaned in to kiss her. As their lips met, he thrust in slowly. His hard shaft slowly entered Mora.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew Sr. had troubled dreams, but they were dreams that helped him make a decision. When he woke he knew what he needed to do. He could not just sit there and do nothing. He had a feeling that Lillith was in trouble. He went immediately to the barracks. He ordered his men to move out and head toward the Campbell clan. They were not to enter any vllages, but be around that area for when they would be needed. Andrew was certain they would be useful there. He had his best warriors go to be at the disposal of Ian, Lillith, or Robert Campbell, whoever needed them. His strongest commander led them. Once they were aware of their orders, he went to go tell Brinna of what he was doing.

 

[LittleSprite2]

The MacGregor didnt trust the man infront of him a former Campbell nor the men with him, brigaids and theives, but then he trusted no man.. The prize he brought before him however was a valuable one.. Many had been searching for The Buchanan lass for a long while now.. the question was did he keep her for ransom against her family or use her against his enemy Robert Campbell?... twas an interesting choice.

He took the girl from the man and sent him on his way.. the way the girl held herself the defiant angery look in her eyes stired his blood as well as sevral others.. he knew she was the Buchanan's lass. He had seen them once at the festival gatherings a few years ago.. both she and her mother had dressed as men and traviled with there brothers and husbend.. there fighting skills from what knew of them were almost as good as the mens, and from the look in her eyes he was glad she was still bound.

He walked over to her and tilted her chin up to look at her.. Yer a bonny lass Lillith Buchanan.. ohh Aye i kin who ye are.. and ive a decision ta make on what ta do with ye.. He kissed her then hard nearly cutting her lip on his teeth she struggled and he pulled away laughing as he released her bonds and set a guard outside her room to keep her locked in as he left.. he tossed over his sholder.. ahh yer tempting lass and full of spirit.. may hap i can get a reward from yer clan fer yer return after i've used ye to draw out and kill Campbell....from what ive been told the two o ye were quite close...

Lillith didnt speak just watched him go wondering what he had ment.. The Liard of campbell had been kind to her but would not risk anything for her he was an old man and had ment well and she had become friends with one of his best soldjers and had grown to love Robert but .. she paused love... did she love him? .. she thought about it as she sat down in one of the chairs near the harth in the bed chamber.. aye she did.. but she had been so foucused on trying to keep his clan safe and getting away that she hadnt reolized she felt anything more than friendship... and now it was too late.. he would not come for her..

Ian... Ian would come.. if he lived he would get help, and come for her.. she just had to hold off the MacGregor until then...
........................................................................

Mora felt him enter and brought her legs up to help it felt good until he had breached her maiden head.. she cryed out and held still bitting her lip to try and hold back any further cry she saw his worried face as he started to ask if she were alright.. she swallowed and said.. Aye i am fine the pain is easing now.. do ? do we stop or go on??

 

[Josu_T]

Ian and Robert tracked the movements of Lillith's kidnappers all through the night. Neither of them was willing to rest until they found out where she was and could make a plan. However, neither expected to arrive on MacGregor lands. Robert explained the current situation with them to Ian. They decided to set up camp just outside the clan borders. They would sleep for a while and then make a plan in the morning. They sent in one scout to find out any information they could get.

Andrew Sr's men traveled fast to get into the area they were meant to be in. They then started to do a search for any and all information on their lord's children and the Campbells. When they ran into some men attacking a small village, they rushed in to help. They killed half of the attackers, but captured the others. They would take them to the Campbells and let them be dealt with there.

As the day went on, the men continued travelling around the area until they finally found Ian and Robert Campell on the edge of MacGregor lands. They brought in the prisoners and woke Ian and Robert. Both men were surprised to see fifty of Ian's clan members there ready for battle. They first interrogated the prisoners who happened to be some of those that had kidnapped Lillith. They discovered the plan about giving her to MacGregor. That made both Ian and Robert angry.

