Chapter 6 - chapter 6

When safia reached the lake, she finds hunter already waiting for her, open seeing her he stands up smiling, and she couldn't help but smile too, he looks handsome, ( and not wearing a transparent shirt) he's dressed in black jeans with a baggy blue shirt and black boots, the night air playing with his hair, safia thought " ohh boy" ( and she couldn't help but notice that they are wearing the same color)

--Hunter

As she walks towards hunter he couldn't help but stare, and he finds himself smiling, she's dressed in her pajamas, a soft long sleeve ocean blue dress, (it looks soft anyway) that beautifully hugs her slender body, a short dark blue cloak and her hair in a ponytail, she looks like the blue fairy, hunter suddenly feels the urge to hug her tight and never let go, but of course he can't do that, he doesn't want to freak her out, and besides,

that's not why he's here, he thought, but as he looked into her honey brown eyes, he remembered dreaming about her last night, her beautiful smile, her perfect eyes, her probably very soft reddish pink lips, and wait, are they both in blue, yes, and she's in... Ocean blue, it must be a coincidence, I mean they can't both just have the urge to wear blue, right ?, " hunter, get a hold of yourself, remember your goal" smiling he says * I looked so underdressed, I didn't know we were supposed to be in our nightwears *.

--Safia

She gave a Soft laugh and says, * oh no we weren't, I just wants to be ready when I head back home, just in case I'm late* and then she realize what she just said " just in case she's late" then she quickly added, * not that I'm gonna be anyway....let's seat* and so they sat on a log overlooking the beautiful lake, and at the same time, they both said " so how are you doing" they looked at each other, a little surprised and both laugh a little, hunter spoke then

* lady's first* *well, after I went home last night, I snuck out to the city and got caught because of Anthony, and now I'm grounded for 3 days* As safia says this, hunter was listening intently, and he's sure she's not the princess, course princess don't get grounded, even if they snuck out, he thought, and he also noted.

*who's Anthony,* safia says * um..he's just a guy, a friend,...sort of, we don't really get along well* *ok, but you're grounded, so how come you're here* hunter asked, * I can't possibly break my promise, now can I* safia replied and he said * oh of course not, in fact I'm glad you're here, but...won't you get in trouble if they find out, like double grounded, if that's a thing*

it warms safia's heart to know he cares about her and he's glad she came, she replied * double grounded is a thing, but don't worry, they won't know I'm gone, they think I'm asleep* *OK if you're sure* hunter replied, and safia added * I'm sure, anyway, how are you doing*

Hunter smiled a heartbreaking smile, and says * when I went back home, I relaxed, eat with my little brother and sleep, yeah, that's pretty much all I did, sorry no grounding for me thought, * safia laugh a little and say, * you're lucky your parents understand your need for freedom, * hunter sadly looked down, and said

* my parents .....are not with me anymore,* safia then felt so guilty * oh no, I'm so sorry I shouldn't have said that, I didn't mean to..* but she was friendly cut by hunter saying * don't worry safia, ( her name sound like a lullaby on his lips) its not like I don't talk about it, but yeah, they were cool when me and cas were kids, they let us play all around the kingdom, and now that they're gone, we have happy memories of them, and we live with our uncle now, who's also like a father to us* Hunter stops himself there before he tells her everything else.

* you and cas got a chance to another father, thats cool, .....I lost my mother too, and since then my father completely changed, he never gives me attention like he used to, he's always so busy with ...other stuff, that sometimes I think, maybe he forgot about me, until bedtime when he comes to say goodnight or to reprimand me for something, so coming to this lake makes me feels at peace, just me and nature* *and me* hunter added, safia smiled at that

* when I lost my parents...* hunter started * I came here a lot, cas didn't want to come, so he stayed with uncle, whenever I came here I find peace and calmness, but surprisingly we never met till yesterday* they smiled at each other, * if you don't mind me asking, how'd your parents died, my mom died from high fever* safia asked.

And hunter replied * they were killed..*safia gasped out * by the werewolves!* replied hunter * no... by someone they trust, a traitor in disguised, he was slowly poisoning them without their knowledge, until when they're too weak to fight, he finished them.....and took everything from them*

* it must've have been really hard for you, but somehow you still have your smile, your very brave * " I only have my smile because of my people, uncle and cas, my hunger for revenge, and probably even you now, " hunter thought, * but the werewolves are not what you..we think they are, I heard they also don't want war, and they're looking for the princess, to talk about having peace, you know where the princess is?*

Safia was happy to know that the werewolves want the same as her, peace, but she can't be so sure yet, it might be a trap they set, so she says * the castle of course, but how to get to her, I have no idea, she...doesn't go out much* hunter was disappointed, he still has no idea how to get to the princess, so he says

* well, just in case you come across the princess, tell her that if she wants to talk to the werewolves, he came closer to safia and whispered, *I heard she can find them deep inside the forest near a cherry tree, the only cherry tree in the forest, don't tell anyone but the princess*...
