DEREK'S POV
Running into a very wide spot I got lost from Madam Lee's scent. Paused a bit and looked in different directions.
But there was no one.
I had never seen madam lee as fast as that since I was born and today seemed to amuse me. Please if there was anyone here who could pinch me out of this dream.
He or she had a go for it.
It looked so real and that was the very reason why I couldn't believe it. Everything seemed suspicious that I didn't even feel what I felt at the site of madam lee at the first glance.
I turned back and headed for the hotel I was in from the very beginning.
COLIN POV
By pushing the heavy carriage through the very break of the sun, I cleaned through after the water that dripped down my face.
Ahh
It was very stressful to do this all more as I longed to live a peaceful life only when I had found my sister.
I stopped at a spot and walked into a small restaurant that on the norm sold beer but during the day they cooked different delicacies.
"Rice and soup please," I ordered, and shortly after some lady came over with my meal to my table.
I eat slightly hungrier because I was no doubt. Working all day through the sun wasn't easy stuff for me.
"I hear that there's a dark skin pretty lady in the middle of the woods. Legends say that she a nine-tailed fox that killed my families that stood in her way." Some men talked from behind me. I turned and spotted a few bottles of beer on their table.
"Uhh, those drunk men again." I shook my head and was about to return my eye to my food when I knew the saying wasn't coming from them but from another table.
"I had that Wisconsin's family were victims." He whispered and others feared what he said.
I was very interested in who this fox was that her story became the talk of the whole town.
Back to my carriage, I pushed over to Willow's mansion. That was where I found myself living and also working.
After I fleed from my home I had nowhere to go other than the willow's mansion who took me in and fed me.
Case I forget is in my late twenties.
PENNINE'S POV
"Has anyone of you seen Derek anywhere..?" I asked the maids but they also had not seen him anywhere near the palace today.
I couldn't let dad notice his absence. Everywhere could go hay-wire, so I was very must scared of what he was going to do to not only the maids but everyone.
I had just two brothers, Derek being the second and Simon being the first. Simon is always the busy type so he was never home.
I on the other hand the third find myself being a perfect princess after my mother died. I wanted to not only be the perfect daughter and princess but also the perfect sister to my brothers giving them this motherly affection though I had never experienced one.
I moved the thick huge door that was lingering right in front of me and ran for my uncle - Richard.
DEREK'S POV
I had no intention of going back to the palace because I found it not my thing.
I was of noble blood no doubt but wandering off to the unknown was very much my thing. After vomiting from last night's hangovers, I tried putting on my long coat that lagged right after my knees.
Ditching my hat over my head, I tied the ropes around my chin.
"Awl" I yawned after squeezing my eye several times.
With the thoughts of going somewhere else I ordered the lady in charge of my room to get the pay from my brother.
Walked out of the slightly huge mansion and got spotted by my sister.
"Ahh, not now.." I cursed at her sight. She always needed me back for dinner, lunch, and supper which were the only moments our father wouldn't not my absence.
He was trying to be a perfect father after all he loved my mother who got poisoned who knows few days after Pennine's birth.
"Brother, I didn't know this was your hideout, such a coincidence meeting you here." She acted like she never knew she would find me here in the first place.
"Get him." With her hand pointed at me her guards chased after me whose speed was already in motion.
I ran as my legs could carry me because I was in the mood of eating with the family because the topic was always about me being useless without a mother.
With that saying, Pennine knew that she would have to cage me if I was to be present for breakfast.
Running through the woods I found myself lost. I turned back and could find anyone chasing after me again.
They had already lost touch with me.
Wow.. finally some peace and silence was something I thought I would never get any time soon.
I started walking normally like everyone does because I wasn't chased anymore longer. With my eye in a straight position I spotted, a waterfall.
A very large one.
Its sound found its way amusing in my ear. As it drowned downward it kept making noise. Who thought I would find someplace to bath properly other than the palace?
Ditching all my clothes to nakedness I made a jump for the large river. With my body already in motion under the water, I dived toward the surface.
Pulling myself towards the waterfall which kept cleaning off my black short hair. I scrubbed my thigh area back to my belly.
Ahh, just right under the waterfall was the very best spot for a bath. It was the shower itself. As I kept enjoying the water pouring, my eye got stopped by a dark skin lady staring at me from the shore.
"What the -" I immediately covered my parts and the lady who started at all my body kept looking at it as if it was some mirror.
"Hey..!!!" I yelled but she kept her eye on my body.
