Chapter 3.

King Stanley : Alpha, Let them in.

Alpha : Yes, Majesty.

He opened the door letting them into the throne room. They walked forward and bowed to the king and queen.

Lucas : Greetings your Majesties.

Queen Halsey : Lucas, what happened there?

Lucas : My queen, the journey there wasn't as easy as I thought. But on the way back she helped us surpass all danger which laid within the forest.

King Stanley : What's your name young lady? Sabrina : Sabrina Voiliante, your Majesties.

Queen Halsey : oh, the daughter of the great witch and wizard of this kingdom.

Sabrina : YourMajesties knew my parents?

King Stanley : Not only did we know them but we were best friends and our royal advisors.

Sabrina : Oh.

Queen Halsey : Sabrina, you look tired. Lucas you do the honors?

Lucas: Come i'll show you to your chamber.

Sabrina : Okay.

They left the throne room and headed to the hallway. On the way, she had alot on her mind but didn't wanna talk about it.

Lucas : Are you alright?

Sabrina :...

He looked at her face, while she's staring at the floor with emptiness on her face. He stretched out his hand but withdrawed it. They arrived at the end of the hallway and still, no reaction on her face. He opened the door and she deliberately ignored him and entered inside then slowly shut the door not to cause further problems.

Lucas : I hope you're okay.

* Sobbing *

Sabrina :...

* In the throne room *

* Door opens and closes*

Queen Halsey : Lucas? What's the matter?

Lucas : Your Highness, do you think something 's wrong with Sabrina?

Queen Halsey : No.

King Stanley : Why ask that so suddenly?

Lucas : Cause she didn't even react to the words I said.

King Stanley : Maybe she can't still bare the fact that her parents are no more.

Lucas : Alright then.

Queen Halsey : Lucas, it seems you've started caring for her.

Lucas : I just want to cheer her up. Besides, I was like that before when my parents died and when you found me.

Queen Halsey : That's true. But just give her more time to open up to you, okay?

Lucas : Sure, i'll take my leave now.

King Stanley : You may go now.

Lucas : Thank you.

He walk out of the room and closed the door behind him. He took ten steps forward and looked right towards the royal garden then saw Sabrina looking at the flowers blooming with bright colors. He hesitated for a bit, but he decided to head in her direction. As he arrived, he called out to her and she slowly turned around and the wind blew through her her hair and the sun reflecting on her white skin which made more beautiful.

Sabrina :...

Lucas : Sabrina? Are you really alright?

Not a single word came out of her mouth. Only the space of emptiness and sorrow was seen in her eyes and he still tried to speak to her.

Lucas : If you don't wanna talk, i'll let you be. I just wanted to see if I could cheer you up a little bit.

He turned around walking away slowly and then she spoke to him.

Sabrina : Could you come back? D... Don't leave.

He started approaching her and stood in front of her looking straight into her eyes.

Lucas : I thought you'll be cold to me like that forever.

Sabrina : When I was still a young girl... My father will always walk with me in our garden and tell me stories about my mother. How brave she was, how beautiful she was till the day she left us.

Tears started running down her cheeks.

Sabrina : Too bad I didn't have the chance of seeing her or experiencing the love a mother in my life. He told me I look exactly like her, I was strong like her and beautiful just like her. After that he got seriously ill, I did my best to keep him alive and well but he couldn't just bare the pain or see me suffering for his sake so he just left me all alone. My life was incomplete without them in it. That's why every day, I visit their graves and wish they were both here with me to do magic spells, to have great moments together as a family but all that was in vain.

Lucas : I didn't know you went through alot by yourself.

Sabrina : I just can't take it anymore, sometimes I wish I was dead!

Lucas : Hey, hey look at me you can't go on saying things like that. I'll make you fell the love of having a loved one once again, I promise you.

Face filled with tears, she hugged Lucas tightly not letting him go away from her side. Lucas : Can we be friends?

Sabrina : Okay. Friends.
