Sean POV
We were out here. Walking the streets trying to find the Captains daughter. I've been spending time with Bailey for a while now. When her father wasn't looking. She has told me a some about her past, how her father wasn't there for the first couple years of her life, how her mother isn't in the picture anymore. And how she hates it in this castle. I mean who wouldn't right. But for some reason, she thinks that she has the right to hate it more than anyone. And no matter how many times, or what I ask. She wont tell me why.
I mean, I get it. We live in the same building with a serial killer. But I mean, at least she doesn't have to take orders from him. So what could be worse than that right? I have no clue. But for some reason, she thinks she does. But I don't say anything. Because maybe it could be worse. But I doubt it.
Me and my brother Brandon, have been guards for Bailey since the first day. Which started about a couple months ago. We didn't know Choal was her father until the third week. Which would explain why he was always making us train...
*Memory lane*
Brandon and I where just getting done with our training, and decided to head out to the game park, and see what trouble we could get into. We've only been here for about five days. And each day was the same.
Guard the girl.
We would follow her when ever she went for a walk, or when she wanted to get chocolate cake from the kitchen (which was everyday.) - I have no idea how that girl was still so skinny. I mean I watched her eat a whole chocolate cake. She didn't offer anyone a piece. Just ate it all by herself. Which was amazing.- And we still barely know anything about this girl. Aside from her liking chocolate. She seemed cool. But she hardly ever spoke to us. The only time she would say anything was to threaten us, if we touched her cake. That and when she wanted to go somewhere. But besides that. She ignored us. Which I get. I mean why would SHE want to talk to us guards.
We are her age. And she doesn't really talk to anyone.
I thought to myself.
We finally arrived at the gamer park. I toke a deep breath of the much needed fresh air. I could tell it was turning Fall. There was a slight chill in the breeze. And the leaves on the trees that surrounded the park, where turning brown. I loved Fall. Sure it was colder than Summer. But it was better than Spring. This way there isn't bad weather.
"Hey." Brandon's deep voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned my face towards him as we stood at the enterance of the park. A stone path leading the way through the rows of trees. "Look." Brandon pointed his chin towards the end of the path that stood before us.
I turned my attention from him to the path. No. Not the path. But the person at the end of the path. I first noticed the bounce of long brown hair, with white highlights. As it was tied up in a long pony tail. I then noticed how the white t-shirt that she wore stuck to her body. Showing off her curves very very well. Then I saw the tight sweats. Giving her leg mucles away. The way they moved under the cloth. Then her white shoes. - Nothing interesting there. Lets go back up shall we?- I looked over her more than enough times. Thankfully, she was running the other way.
"Hey." Brandon snapped his fingers in front of my face.
I jerked my head back. Surprised. " What?" I asked. As if nothing happened.
"What was that?" Brandon asked. Looking from me to her. Finally sighing. "You have no chance with that." He stated.
"Please. Like I would want that." I huffed. But I didn't do a good enough job. And Brandon saw right through it. So being the little 6 year old kid I am, I shot back. "You want it too." I stared at him and narrowed my eyes. Trying to make my point come across more serious in a way.
"Yeah." He said bluntly. "But I don't stare at it, and start drooling all over myself."
Shocked, my mouth dropped open. I thought Brandon would have denied it. Heck. I didn't even think he looked at her. Heck I didn't think he even looked. Well, not at girls.
Brandon smiled at my moment of surprise. "Lets go." He said, dropping his smile, then took off running after her.
It took me a second longer to get over what Brandon said. Then I started after him.
Damn was she fast. I mean, I don't know if we where trying to catch up to her, or what. But I mean, I couldn't even run a whole lap without slowing down to a jog for a while. But, watching her run, she didn't even break for a rest. And she was going fast. And something makes me think, that she is just jogging. I watched as she kept going. We were about a couple yards away from her. And while we ran. I just kept looking at her. The way the seemed to feel right at home outside in nature. She looked as if she belonged here, as if she was a creation of mother nature herself. And who knows. Maybe she was.
After about another hour of walking through the paths of the game park, ( following her) She had stopped, and walked for a little while. But never looked back. She had to know we were here. From the sounds of Brandons... ok my breathing. A deaf person would know we where behind them. But she never even glanced back.
It seemed that she was walking back to the castle, when out of no where, there was a crash. And then Bailey started running again.
What does she eat?