The scout returned and told them the situation within the enemy clan lands. That was when Ian, Robert, and the commander of the troops that had been sent by Andrew Sr. sat down and started to make a plan. They would not wait long. They would move soon. The attack would happen before dinner and hopefully before MacGregor even considered doing anything to Lillith. They hoped they had the element of surprise on their side. They had acted fast and prayed that it would pay off.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew Jr. looked into Mora's eyes and saw the pleasure suddenly turn to pain. As she cried out he became worried. He stopped himself immediately and just held himself exactly where he was. He did not want to cause any more pain for her. He began asking if she was ok when she told him she was and that the pain was going away. He worried a little less. She asked if they should stop or continue. He really wasn't sure. He looked into her eyes and spoke softly. "It is up to you. If you want me to continue, I will. If you want me to stop, I will stop right away. It is your choice." He kissed her cheek and waited for her response. As he did, he pulled her a little closer. This ended up sending his cock a little deeper into her. He watched her eyes for any signs of pain.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Lillith hadnt seen anyone accept a maid who had brought her a change of clean clothing and a bath sence the MacGregor had left for which she was greatful. She had no means to escape the chamber the drop out the window from the chamber she was in was too high and sheer a drop, and the only exit was locked and guarded.

there were few wepons with in the chamber she could use to defend herself if she needed such as the water picture and basson.., mayhap one of the chairs they had removed the fire pokers and anything else from the chamber she might have found truly useful.

she was dressed in a green gown now and waiting pacing the chambmer wondering what the MacGregor's decison would be, and prayed he would ransome her to her family with out harming her, but she knew that was a foolish hope..

The maid returned with a trey of food for her and quickly left The MacGregor would probably come here after the evening meal and she had best be as prepaird as she could to defend herself..

to her suprise and delight the maid had left an eating dagger on the trey it wasnt much but it was something..
..............................................................

Mora had been thinking that maybe they should stop but remembered the other women saying it only hurt the first time if they had the right man.. but she wasnt sure.. he left the choice hers and opened her mouth to say stop until she felt him move and moaned with suprised plesure insted.. danna stop .. tha didna hurt that time.. lets.. see what.. happens...

she said kissing his neck sholders and anywhere she could reach while slidding her hands over his back inbetween her words.. each movement making the pain she had felt momentarily disapear and start to rebuild the sensations she had felt before but stronger now more urgent..

 

[Josu_T]

Andrew waited patiently for Mora's decision. From the look on her face it seemed like she was going to say stop, but then she suddenly moaned and told him not to stop. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her softly. She kissed anywhere she could. Her hands rubbed his back. He started to moved again, slowly and gently. He gradually pushed deeper, but not too far, then pulled back out again. He watched her eyes for pain. He didn't see any, just pleasure, and that made him happy. He very gradually picked up the speed of his rhythmic thrusts, but they were still very slow.

-------------------------------------------------

As the time for the main attack neared, Ian, Robert and their men closed in on the village. The first target was the barracks. It was near the keep and once they took it, they would not need to worry about a large counter attack. They rushed it just at around dinner time, coming out of the wilderness and moving the the shadows of buildings. They took down the guards as silently as possible and entered the building. The element of surprise was theirs. They caught the MacGregor soldiers off guard. Each one was removed of any waepons and tied up. Ian, Robert, and a few of their men then dressed as MacGregor soldiers, but with slight differences so they could be recognised by allies.

A short while later, the men not disguised moved and started a fake attack on the village. The keep opened up and some guards emerged. An alarm bell was raised. Ian, Robert, and the handfull of others, ran to the keep. They got inside and split up immediately. Robert went to find out where Lillith had been placed. Ian and a couple of his men went to find MacGregor and keep him occupied long enough for Robert to find and escape with Lillith. The other men went to deal with any guards left inside the keep.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Lillith could hear the sounds of fighting and thought that she wouldnt have to worrie about the MacGregor until the battle was over.. thinking she wouldnt have a better chance to escape however she used the picture of water that had been left for her to use for cleaning herself she checked to see if her guard was still outside the door or had gone to join in the fighting..

He was still there.. now the question was could she open the door and hit him with the picture fast enough.. she thought of using the dagger she carried but it was only and eating knife and she wanted to save it for later if it became truly necessary.

luck was on her side.. the picture smashed over the guards head an he crumbled to the floor at her feet bits of pottery lay scattered all over the floor.. she stepped over him and would have continued on down the corridor but heard foot steps running up the stairs and so ducked back in behind her door inside the room..

She readied the knife in her hand so that she could jump whoever entered the room as they passed her by..

