David had left with Justin to go into town to talk with the business owners while Owen met with neighbors. Several of them had already met him from the time he had spent at the farm with Eve, so it made it easier of him to talk with them. Getties name was enough to make the few who were hesitant, listen. He made his stance known, offering to help those not willing to sell in any way with no strings attached so that they could feel safe about receiving help. Those who wanted to sell due to Getties’ constant harassment, he quickly paid and had papers drawn up with the property in Eve’s name. He made sure to draw up free lease agreements for those who sold their property so they could have all the time they would need to move or not as they see fit. He didn’t want to take someone’s home away so he left the option of staying indefinitely open for them.
When he got back to the house, he was ready for a little quiet time and was glad to see David had not made it back yet. He settles on a deep cushioned chair on the porch, closing his eyes as he breathes the clean air deeply. He feels the air barely stir around him just as a soft voice catches his attention.
“Will you be staying long, My Lord?” A pixie cowers by the railing, eyes wide with fear.
“You have nothing to fear from me, little brother.” Owen opens his eyes and lifts a brow at the pixie. “Is something wrong?”
“Nothing wrong, My Lord.” The pixie glances around. “I just do not want to be seen by the new humans.”
Owen’s lips twitch up in amusement, knowing the pixie could kill five humans on his own if the need arose. “No need to worry about them. They are here at my request to bale the hay so our brothers and sisters have food during the winter.”
“Ah!” The pixie relaxes, smiling. “Did our queen come with you?”
“Unfortunately, no.” He glances at his phone, noting the time. “I will only be here for a few more days. I want you to give Grandmother Willow a message.” The pixie perks up, glad for a mission. “Tell her I am acquiring more land here and soon will need help placing wards. The humans still living in the dwellings are allowed to be there. I only want wards keeping away those who would harm.”
“Yes, My Lord!” The pixie bows, his wings buzzing excitedly. “I will tell her right away!”
Owen watches him fly off, content for the moment. He glances back down at his phone, a gleam of mischief in his eyes.
Eve wipes the sweat from her face, her arms feeling like lead. “I can’t believe how exhausted I am!”
Kira grins, her blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail. “For a beginner, you’re not too bad. I can teach you two routines before next week easily.”
Eve rolls her eyes. “Just kill me now!” She hears her phone beep and groans. “Now what?” She opens her phone and sees a text from Owen.
It has been a while since we have played our little game. If you are up for it, I have 5 questions for you? Owen
“Really?” She laughs, looking up at Fox’s confused expression. “Owen wants to play 20 questions again.”
Fox grins, shrugging. “We’re done for the day.”
I’m always up for playing games with you? What do you want to know?    Eve
What is your favorite music/band/singer?                     Owen
Eve snorts, shaking her head in surprise. “You know, I think this is the first time he’s ever really asked me some serious questions.”
I really don’t have one. I like classical, older country, pop, rock, heavy metal, show tunes…you name it. I am currently listening to Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, and Mariana’s Trench.    Eve
Good to know that you do not mind classical music. The next time I have to take Alexander to an opera event for appearances sake, I will drag you along. At least I will be sure one person will appreciate it. Owen
Eve laughs and lets Fox read his message. “Xander hates opera huh?”
“Hates it with a passion.” Fox smiles and hands Eve her clothes to change into. “But we have appearances to make and he knows that one of us must show up to fund raisers.”
So what about you?    Eve
I do not have one favorite, although my taste in music is far more old fashioned than yours. I will have to listen to the singers you have listed before I can voice an opinion on them. Owen
Eve quickly changes and then follows Fox back to the car. “Wonder why he’s started this back up again?”
Fox slides into the driver’s seat, shrugging her shoulders. “Bored probably. That’s usually when he gets the nosiest.”
Eve chuckles and looks back down at her phone. “Maybe, but I don’t really mind. I like it when he opens up some. I feel like that means he trusts me.”
“He does.” Fox smiles. “Probably more than you know.”
“Yeah.” She begins to type again. “Well the feeling is mutual.”
So what else do you want to know?     Eve
If you could go to one place in the world that you’ve never been to before, where would you go?    Owen
“One place I’d like to go.” She gently taps at her lip. “Where is his home again?”
“Avalon.” Fox glances at her, frowning slightly.
