Disclaimer: I do not own The Little White Horse or The Secret of Moonacre. I also do not own Robin (I wish I did though) or any other character. Rated T for light swearing throughout the story.
A/N: Just a quick note, In the movie, Loveday Minette was a Du Noir and Robin was her brother - not her son.
Robin POV
I grew up learning the legends of Moonacre Valley, especially that of the Moon Princess. My father taught me about the treachery of the Meriwether family and how they stole the Moon Pearls from our family - Du Noir.
When I was young, learned the reason of my birth. I have a sister, who is 20 years older than me. Her name is Loveday, and she had disgraced the family by falling in love with a Meriwether 3 years before I was born. Being a Meriwether, he broke her heart by rejecting her when she told him that she was a Du Noir. She came back to the castle, and father kicked her out. She moved somewhere in the forest, but father didn't know (or care) where.
I grew up in the forest and the seaside village of the Valley, along with the rest of the Du Noir clan. I learned to hunt and trap, and how to travel through the forest the way only a Du Noir could. One day when I was 10, I was wandering the forest, I came upon a little meadow. A lady was sitting in the meadow. I walked up to her with the intent on finding out why she was tresspassing on Du Noir land.
She greeted my with a smile. The first thing she said to me surprised me.
Flashback
"Hello little brother." The lady said.
"Brother? I'm not your brother - I am Robin Du Noir, of the Du Noir clan."
"You are my brother, silly goose. I am your big sister - Loveday Minette Du Noir."
"You are my sister the traitor?"I asked her.
"I am no traitor. It is not a crime to fall in love." Loveday snapped at me.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it. I was just repeating what Father said. He calls you a traitor if he ever mentions you." I apologized.
"That's alright, you don't know my side of the story." My sister replied.
"I'd like to." I said and leaned foreward eagerly.
"Come back tomorrow and I'll tell you." She said, laughing.
The next day I returned to the medow, half expecting the meeting with my sister to be a dream. It wasn't.
Loveday explained her, very sad, side of the story. She became one of my, no, my only friend. Everyone else was at least 5 years older than me and far to busy to be playing with a little kid. I had gotten used to being lonely. For the years following the first meeting I would sneak into the forest once every week to meet her in her medow. We would talk for about an hour and then I would sneak back into the forest and go back home.
End Flashback
"Robin, your father wants to see you." One of my father's men yelled. He had interrupted me while I was in the middle of setting a trap in the forest.
"Fine. Finish up here, will ya?' I answered, darting off into the trees before he could answer. I went to the castle, where I knew my father would be waiting for me.
"Robin, I have an assignment for you." My father said.
"Sure Father, what is is? Scouting out the Manor, fishing in the bay, trapping or hunting in the forest?" I said.
"No. This is a special assignment." Father said grimly. "A Meriwether in London has died. He, like the dog he was, left behind nothing but debt and ruin for his daughter - a Maria Meriwether. Your job is to watch, and capture, this Meriwether girl. She is very important - she is the new Moon Princess."
"Yes, Father." I answered
"The funeral for the Meriwether is tomorrow. Gather a group of men and then hurry up and get to London. You must stop the girl from reaching Moonacre Manor at all costs." My Father said urgently.
"It will be done." I promised.
In London - 5 hours later
"Damn, this is going to be harder than I thought." Robin muttered.
A/N: YAY! The first Secret of Monacre/Little White Horse fanfiction ever!! I hated the fact that in the movie Loveday wasn't called Loveday Minette, so I made Minette her middle name.- xox Sunny