I toke off after her, with Brandon right...beside me.
We came to an opening in the park. And that's when I think I fell in love.
There was a servant on ground. She must have tripped over a tree root or something, and she dropped something made of glass. That now decorated the opening in little sparkly pieces. And there was wasn't yelling, or scolding like I thought she would. She was simply talking to the lady. And trying to help her up. The servant must have been about 20 maybe a little older, and from where I was, it looked like she had cut her hand open. And there was a lot of blood.
I had stopped about 8 yards away from them. Frozen at the sight of Bailey doing something nice. ( I mean come on. She does steal chocolate cake.) I've never seen her done anything to help others. There was movement by my side, and then I say Brandon start running towards the two ladies.
"Are you ok?" I heard him ask. He kneeled down next to the fallen lady. And really close to Bailey.
I ran over there as well. Just coming into the conversation.
"- so then it shattered." The lady said as she sat up, holding her bleeding hands. She looked scared for some reason. She had brown hair, that was pulled up in a sock bun, and a grey servants outfit. That also had blood on it.
"Its all good. We all make mistakes." The voice was soft, warm, and forgiving. It came from Bailey. Her voice was like bells to my ears. " Here." I watched as she grabbed her shirt, and tore a big piece off of it.
"What are you doing?" The ladies eyes widen in terr. She must think that she is in trouble or is going to be in trouble for Bailey ripping her shirt.
"May I see your hand please?" Bailey asked. She looked at the lady, in a soft welcoming way. And she was very polite. I would have given her anything she asked of me if she asked me in that way. The lady must have been under her spell as well, cause she placed her bleeding hand palm up into Baileys waiting one.
Bailey wasn't bothered by the blood at all. It didn't gross her out one bit. But it did me. I wanted to look away so bad. But I couldn't. it was like a miracle was happening right in front of me. She was very gentle, as she grabbed the piece of cloth she ripped off her shirt, and began tying it around the women's hands. The lady didn't even hiss in pain or flinch. Bailey was so gentle with the lady. She acted as if the servant was made of glass.
"Can you please help take her to the healers? Please? I'll clean up this mess. And I'll take the blame." Bailey stated, as she looked right at Brandon.
"Yes ma'am." He said as he started to left the women. This time the lady flinched as the touch that she just witnessed with Bailey, was replaced by a little less gentler touch from a man.
'Its ok." Bailey said as she looked towards the lady, and she looked straight into the ladys terrified eyes. "Brandon here, is my friend." Bailey stated, surprising not just me. But Brandon as well. I didn't even know she knew out names. Let alone where we friends. Maybe she is mental. Bailey went on, as if she didn't just shock us. "You can trust him. He is going to take you to the healers ok?" Bailey smiled to the lady trying to calm her down. "I'll come and check on you later if that is alright." Bailey was still smiling as the women nodded.
Once Brandon toke the servant to the healers, Bailey started cleaning the mess up. Making sure she got every piece. Still in my trance, I down on my knee, and staring at the cracks in the stone.
"You gonna help?" Baileys voice rang through my ears. Sounding like angles signing. Bring me from my trance I looked at her. "What?" She asked. Her gentle ton gone, replaced with a guarded tone.
"Um..Y-yeah. Sorry." I stuttered. Then something magical happened.
Bailey laughed. And it was the most beautiful laugh ever. Then she went back to picking up glass. And I helped her.
*Back from memory lane*
Brandon and I were walking down the main street. Citizens, running, and hiding at the sight of us. Probably afraid we were here to nab someone, and take them to the King. Thankfully we weren't.
"Where could she be?" I wondered out loud. I was scared. I couldn't lose her. Even though, we have only been 'friends' for a short while. I really liked her. And I know Brandon did to.
After that day in the Game Park. She would talk to us. Not on a ordering level. But as a friend.
We both got to know her well. I think I know her better than Brandon. But hey. Whatever.
I looked all around. I even looked up at the roof tops. Nothing. Nothing. She was no where. This is going to take all night. Which I didn't mind. As long as we found her. I would rather we find her now. And it not last all night. But if that's how long the search needs to be. Then so be it. We where finding her no matter what the cost. Because friends don't give up on friends. Especially if you love them.
Hope ya'll liked it. Please review. I'll be back soon. I love writing this story. And I have all summer to do so now. Please again Review, I would love to hear your comments. :)
