Rachel woke with a start she had been having nightmares about the future and what it held. Calidore and Lisa were at the table deep in conversation they both turned to face her as she screamed.
Lisa smiled, “you are okay it’s only a dream here join us Calidore had cooked us breakfast.” Rachel shuddered against the cold… Then suddenly realised it was warm and there was sunlight streaming in through the windows that ,when she fell asleep, were covered in ice inside and out.
Lisa handed Rachel a plate of food which was delicious, an elvish recipe she guessed. Rachel again looked at the sunlight streaming into the room and the fabulous scent of winter roses. “How” she asked “what has happened to the harsh conditions that were here last night.” Lisa, picking up Hope as she replied. ” It was Calador’s idea. We combined our magic so we could have an Indian summer just within the courtyard and house.” Calador added, ” we decided we needed a little lift… But just step over the threshold of the courtyard and the unholy winter is still there.”
“Is there any news from Mathew ?” asked Rachel, “no” replied Lisa” but both Calador and I have sensed a deep sorrow in his thoughts” Yes unusual as it is that Vampire is in great pain, but he is headed this way” added Calador.
Despite her fears Rachel could not help notice a deep bond forming between Lisa and Calador. This pleased her she loved Lisa and this huge handsome elf was finding a place in her heart.
Miles away Mathew was torn should he return to see the others or should he see what information he could gather about Roman and the Ancients plans. His body was blooded and torn but worse was the mental pain he was feeling. These feelings long dead had been reawoken by his beloved Werewolf Rachel. He made his decision and set of back to the witches castle.
Stepping into the courtyard Mathew was stunned by the warm and sunlight… He was amazed he could actually smell the roses… Even more amazingly he was feeling joy…..
