I wear my red mask and tied my hair up into a messy bun before using my window to escape. Well since I been kidnapped Mr. Burnish don't let me go outside. I can't understand his logic but I can't just stay here and do nothing, I'm trying to live my life here by doing things I love.
I stopped looking at man with a black coat and golden linings, he's walking infront of me, put my hood on and walk to him, I lowered my head and walk passed him. He seems good looking judging from his nose and lips, he must be a merchant or someone powerfull but who cares? I looked at my left hand before smiling.
I sighed before humming softly "This is a big catch isn't it" I said happily while playing at the black pouch I stole from him.
"Good morning Mr. Well can I borrow Sebastian for a sec?" I asked while looking at Mr. Well. "Oh
...Ada its you, your taking Sebastian?" he asked weakly I nodded before taking Sebastian out from the stable leaving some penny on his space near Mr. Well.
I mounted at Sebastian, "Yah!" Sebastian run to the forest when we where near in the tall old tree carefully I tilted to get my weapon behind those bushes. "Gotcha" I said going back in my position, I worn the strap before pulling the string of the bow and aimmed the target. I took a deep breath and let go of the arrow, every time I hold my bow.....I feel me.
"Wooohoo! faster Sebastian!" I yelled while laughing when the arrow hits the target.
*******
I looked at the lake and draw on my notes again finishing the final touches, I layed on the grass squinting my eyes when the sun rays slightly dazzled me. I close my eyes and feel the warm breeze of summer hitting my skin, when a shadow blocked the sun ray. I open my eyes and I was being stared by a man I stoled earlier.
"Shocked?"
I immediately stand up and try to find my weapon when he showed in to me. I scoffs and glared at him. "How'd you find me" I asked he smiled but I can't see his face clearly, I blink and then suddenly he's beside me making me jump in suprise. "How did you....." I asked confused
"Lets not talk about it hmm....the most important thing is....how you gonna pay me from stealing this" he said and on his right hand is the black pouch. I closed my eyes before bitting my lower lip.
I didn't even feel that he took both my bow and that pouch, he is dangerous 'I pick the wrong pocket this time' Rose is correct this time hays.
"Stop biting your lips it will bleed" he said switching his place from my right to left, 'Is he a ghost?'
"What do you want....I'm just a thief I don't value much ya'know" I said stating the facts. He shake his head "No you're not, your the key for his demised" He said.
I rise my brow "He?" I asked , I took a step back when he 's face is close to me. I can see his cobalt blue eyes and some features of his face he seems familiar for some reason.
"Listen Adallane, I need you to do something for me....in exchange I can help you to get what you want" he said I stared at him.
'He knows me? He said I stole something from him but the way he's speaking with me is like.....he plan this all along. Like he knows who I am but who is 'he' his talking about? What should I do? If I declined him will he....kill me?'
I close my eyes. 'Damn'
"I'll get what I want and you get what you want right?" I said, He smirks 'This guy will kill me if I don't play along'
"So what is the deal" I said
*********
"If you want to live...,do what I say" he said.
I yanked my hair in frustration.
"Gah! You idiot! Adallane your an idiot!" I said before letting my body to fall in my bed. I laugh without humor....."I'm dommed"
"Enter the palace and be the Crown Princess maid"
"But she doesn't have the title yet" I mumbled "I'm so dommed" I whimpered.
When the sun showed up the news about Althea being the lost daughter of the Matriarch shocked the whole town, and now.
" My daughter liked you Ms. Adallane to be her personal maid, she's still not used to be a noble and you're the first girl friend she had so.....I'm asking you humbly can you grant this selfish father wish of mine Ms. Adallane Calistro" The Matriarch Lincoln said to me.
Mr. Burnish is stun and Rose mouth is agaped. I smile nervously 'Isn't so much to be coincidence? Ha!'
I bowed "I will accept this opportunity to serve your family with much joy in my heart Sir" I said lowering my head to him. 'I don't want it nor happy for it, but the guy with the black coat is threating something I learned to treasure in this life, I looked at Mr. Burnish who is obviously not happy and Rose who's looking at me confused.
"I will send a carriage tomorrow morning for you Ms. Adallane thank you for accepting my request" He said I just smile at him 'Actually you didn't give me a choice to refuse by showing yourself here'
I bowed to him watching his carriage gone to my eyes sight before looking at them. "How she becomes your friend! You two not even talking to each other!" Rose yelled. Actually Rose this situation I'm in right now.....is supposed to be yours.
You will be the spy that will betray Althea in the future and died in a very tragic death with your father.....and.....somehow happy to know that I'm taking your place, your a nice girl and you have a good man as your father something that I didn't have in the past. So I won't let you end up with those deaths, even if I died at least I was able to do the things I love....too bad its to short for me to enjoy but still...
"If your mind is made up. I'll support you Adallane" Mr. Burnish said I smiled at him and Rose shake her head in disbelief and runaway.
I sighed. "Don't worry I'll talk to her." he said and followed Rose.
"Did I.....nah I'm going to save them so its okay" I said to myself.
earlier*
"So what is the deal" The woman with pure white hair said to him. He always knew this girl Adallane Calistro a girl showed up in the town 10 years ago without anyone to guide her, she's have a very rare white hair. He always knew something is off about this girl whole being.
She's good at everything, and a good pawn to used to take him down. Faith is even in his side who would thought that Adallane will be the first friend of that woman? And who would thought that he will fall in love with her in first sight? Everything is perfect.
He smiled at Her creeping her slightly. "I want you to be my spy to Royce Lance Reon by staying by side of his beloved girl Althea Summers or should I say Althea Lincoln. Do that and I reward you handsomely" He said but the girl scoffs.
"I don't need your money" she said but she's hesitating, he grin she doesn't want to die but can't let him down either. What will do in this situation Adallane?
"Okay then I will send Rose instead since she has been really angry at Althea she will take this job without second thoughts, but since she's clumsy and easily derived with her emotions what will happen to her if she get caught? Oh.....her poor father." He's grin grow larger when he saw the trembling hands of Adallane because of what he's saying.
She looked at him and he was stunned when he saw a beautiful golden eyes glints from the girls eyes but when he blinked it turned back into gray.
"I'll do it" She said, He smiled grab her hand to put a curse. Adallane grunts when she felt pain in her right hand, she looked the black coated man.
"What that's for"
"To keep you under control, if you try to do anything funny that curse will kill you on the spot. So don't betray me okay" he said, she just stared at him
He was about to walk away when Adallane called him.
"Black coated man, I want to live longer so....if I finished this mission.....pledge that you will set me free and I want to see it myself"
He turned and looked at her, she is full of seriousness he didn't answer her instead just walked away from her.
"Adallane.....I didn't know you're somehow interesting" He uttered.
end*
"Well I guess this is goodbye for now" Adallane said smiling at Mr. Burnish "Hmmmm.....Rose didn't want to send you off sorry" he said I nod
"its okay....I just wanted to say sorry to her that I can't explain to her what happen but I hope she'll understand me for now" Ada said
Burnish hugged Adallane was stun at the sudden hug but awkwardly hugged him too. "We will miss you" Burnish said to his unrelated second daughter.
She gave him a smile before turning to enter the carriage. "See you soon....Father" it was a whisper but enough to make Burnish hear.
He watched the carriage go until his eyes can't see it before letting his tears falls.
"She finally called me father really that girl" Burnish said before wiping his tears.
