Dawn enters into the forests and soon finds her secret hideout. She stops her horse and gently comes down. She pets the lovely creature, patting her mane and using her fingers to comb it softly.
"Good girl, rest here okay or you want to come with me? " the horse neighs.
"I'll take take as a yes, let's go then. I have someone to introduce to you".
As Nick hears the horse's neigh, he turns his head and gets up when his eyes landed on that damsel. He'll never get enough of her beauty, she leaves him out of breath anytime he lays his eyes on her.
She walks closer to him with her horse. He smiles sheepishly at her.
"I thought you wouldn't come".
"I thought you wouldn't wait".
"I prayed to God so I'll be able to see you again. My prayers were answered".
"I see".
"You are beautiful ".
<She stood in front of the tree with Nick and her horse."So, let the plucking begin? ""Sure, I'll climb, while you pick them.. You shouldn't climb with a dress princess. "That was when she recalled that she was putting on a gown and not a pair of trousers."All right, thank you very much"."My pleasure".With that said Nick started climbing and plucking the apples, then he threw them down lightly for Dawn to catch. At times he would throw it a bit far just to taunt her."Nicholas""It is fun. Lighten up". He kept on throwing far making her run here and there. He threw another apple far off and Dawn just stood and watched the apple roll off."Aren't you picking them anymore?" he asked her amidst laughing."I see you think its funny right..? I wonder what would happen if
As she looks at him, he felt he was in the wrong stressing her that way. He wasn't very gentlemanly with what he did. He looks at her and gently spoke."I.... I.. I am sorry, I just wanted to have fun, that's all" he said feeling apologetic."I'm sorry too. What I did was dangerous and reckless. I apologize for my wrong behavior. I'm glad you didn't break a bone" she calmly said when it dawned on her the gravity of what might have been.He tries to sit up, but forgot his right harm ached and used it for support, he fell back down almost instantly. Seeing this, Dawn gets on her knees and helps him to sit up gently."You should not be careless Nick. You would only hurt yourself once more" she said with a frown."I never knew you cared"."No I don't. Do not get the wrong idea Nick"."Are you sure?" he thin
She could hear some sounds, she turns to where the sound was coming from and her gaze landed on Nick. He sat there hitting his left hand on his thigh as a way of clapping since his other hand ached."Isn't that just splendid. White Lotus, I like the name. It's about time. You ignored our conversation just now. ""It was pointless arguing with you. I won't fall for it." She said to him as she stroked her horse's mane."Impressive. The apples, aren't we going to eat them? ""I think I would give White Lotus instead" there was a look of sadness on Nick's face."Just kidding."He sighs as he watches her walk to the river and rinsed the apples, then returns to his side. She hands over an apple to him."Thank you""Welcome " they start eating the fruit.-------------Els
"Thank you but it's too expensive for me," Elsa said dropping the Jade hairpin back in his cabinet."It's a shame, it would have been perfect, you may check others, I can be of help"."Thank you, I would be needing your cheaper hair accessories please"."All right, right this way miss" she took Elsa to another part of the shop."Here we are, miss. You can get some for even a bronze coin here.""Thank you so much" Elsa thanked her and starts checking the accessories out. She picks two hair loom, they matched the eyes of Adella and Elaine, one of the light green pearls and another of shiny brown pearls."I'll have these two please " she gives them to the young girl at her side."Nice choice, but they don't really match your eye colour"."Oh no, they are not for me"."I see, why not pick these for yourself " she pic
Technically, it was someone who held her back."Sorry, is there any problem sir?" She asked the handsome stranger who held her back. He just looked at her not saying anything. She becomes angry as he was wasting her time just staring at her. She tried freeing herself from his grasp but he held her arm a bit tighter than before."Excuse me, it hurts. Let me go. What do you want from me? I don't have the luxury of time sir" she said rather impatiently."Let me go with you. If he has sold it to the black pirate, it would be hard getting it back" he explained."Getting it back? You may have to buy your horse again. The black pirate is trouble" the buyer informed them yet again."Okay, if you are coming I won't stop you. But I don't have time"."I may know a short cut to the outskirts of town. Let's go" he said and released her arm from his grasp, then walke
As they leave the stables, they hear a thick masculine voice."What do you think you are doing?"They stop in their tracks and turn towards the source of the voice. There standing at a corner was a tall masculine man in his late thirties. Besides him was a small boy of about twelve years of age, it was the horse thief."They are trying to steal the horse the small boy brought." the teenage boy they earlier saw spoke to the tall man."I asked what do you think you are doing? How dare you steal from the Black Pirate?" He bellowed at them.Elsas shivered as his deep voice reverberated in the surrounding, sending a fearful chill running down her spine. After some seconds passed, she found back her voice."Steal? I am only taking what is mine," replied Elsa, her brows deepened into a frown as she gazes up at him."Not the way I see it. This lad owns it," the man retorted.
"Are you adopting him?" Eric asked."He would work, I know just whom to bring him to," she said looking at the boy's face."He would live an honest life, one he would be proud of and earn some money"."Whatever suits you. Lad you better not play pranks on this lady. She has a heart of gold"."While not sell the heart then?" As the boy completes his talking, the shock is written on all their faces."Lad... ""I have a name mister.""What is your name then?" A soft feminine voice said."Clive. Clive Anthony" as he said his last name, his tone changed and was low."What's the matter? You were chappy a moment ago"."... " he said nothing."Your parents.""They died because of me," he lowered his head, feeling down as he answered her question."I'm sorry," she said softly."I don't need your pity lady," he said scoffing at her."You need to shed that attitude of yours Clive" Eric reprimanded the small boy."It is all right, let him be, he would change, I'll make sure of that" Elsa assured
Eric's POVLost in beauty and taking in her sweet fragrance, I was in love, and I knew it. If this is not love, then, what is? I asked myself.Ah was bold, daring, caring, funny. I just liked her the moment I laid eyes on her and each passing moment spent together she just keeps stealing a portion of my heart away.Just when I start to enjoy a moment with this dashing beauty and forgetting we had an audience, he spoke..."Go get a room you two... ".It felt like a glass cup shattered, bringing us back from our daydreaming to reality. He was just so young, yet with such a sharp tongue.I was lost for words, then Elsa shyly withdrew from my grabs, that's when I noticed I was holding her waist with my left hand all this time.Elsa was blushing crimson red, like a child caught in a wrong act and that stupid lad just kept on grinning to himself, feeling proud about his accomplishment.What stupid accomplishment anyway. He just ruine