 

[Josu_T]

Robert was lucky enough to have recieved info about the MacGregor keep from one of the catrued soldiers. He had a good idea of where Lillith would be held within the fortress. He ran fast through the corridors. He had his sword drawn, but didn't run into any guards. When he turned the corner of another hallway, he saw something that surprised him. there was a man laying on the floor with pottery shards around him. He slowed as he neared the room. When he turned into the doorway he hoped he was not too late.

Ian waited down in the main hall. His men spread out around the keep to find and challenge MacGregor for Ian. All Ian had to do was prepare himself and wait for his opponent to appear. He didn't intend to kill the man, because that would potentially start a full war between the clans. He did not want that. He just wanted to keep MacGregor occupied, knock him out or disarm him and then get out once news that Lillith had escaped arrived.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Lillith didnt see who entered the room as he passed her all she saw was the back of his head.. she moved silently and swiftly comming up behind him her arms wend around him the one holding the dagger at his throat.. Danna move, and if ye wish ta live ye'll let me leave with out any trouble...

She felt the man tense but he didnt move it was then she noticed that the plad he wore didnt match the MacGregors but insted was that of the Campbell clan.. she slowly removed the dagger from the mans throat and said one word..as he turned to face her.. Robert ?

 

[Josu_T]

Robert ran into the room and saw that it was empty. He was about to turn around and continue searching for Lillith when someone grabbed him from behind and placed a knife at his throat. He could tell from their size and stature that they were either a woman or a small man. When they spoke he recognised the voice and smiled. It was Lillith. He waited for her to realise it was him, and not an enemy. He tensed up, just in case she did try to do something. He could attempt tossing her, or tripping her. He may still get a cut, but it wouldn't be as major.

A moment later he felt the grip on him loosen. He smiled as the knife was taken away from his neck. He turned around to look at her. As he did, he heard her say his name. He was happy she was ok and immediately reached out and placed his hands on her arms. "Yes, Lillith, its me. Your brother and I came to rescue you. I also need to return your flute to you, you forgot it when you left." He grinned and then pulled her into a hug. He held her there for a long moment before releasing her. He didn't even think about what he'd done, he was just very happy to see her safe and couldn't hold back his desire to hold her, if only for a moment.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Lillith was happy he and Ian both had come for her his actions in doing so and the breif hug he had given her had shown his caring but her heart nearly broke at the thought of his returning her flute for she thought he only saw her as a friend or in a sisterly mannor, and so kept her own feelings to herself as she followed him from the room.

They had to get to safety and find her brother so that she could return home to her family and face her parents knowing she fully deserved what ever lecture or punnishment they would decide upon.. altho she couldnt quite regret having met Robert.. and maybe they could become allies threw hers and Ians friend ship with Ian and the Liard

....................................................

Mora screamed and ducked tryed to hide as much of herself as she was able when the bedroom door was kicked open to reveil her brother standing in the door way.. Get dressed both o ye.. tho it pleases me that ye'll wed and sute one another.. tis too late.. i've been challanged fer cheifton ship and will have ta fight..

Mora gasped as she understood her brothers meaning, unless he won the fight and kept leadership of the clan there was a chance for peace but if he lost then the people would turn on them and there would be no chance at peace..

Logan looked at Andrew and said.. I want ye ta take Mora and go to yer clan .. keep her safe.. if i fail they'll come fer ye and the'll be war... but if i win i'll send a messenger i turst.. ta tell ye that the day ye two marrie peace will be between our clans as long as i live..

 

[Josu_T]

Robert smiled and took Lillith by the hand. A moment later the smile was gone, but he held the grip. He started to pull her out of the room and down the hallway. After they were running, he let her go. He turned to look at her once and call out a quick command. "Follow right behind me. Let me handle anyone that comes along. Hopefully we don't run into anyone though." He ran full speed until they were back on the bottom floor. He then led her through the corridors toward the exit.

Ian turned as he heard someone enter the room. It was MacGregor. Ian stood tall and brandished his sword. MacGregor did the same. They both entered fighting stances and Ian waited. MacGregor made the first move, rushing toward Ian. The duel began. Ian's men stood in the doorway watching, knowing not to interfere, but to be listening for the call that Robert had escaped with Lillith. It lasted only a few minutes. when Ian was able to knock the sword from MacGregor's arm. Just as he stood over the man, his men called and told him that Lillith and Robert were on their way out. Ian took MacGregor's sword from the ground and ran out of the room. His men blocked the enterance after he left so MacGregor couldn't attack him from behind. Ian lef the keep to go to the point where he would meet up with Lillith and Robert.

