"I didn't know we had a lake" Cora ran toward it with Lane behind her. It was as clear as the sky was full the fish seemed like they were just floating in mid air. As the sun shined the lake glittered like a blanket full of rhinestones. It made the world look so much brighter. Lane walked up behind Cora and griped her sides and slowly pulled her closer to him. His warm embrace magnified Cora's feelings towards Lane. She reached for his hands and pulled one up to her mouth and kissed his hand and latched on to it like she would never let go.
"You know I would have never guessed to find you back so late from fighting?" startled lane and Cora wiped around and found Harry a few feet behind them. "How long were you standing there?" Lane with his blades back out and ready to attack. "I just got here, and put those away. Fighting is done and you both look exhausted. So exhausted that Cora needed you to help her stand?" with a bit of a giggle behind his words. "Sure, chasing you is like chasing your shadow. What do you want, Harry?" Cora said easing Lane, suggesting he put his blades away.
Your Mother wants you both inside so you can learn of your witch, warlock, and Grand wolf heritage you will be working a lot with them since that's you kin and all and with your sister being one you might want to know what she is capable of just in case you decided to piss her off or someone else and can catch spells, curses and other things." Lane's energy calms down fairly quickly. "Alright Harry, well head towards the house now, But I think we're going to go and get a shower first." Cora says looking over her shoulder and lending a hand toward Lane. He returns the favor and followers intensively as Harry is watching their every move like a lion on a gazelle and ready to pounce and strike. ' I still don't like him very much. He makes me feel like a meal is about to happen.' Lane's mind liked core clutching her hand a bit harder than normal. 'Don't worry about him, I need to check on Oliver. We did just leave him in my room by himself and the other house elves have been real mean to him before. I wouldn't doubt them to try and hurt him again.' Lane nodded and took off running, slightly dragging Cora behind him. Running towards the house as fast as they could they still could feel Harry's presents on their necks.
They entered the mansion and ran up the massive stairway in the ground area that led them to the second level where everyone's bed rooms were and the kitchen area. Swiftly they walked down the hallway to Cora's room. When she entered the room was changed. The bed was rearranged and now up on a lofted area in the room the floor plan had weapon cabinets a massive table in the middle of the room that had draws and cabinets where maps and books filled with everything they will ever know.
Oliver just sat in a small chair asleep and looked exhausted like he was the only one doing this. The room was amazing, everything Cora has ever wanted with her room. A note sat next to Oliver on a table. It Read; Cora this is a token of my gratitude and was hoping you would love it. Oliver helped so much and I hope he serves you well and your adventures to come are full and safe. Use the knowledge in the books and maps that's here. I know I sent Harry to get you but something came up somewhere else and Susanna was coming with me. The council of elements needed us both. Be back soon and also make sure your father dont burn down my kitchen you know how that man gets ideas.
Cora just chuckled at the last part of the note and handed it to Lane to read next. "Did you know she left you a P.S. on the back side and a list of books to read and she also said to make sure you actually read them because she will be asking about them later." Cora sat on a stool by the table . "Ugh, got to take the fun out of learning don't she. Alright what is the first book called?" "The history of the W.I.T.C.H. she says it's going to be about the coming ups of how it gave them their name and time frame." Cora went searching from book case to book case and finally found a book with a velvet green cover with gold stamped words that copied the title. "This book only has six hundred seventy two pages in it. I'll probably have it done in three days as long as I don't have to train or help with anything else. Which probably will happen. I hope she will be gone for a long time, not like a bad one though I love my momma." Lane just walks over and grabs the book and sets it on the table "Your mom doesn't ask if she doesn't give you time doesn't she? She seems like a woman that is time oriented." Cora with soft eyes just looks up at him and slowly leaning into his stomach feeling the warmth of his warm and muscular torso.
"You are right and how many books are there?" Lane grabs the paper reminding himself how many there were "Two and the other one's title is Grand wolf History." Cora leans back and goes surfing through the shelves once more. There it was on the opposite side of the room bonded with a bee wax thread sewn in around a white thick piece of wood with the title on there, as she pulled it from the shelf she realized it was wrapped with a rabbit like fur on the front and back of the book with a buckle holding it closed for decoration and to hold a small wad of notes together. "Hmm seem like this one was made on the road don't you think or it could just be that old." Cora handing it to Lane with caution. "Well If you want to I can read one and then you read one so we both don't seem like were doing nothing together when were hanging out." Cora with ponder on her face "You don't want to leave me alone in this don't you?" Lane with a sly smile on his face setting the second book down on the table and looking up at her. "Yes I confess, I like to be near you and You do have a addictive personality. Dose that make you uncomfortable? Would you like me to go hang out with your dad or maybe with your sister so you can be by your self? Just say the word and I will obey your word till the end of my life." sarcastically kneeling and bowing down like she was a princess.
"You are so dramatic, get up please." Cora lifted him up from the floor without a problem. "We can read together but first I need a shower and so do you. So how about you get out and go get one since I know you have your own bathroom." shoving him gently and persistently towards the door and swiftly opening it. "Alrighty then as the princess demands it." Lane says with severe sarcasm. "Lane, if I was demanding it you would know." As she pushes him out the door and shuts it quickly. With a slight sye Cora walks over to her closet and gets an oversized plum t-shirt with some long pajama pants with roses as pink as a puppies nose. Caring her clothes she sets them on her clean bathroom counter and walks over to the shower to prep it. She sets it in between warm and hot. Making sure her rosewater and almond shampoo is still on the bathroom shelf as well the aloe and amber body wash. She gets in and washes her hair first sudsing it up from the roots and going down her hair as she rinses through the water and continues on with the rest of her shower.
