Author Note-I actually wrote this as the
first chapter, but had to put build up in otherwise it would have been
confusing. Enjoy!
Millicent Supinel stood outside the gate
of the sprawling Reed mansion and took a deep breath before opening the Iron
Gate. Normally it would have kept any
magic user from opening it, but Millicent was no ordinary magic user.
The road leading up to the house was at
least a mile long, but the levitation spell she used got her there in only a
few minutes. She was however surprised
that the Master of the house wasn't standing impatiently at the porch demanding
to know who dared cross his boundary.
Then again, Clow Reed was never known for predictability.
Millicent adjusted the bodice of her
silver Grecian revival gown, retied the black braided rope that held it to her
shape, patting her unruly cap of mahogany curls held in some sort of fashion
with a rather long strand of pearls held closed with a large pigeons blood ruby
clasp, and used her magic to knock on the door, satisfied when she heard the
noise echo through the sprawling house.
She waited, and waited, and waited some
more, tapping her satin slippered foot impatiently.
The oppressive heat and humidity was
starting to get to her, when a hole opened up in the porch and a tall man with
long dark hair and spectacles rose from it, holding a sword pointed at her
heart.
"En garde!" The man yelled.
Momentarily startled, Millicent thought
she might succumb to the weak London female weakness of fainting. Taking a deep br she she calmed herself and
drew herself up to her full height of five feet five inches and stared down the
man with the fencing sword.
"Really Clow, must you go and scare
the wits out of anyone knocking on your door?"
Ocean blue eyes blinked behind the
spectacles and the sword lowered.
"I felt your magic when you passed through the gate, but how did
you get past my wards?"
"I opened the gate. You should get a new one though, the one you
currently have is so old and rusted you can barely open it at all."
"But the spell, you shouldn't have
been able to pass through it at all without my permission." Was the
surprised reply.
"You have been out by yourself in the
country too long, have you forgotten the party in London where you told me to
come visit you anytime I wanted?" A dark feathered eyebrow arched
delicately at the absolutely puzzled expression on the man's face.
"London party? But I haven't been to one of those in at
least five years."
"I know, but it took me that long to
track you down. You, man of mystery
that you are, are easy to lose track of in the blink of an eye." Millicent poked his robed chest with the tip
of her lacy parasol.
Clow Reed, said man of mystery, was
currently wondering at the mystery of this female standing at his door in the
most remote sea coast corner of Wales.
"I'm sure, but who are you?"
Amber eyes opened widely in surprise, then
she sighed. His entire family had
warned her that Clow was slightly scatter brained and didn't remember things
all the time. "Alright, since you
insist on this, here's a refresher, and do pay attention, I don't want to
repeat it again. I am Millicent
Supinel." She made a polite
curtsey to him.
Clow searched his memory and came up with
a obscure memory. pan>pan>"Of the Paris
Supinel's?"
"Yes Clow. Though none of my family has lived in Paris for quite some
time. Not after the revolution."
Clow pondered that thought for a moment
before opening the front door and ushering Millicent inside. "I seem to remember my grandmother
taking in a family during that time."
This was one of those moments she felt
like banging her head into the wall.
"Clow, pay attention. Take
a long and very good look at me and let it sink into your head."
Those ocean eyes blinked for a moment at
her forwardness, but eventually did as she requested. He took in the unruly dark hair, the intricate pearl wrap, the
creamy white skin, the sherry colored eyes, the pert nose, and full pouty
lips. He gazed on the graceful neck and
sloping shoulders, her full breasts, and shapely curves, right down her
everlasting legs and small feet. He
wracked his brain for some small piece of recognition, and he got it in the
form of a childhood memory of a small always ragged looking girl, dragging a
doll behind her as she trailed after him across the grounds of the London
house. Then another, smaller memory, of
girl fresh from the schoolroom at her coming out party in London.
"Hello?" Millicent called tentatively, not knowing
who else might reside in the house.
A large leonine head poked into the study
and gazed around for its Master.
"Master Clow?"
"Over here," Millicent called,
"behind the chair."
The large lion padded over, and began
snarling as soon as it spotted Millicent holding an unconscious Clow. "What have you done to my Master?"
This creature was obviously Clow's
familiar, and for a moment Millie was afraid the lion would do her some harm.
"I mean no harm. I have been looking for Clow for some five
years now. In the past two years I have
worked diligently to locate him and tell him about the passing of his mother
and grandmother." Millie related
to the lion, hoping to forestall any attack that might have been forthcoming.
"Sandiana died?" The Lion sat on its haunches and looked at
her with sad eyes.
Nodding Millicent retold the story to the
familiar.
"Master Clow always spoke fondly of
his Grandmother Sandiana and mother Blair.
How did you get this information?"
"I'm a very close friend of the
family. My name is Millicent
Supinel." She said as she introduced herself.
"So you're the fabled Millie. Clow likes to tell stories about his
childhood at bedtime. I'm Keroberos,
the Master's guardian."
"A pleasure to meet you
Keroberos. Clow fell asleep, could you
assist me in getting him to his bed?"
"Uh…sure. Let me get the cards, it'll be a lot easier." The lion said before dashing out of the
room.
"Cards? What good are cards going to do right now?" Millie asked herself as she tried to stand
up with the rather large sleeping man in her arms.
A minute or so later the yellow-orange
furred creature came back carrying a handful of elongated playing cards.
A/N-Yes
I had to end it here. Why you ask? Cause I got stuck here that’s why. I have no idea when chapter 4 will be
done. I haven’t even written a piece of
it yet.
