Spellbound

Chapter Fourteen

The room shook and spun rapidly and Emma's vision blurred. She lost grip of the sink and crashed to the floor.
"Head maid is gonna be maaaad," she heard the awful blonde maid say before everything went black.

---------------------------------------------------------

Roman held the vile in his hand, mesmerised by the pink liquid inside.
100% affective, 100% of the time. All you gotta do is kiss them by sunset! The label said.
"This is what I want, right?"
He looked to the tea's and coffee's. Mark only drank coffee. Virgil mostly drank coffee. Logan drank tea. Patton drank tea.
"Don't mess this up," he said to himself.

He grabbed the vile and poured it into one of the teacups and brought the tray downstairs.
"Hey guys," he smiled.
"Hi Roman," Mark smiled, "lovely weather we're having. Perfect weather for riding on horseback, am I right?" He looked to him anxiously.

All eyes turned to Roman in anticipation. He stared at him for a moment.
"I agree," he said, nodding.
The other four sighed in relief.
"I've got your drinks," he held the tray out.

Logan reached for one of the teacups.
"That's Patton's!" he panicked.
"....um...okay?"
"It's got a ton of sugar in, as much as I would love to see you on a sugar rush, you've probably never had sugar before, your heart will probably go crazy,"
Logan rolled his eyes and took the other cup.

'Thank you,"
"Welcome," he smiled.
He shared the other drinks out and watched Logan sip on his tea.
"So Roman, about that weather?" Mark asked.
"Mhm?"
"Do you maybe...wanna....ride out for the day?"
"Will we be back before sunset?"
"Probably, wh-"
"-then yeah, sounds good," he smiled and walked out the room, "I'll get Copper."

All jaws dropped.
"Did you just....did he just......are you guys...." Logan stumbled for words.
"Thanks for the advice, Virgil," he smiled.
"Told you, horses, always go with horses,"

---------------------------------------------------------

"Did I just seriously agree to that?" Roman said to himself.
He smiled,
"Probably just some sorceror stuff."

"What are you doing?!" the figure called from behind Roman, startling him.
"Jeeze, warn a guy next time," he spun to face him.
"You can't waste time! Couples kiss, you know!"
Roman took a moment to think.
The figure sighed,
"He's gonna be his kiss before sunset!"
"Oh!" Roman rushed around and grabbed everything he may need.

As he grabbed, he asked,
"So what happens if I don't kiss him by sunset?"
"The magic will have worn off and you would have missed your chance,"
He turned to face him.
"Haven't you got more?"
"No! Now go!" he pushed him out the stables.

---------------------------------------------------------

Roman rode Copper over to where Mark was.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Mhm," he smiled, wobbling on the sadle.
"Ever rode a horse before?"
"Once,"
He laughed,
"This is gonna be fun."

"It's nice to see those two getting along," Patton smiled.

---------------------------------------------------------

Roman laughed as the wind blew in his hair, racing on Copper.
"Isn't this great, Mark?"
When he didn't get an answer, Copper turned back.
"Mark?" he laughed, "oh my God, what are you doing?"

Mark had slid under the horse and was still connected to the saddle.
"I need some assistance,"
Roman laughed and slid off Copper, advancing towards him.
"Honestly, you're useless,"
