"I don't like this being out at night leaving Newsham where there going to be guards to stop us." Alan said to Vincent feeling worry at the moment.
"Don't not worry I have a friend who has taken care of the guards for us."
Hearing Vincent say that in such a way make him worry more as this friend of his must have down something bad to the guards.
They soon arrived at the other end of Newsham gate where there was a hooded finger standing there.
"Is that him?." Alan ask.
"Yes it him stop next to him, I wish to speak to home for a moment if you do not mind."
"Sure." Alan did what Vincent request of him and stop next to the man.
Vincent jumped down to be to face with the man.
"Thank you for doing this for me."
"Not a problem we are brothers who came from the same order there is no reason to not help each other." he said.
Vincent then shacks the man hand and went back to joining Alan and the others as all of them pass through the gate leaving behind Newsham.
===========================
10 Days have passed as Vincent travel along with Alan, Sallie, the little girl Isabella and Godfrey.
His next destination is Gogary Kingdom to where Vincent can make the person who hired him. On the 11 day Vincent was staring at the fire that was created when they sit up camper for the night where the air was getting colder.
Sallie and Isabella was sleeping together in a warm blanket Godfrey sleeping beside Vincent.
Only him and Sallit father was still up, but the two was quite not saying a word to each other until finally Alan spoke to break that silence.
"So I have noticed… we never got to know your name… if you don't mind telling us." Alan statter while he talk as it seems he was nervous.
"My name Vincent." he told Alan his name without a care which the man didn't think would be that easy.
"That a good name your father has given you." Alan said.
"I never met my father."
"Your mother then."
"Never met her either." Alan had no words to say after hearing that it even made the man feel sad for Vincent.
"You don't know who your parents are then who rise you."
"My uncle rise me." Vincent told Alan even if it a half-truth since really he was rise mostly by The Brotherhood of Infernos, but he thought it was best to keep that to himself.
"I am sorry must be hard to never have to know your parents."
"Not really, I learn everything that I needed to know from my uncle."
"I see he must be a good man to take care all by himself." Alan said.
'If only you know how he truly is, you would not say the word good about that man.' Vincent thought to himself.
"You know I am like your uncle since I am taking care of Sallie my daughter on my own didn't travel with me at the beginning. Me and my wife Marisa lived in the same village, I wanted to make our lives better to live like those nobles to live in a big and nice house, I mean who wouldn't. so I chose to be traveling merchant to sell anything to make money from."
Alan took a moment to pause looking at his daughter then back to Vincent and kept talking.
"It took a lot of my time away from the village and my loving wife as I always hated to see her sad when I leave, I felt bad for the job I was doing as it was taking a lot of my time. Then one day Marisa told me she was pregnant, now I'll be honest here at that time, I had my doubts since I was a man who speat lot of time away from the village. Yet on the day Sallie was born and I saw those brown eyes that was the same as mine, I knew right then she was mine and I felt wrong for having doubts."
"Then things went on as urinals until one day, when I return back to the village, I received the news from her mother that my lovely wife Marisa pass away a few days a sickness took her life. I was heartbroken to hear about my wife passing to never be there at her final moments and right then I knew that I had to be apart of my daughter's life, making the decision to leave our home behind and travel together. I am still determined to make the dream, I hope dear to my heart to make come true for my daughter."
Alan was then done talking as silents came again then Vincent had a question that he wasted to ask the man.
"What about the man that was killed by those bandits."
"Huh? Oh you mean Carter yeah he was a good man that I hired to be our guard traveling with us. The man has been our guard for only a few months until his death and now I am going to have to look for another one to be hired. I was thinking maybe…"
"Whatever you about to ask of me it is a no." Vincent said while cutting off Alan.
"Oh I see." Alan look disappointed to have his offer that he didn't have the chance of telling Vincent get rejected so fast.
"You must understand Alan, I am someone that walks a path that you or your daughter can not be apart of."
"What about the little girl?." Alan brought up the little girl Isabella.
"You can take her with you or just leave her to a nearby village or town for someone to take her in."
Vincent saw that Alan did not like what he just said about Isabella.
"You sound as if you do not care for Isabella, that is cold Vincent that little girl save your life do you not wish to help the poor girl."
"I can give her as much money, I have on me to her to be kept fed and clothed that all I can do."
Alan couldn't believe this it like Vincent have no such emotion in him like he is talking to an undead.
"We should get some rest." Alan said grabbing his blanket out and find a place to sleep not want to keep on this talk with Vincent.
Vincent on the other hand stay up to keep watch for the night after a while he slowly then close his eyes.
"Wake up Vincent." A soft and soothing familiar voice belong to a female he hears.
Vincent quickly opened his eyes to find himself alone around the fire nobody was there yet he shows no such concern about the situation.
"Rise up Vincent and find me." he can hear that familiar voice again.
Vincent knows who this person well and so he starts looking for her and soon he finds her standing alone with her thick, straight, ivory hair is medium-length and is worn in an elegant style. She has an hourglass build and Her skin is white.
Without saying a word, she slowly turn behind to face him with those slitted black eyes that are like two lumps of coal.
"Adeline." out of nowhere Vincent called out her name without thinking, but that put a smile on her face.
"I am happy that you still remember me Vincent." she moved slowly up to him as he does not move, but kept a close on her.
"Why keep your eyes on me like I am going to do something to you." Adelien laugh after saying that while walking around him.
"Or do you fear that I would do what you did to me back at the order."
"I had no choice at that matter, you…."
"No! You had a choice! You could have fight for me or we could have escape together when we had the time."
Adeline no longer show that kind smile as it was replaced with an angry expression towards him.
"Like I said I had no choice Adeline, you made your decision to run away from the order, you seal your fate."
"Of course keep telling yourself that Vincent to make yourself feel better, I know how you truly feel."
"You know nothing of how you I feel! Adeline." slient came as the two stand face to face.
Adeline then took a step back Vincent knew what she is planning, but he does not look away
"Let me show you what you did to me." Adelien starts to bleed from stab wounds on appearing on her body.
There was so much blood coming out of her that Vincent didn't notice, but things began to change around him.
Vincent can tell immediately that he was back at the order of The Brotherhood of Inferno holding a dagger in his hand as they were covered in so much blood.
He also saw Adelie body laying flat on the ground cover in a pool of her blood.
"Don't you see what you have done to the one your loved, you choose the order over me, how can have done that, I love you."
Vincent didn't say anything, he was quiet.
"Oh nothing to say now Vincent or you do not want to say anything." Vincent can only hear her voice as he stares at her dead right in front of him.
He knows this is just an illusion to make him feel horrible for what he had done to her.
So Vincent bring up the dagger in his hand against his chest and stabbing it deep into it to help him wake and it did.
Vincent awake with sweat coming down his body and notices that he shaking in fear.
'Could that nightmare affected me more then, I thought no I can't let something like this bother me.' Vincent couldn't tell at the moment if that really was a nightmare or something more behind.
Vincent rise up and start walking around to keep himself from thinking too much into it.