--------------------------------------------------

Andrew was surprised when he heard a loud slamming noise on the door. It swung open and he pulled blankets over himself and Mora. He pulled out of her and moved to sit next to her, his arms around her. He saw her brother there and was worried he would be furious. He looked for where any weapon could be while waiting for the man to speak.

He was told to get dressed, then he said he was pleased, which surprised Andrew. Then it made sense. He had been challenged. That was bad. He listened to Logan telling him to take Mora with him. He nodded. He got up with a sheet wrapped around himself, leaving a blanket around Mora. He quickly put on some clothes and then went over to Logan. "I will take good care of your sister and make sure she stays safe. I wish you luck with the challenge. Fight hard. I hope that some day I will see you again and be able to proudly call you my brother."

 

[LittleSprite2]

Lillith and Robert made it safely from the keep only haveing to fight one or two guards along the way, but none with Roberts or even Lilliths skills.. once they reached the point of safety where they waited for Ian Lillith watched ancsously for him.. running too him and throwing herself in her brothers arms for a few moments he held her fast.. and then turned to face Robert and the others..

well go our seprate ways now... he wont be so keen to devide his forces and chace after both of our partys... Lillith has agreed ta go home and speak with our family.. which is a great releaif..May our paths cross again some day... if ye ever have need of me or our clan ye have only ta send ta the Buchanan's and we will awncer the call.. Ian said extending his hand in friendship and trust to Robert before helping Lillith mount.

Lillith spoke to Robert next.. i want to thank ye fer all ye did fer me and fer comming with Ian ta free me.. our clan will know what ye did and will na ferget.. when it looked like Robert was going to give her back the flute she tryed not to cry and said.. please.. danna .. i mean i left it fer ye.. keep it.. and turned her mount to ride on ahead with the rest of there clan members..
Ian following soon after..

When it was safe to camp for the night Ian gave lillith some mens clothing and returned her bow and arrows along with her sword, which made her feel a bit more like herself.. she tryed to keep a cheery face but Ian knew her better.. she missed Robert already.. and was worried about what there mom and dad would say, but yet glad to be going home and releaving there worrie..

Her hair was longer now and no longer as short as it had been when she had first cut it off, but still not quite as long as it had been.. she curled up and mannaged to find some sleep it was a long ride home.

.........................................

Logan mearly grunted and nodded his head in agreement, not sure how to respond at first saying only.. Take care o' her and we will na ha any problems atween us.. ye must get out o here now..i'll stall till morning but that is all i can give ye.. ride hard and fast... was all he said as he turned to leave the room..

Mora scarmbled out of the bed then and tryed not to cry as she watched her brother go.. I'll go get some cloths and meet ye in the stables.. she said torn between staying to support her brother and doing as he said and going with Andrew.. but in the end she knew she would leave as he wished altho she felt numb at the possablity of her brothers death on the morrow..

She dressed quickly and threw some things she didnt want to leave behnind as well as a change of clothing into a bag and met Andrew down in the stables ready to go..

 

[Josu_T]

Robert was glad to see Ian returning unharmed as well. The plan had worked flawlessly. He was very glad that it had gone so well. He watched the sibling reunion and smiled. He listened to Ian's words and nodded. He had a more important focus though. He turned to Lillith.After she spoke, he held out her flute. He hadn't expected what she did next. He was soon left, still holding the instrument. He looked down at it for a moment before turning and going with his men to return home.

On his way back home he thought a lot. He thought mostly about Lillith. He carried the flute the entire way. When he got back to his keep, he tried to play it. It didn't sound nearly as good as when she played it. He fell asleep and had dreams of her. When he woke, he knew what he needed to do. He packed some of his things and carried the flute in his hands. He took his horse and started a journey to the Buchanan lands.

