The Garden

[Kitania Walker]

Kitania's influence on the enchanted back garden is evident. The whole is thing is a large and stunning Chinese water garden with a beautiful Wooden Pagoda situated on the vasty Koi-Karp and lily pond. The Lily pads are thick and big enough to use as stepping stones across the water.
Beautiful pink flowering cherry trees and willows adorn the banks and the sound pf running water from the stone waterfall fills you with a sense of tranquility.

Take a seat in the Pagoda, enjoy the view, and relax.

[Sebastian Morter]

Sebastian pulled Krys into the garden, smiling evily. The moon was only a crescent, not precisely what he'd had in mind but he saw the pagoda and pulled her towards it, their fingers intwined as he climbed up the steps of the miniature house.
He smiled, and sat down on the couch.
"Alright...you sober enough?" He asked her smiling.

[Krysta Hedwig]

She grinned back at him, enjoying the cool night air on her face and limbs. A gentle breeze played through the little wooden house and the moonlight bounced on the water hypnotically.
"Perfectly, my love." she told him. She reached out and ran her fingertips over his face. Her smile became sad.
"Are you going to tell me what happened to you?" she asked, her eyes full of concern.

Sebastian smiled his hand moving to his side pocket. He sighed closing his eyes as her fingers brushed over his face. He felt her feelings change and his eyes flashed open wincing slightly when she spoke.
"Kay..let's not get into that now...it's your birthday..."

[Krysta Hedwig]

Krysta saw him flinch and sighed. They couldn't go on like this. Sebastian had to learn to control the connection between their minds or it would send him insane. She wondered if he'd ever taken Occlumency. Being able to feel each other's feelings was wonderful if it was by choice, but it shouldn't be forced on him like this.
She studied his face carefully, but eventually nodded with a small smile.
"You're right it is my birthday." she said quietly, still running her fingers down his face, cradling it softly in her hand. She moved closer and kissed him, sliding her other arm around his waist. She kissed him softly but lovingly, just savouring the feel of his lips on hers, the taste of him. All she felt for him was in that kiss: love, tenderness, passion, compassion and hope.

[Sebastian Morter]

Sebastian noticed the sigh and leant back taking a deep breath.
He smiled slightly as her fingers ran down his face, the warmth exhilarating. He sighed when she kissed him able to feel every emotion as clearly as if it were written across the sky. Slowly he lifted her into his lap without breaking the kiss, his own spirits lifting. The thought ran across his mind, at the fact that he was so lucky to have her. She was like a jugsaw piece that was made for him, suited perfectly to tessalate with him. She knew him better than he knew himself and it didn't raise even a twinge of annoyance to him. He'd always needed someone like her, a perfect piece of compassion and hope. A reason to get up in the morning. She was that for him. His reason for life.

[Krysta Hedwig]

When he pulled her onto his knee she gasped slightly, a tiny sound coming from her throat. Then she smiled into the kiss and held his head in both hands as she continued to kiss him. She could feel his contentment and reciprocated with her own, sighing softly. She could feel his need or her, how dependant on her he was becoming and an intense passion for him rose from her chest.
She cupped his face with one hand, stroking his cheek with her thumb, sliding her fingers down his neck, finally resting her hand on his chest.
She'd never felt like this. She didn't even know she could. They just seemed made for each other, like this had been planned and they were destined to find each other no matter what life threw at them. Krysta had never believed in soul mates...until now.
Suddenly she broke the kiss and pulled her head back a little so she could look at his face. She traced her fingers down his cheek and sucked her bottom lips. She was so full of emotion she could barely contain it. A tear rolled down her cheek, she couldnt stop it. She opened her mouth to speak but what came out was barely a whisper.
"I love you, Sebastian."

