A/N: So sorry for the late update. School kidnapped me again. But here's the next installment!
When Nemo declared their arrival, he took Henry aside.
"I understand if you wish to stay on the ship, Henry. But the others need a rest, and France IS a popular place to do that."
"It's fine, Nemo. Honest. You needn't worry. I'll be fine."
Liar.
"Good. I'll take the others. If you wish to join us, you may."
Nemo walked off. He knew Henry was still recovering, and had hoped that the 'vacation' they were taking would help lighten his mood. Apparently not. Ah well. Some things could not be helped.
The next day, Henry decided (after being badgered by Edward) to go for a walk. Just a quick walk, nothing more. Nothing less.
Henry picked a street he was unfamiliar with. Not the best move, but he couldn't bear going somewhere he knew.
It was dusk. Henry hadn't meant to be out for this long. The others would be getting worried. As he turned and started to head back he nearly stepped on a ferret.
"Whoops! Sorry."
"It's a ferret, Henry. Why are you apologizing?"
Henry ignored Edward and picked up the ferret. It had a collar, proclaming its name as 'Fritz'.
"Well, Fritz, where's your owner?" Henry looked around.
"Fritz! I know the dining room is full of smoke and all, but that's no excuse for running out into the streets!" Called a woman's voice. Henry turned in the direction her voice came from. The woman was of average height. Her hair was blonde and streaked with midnight black. Her eyes were dark pools.
Henry swallowed. "I believe Fritz is over here." He said.
A/N: CLIFFHANGER! Bwahahaha. Sorry for it being so short. I tried. Hopefully I will be able to update this more often. It's just kinda difficult right now.