-------------------------------------------

Andrew nodded and promised Logan he would protect Mora. He looekd at Mora as she left to get clothes. He ran to the stables and quickly prepared two horses. He was just finishing when Mora entered with some of her things. He smiled at her and silently helped her onto one of the horses. He then got onto the other. He handed her an old cloak he'd found that she could wear to hide who she was until they got out of her clan's lands. He had a cloak on already. He then signaled to her that they should go, not wanting to speak in case anyone heard their voices and recognised them and raised any sort of alarm. He signaled for a light trot to start, not to race out as fast as they could. Once they got close to the edge of the village they could pick up speed. That would bring less attention to them.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Mora stayed quiet understanding the need for silence as they made there way from the keep and road away from her brother..

It was early morning the next day when they arrived at the Buchanan holdings she looked over at Andrew a bit worried about her reception as well as her brothers fate... she tryed not to worrie about him and what might happen.. but she knew wether she was welcome here or not Andrew would keep his word to her brother and she would be safe.

They would know tomorrow or the next day wether or not her brother survived the challage he was at that moment facing.. What will yer family think o me?? she asked to distract herself from her brother.. as they dismounted in the court yard.. and a beautful dark haired woman who could be none other than Brinna Buchanan walked out to greet them and to Mora's suprise and delight embrassed her in a hug and welcomed her.

Brinna turned to Andrew next and hugged him as well.. Tis good yer back ye've been missed.. welcome ta ye as well lass i am glad yer ta be apart o the family.. come inside and lets get ye both settled.. altho there will be separate rooms till the wedding.. Andrew yer Da is in the training yard wi the men he'll want ta see ye and give ye news o yer brother and sister..

With that Brinna stole Mora away into the keep and making her feel at ease altho she didnt know what had brought them early she would know from ehter of the Andrews soon enough.. but for now she could see the girl was tired and needed a bath as well as rest.

If all went well then Ian and Lillith according to the messanger they sent ahead before Ian and Robert went to rescue Lillith then they would be home tomorrow or the day after..
..........................

Lillith and Ian were at least 3 days ride ahead of Robert.. she was beginning to feel more at ease and rleaxed when she begain recognized Buchanan land in a day or two they would be home and she would see her family again..

she missed Robert and knew it would be a long time before seeing him again if ever.. he was a friend he had made no furhter interest in her known.. and like wise aside from leaving him her flute she had said nothing ither.

 

[Josu_T]

When they arrived in familiar territory, Andrew smiled over at Mora. They had rode hard through the night to arrive and he was glad to be home. He heard Mora ask what his family would think of her. He was sure they would all love her. He didn't need to answer her because his mother did it for him, with a big embrace. Andrew smiled.

When his mother hugged him, he returned the embrace. He recieved instructions to see his father and nodded. Before Mora could be pulled away from him, he hugged her and gave her a quick kiss. He whispered in her ear before letting her go. "My mother loves you. So will the rest of my family." After watching her go into the keep, he went to find his father.

He met the older man in the training area. They hugged and then started to discuss the recent events. Andrew jr. spoke of his entire adventure with meeting Mora. He then listened as Andrew Sr. spoke of what he knew of Lillith and Ian. He explained about the men he had sent. They had not recieved news yet, but expected to soon.

 

[LittleSprite2]

The next morning Ian the clans men that were with them and Lillith road into the bally at full pace with some wounded men in there party having been set up on by Mora's kinsmen with the message that her brother was dead and that she should be returned to her clan..

they had a fortnight to return her or twould be yet one more reasion aside from the land they fought over for war.. to the Buchanans that simply ment they had time to send for Asher Mackay her uncle and his son to make plans for battle..

Lillith helped to get the wounded inside while Ian found there father and Andrew to relay the message she met her mother and new soon to be sister inlaw in the sick room taking care of the wounded.. I ken yer sore vexed wi me mum, but twill have ta wait apparently were at war..

she explained the situation to her mother and her soon to be sister and hugged Mora welcoming her to the family and reasuring her that everything would be alright and that she was safe here with the Buchanan's.. no one would turn her back over or even think it.. for the battle would happen ether way wether she went back or not..

Brinna agreed with Lillith and kept Mora busy with taskes of taking care of wounded ect so that it would keep her mind off of what was comming ..

she like her brothers, father and mother would fight along side there people.. however Lillith had been ordered to stay close inside with Mora when the fighting started and guard her to keep her safe.. she didnt exactly like the idea but she wanted Mora safe and vowed when this was over to teach her how to weild a blade..

it was a few days later another rider approched and was asked to identify himself. The rider turned out to be Robert.. her father and brothers, uncle asher and cousin.. went out to meet him, and explained the situation..

while her mother went up stairs to get Lillith.. as she came into the hall with her mother and Mora she was glad he came but wondered why Robert had come and what he wanted....