[Sebastian Morter]

Sebastian smiled against her lips, his hands around her waist pulling her closer to him. It was becoming reflex, if she was around he had to have her close to him, he couldn't fathom the idea of losing her. He hadn't yet thought about the future, too wrapped up in his own little world.
He heard her sigh, suddenly hit by her emotions he closed his eyes letting the feeling envelope him. He could feel her hand on his heart and he sighed slowly taking her hand and kissing it.

She looked thoughtful and he continued kissing up her arm, trailing the kisses to her shoulder. He felt something wet fall onto his palm, a single tear. Looking up, he shrugged sadly, pulling her into a tight hug. It was slightly overwhelming trying to think when someone was flooded with emotion but he put it aside, just like he'd done that night and looked straight into her eyes.
"No one can ever love you more that I can." He murmured, "I love you"

[Krysta Hedwig]

She held his gaze, sapphires and onyx locked together softly. Her fingers rested softly in his cheek and she smiled, their feelings for each other melding and becoming one emotion.
"No. No one could ever love me like you. And I could never love anyone else like this. Never." They weren't just words. It was the truth. They were bound to each other now. No matter what happened to them she would always love him and he would always carry a part of her wherever he went.
"I shall always be with you. No matter far away you are from me, I shall always be inside you. I am yours, Sebastian." she told him softly. Another tear ran down her cheek, but it was a tear of happinness, of immense emotion.
She leant her cheek against his, her hand feeling his heart beat through his chest. It was a reassuring feeling, feeling his life-force beneath her fingers.
She moved her face, burying it in his neck and kissing his skin. Her hand moved up his chest, sliding over the skin on the other side of his neck. She twisted her body in his lap so she was turned into him, placing slow, loving kisses all over his neck.
This was so perfect. The night breeze blew gently through her hair and she sighed. She'd never felt so happy.

[Sebastian Morter]

Sebastian didn't let his eyes move from her's, locked in paradise. He barely felt her fingers on his cheek he was lost in her eyes the deep blue totally mesmerising. He ran his hands up her sides wrapping them around her tiny waist. He could feel the warmth emanating off her, the emotions stronger when they were close, touching. He leaned his forhead against hers his dark hair creating a curtain between them.
He knew when she spoke, there couldn't have been a plainer truth, "Never" He repeated softly the breeze blowing his hair into his eyes.
"I won't let you go far" He murmured pulling her towards his chest, he paused momentarily, struggling with himself "I won't let you go" Sebastian choked out, swallowing his pride and telling her.
Her hand rested on his heart and he could feel the warmth of her hand through his shirt. At that moment, he would've given her anything and everything and the moment was forever. He would give her anythign and everything as long as she was safe and happy. He couldn't understand how quickly it had happened. He'd thought it corny when in fairytales the prince and princess got together and married in two weeks with a huge extravagant weddding. But Sebastian understood now, it was love the unrestrainable force, the one person your heart wouldn't beat without. He understood it know, he'd experienced it. But he knew she was the only one that could make him smile, forget even. He felt her kisses on her neck and stiffened still slightly tense but he relaxed her kisses sending electricity flying through him.

[Krysta Hedwig]

Krysta sighed, just enjoying being here with him. They sat there for ages, just enjoying the night air and each other's presence.
She thought about everthing that had happened since they'd met. She couldn't believe it had been such a short time ago. She felt like she'd known him for years.
Her body still ached from the Cruciatus curse, but she pushed it away, just focusing on his closeness. She thought about the crazy night they'd had, the happiness of Bella and Sam, her stupid bout of jealousy and of course Kelly.
She sighed into his neck again and nuzzled her face into the curve between his head and shoulder. Suddenly she smiled.
"Hey wait a minute, Mister. Didn't you say you had a present for me?" she asked playfully. She sat up and looked into his face, smiling.
"Gimme." she ordered softly.