If we were allowed, I would like to go to your home. Avalon. You’ve seen where I am from but I would like to see where you are from. I know it may never come to pass but it is still my wish.    Eve
“Do you think your mom will ever lift the ban on him going home?” Eve sighs softly, glancing out the window.
“I don’t know.” Fox’s voice goes quiet for a moment. “I would hope so, even if it were for one day.”
“Me too.” Eve glances back down at her phone as it vibrates.
I am not sure how to reply to that. I had thought you would say Jamaica or England or someplace exotic, but not my home. If it were up to me, I would take you there today.             Owen
I know. I would gladly go anywhere you wanted to take me because you would be with me. Your turn.   Eve
I’ve already been where I’d like to be. Your home.    Owen
Fox glances at the message, her smile coming back in full force. “Aww! That’s sweet! Owen’s a romantic!”
“Yeah, he is.” Eve blushes slightly.
If you could buy whatever you wanted, what would it be?      Owen
Eve thinks for a moment, not sure where this question is leading.
I’m not really sure. I’d love to buy up everything within 100 miles of the farm and make it a private reserve but I couldn’t make myself kick my neighbors out of their homes. Maybe a new wardrobe full of clothes for a change?    Eve
Look in the second closet in my rooms when you are off work.            Owen
“What did Owen do?” Eve frowns at Fox.
“I don’t know what you mean?” Fox frowns back, perplexed.
“He just told me to look in his second closet in his rooms.” She narrows her eyes.
Fox laughs. “All those shopping trips we have been going on he’s kept an eye on us. Sounds like he did some buying on his own.”
“What?” Eve groans and looks back down at her phone, typing furiously.
What did you do?    Eve
Just look in the closet.    Owen
Brat!    Eve
What else did you expect?   Owen
Damn you! You have 2 questions left! Ask them before I find out where you are and go there to wring your neck!!     Eve
Feisty wench! I should spank you for such thoughts!   Owen
You wish!         Eve
You would enjoy it too much.            Owen
Maybe. Now what’s the next question?        Eve
Would you prefer to live in the castle or an apartment to ourselves?   Owen
She frowns, thinking about what he’s really asking.
I’m not particularly attached to my apartment and I would never ask you to leave your most recent home. Besides, I thought you wanted me in ‘your space’.          Eve
I do but I did not want to assume you would be comfortable there. I also want you to feel like you have something of your own so I don’t smother you.                              Owen
“Aw! That’s so sweet!” Eve grins. “He wants me to have a place of my own if I need it.”
Fox smiles, turning into the underground parking garage. “I have a few rooms of my own so when I’m so stressed I need to be left alone I can go there for some quiet.”
“True.” Eve bites at her lip. “I guess I could use some space like that, although I usually go to the park for that. I prefer to be outdoors.”
“Tell him that.” She turns the car off and turns in the seat to look at Eve. “He’s trying to find his boundaries. Now is a good time to tell him.”
“Ok.” Eve nods.
When I need personal space, I take it outdoors. I don’t calm down well in enclosed spaces. If you want to give me a room, let me keep the one I have now. I can use it for storage.            Eve
Very well.      Owen
Why did that sound like you sighed in frustration when you typed that?   Eve
Because I did.   Owen
Sorry. I’m honestly not trying to be difficult.           Eve
I know. It is not you. I have had a frustrating day so far and am trying to work through a few things right now. Being frustrated already only makes me more on edge. It is I who should be sorry.   Owen
Don’t be. I understand.      Eve
Last question. Does Samuel really have to be allowed everywhere in our rooms? I do not relish the thought of a claw in delicate areas at an inopportune time.      Owen
Eve snorts with laughter as she climbs out of the car and follows Fox to the elevator.
No, he does not. I will find some way of keeping him out of the bedroom and bathroom when I get upstairs. Maybe Xander will help me.                  Eve
Thank you.                Owen
Owen stares down at his phone. a slight smile tugging at his lips. He knew she would try to keep the cat out but it would be a losing battle. She just didn’t know it yet. With a soft sigh, he stands up and walks into the house. He looks around, realizing this is the first time he’s really been left alone in this house for any real length of time. His lips curve up and he sets off upstairs to where she said her old bedroom was to explore.
