Chapter 14: Chapter Fourteen- a letter and confession

Chapter Fourteen

Early next day, I woke up to someone’s foot in my face…

Whose foot was that? It was Claire's. And for some reason, she had managed to get into my room last night and fall asleep on top of me. How did she do this? Sadly I don’t know.

Nothing much happened after I woke up, however, I had nothing to do and spent all of the day playing (fighting) with Claire.

“Claire, you have a lot of energy, don’t you?” at this point I had already gotten a stitch, we hadn't had a single break from start to finish and I was exhausted and stopped for a water break.

“You just need to train more James! Before you know it, ill be leaving you to find a stronger opponent!” She said with a smug expression, looking like the friend who had gotten a higher score in the test that tested your stupidity.

“Well out of our seven fights, you have only won two, so I guess it will take you a while before you can find your stronger training partner,” I said while I put my sword down.

“Alright let’s go in for dinner, I heard it was curry tonight.”

After calling over the pouty Claire we decided to head inside, and after dinner, we went to straight.

I had been here for two days now, and now the hell began. Or had it?

 

A certain day seven months later, I got a mail from Elizabeth and Scott, however, I could tell Elizabeth wrote it, her handwriting was very good, much better than Scott, who was addicted to swinging his heavy long sword.

the letter contents included:

“Hello James, we hope that you are enjoying yourself and you are keeping up with your training! Also, say hello to Claire  for us. We have been doing fine, we also have Clara who has taken up knitting, she has been helping us with much of the house work. She  has also  been knitting baby clothes, although this might come as a shock for you. You will be a big brother soon! When you receive this letter please write back telling us when you next have your holidays, and make sure to bring Claire with you too, she would be delighted to se the child. Yours truly, Mom and family x.

My jaw dropped. Being a big brother again? I have mixed feelings swirling up inside of me. However, I should show this letter to Claire.

“Hey, Claire!” I said while running into her room, she who was sitting on her bed drinking some juice and reading a book replied. “What is it, it better not be anything dumb, or I’ll get angry!” After she said this, I sighed and then ran towards her handing her the letter. “

“Hey, read this! It’s from Elizabeth.”

After hearing it was from Elizabeth, she instantly focused on it and sit in silence until she had finished reading it.

“Hey James, is this for real? Am I going to be an aunty!?” Claire jumped up in joy and started dancing around in her fluffy pajamas before stopping for a second. “Then we have to tell grandpa! He will be happy to go see the baby! Lets go!

After saying this she ran out of her room grabbing me to Edwards’s office, where he was diligently working through some documents.

“grandpa, grandpa! Look at this letter!” Claire shouted out while slamming the piece of paper down on Edwards’s desk.

“Is there a need to be this loud? (Pretty ironic) What’s this letter about anyways?” Edward said while taking out his reading glasses and scrolling through the contents of the letter.

After a couple of dozen seconds, Edwards let out a roar, a bit more loud than his usual one.

“Fuahaha God has truly blessed me with another grandchild! Claire, James we set out tomorrow, gather your things.”

This soon? Don’t we have to send a letter back? Well, I guess they won’t mind. And after both nodding, both I and Claire walked back to our rooms (which were beside each other) and got packed for a week’s journey.

Well, it’s the first time I’ll be going back since I left there seven months ago, I wonder how Clara is… I hope she’s doing good.

“James are you ready yet? Claire came into my room with a bag full of stuff (presumably clothes) and sat it down by my bed.

“If I was done, would I be still packing?” I said while stuffing some tops into my bag, mumbling.

With Claire helping me pack, it hardly took any time, and after this, we decided to go to sleep, however, Claire decided to sleep in my room.

“Hey James…” she said while hiding under the cover slightly. “Who is Clara?”

Oh, have i never mentioned Clara before? did she see Clara’s name on the letter? Well, it doesn’t matter, I’ll tell her.

“She is a friend I met after coming back from Here a couple of years ago, I saved her from a huge wolf-like beast and took her in as my disciple..”

After saying that I stayed quiet until Claire said-

“is she your best friend?” Claire asked with an anxious and nervous look, however, I could tell that she was scared of me saying that Clara was my best friend, and not her. However, to me, Clara felt more like a little sister.

“You’re my best friend, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.” After saying that I patted her on the head while her eyes beamed and she hugged me.

After turning around to sleep, Claire said something out of the blue.

“James when we are older, will you marry me?”

I knew that Claire must have gathered up a lot of strength and courage to say that.

“Yes, I will marry you when we are older,” I said and went to sleep.

however i couldn't get to sleep, when did i have the balls to say such a thing!? Ah I'm so embarrassed.

 

Waking up early in the day to Edwards roar was a natural alarm clock.

“Fuahaha! Kids let’s go! It’s time to go see Elizabeth and her baby! Edward said while barging into my room.

Was Scott not included?

While I was still rubbing my eyes awake I felt my stomach being crushed and could see Claire crawling over me to get off the bed.

After getting ready and having breakfast, we walked outside and got into the carriage. With the maids and butlers waving us off, I waved back until the estate was out of sight