[Sebastian Morter]

Sebastian's lips turned into a smile when she asked for the present. In actual fact he'd almost forgotten all about it.
"When did someone get so pushy?" He asked laughing. Sighing softly he pulled it out of his pocket. A slender blue velvet box. He held it in his long fingers trying not to be too obvious in his attempts to draw out the moment. It felt so inadequate now and yet he opened the weathered box slowly revealing the slightly yellowing satin interior.
Inside, pinned carefully to the material was a sapphire pendant, diamond cut surrounded by a cluster of intricately woven sparkling metal. The chain was tiny threads of metal woven to create a band with so many different cuts it appeared like thousands of diamonds plaid into it.
"It was my mother's" He murmured looking down at it, "It matches your eyes" He told her softly.

[Krysta Hedwig]

Krysta giggled at his comment, and her eyes sparkled when she saw the box. She smiled as he held it gently and carefully removed the lid.
As her gaze fell on the pendant her lips parted. She stared at the necklace, her expression unreadable. She gazed at it silently, taking in its beauty. It was stunning, elegant, the intense blue stone catching the moonlight, sparkling in her eyes. She couldn't speak. The tips of her pale fingers touched her lips. She was completely ovewhelmed. She wanted to tell im it was the most beautiful thing anyone had ever given her. She wanted to say how much she loved it. But no words seemed to do her thoughts justice.
Her fingers left her lips to touch the stone and she looked into his eyes.
"Oh, Sebastian." she whispered, her fingers leaving the stone to touch his cheek. She kissed him softly.
She suddenly realised what the fight had been about at home and her heart hurt for him. Another girl would have told him to take it back and return it to his Mother, but Krysta was not another girl. She understood why he'd done it, and she loved him even more for it. He'd taken it for her. And in her book that made made it hers now. He'd earned it for her.
She lifted her hair off the back of her neck and turned her face away from him.
"You put it on." she told him softly.

[Sebastian Morter]

Sebastian smiled, relieved that she liked it. Closing his eyes into the kiss, he winced when she came to her a realisation.
"Nevermind that" He murmured returning the kiss lovingly.
He carefully unhinged the pendant, still struck by it's beauty. There were many magical things about it, it wasn't just a pendant, he wasn't going to tell her all of it just yet.
"This isn't just any necklace" He said softly unclasping the small hooks, "The actual stone changes color depending on your mood, but they've got to be very strong emotions. I've only ever seen it change twice in one day and that was from this blue to black. But the color change varies on the person" He said softly, putting it around her neck he carefully clasped the lock and turned back to look at her. "Stunning" He murmured talking about herself.
"There's loads more about it as well....you see when it was made in the 1400's it was made as a set with two earrings, a bracelet and a headpiece. It was originally made by a goblin named Ferguk, and the Morter's paid a hefty sum to buy it. At the time, no one knew it had particularly interesting abilities but over the centuries they found that this stone is not just a sapphire.....I don't even think it's a sapphire. It's something else.....something much more special." He gazed into her eyes totally taken by her.

[Krysta Hedwig]

Krysta listened with great interest as he talked about the pendant. She smiled feeling his fingers against the back of her neck, making her shiver. But it was when the pendant fell against her chest that she gasped. A tiny jolt of something she couldn't identify passed through her skin and her fingers went to the pendant thoughtfully.
Sebastian was talking about the Goblin who had made the beautiful piece and she listened with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Do you know what happened to the other pieces?" she asked, looking down at the blue stone. She felt strange; a little dizzy. "What sort of things does it do?" she asked, entranced by it. She felt lightheaded and she realised what was happening.
"It's getting to know me." she told him, a light smile touching her lips. "It knows it belongs to me now." she added, her smile broadening. She studied the stone closely. It shone in the moonlight, soaking up its power. She couldn't help being insatiably curious about it. She wanted to know what the stone was. She'd heard of psychic stones before, and wondered whether it was something similar. But she felt like there was something Sebastian wasn't telling her. She looked at him, searching his eyes.
"I want to know everything." she said, a curious, mischievous glint entering her sparkling eyes.
