1837 Words
Two weeks later.
They have travelled through acres of forests and cities of slaves. It was a hard journey for the Special branch but they have made it to Castle Virqua.
Clover has been anxious on her travels back home. She has told Leo to keep their love affair a secret but it is uncertain that he actually will. It is important that Maxwell convinces Lord Wallis Virqua to aid him with a ship and men,ready for battle.
Leo Sunsette's Pov:

The horses' legs were tired and we were exhausted. The long journey has tired us and left us drained. No rations or clean water and one of the soldiers fell sick. None of us were clean. Dressed in rags and smells of feet. My hair was once yellow,it was now orange and brown.
We took camp at the river below the castle. Everyone decided to have a wash in the river. "The men on this side and the girls on that end,"shouted Nikolai. All this time,he has kept his mouth shut. If he says anything about me to that bastard on top...I'll cut his throat while he sleeps.
I sat in the corner,covered in water,up to my neck. Nikolai was forced to be with the girls. All the men were comfortable,happy and their manhoods showing. My father tought me decency when I was little,who tought them? I lit a flame on my hand and pushed it underwater,making the water hot. Now I was comfortable.
I was clean now. I stood up and wrapped a cloth around me. I stood up and went to get my clothes from the bush. There it is. I grabbed it...I heard a splash. Everyone was out of the water. I walked closer,then I saw her,bathing in the water....Clover Virqua.
She got scared and quickly covered up her exposed breasts.
"Dont be frightened, I've seen them a million times."
"Shouldn't you be looking at the other boy's c***s,"she smiled.
" I don't want to see anything else but you."
We kissed,her body was cold as I ran my fingers down her back. I warmed the water around us and out came steam. I could barely see her face.
"Everyone is gone."
"I know,"she said as she grabbed me.
"They're here! They're coming!" Who is that? Why now? "It's my father's men,another time,Leo,"she said as I watched her naked,slim body walk away. I stood up and looked down. I was too comfortable.

A few men in armour were coming down to address them. One of them is the boasty and valiant brother of Clover.
Dandelion Virqua's Pov:
My armour had a small smudge. I told my squire to wipe it. He fell from his horse and everyone laughed.
" You should've waited for us to stop,Lloris."
What a fool! We reached the bottom and steadied our horses. I stared for a while,looking for her. I found her immediately. Her long purple hair,just like mine.
"Sister! There you are!"
"Dany!" She came running and we hugged. It's been two years since she left. She asked father to allow her to go on a journey,she wanted to explore Medghar and see it's beauty herself. What a good lie. She justed wanted to see that peasant from the streets and there he stood watching us closely. I held my sister closer.
"I missed you,Cloe. The castle was so dull without your laughter."
I held her face.
"And you came back,looking even more beautiful. Mother would be proud."
"She would be."
"Lloris! Get a horse for my sister and escort these people to their chambers! Father,would like to feast with them tomorrow."
I took Cloe by my side and we rode off,he was still staring.
Maxwell Foresste's Pov:
They guided us past the throne room and then a weird door,with a small hole to look into to. They never said a word. I looked around and there was portraits and drawings and sculptures of a woman with long purple hair. It reminded me of Clover but it clearly was not her.
I was put in my room,a small one with a smell of wood. The bed was small but comfortable. My body was cold,the winds up here were gale. The others were near me and I could hear laughter and walking. I shut the door and layed there. A thought came to my head. Who was that boy in the forest? He says he knows me but I don't know who he is.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Haleina came and stood by the window and said,"When will all of this be over,Max?"
" I don't know. This trip could take longer,if we don't get a ship and if Wallis Virqua refuses to help us."
"Not the quest,but our father's torture,he sends us into a dangerous mission and uses us for his own good,his old friend,Wallis,is going to do the same,"Haleina ranted.
