The men surround the girls and when Rose's hood fell off, some of them sat shocked, and the king was on of them. Soon a big horse came in between the girls and the men. Rose jumped up but Tesha rode off.
"What about Lissa?"
"Look what she caused!" Tesha hissed and Rose fell silent. She knew what was going to happen.
Lissa was scared even more now that the men dismounted, but when she saw her dad, she flung herself at him and hugged him tight. Her hood fell off with the fast movement, and Lissa soon felt arms around her.
"baby, why did you steal?" Lissa looked you at her father, tears in her eyes, as there was in Lissa's.
"I was hungry." Eric sighed and paid the man for the apple his daughter took. He helped her onto the horse and the went back to the castle
"who was the young Median that was with you?" Lissa was sitting beside her mother and boyfriend Christian, good fried of Prince Dimitri.
"I think it was…" Lissa trailed off and looked down. She was told about he Princess gong missing, everyone heard.
"Lissa?" Janine asked smoothly like a loving mother, which she was, she was a second other to me.
"Rosemarie. I think it was Rosemarie." Abe sucked in a breath and so did everyone around the room.
"How-" Janine was close to tears.
"I asked her how she ended up were we where and she said when she was three months, she was in her nursery with her nanny who was asleep, and that someone too her out of her room. She has your hair Abe and your nose Janine. She even has the same birthday." Abe clasped his hands and looked up at the ceiling.
"Thank god! Please let this be her!" Abe then rang the bell, getting all the people from his city to the castle. Everyone went out, even the queen, Princess's and prince's of Russia.
"First off!" Abe's voice hit the walls, loud and proud, Janine at his side. "Lady Vanilisa Dragimor is safe, found and unharmed!" there was cheers from the crowed. "Secondly!" Abes' voice was louder again. "We believe, your Princess Rosemarie is found!" there was even loud of a cheer. Abe son got on his horse and with his men, Eric and the Prince of Russia and his friend, they set out to the manor. Lissa had to go with them to show them the way.
*Manor*
Rose was in pain. She found it hard to move her arms with the whipping she got. She kept her head down when there was a bang at the manor door. Because of what she was told to do if this ever happened, she ran to her room as softly as possible, and hid under her small bed, breathing heavily and listening to footsteps and the sounds of glass or whatever being pushed off tables or walls.
When the door opened in her room, Rose froze and held her breath. She was so scared she put her head to the flood, and pushed herself as far as she could to the wall behind her. Bad move.
While she was doing this, she bumped her head on the bed causing a thud to sound around the room. The footsteps stopped and walked over to the bed. Rose sank to the wall terrified, but when the covers lifted up she relaxed.
There knelt a man. Very tall, wit shoulder length brown hair an brown eyes. He was handsome and had a build to him that was perfect. Even though Rose was dumbfounded by this mans' beauty, she sunk back into the wall, as far as she could.
"Hello." Rose didn't reply. "My name is Dimitri." the way he talked told Rose he wasn't from here, mostly because of his accent. "What's' your name?" the man looked to b around twenty, but Rose wasn't use to having people in the house. It was just mainly her, and some of her animal friends that got hurt. Rose shook her head at the mans question, so he put his hand under the bed. Rose was lying on her stomach so his hand nearly brushed her hair that was in front of her. "Will you come with me?" Rose looked at the hand an hesitated, however, she did place her small hand into his big open one. Rose and Dimitri both felt fire in the hands once they touched, and Dmitry pulled Rose out from under the bed and stood her up. Dimitri looked into her warm brown eyes that held peace and love for all life. His heart skipped a beat.
"Rose." she barely whispered, but Dimitri heard it and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Roza." Rose blushed as they walked. For some reason, Rose trusted this man, and it was only this man she would go with. Rose was a bit ashamed of herself though. She was wearing worn, ripped and dirty dress, with no shoes. Her hair was knotted and her face was covered In filth, but the Dimitri didn't mind, he still thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
They made it to the foyer of the house, and Rose tensed when she saw the men and horses and Tesha even being held.
"That's my servant!" Tesha hissed at Dimitri and Rose flinched as Tesha looked at her. Her back still hurt, and now, it was burning. Rose was really quiet.
"What's your name?" asked the man that looked to be in charge. Rose looked over at Tesha who looked pissed. Rose just put her head to the floor not meeting any ones eyes.