Had something happened she knew the MacGregors and the Campbells fought and after freeing her she was sure MacGregor would retaleate.. had he come for help.. if so she would gladly give it between her uncles men and there own they could spare some to help Robert if he had need..

 

[Josu_T]

When Ian arrived, he went and found his father and Andrew and told them of all that had happened. He then started to discuss the events of Andrew's time after he ahd left and of what had happened at home. He was not happy to hear that there would be a fight. He started to make plans with the others. They were soon joined by Asher and his son. They began to come up with a fairly solid battle plan, if the weather played in their favor.

---------------------------------------------------------

When Robert arrived, he was greeted by the men of the clan and the Mackay clan. He met them and spoke with them for a little while, but he had something that was more important to him. He took his leave of the men as soon as he could. He then went to find Lillith.

When he found her, he smiled and took her silently by the hand to a place where they could talk in private. When they finally got there, he took out her flute and held it out to her with a smile. Before she could say anything, he explained. "Lillith, I took this home with me and thought for a long time. What I came to realise is that you mean something to me. You are very important to me. I think that I may love you. All I know is that it did not feel right being away from you. I have two things to tell you. The first is that I am unable to play this very well. I think you should keep it and play it. You play so much better than me." He sighed and paused before continuing, "The second thing I need to tell you is that I decieved you when you were staying with my clan. The thing is, I am the son of the laird. I am next in line to rule my clan. I wanted to tell you a few times, but felt it would be better if you didn't know. I am not really sure why now, but that is why. I hope you can forgive me." He looked at her and waited for her to say something, not really sure what to expect.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Lillith wasnt sure what to say she was torn between hitting him for lying to her even tho she understood why he had for all he knew she could have been a spy sent by his enemys.. and kissing him..because she wanted too.. he might love her might.. she almost felt like crying but it was a start at least..

Before she gave into the urge to hit him she said awncered simply.. thank you for returning my flute..i wanted yo to have something to remember me by.. I thought i Might love you as well...i'll miss our chess,and archery matches when you leave.. The truth was she did love him very much , but as he was uncertin she couldnt tell him truly how she felt.

Lillith took the flute from his hands and turned to go to her own room so she could cry in privet... he had come all this way to say he MIGHT love her..

Once in her room she kicked the doorway stubbing her toe and cursing Mora turned to face her a questioning look on her face and Lillith flushed she had forgotten she and Mora were sharing a chamber until Mora and Andrew wed..

she bit her lip to try and keep the tears from comming and said only MEN! before laying the flute on her dresser and changing from her gown into some leggings and a shirt so she could go to the practice feild and let off some steem..

still seeing Mora's puzzled expression she asked.. How is it someone might love you??? Seeing that Mora now understood what Lilliths problem was she knew no awncer was required.. and let her go to the practice feilds while she went to find Brinna and Andrew..

one thing was for sure about Clans they all stuck together.. the question was did they think Robert a good match for Lillith... and if they agreed how did they get two stubborn scots to admit they loved each other fully.. not simply Maybe..

True to Buchanan tradition there would be a hardships aplenty ahead.. hopefully they would both come to there sences before the battle.. but as stubborn as Lill and well any scot could be it was doubt full..

 

[Josu_T]

Robert was not sure what to think when Lillith left. She did not seem too happy. He watched her go and then went to think for a while. He was not really sure why he'd said exactly what he'd said. he really did love her. He was sure of that, but he wasn't sure what she felt for him. They would need to talk more about it. Yet he had things to discuss with the men. He had decided to put his sword in among their to help in the coming battle.

He walked over to where the men were talking and told them what he had decided. Each of them was happy to have another warrior with them. From what they had heard, Robert was a good man to have with them on their side. They started to explain their plan so far and let him give his opinion. They were coming up with some great ideas. Their confidence grew constantly. Andrew sr. was happy with the people he had around him and how everything was coming together well. Ian was looking forward to fighting next to his family members. As a group they could keep eachother safe.