"Our father is the way he is and nothing will stop until he takes his last breath.The burns we have on our arms,remind me every day to never lose sight of what has to be done. I don't care how much he tortures us, I will sacrifice everything I love to find Dona and Denvor."
There was a silence and then she said",You still believe they're alive. They are gone and father knows that. They probably died while refusing to join the Brotherhood or joined them willingly. That's why father said this is our last one,he married me off and is going to make Marty king one day. He is going to keep everything under his power and what is left?....You."
"I completely agree. You said those words perfectly,Haleina."
I woke up and stood next to her.
"Nothing is going to stop until we find them. If we can't find them,you're going to be Arthur's w***e,Marty will be king and I'll be forgotten....like an ornament in the throne room."
"We have no choice,"Haleina said calmly.
"What do you mean?"
"We have to kill King Esther."
I was baffled and shocked by her proposal. "We can leave Medghar for good,join the Swallows,they will accept us,once we kill our father. You and I can be free."
"No....no,I can't. I will not choose a life of treason and abandon the people in my life. You can because you are brave and stupid. I don't care what you say we are not killing him. I'm going to find our friends and bring justice to those who hurt us and crippled Mother Dawn and if you won't join me then you can just f**k off!,"I exclaimed.
She began to walk out and opened the door. "We could have left,together. Marty wouldn't care anyways. I thought we felt the same things but your still in love with a dead woman. I think you don't want to come, because you're afraid of being forgotten." She slammed the door. I fell on the bed and took of my clothes and dreamt away.
Leo Sunsette's Pov:
I stared at the moon and it seemed to stare back,it understood my pain and the fear of losing her. If only the moon could talk. I never saw her since she left with her brother. He looked at me,he knew what was on my mind. I need to talk to her and tell her what I feel. I've touched her two times and we never got to it. I can't lose her without making love to her one last time. Once we leave, I may never see her again. Where is she?
I ran out and asked the servants and they said nothing except,"Where she should be." I opened door after door,then I stopped and looked at stopped at the brown door with a small looking hole. I put my eye on it,hoping it was Clover's room. There was a naked woman,wearing silk,with her head at a man's pants. I know that man but not the girl. Who knew Oscar's manhood can still stand?
I went back into my chamber,disappointed. I looked out of my window and saw a ledge. I looked to the left and the right and everything was dark but only room was lit. I stepped out,on to the ledge, I looked below....it was a high drop. I slowly moved towards the room and then I glanced from the window.
Her purple hair was tied up and the rest was yellow. She stood up,wearing a nightgown, a chain and anklets. She combed her yellow hair, I have never seen it before. I stepped in. "You're full of surprises today."
"I wanted to tell you something so bad."
"I want you to be quiet, I've been waiting for this moment,at Medghar or at the river but it never came."
She stood next to me,as she walked her anklets jingled. She touched my pants. I wanted to tell her goodbye but she had other motives. I accepted it, I've waited long enough as well."See you were waiting too." I didn't realize that my manhood was grown and hard. She burnt me and said," Take it out now." Damn Oscar and that woman.
I took of my pants and she smiled. "I've seen it many times and it still excites me." I burnt her back.
"Now your turn. Take it all of except for the chain."
She slowly removed her gown. I quickly grabbed her breast.
"I've seen these many times and it still excites me."
She took it off and kicked it aside. She pushed me on the bed and we began slowly. She stopped and looked at me. "No matter what happens, I will always love you."
I grabbed her close.
"And I will always love you. "
I turned her on her back and went into her deeply. She moaned,I put my hand on her mouth so no one will hear us. I went faster and faster and she held me tight. She said while out of breath," Leave.....your seed...inside me." My heart was racing and then I released it.
We sat beside each other. The candles were still burning. She slowly closed her eyes but I was still thinking. I looked out at the window and the moon was now covered in clouds. I want her to be with me,always. I want her to have my children. I can't leave her in this cold castle. I will have to do something,something that may cost my life if it means that Clover is free.
