THIRD PERSON P.O.V
*HALLWAYS*
The four orphans decided to spend time together in the hallways on the balcony. They are all laughing and joking
among themselves. Vera pushed Corrin and Lucille and Remus laughed at Corrin's face when he fell to the floor from
where he was sitting. All their fun are ruined when they heard the bells rang. And that is a bad sign. Since they are
on the Balcony, They decided to look over what is happening from afar when they saw bandits. As if on cue, a Maiden
went to them.
"Children! Go to your rooms now! Now!" Maiden
The four ran to their rooms and When Lucille entered hers, she saw her adoptive mother fixing some of her things in
a hurry.
"Mother what is happening?" Lucille
"The Bandits will get here sooner. We won't let you children be harmed. You are our future." Maiden
"But Mother. I can't leave you." Lucille
"You have to sweet one." Maiden then handed her Bag to her. She carried it on her bag before embracing her adoptive
mother.
"Please survive mother. Mother please." Lucille
"Shh, shh. Always remember..." Maiden then touched the location of Lucille's heart.
"I will always be here... Don't cry Lucille.... Ratiel will guide you." Maiden then kissed her forehead. Lucille sobbed. When
Remus budged in.
"Remus. Take Lucille. Please... Take care of her." Maiden
"I will... Lucille we have to go." Remus then took Lucille's hand.
"Mother..." Lucille
"I Love you, Lucille." Maiden
"I love you too mother." Lucille then went with Remus. Unknowing to her, her mother had put something in her bag.
*SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE*
Shouts from the Orphanage can be heard.
Some maidens escaped somewhere into the forest and as for Lucille, Remus, Corrin and Vera they ran to the opposite direction. The girls look behind and suddenly sees the orphanage on fire and they stopped.
"The orphanage..." Vera. Corrin suddenly held her hand and dragged her.
"This is no time to mourn we might get caught. And our mothers's effort are put to waste!" Corrin
Vera and Lucille cried silently as the boys are carrying them so they can run faster. And as for the orphanage, it was burnt into ruins.
The four stopped in the middle of the forest and there, the girls bursted to tears.
"W-what will happen now?" Lucille
"We don't know... Mother and the sisters... All of them... What would happen?" Vera. Corrin and Remus look at each other before embracing the girls. Remus embraced Lucille tightly as she cried hard in his arms as same did to Vera and Corrin.
"It's alright. We're still here. We will never leave." Corrin
They decided to camp there while the boys headed out to find food. Vera and Lucille were left on the camp while looking through the things their mothers got for them. Lucille saw her embroidery which her mother knew she loves to do. Vera found the snow globe her foster mother gave her on her 10th name day as tears streamed down her cheeks once again. Lucille tapped her friend on the shoulder before giving her a hug.
"I miss mother..." Vera
"So do i..." Lucille
"What do you think will happen to us now?" Vera
"Hmm... I don't know. You know what? Let's pray to Ratiel and hope he may guide us the right way." Lucille. Vera nodded at her friend before they both kneeled infront of the fire with their hands clasped and eyes closed as they prayed to Ratiel. That She eventually heard.
Remus shooted his arrow and saved Corrin from being dinner of a wolf. They both carried the wolf and the deer and on their way, Corrin decided to break the silence.
"Hey Remus?" Corrin
"Hmm?" Remus
"How did you knew... That Lucille is the one?" Corrin
"*Smiles* That is simple my friend. I feel embarrassed and nervous but at the same i would be empty when she is away. Despite us being in the same orphanage. I tried to figure out everything that i felt and when i asked my mother she said that i am inlove. So i acknowledge it and courted Lucille until i got her sweetest yes." Remus
"Sweet." Corrin
"Why do you suddenly ask?" Remus
"This is only between us alright? No telling the girls." Corrin
"Sure. Man to man talk." Remus
"You see... I love someone. Not just as a friend... But as a woman. Just like what you said. I was nervous and i feel my heart beating too fast. I feel empty when she's away. And that woman... Is Vera." Corrin
