{Scotland} The Library

Carys Chase with Malcolm MacBain

Jul 1

*Walking through the castle that is Uncle Malcolm's darkhaven, I check out every room I can. Knowing he has to have a library here some where, I open a set of double doors, heavy thick wood it takes a little effort to push them open. I stop and gasp as soon as I see his office. Malcolm arches a brow as he looks up from the paper he's reading..* I'm sorry! I was looking for books, the library..

  Carys Chase *Smiling a little I walk in and look around at the shelves and shelves of books.* Are you sure? I can come back later. I have memorized where everything is here. *Looking down at my shoes* I don't want to be a disturbance, sir.

  Malcolm MacBain *Reaching up he removes a leather bound book* You didn't disturb me. I was almost done.. *Hands the book to his niece* Here perhaps this might interest you. Robert Burns book of poetry. You know he wrote his share of love poems, *Smiles slightly* Ye know he had a way with the ladies.

  Malcolm MacBain *Rubbing his hand through his hair he looks away* Aye, I know. But do not think I'll be judging ye, Carys. It's not my place. But I am worried about your choice of male companion and the places ye frequent. They are dark and dangerous. Even for a Breed.

  Carys Chase *Nodding, I hold the book tighter to me.* I know but, I had no idea I was being watched. *Not that it mattered, I would have been with Rune regardless I think to myself* I haven't told anyone but, I haven't spoken to the male in question since I found out about the video.

  Malcolm MacBain *Anger and concern wells up in me as I look at this special young lady. Anger at those that would hurt and shun her and concern for her safety.* Aaa lassie. *Takes a deep breath* Carys, you know we love you and would only do what has to be done to protect you. *Turns to look at the stack*

  Carys Chase *Fighting the urge to roll my eyes because I have heard this so many times, I just nod.* Yes, sir. I know. And, I don't just go out and act like a stupid girl. I made a mistake..huge mistake and I am dealing with it. *Sighing* Not very well I suppose.

  Malcolm MacBain *Taking another leather bound book, he smiles at the title, Romeo and Juliet a gift from Shakesphere to his mother. Turning around he hands the book to Carys* The heart makes us do things we might not do under different circumstances. So I hope you understand why Lucan would exercise caution when it came to you coming here to Scotland.

  Carys Chase *Taking the book I smile at the title.* I know, I'm luck to have my phone. I noticed it does weird things when I text Jordana, and when I call home. Must be something Uncle Gideon did to it.

  Malcolm MacBain *In a matter of fact tone* Aye. Gid did make an adjustment to your phone. You can only talk to the family and friends that Gideon program in your device.

  Carys Chase Oh. *Biting my lip* I figured as much. *I look at the books he has given me to read and sigh* It's probably for the best anyway, you know?

  Malcolm MacBain *Letting out a deep breath I take the books from her. I knew that Lucan would be angry if what I was about to do jeopardized Cary's safety* Cary, I hate to see such sadness in your beautiful face. *Fishing the phone from my sporran and places it in her hand* You have 5 minutes to make your call. I hope I can trust you not to reveal your location.

  Carys Chase *My eyes widen as he places his phone in my hand* Are you sure? I won't say a word, I promise. * Turning from him, I dial Runes number. He answers on the third ring and I talk fast, telling him I miss him and that I'm on a trip with my mother. When he asks where I lie and say Canada, it was the first thing that popped into my head. We talk for a few minutes and I tell him I will call him when I get home. Ending the call I give the phone back to Malcolm and smile wide.* Thank you for that.

  Malcolm MacBain *Looking out over the moon lit loch from the balcony I give her as much privacy as possible. I could not judge her only give her the protection that I would give to all my family and if that bastard dared hurt her I would drive my dagger into his black heart. Turning at her voice, her face was aglow. Taking the phone from her I place it back into my leather sporran* Yer welcome Carys, Remember this is our secret.

  Carys Chase Our secret Uncle Malcolm. *Taking the books back from him, I give him a quick one armed hug.* Thank you, thank you..*Beamng, up at him, he nods and I turn to leave. Walking out of the library I close the doors behind me and with the heavy books in my arms I hurry to my room to read.*~
