strange love story

[princessdanae]

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was bored, totally bored out of her mind. She ws standing in her balcony looking down at the gardens, wondering why her father had to arrange a marriage for her. She did not want to deal with beibg married to a man who was ten or fiteen years her senior, and had been married once before. Her father had decided she was to marry the duke of york, and she had heard rumors of his two previous wives dying of unknown causes.
' i wish i could marry for love, like a normal girl,' she thought,' I hate the idea of dying whilst married to the duke.'
Just then her father called her downstairs..."coming father," she said.

(occ i need 3 males for this --a priest, a duke and a werewolf--dragonlady has the witch--PM me with your first post--one liners need not apply)

Andi was doing the best she could with what she got her mother was away takeing care of her uncle it seems it still haveing children and it was his first..

She was out in the field working the land as she dug up herbs and other things as she walked around her red hair was tied down her back and her dress was blue and dirty from the days work she was barefooted as she walked around..

Her mother was a witch as well as she was and she enjoyed in very much but she had a yearning for something so much more maybe a friendship .. Of the male variety her mother always had men over as she sighed she wanted something but she wasn't sure what it was she wanted ..

As she walked to the back of Elizabeths house she smiled at the maid "Could you tell Elizabeth that Im here Milly Please " she asked the woman as the maid smiled at her and nodded going back into the house while she stayed where she was ..

The road seemed to just grow longer as Lord Theo rode off to meet his bride to be. His second wife had recently been found dead at thier Loc Sheer estate. The Duke of course had been above suspision, but many of his subject still had the thought in their minds.

When I heard that Elizabeth's father was ready to have her married off, I couldn't help but to send him a small token of 500 gold pieces as a sign of my interest. After I recieved his blessing, I set off on the 3 day journey to meet my new lass. They say that third time's a charm hehe, but let us just see how this one ends.

"My Lord, we need to stop to rest the horses."
"Alright Page, we'll stop here for an hour, then I want to reach Elizabeth by night fall."

Elizabeth

AS soon as Milly had come up stairs saying' that nasty little witch is here to see you' Elizabeth knew Adriana Moonstar was there, and she went down to talk to her friend whom she had grown up with.
" Thank you milly, that will be all..and oh milly, Andi is not nasty, she is very sweet and honest," Elizabeth said.
"milady, she is a witch and demon possessed, she worships the devil himself,and her mother gives herself up to him, how else can she heal like she does," Millicent 'Milly' Cooper said.
" Milly you are only here by my father's good graces, so i suggest you stop badmouthing my friend, and remember your place," elizabeth said sternly.

With that Elizabeth then walked down the stairs, trying to forget her upcoming engagement, and just try to have fun with Andi for one opf the few times she had left.

When the man knocked at the castle's backdoor, it was with disdain that a maid opened the door... "By all Gods, is it the day of all the freaks?" She sighed. Sure I wasn't the castle type with my long unattended hair, my patched coat and that strangely carved staff of mine. But I was aloowed inside nevertheless. Almaïn the Druid was always allowed. Nobody wanted him to talk bad to the spirits of Nature about the people of the castle. I am a druid with all the stuff getting around, I am at the same time feared and disdained. I am supposed to have power over all Nature's laws, and I am also not very clean and kinda rough. Well, a hard thing for the maid to let me in, but she had no choice. "Tell Elizabeth that I'm here... I know Andi's here already, but the day is important for Elizabeth and she needs all the advices she can receive." As the maid went out of the room, whispering some curses about the freaky people not letting her do her job, I smiled... This day was very important...

James had heard about it all through town, a wedding was being planned and was to be put into action soon. He had arrived in this town, shortly after his experiences in England, which hadn't gone to well. That is where his own nightmare began, yet his life only escalated. James was a tall man, 6'4" and short brown hair, hazel eyes, broad shoulders, a well developed man. However, inside of him was a dangerous beast, he had been attacked in one of the parks in England, could not remember anything from it, only a few days later, seemingly having a stroke in his own bed, changing into a wild beast, a strong, fast, smart beast that was hungary.

