Chapter 2 - The Dance Festival

After a minute I can move again, then suddenly I think I am forgetting something? I look around and find Art sleeping below the tree. "ART! ART! Wake up you sleepy head", I shouted at him. Art wake up and I asked him what was happened "We are eating together and we tasted the best soup in the whole kingdom and decided to go to sleep. Leticia you didn't sleep are you? You cheated again!". Art explaining to me while teasing me. I know there is something missing but maybe I am just over thinking. We went to the plaza and see a lot of merchant selling their products. While we are window shopping we saw a shop that selling a teddy bear. Art and I was fascinated by the cuteness and fluffiness of the teddies we are seeing. And we saw a happy family buying their sons and daughter the teddies they want. And I know Art feel the same way as I felt "jealousy". "Art don't worry I know someday we can buy the things we want I can buy you a present when it is your birthday. Because you are now my family okay? We will work hard we will find a job. We will go to the school even if we are just learning outside the window we can still learn reading and counting okay?". I told to him. Art just smile at me and then hug me. Sometimes I feel a little bit jealous of those child that has a parent here. Has a happy life but I am just thankful that I live again as a healthy child and I had a friend.

The Night Of The Festival

It was night time, they light the biggest bonfire I've ever seen. Many people gather here with their family, friends, or love once. I am excited for tonight because I know the crowned prince Casious was here disguising as a commoner and this is the time that he will saw the female lead. The female lead who was loved by the people for her kindness. The golden eyes she has, the curly golden hair is her trait. No one is this kingdom has the same features as her. Her name is Carolina and I know where is she and the prince Casious will meet. I ask Art to come with me we are going to the big old tree near the lake in the middle of the forest so that I can see the scene where Casious will fall in-love to Carolina who was singing beautifully under the moonlight. Casious will help Carolina because a pack of wolves will attack her. Well of course the wolves was send by the villainess Victoria. While we are reaching the destination I can hear and see the female lead. Wow this is really magical, her voice is just like an angel singing down on earth. Her golden hair is waving in the wind is so alluring. But I can find Casious maybe the scene isn't time yet? Wait???? I can hear noises from the other side of the forest, oh no! I saw a wolves. "Leticia lets go there's a lot of wolves coming", Art said to me while panicking. I am still looking for the crowned prince and he is nowhere to be found. Carolina is busy singing she doesn't hear the wolves coming. I don't wanna see the female leading died in front of me she was my favorite character. "Leticia what are you doing!?", Art shouted at me as I run towards Carolina. I grab her hand and she stopped from singing "Come on miss we need to run wolves are coming", I told to her. "Don't worry my child those wolves are harmless they just come hear because they here me singing and they just want to be my friend", she said. Oh my gosh I forgot one thing Carolina is naive she thinks everyone is kind. I tried my best to pull her bust she just stand there like waiting for the wolves. The wolves came near us and growl at us and it about to attack her when I jumped it out of reflexes I just thought I am going to die but then a magic circle appear and protects us. I just look around to see if Casious was there because I know he was a mage but I don't see him. And then I saw my hands shining "Did I do this?" I ask to myself, the wolves are still out there reading to attack again. I wave my hands and the wolves floating in the air. I wave again and the wolves send back flying to where it came from. "WOW LETICIA YOU KNEW MAGIC!", Art came to me he was amazed by the scene he just saw. When I look at to Carolina I saw Casious besides her. "Are you a witch?", Carolina asked "No I wasn't ",I replied. "Then are you a demon? did you just hurt those pitiful wolves?", she shouted at me. I froze from a moment I can't believe it. The wolves are about to eat her and she was mad at me from saving her? Is she an idiot? I just thought she was kind but what I am seeing right now? why does she get angry at me? Carolina is about to grab me when Casious spoke "The child is saving you and this is the way you are saying thanks to her? I hear that you are kind to everyone at first I just thought you are just a naive but I just you are just an idiot with a beautiful face ". Carolina embarrass by what Casious says to him I can saw that she hates me with her eyes she was about to say something when Casious carry me. "Where did you learn that magic my child?", he ask. "I don't know, I didn't know I can use magic". I replied. Casious look at Art and carry him too. "What are you both doing in this forest where are your parents. I just saw you both happily walking and running towards here. Don't you know that no one is allowed to go here because there are monsters and wild animals lurking here?", he asked. Wait what? monsters are lurking here? then why does Carolina is here if everyone knows this is a dangerous forest. "We don't have a family we are just living in the street, we just came here in the plaza because we hear that we can get free food today", Art replied. "Oh my gosh I didn't know you guys are beggars. I am sorry for what I did or said earlier. I am just mad because the wolves got hurt and I lose the chance to be friends with them", Carolina said. I can't believe how she can say those words. She still think I am the bad guy here. "Please lady just stop talking nonsense", Casious said as he walk away. "Wait put us down where are you taking us?", Art said. I know Art is scared because he thought he will take us and be slave again and to be sold to someone or somewhere. " Do not fear my child, I am the crown prince my name is Casious Guzan. I will take you to the palace and be my new brother and sister", he say to us as he point out the royal guards hiding in the bush. Art eyes open wide he likes Casious very much because he know and everybody knows how he was kind to his people. "Wait are you taking us now to the palace? but Leticia and I want to dance in the plaza", Art said with a puppy eyes. Casious just smile and went to the plaza he let us down and we all dance together. I was very happy because I know my life will be more better at the palace. Carolina left in the forest alone and they didn't dance together, I am still confused by the her action. Maybe this story is not accurate as what was written in the book. I just want to enjoy this moment and new adventure, I know with Casious by our side no one can harm us except Victoria. We just need to avoid her and don't d something stupid.

In the forest Carolina POV

Damn it! my plan as a damsel in distress failed because of that stupid brat!. Casious was bound to save me but that brat get in the way. It is alright I still have an ace card. Victoria is still there and the people still loves me. Soon enough the crowned prince will need a crown princess. I still have a chance I just need to tolerate those brats and later n when Casious fallen for me I can get rid of them. I just need to wait.
