Chapter 2 Maria's POV
When I got to the dungeon I wasn't at all surprised to find bird boy waiting there for us to arrive, cause while they were escorting me away from the dining room I heard his father tell him that he was going to be my guardian. Argh I don't need a guardian ok maybe I do cause the moment he looks the other way I AM going to escape. They think they know all my tricks but I still have a few. I look at bird boy with disdain "so your my keeper, huh I would have thought they would have given me someone I haven't already bested, guess they overestimate bird boy don't they" i said with just the right amount of bragging in my voice for him to get angry. His face got all red and his eyes got wild "listen you little brat, the only reason you got away in the carriage was because you had a knife I don't know why a GIRL even has a knife. Aren't girls only supposed to have dolls and for your information my name is robin not bird boy so stop calling me that ok" he made a move like he was going to strike me and I acted out of instinct and grabbed his hand and flipped him "Don't Ever touch me got it." I yell at him loudly. Robin gets up a little bit after this and just stares at me while rubbing his shoulder then he roughly grabs me by my arm and pushes me into the cell and locks it. "well princess this is your new home so get used to it and im sure the mice are positively joyed at having a roommate, have sweet dreams princess" he smiled evilly on his way out as I shouted after him "you to Bird Boy" I laugh as I hear him growl in frustration.
Robins POV
I don't get it. She is supposed to be afraid of us. She acts like this is just a game. Doesn't she realize that my dad will kill her just to prove his point, he doesn't care. It was while I was thinking this that I bumped into someone and knocked everything that they were carrying down. I looked down to see a boy around 8 years old blushing and apologizing profusely. I smiled at him to assure him that I wasn't mad. Unbeknownst to robin that maria could still see him he bent down and helped picked up the boys laundry. It was at this moment that he noticed it was his clothing and that the boy was a servant "no wonder you were scared of me you thought I was going to hit you didn't you" the boy looked at the floor as he nodded his head yes. I felt anger towards my dad cause it was no doubt because of him that the scamp was afraid of me. "well I will never hit you unlike my father, whats your name and why are you working at the castle at such a young age." The young boys eyes fill with tears immediately "my mom sent me and told me to try to find work in your quarters cause you would help me." He whispered. I was aghast that the boy actually managed to achieve what his mother told him to do cause ever since my sister loveday ran away all my servants were always older than 40 I think my dad thought it was a good deterrent for me to stay where I was. I looked at the boy and asked "who's your mother" the boy started to fidget and mumbled something. "What was that I couldn't hear you sorry" he stops fidgeting and looks me in the eye as he says "your sister, loveday is my mom" I look at him like he's crazy "are you sure" I ask stupidly. The boy takes a piece of paper put of his pocket "she wrote you a note oh and my name is adahy (which is a Native American name and means: lives in the woods)" I took the paper and read it
Dear Robin,
I know this must be a surprise to find out that I have a son but alas it is true that is part of the reason I ran away. That and I was going to marry Adahy's father. However we had a falling out and I ran into the woods I couldn't let father see me in my condition. So like a fool I ran but I can't care for Adahy any more I fear he will starve in the woods. Please take care of him for me.
Love
Loveday
So it's true I thought I looked at adahy and smiled at him "I guess your my nephew come with me lets get you some food. He smiled and nodded his head yes and for the first time that day I forgot about the irate princess down the hall in a cell.
