Red Riding Hood (1x1 w/Pinkedalink

[Pinkedalink]

Red, getting a bit irritated, stormed her way next to him and grabbed him by the shoulders. "Look at me James." She forced him so that he was facing her and she looked up at him. "What is it? Tell me!" she demanded, her blue eyes flashing at him. She didn't like being out of the loop, and she wanted him to tell her. Immediately. She loosened her grip on him slightly, but still had her hands on his shoulders.

Granny shook her head slightly as she turned around and left the room. She was a bit shaken, and she needed some tea or something. She headed down the stairs and into the kitchen.

Jame's golden brown eyes softened the moment they leveled with hers, he couldnt help but take in a sharp breath by the beautiful glare in her gaze, she was at her most glorious point when she was angry. The corners of his mouth curved up into a famous Mona Lisa smile, he didnt seem to mind her hands on his shoulder, he cleared his throat, all serious again,"The wolf's after...you." Fear pooling in his eyes,"and it could be anybody." he didnt need to say no more, because then right on cue someone knocked on the front door downstairs, it was the priest.

Red, even though she was mad, her heart jumped looking at his beautiful eyes. A smile reluctantly made it's way on her face as she looked at him. It was hard to stay angry with him, especially when she was looking right at him. Her heart jumped in her throat at his words and her face paled as she dropped her hands. "It's after...me?" Her voice was low and she jumped with fright as her Granny opened the door with the priest right behind her.

Granny had allowed the priest to come in and taken him up to Red's room where she looked at the girl, knowing James must've told her.

(Sorry, i wrote that last post wrong so i edited it^^ hehe)

The priest cleared his throat when he came in,"Am i interrupting anything?" he asked apologetically, although his tone suggested he didnt really care. James shook his head and looked down,"Not at all..What can we do for you?" James acted like he didnt know what Saint Peter was here for, the priest gave them a puzzled look,"You dont know? The whole towns talking about it...you may want to sit down." James glanced at Red.

[Pinkedalink]

Red didn't say anything, just looked at the priest with her vacant, blue eyes. She stayed quiet, listening and studying his expression. "It is not unusual for the whole town to be talking about something, what is if Father?" She asked in an extremely patient tone. She looked at James before plopping down on her bed, sitting up as she looked at them.

The priest was nearly breathless from all that running,"The wolf...its after you." he coughed."I'm sending for an expert on these issues, he'll get the job done." He then stepped forward and patted Red's shoulder,"By gods speed..We wont let it take you." he nodded, actually meaning it, then turned and left. James came up from behind Red,"So..there ya have it." he tried to smile, but failed miserably.

[Pinkedalink]

Red listened with her eyes vacant, frightened but there was a hint of a fire behind that blank stare. She nodded as she listened to the priest before she looked down at her hands. She turned to look at James, her blue eyes now full of a scared emotion. "James. . ." She didn't finish, her lips quivering.

Granny left the room then, her mind filled with frightened thoughts.

James nodded, his eyes were calm and precise, he already had a plan thought out, and would tell her once she'd calm down.
He pulled her to him, gently carressing her in his arms, nestling his head in her hair,"You're going to be alright..." before he knew it he had let out the words,"..I love you." flinching at the effect of the words on himself.

[Pinkedalink]

Red leaned her head against him, sighing as she strove to control and make sense of the emotions coursing through her body. She loved the way he made her feel, the way he held her so gently in his arms, it was something she never wanted to be taken from her. When he said she was going to be alright, she would've asked him how he knew that but the words died in her throat as the little blonde heard his declaration of love. Her heart thudded hard in her chest, for a moment she couldn't breathe as she moved her head to look up at him, eyes wide with doe-eyed innocence and delight, her small hands on his chest. "You do?" Her voice was soft, "James I love you too. I've loved you..since forever."

[LaMariposayLaOruga]

Jame's couldnt help but tighten his hold on her when she said 'I love you' back to him, his eyes melted at first sight of her caramel gaze, his heart shuddered. His voice was much softer when he spoke again,"Even when I stuck mud in your hair..?" he smiled, bringing up old memories of the past was always better then thinking of the haunted future ahead.
His hand reached forward and stroked down the side of her cheek, to her jawbone, and he slowly tipped his head to the side, leaning forward as he closed his eyes..
