This is not yet done i will be adding to it.

Bernadette sat in her favorite room of the house, her library. Inside her library she could go anywhere she chose. Her library was filled with artifacts that her parents and her grandparents and uncles had given her when they went on there trips around the globe.
But she was not in a position to travel the wondrous world. Not when she had this gift, and if anyone found out about it, she would be used, and manipulated. She could sense things that of all artifacts, and human presences. And those human presences were the ones that she has talked to. She has to literally meet them before their presences are recognizable.
Now that someone knew about her gift, she was no longer safe. James made it clear that she was not to leave the house unless she was with him. She was frightened, he knew that. She did not even tell him but he knew. She was positive of it.
She closed the book, she was attempting to read but lost interest when she was thinking about going out side, and when she thought about going outside she thought about James. James her fiancée.
Right now he was using her study as his own study so he was able to stay at her country home and be able to take care all of his personal belongings at his own estates. She walked over to the window that looked out towards the cave of many secrets. She was so interested in them and yet she could not go see them, she looked away and bit her lip, what if she snuck out for just a few hours. James was in the study doing…whatever he does in there, he would not come out till dinner. It was only two right now and dinner was not until 7 that was plenty of time to head to the caves and back and be changed for dinner. James would never know.
Bernadette half ran half walked to her bedroom grabbed a pair of shoes that were more appropriate for climbing, grabbed her older cloak and carefully made her way out of the house through the back.
She walked softly and cautiously through the back yard constantly aware of her surroundings. She never heard the footsteps she also did not have time to welcome the presence she felt. For a hand grabbed her waist the other her shoulder. He spun her around.
Bernadette gasped her eyes wide, There stood James….livid.
“ What on earth are you doing? Do you have any idea of what was going through my mind when I look out the study window and see you moving in the back yard away from the house! Away from me. Do you know what that did. If you were going up to those caves alone and something happened to you where would I be. What would I do you something happened to you?” James had so much emotion behind his words that his breathing was strained, his chest heaving, his eyes filled with fear, hurt and anger. The hands at her waist and shoulder were tight, probably leaving a bruise there. What would her maid think if she saw.She reached up a hand and brushed his cheek. He shut his eyes and tilted his head into her hand. He sniffed her wrist.
“ I am sorry. I did not think you were watching, and I thought that I would be back in plenty of time so you would not know that I was missing.” Bernadette whispered. James tuned his head toward her and opened his eyes.
“ Please don’t leave me” James choked out.
“ I wont” and she kissed him.
The kiss was sweet, like the others. She pulled him closer and he obliged. Groaning as he did. Suddenly he pulled away. Bernadette looked up at him with confusion.
“oh please don’t look at me like that. But if I continue with what I started then I will end up seducing you and I don’t plan on doing that yet until our wedding night.” James said with a smile on his face. “ you also never said yes to my proposal.”
“you never really gave me any choice but I think you know what my answer is” Bernadette replied.
“ I believe I do know what you answer is. And I will like to discuss what will happen after the wedding during dinner.” James smile widened.
They walked hand in hand back to the house to change for dinner.


Bernadette strode down the grand staircase of her town house dressed for dinner. She wore her usual low cut dark blue gown with a tampered waist, and like her other gowns, it was too long. It trailed the floor behind her as if she was walking through water and parting it. Her hair was partially pulled up, the rest dangled to her waist in long luscious curls. She also had bangs that framed her face making her face a little bit more hearts shaped. Her eyes stood out against her gown. They were such a light blue almost silver. James waited at the end of the stairs leaning against the banister. His head focused some where else. He turned his head to look at her. His mouth fell open, he is eyes wide.
Bernadette reached the bottom of the stairs and grabbed his hand. She smiled.
James shook his head and smiled back. He offered her his arm and she gladly took it. They traveled in to the dinning room.
James sat Bernadette into a chair and he took the one across from her. The first course was served.
James and Bernadette sat there eating in silence until finally James spoke up, “ After the wedding I have to go back to my town house, I need to introduce you to the entire staff and you need to see society again since you are now married. They need to know that you are not in the marriage mart any more. I know that the entire society already knows that we are to be married but I want to show everyone how I feel about my new bride.”
“ Bernadette looked at James. “ What about my caves?” She mumbled.
“ I don’t want you up in those caves. Not until I find out what is going on up there. I don’t want you hurt. I don’t want to lose you”
Bernadette lowered her head. She needs to figure out what is in those caves before the wedding. Heck she did not even know when the wedding was. She was going to half to figure out what was in those caves and quickly before they leave for the town house.
“ okay. When exactly is the wedding?”
God she was so innocent James thought. Those eyes had so much emotion in them. She would never be able to lie to him. Those innocent eyes of hers told everything.
“Three weeks from today I was hoping.”
That is plenty of time she thought. She should be able to get through the entire cavern within the week.Bernadette smiled and nodded her head. James smiled to.


Bernadette heard James close the bedroom door. He creaked around getting ready for bed. She creaked around getting ready to go to the cliff. She pulled on some britches which she asked her butler for. She also asked for a belt and a shirt. Her butler was just a bit more bigger then she was.
Bernadette heard James climb into bed. She went underneath her own grabbed her bag of items that she used to dig up antics and slipped on her shoes, and headed out her bedroom door. She saw no light on in James room and she quickly ran passed his room down the hall, down the steps and out through the front door. She listened for the sound of someone following her. Nothing.
She quietly moved around the house keeping to the shadows. She stopped….she felt no presences. She turned around the corner of the house , her feet silent in the night.
Bernadette grabbed the lantern off of the back porch but did not light it. If James saw a light he might be look into the matter.