After some time, James learned to control it, barely, there were thresholds. He come into this town for a new life, hopefully one that wouldn't critisize him and one where he could "live off". After a bit of searching, Jame stood outside the gates to the magnificent home. James could smell the flowers, smell the fragrances all around this home. Some lifting, some, well, one that could make a dog run away. Before he could even see it, a woman had spotted him from a blacony. James looked up into her eyes. His smell, sight, hearing, speed and strength had all increased and he could see this woman more clearly than ever. He felt as if, he was home.

Elizabeth

elizabeth was discussing the fact that there was going to be a masquarade ball in a fortnight ( occ. about two weeks if i recall properly) and her betrothal to the duke was going to be announced there. She hated the idea, and was discussing her frustrtions with her friend Andi, in heated tones. it was soon after andi arrived when Milly announced that Almain the Druid was there to see her. She said ' show him in' in tones betraying all her emotion.
She was very disgusted and had a feeling that Almain was there to announce that he would do the ceremony, and was ignoring anyone else's feelings.

 

[Dragonlady]

Andi sat and listen to her friend bitch and complain as she grinned "I could always turn em' in a frog Lizzy"

I watched The Priest as I watched him "Hello Druid and you came to see Lizzy and I " I gave him a little odd look "I suposed I'm your Escort to The ball Lizzy I hope you have a spare dress" I watched her as I looked over at the Druid who was so stareing at me that I looked at him confused. "What I got dirt on me nose again" she went to wipe away the dirt that was no where on her face

James approached the front door and knocked on it. The maid came to the door and asked who he was and what he was there for. "My name is James my lady. I happen to be new in town and I've been wandering around for quite some time. I was wondering, if there could be time for a glass of water?" His eyes shown and as if in a trance, she let him in and began to walk into the kitchen. Whomever lived here, was someone important and as he talked with the maid, he realized quite quickly who it was. She handed him his glass of water and smiled at her, letting her go of the trance and imprinted in her mind that it was okay for him to be here. However, for some reason she went up the long set of stairs to the owner of the home. He glanced at the water in his hand and could quite easily tell, it was purified and he smiled. He was sick of the nasty waters in the lake and as he drank the purified water, he tried to savor it. After setting the glass down on the counter, he thought he could sense frustration on the upper floor and wondered exactly what was going on.

 

[A_Man_For_You]

"Well Andi, I was just wondering what was your advice to our girl here about all this. We all know her feelings about this marriage. We all know also the importance it has in a political way. But we're not into politics, you and I. As the forces of nature and the mysticals strems speak, what do they tell through your mouth?"

 

[Dragonlady]

Andi was a spit fire amung spitfires as she looked at the druid and stood up "Why not turn him in a frog and let em rot in the back pond that way Lizzy can feed him everyday and not have to worry about being raped " she had her hands on her hips as she looked at the Druid

She was the only one that wasn't afraid of him in fact .. They were more equals in alot of ways as she walked up to him "What do you have to say about that Druid" she smiled as her eyes showed her true emotion....

 

[A_Man_For_You]

"Good idea... and then the frog prince's people will turn against us, and send us an army against which our country hasn't a chance..:"
I turned to Elizabeth, then again to Andi, whispering not to be heard by the bride... "I know this will be hard for her, but we all have sacrifices to do in order to prevent greater disasters. We cannot prevent the wedding. At least let's have it done the best way, and we should stick together to protect Elizabeth against anything really dangerous for her... You and me, the powers we have, your alchemy and my nature's spirits. If someone can do something, then we're the ones..."

 

[Dragonlady]

Andi listen to the Druid and then looked at Elizabeth "Lizzy Excuse us for a minute we most plot away all disaster that may come this eve" I promptly grab the druids hand and drag him out side..

"Have you gone Daft !! she wants no part of this marriage and I support her in this Let him find another woman at his will he nothing but a rake an cad !!"

