Hazel was left shocked as he was actually trying to force her in doing something she doesn't want to, she watched the carriage leave until it was out of sight before finally going back to the shop. She cursed the day she had met him at the meadows.
"What will I do relles, he wants to force me into something I do not want to be involved in.....I can't believe all my dreams will just go down the drain, I've always wanted to get married to someone I love and be the person's first priority but now being Mr Helios fifth or sixth wife wouldn't give me that instead I will be used as his sex toy"
Hazel went back home with a dull face which Vivian picked up and asked
"what's wrong, you look down"
"Nothing mum"
"Dont tell me that, I know when something goes wrong, I'm your mum remember"
"Have you been seeing Mr Helios"
Vivian released a sigh" He came today"
"Of course and he was expecting you"
"I actually..."
"I thought we've settled this mum, this topic was brought two years ago and I said I never liked him but I never new you would still go behind my back" Hazel spat
"I never agreed with him...."
"Then why did he come today and he's forcing me"
"Hazel I never did anything behind your back, since you never liked the idea, I didn't push further"
"Whether you push further or not, he wants to make me his mistress forcefully"
Vivian tired of explaining said"And how's that my fault "
"....."
"Yes, how's it my fault huh? if you had listened to me that day and not gone to the meadows, then you wouldn't have met him in the first place"
"So its my fault"
"Yes of Course"
"Now why wouldn't I believe that you have something to do with this" and she ran out of the house towards the meadows and cried, so her mum thinks that she is the cause of these things, if only her dad was there, he would have taken her side. She stayed in the meadows for like four hours as the clouds became dark, she caught sight of a white animal coming closer, she cleaned the tears blurring her sight and found out it was relles but what was he doing here and who opened the cage for him. She carried him and headed back to the village only to find a familiar situation, she immediately rushed home to see her mum but she was missing, it then dawned on her that truly a riot had happened during the four hours she had spent in the meadows, everything had turned worse than before and it looked like each time she ran away, something bad always happens. First,she ran away from home only to find out that the people of Poetwyth had come to abduct humans which had caused her dad to be taken, secondly, she went to the meadows and now had some issue with Mr Helios and now, her mum had been abducted, she was still sick, how could they?. She broke down as her knees gave out and she fell on the floor,she didn't mean to run away, she was just angry at that moment. Their house had been burnt to some extent and some blood stains were on the walls and she guessed it was her Mum's maybe when she was struggling with them. Maybe she was still alive, she just need to find out which land had caused this riot. Now she was left with Mr Helios offer or rather decision, she carried relles who was on the floor and put him in his cage. She now understood why the center market was empty as it was closed to the elite town and they have been informed about the riot that will happen bit why didn't Mr Helios tell her. She just sat on the floor staring into the empty space in her front
"Relles, what do I do?, how can I manage myself when the only money left won't hold me for a month" after some hours she fell asleep exhausted.
Early the next morning as the birds flew up in the sky, Hazel woke up, her back ached as she had slept on the hard floor. She sat up leaning her back against the wall trying to contain the loneliness she felt, having only relles with her, she spoke to him
"I was thinking of selling the shop and then look for a job as a maid or something cause I don't want to meet Helios for help, what do you think relles?" she paused. In all lands, when a letter is written for asking to be a maid or something, all letters will first go to the Lord and then cone down to the councilmen and seeing that Helios was the Lord's deputy, he would surely see her letter
"I think I'll get the job but not in this land, I'll go to Borreve as its the closest than others and get to work as a maid there" she then turned to relles" I know its the night creatures land but some humans reside there so I aren't going to be the only human there..... you'll be following me to Borreve, take note of that"
Hazel stood and went to the shop, it took her three - four days to finish selling all in the shop and the shop itself. After gathering the Mon, she prepared to travel to Borreve which was sure to cost like four silver coins. She packed her luggage and relles and stared at the house one more time before leaving, she was going to miss this house and these lands as she was going entirely away from Bougreve. She boarded a carriage along with two other people, she put her luggage into the carriage and sat putting relles who was in the cage on her lap. She was close to the window so she could see the trees that passed as they moved.