"Her name is Rose, Abe." Abe looked at the young woman behind Dimitri. He was looking at her and trying to find out who she was. To Abe, the hair looked like his, and from the glimsp he got of her eyes, they were his too. The same colour. Rose looked tan, lik someone from Turkey, where Abe was from, but the girl was small, like his wife Janine, maybe a centimetre taller. She looked to be in pai and Abe didn't want that. He wanted this girl to be safe. Even though he didn't know who she was.
"Are you okay?" Abe asked looking at the girl. Her face was twisted in pain and her nails were digging into her palms. She looked skinny and fragile, but once again, she didn't answer, and Tesha smiled, but that soon faded. A squirrel came running in the house and ran to Rose, but the men caught the vermin and was about to stab it. Rose looked on horrified but she stopped it.
"No!" she screamed and ran t the squirrel. It was her only friend before Lissa came here. Rose found it in her room, with a hurt tail and Rose fixed it up and soon it was healed and the squirrel came back to visit Rose.
Rose picked up Nibbles- her nickname for him- and hugged him to her. Nibbles curled himself into a ball and fell asleep.
"That thing could be deized." said a man, trying to take it from Rose. Rose stepped back and took another, until she was safely behind Dimitri, but he man kept walking towards her. She ended up backed into the wall, and moaned. The pain was unbearable and she fell to the floor.
"Dimitri, she seems to only trust you." Rose's eyes were closed and she couldn't see anything, but she felt a hand go onto her shoulder.
"Roza." the name soothed Rose and she opened her eyes. "What's wrong?" Rose looked at Dimitri and sighed. She placed Nibbles down, who ran to Abe, and jumped to him and began cuddling him, and Abe laughed.
Rose pulled down the back of her dress an pulled her hair to the side. Dimitri growled when he saw all the wounds, new and old, on her back. He help Rose fix her dress sand helped her stand. He then looked over at tesha who was smirking.
"Servants are here to serve, not to be harmed." Dimitri bellowed and Rose flinched. Abe looked mad.
"She's my servant ever since I took her, I get to choose how she's punished or not!" Dimitri was about to reply, but Abe silenced him with his own voice.
"Took her?"
"See Rose! He doesn't even know you! As I said when you were younger! They left you! They didn't care for you!" Abe looked confused so Tesha laughed. "Ibraham Mazer!" Tesha was laughing like a crazy woman. Dimitri wondered what he ever saw in her. "Meet, Princess Rosemarie Anya Hathaway-Mazer!" Rose was shocked. She only ever told Rose her name Rosemarie Anya, she never told her anything else. Princess? Rose couldnt be a Princess, she was a servant! Abe growled.
"Tesha Ozera!" Dimitri bellowed again in disbelief. The guard took her out and put her in a cage.
"So I take it, your-" Rose started, tears in her eyes.
"I'm your father." Rose hugged Abe and held him tight. Everyone else left and Abe looked at Rose.
"My little Princess! Your safe now!" Abe picked up his daughter, even tough he knows that she is now officially eighteen. He mounted her on his horse and got on after. Abe wrapped his cloak around his daughter to keep her warm then they Rose to the palace.
The bells chimed as soon as Abe entered the city, calling everyone to the meeing point to hear the news. Abe helped Rose off of the horse and they walked through the palace together. Rose spotted a woman, older then her, trying to lift a walked over and helped the woman lift it up.
"Thank you." said the woman with a waarm smile. Rose smiled back and continued to walk with her father. When he got to a balcony, saw, Lissa, a woman that looked like Lissa, and a man, his arms around the woman and Lissa. She then saw a small woman with red hair. She looked sad and had darkness in her eys, which was caused from grif and loss.
Abe walked to the edge of the balcony, hand in Rose's. has voice was load and commanding.
"You are all a wear that our Princess, was taken from us, this very day, eighteen years ago!" he stopped and looked at Rose. Rose looked up at the man. "And today!" he sounded happy and proud. "We hav her back with us!" Abe took down the hood of the cloak to revile Rose. She looked around and everyone cheered. The small woman was crying and walked up to Abe and Rose.
"Rose, this is your mother." Rose fell into her others arms and for the first tie in her whole life, she was safe. Loved, and safe!
Tesha however was being taken out of the art she was put in and held but two guards. She looked up at the king queen, and new found Princess.
"Fr the kidnappign of Lady Vanilisa Dragimor!" Rose's mothers voice was load and scary, "And of Princess Rosemarie Hathaway!" Abe and Janine both looked down at tesha. "Life in the dungeon!"