My anger has got the best of me and every time it happen a thunderstorm appears with out me realiseing what I have may done .. I watched the druid my anger showing in my eyes "I can't not allow this she has the right to love not be raped "

 

[princessdanae]

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was listening to Almain and Andi argue and realized that these two were a perfect match--and they did'nt know realize it. She chuckled to herself and started to think of ways for them to be hooked up. She also heard distant thunder and realized that once again Andi had lost her temper. She called Milly in--Milly we need tea for three please and make some crumpets and cakes to go with them--
Milly--milady, surely you don't mean to have tea with these two, and you should plan tea for four, since this vagabond has decided to come as well--his name is James.
Elizabeth--oh, welcome to Castle Cernunnos.

 

[A_Man_For_You]

"Andi, think about it. He's already on his way. If he arrives and finds himself rejected, the gods help us against his fury. Let him not unleash his army. If we cannot avoird the wedding, let arrange for it to be better..."
It was hard to find how to tell her rapidly...
"Andi, remember what we've lived together years ago. You must trust me. Let us work on Lizzy. Her mind could change about this whole thing."
As thunder came closer and louder, I saw anger grow in her eyes... "Oh please Andi, I just want the best for all the people in our country. I just want to avoid a war..."

 

[Dragonlady]

Andi looked at him 'Bloody Duke is what he is !!" she growled her eyes glowing in her anger "What was the past isn't the future it can be changed I believe this with my own heart , Hell I take the prude Milly and make him fall in love with her instead" she just wanted to give Lizzy the best chance

"Hell I just want to give her the best chance By the Gods we needed and Besides Wouldn't you rather find love then be forced to marry someone you don't love"

 

[Sharpedge19]

James approached the stairs and listened to the mild conversation. He started to make his way up the stairs when he had heard a voice. "Most men would await for an escort and it seems you have none sir. Might I ask why you are dressed...so...ruggidly? And what buisness do you have here?"

From the way the large man was dressed, James could tell that this was the headmaster of the home. "Well sir, you see, I have moved here quite recently and well, none of our faucets work. I had heard about a wedding of all weddings and wished to meet the soon to be bride. Oh, and bring not only a welcoming gift, but also a congradulatory gift." Just then, he heard footsteps from above and James peered up to see the one paused the ruckess. "Ah, my dear, this is sir...James, he has come to congratulate you on your wedding. He is also, somewhat of a new neighbor, I believe he has taken the Studabaker's home down the street."

Dark and mysterious...

In the even cool a man that was unknown to the towns people but had an darkness that radiated from him. This dark and mysterious stranger had ties to the evil darkness that lurked for the maiden that was to be married.
Being that he stood tall and well fit, he was stong and well trained by the way of the sword and many other weapons of that day. But what he possessed was something no man could ever defend against. The dark evil powers that coursed through his vains.

He sinced that there was one there in the town that had a darker side to then. Being drawn to the evil he felt to compelled to search them out. His demeamer was quit and stong, with a look for long dark hair and black cold eye. His skin was fair but showed scares from battles past. Being a ex soldier of the king from a distant land now known a Ireland, he knew that his skills were far more than the average man. And so his jourey began.

Elizabeth's father/elizabeth

Lord Montgomery was looking at the young man in front of him, analyzing his personality from what he could see of him..a strong young man, but foolish. He had walked in uninvited and unannounced, assuming ownership of a place.
he was not dressed like a monied man, but yet at the very least he ahd to have a title, in order to carry himself so.

Elizabeth was listening to her father talk to the 'vagabond' that Milly had announced since he had come in the front door as her father was coming down the stairs to leave for his tea with the Duke and Duchess of Wellington and the Duke of York..She peeked out of the solarium and got a glimpse of a ruggedly built tall man in his early 20's..he sent shivers down her back and she motioned for Andi and Almain to come look at him.

(ooc--guys only post your own characters--do not post other characters--i will add minor characters as needed--and follow the story)

Elizabeth

it had been a couple of long weeks, and it was now the night before the ball..elizabeth was restless and she could not sleep --there was something in the air that sent shivers down her back...much like the rugged young man two weeks ago.. She remembered that father really find it annoying that he could walk right into his house with no escort....