Andrew jr. was getting nervous though. He wanted to make sure Mora stayed safe and that her angry clan did not get their hands on her. He loved her and spent as much time with her as he could while still contributing to the planning. He tried to make sure that Mora did not worry about her safety or about his safety. He constantly reassured her that he would be safe.

Mora smiled at Andrew kissing him and holding him close.. I know i will be safe your sister wont let anything happen to me and nether will you or the rest of your family.. your sister has already decided to teach me how to use a blade.... speaking of your sister..

Mora paused not sure if she should really inter fear or not she and Andrew had foud there happiness.. as had his parents and she knew from Lilliths reaction that she loved Robert.. she bit her lip and said.. your sister is in the training fields letting off some steam.. she's a bit angry at the moment.., and it has to do with Robert....

Seeing the questions in Andrews eyes she told him about Lillith comming to the room the flute Ian had told them she had given to Robert in her hands.. about her kicking the door and cursing.. and then her question to Mora as she left the room...

what do you think we should do.. i think he loves her but ehter hasnt reolized it fully or is waiting for some sign from her... but to Lillith her giving him her flute had been her way of telling him how she really felt.. when he gave it back it, saying he might love her ............. it was well like me slapping you would be..

you know your sister better than anyone she wont open herself again as she said how can someone maybe love someone.. she wont admit how she feels until he dose.. and she dose love him i am sure of it..maybe we could ask Ian he knows Robert, the most out of the rest of us..

Andrew enjoyed Mora's kisses. They made him happy and helped him not worry about the upcoming battle. He listened to all she said and thought about it for a minute. She had a point. It was a tough thing to decide what to do, but he realised it was important. He would talk with Ian. He smiled at Mora and told her his decision. "I will talk to Ian and get him to talk to Robert so he can decide how he really feels and tell Lillith. We don't need the trouble during the battle of them trying to figure out their feelings. However, I won't go now. I am enjoying having you in my arms too much, and we have time to talk to them." He grinned and kissed her happily, holding her close. He hoped that his sister could find a love like the one he had found with Mora.

Mora smiled content to let Andrew handle the matter for now only saying that if he needed her help in anyway that he knew where she would be.. and then laughed as he told her he wasnt leaving her now because he was too happy to have her in his arms..

the feeling is returned whole heartedly.. she said just before he kissed her again steeling her breath and robing her legs of strenght, she didnt care tho because she had his arms to hold her..
.................................

Lillith came back in just before the evening meal, but had little time to change and so simply ran upstairs to wash her face and hands putting on a clean long sleeved blouse and making her way back down the stairs to join her family and Robert for the eveing meal.. Smiling as she noticed not only were Andrew and Mora a bit late, but so were her mother and father.. leaving her Ian and Robert.. waiting for there arrivle..

her smile faded seeing Robert.. she wasnt sure what to say to him or how to act at the moment so she avoided her brother and Robert leaving them to there talk while she sat at the table a flagon in her hand as she drank from it she remembered how Robert had tricked her into revealing herself as a woman when they first met and decided she would only drink on flagon tonight rather than sevral..

Andrew felt Mora's body start to fall as he kissed her. His arms immediately took hold of her and lifted her up. He held her up fo the ground, pressed close. He smiled and kissed her softly. He sat in the nearest chair and helped her get comfortable in his lap. He started to kiss her more, not caring if they were late to the meal. He didn't want to have Mora out of his arms for even a little while. He enjoyed it too much. Not that it was possible to enjoy her being in his arms too much.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Robert's eyes followed Lillith as she entered. He smiled at her softly, hoping she would come sit near and talk to him. She unfortunately seemed to avoid him. He couldn't understand it. He didn't know what he had said to her to make her unhappy with him. He sighed and continued to talk to Ian. Ian looked from Robert to Lillith and started to wonder what was going on between them. He hoped that it would be resolved before the battle. He tried not to think about it since it was not his business. It was up to robert and Lillith to settle their own issues.

Mora couldnt think while sitting in Andrews lap his arms around her, about anyting but the two of them and the fact that she loved him with all her being.. feeling mischevious and wondering if it were possable to make love in the chair she decided to see what would happen..

She stood for a moment smiling at him as she readjusted her position so that insted of setting in his lap as she had earler now she strattled him her knees on ehter side her skirts bunched up with out help as she sat facing him..
