"Father I need her thorn! Then I can," "I said no Cedric and that is final. They are dead my boy, I'm sorry." Goodwyn had cut his son off not wanting to let this argument to continue, he sets down shaking his head. At this point Cedric is beyond pissed with his Father that he didn't see his Mother slip away taking Sofia with her outside to wait for him. "Fine then Father I'll find something else without your help." Cedric stormed off before Goodwyn could say anything else. He was so mad that he almost left without Sofia, she ran over to stop him on the trail to the coach. "Cedric?" Both his hand shot to his face he knew how much it upset Sofia to see him fight like that with his Father, covering his face in shame. "Sofia I'm so sorry, but I had..." She grabs his forearms to get him to stop and look at her. "Winifred has something for you to find Rose with." She then lead him down to the bench by a small pond that Sofia and Winifred were sitting and waiting on. Winifred pat the bench next to her for Cedric to sit, Sofia sat next to him. "Its was her likeness, not an illusion?" Winifred asked her son calmly. Cedric answered flatly "Yes." She thinks about his answer for a moment then reaches out to take his hand "Then you will need this." She placed a locket in his hand.

Cedric was shocked "Mummy no I can't ask..." Winifred stopped her son, "Find her and bring her home son." She then got up and went back to her home leaving Sofia and Cedric on the bench. Cedric looked back at the locket, a black onyx stone carved into a rose in full bloom, he opened the locket to show Sofia that she was right about Rose's age. He sighed "Rose made this locket herself for Mummy's birthday the last time any of us saw her or Uncle Rob. She was so proud that she created it using her Druidic magic that she could not wait to give it to Mummy." There in the locket was a small portrait of Winifred, Rob, and Rose at 18, wearing her favorite crescent moon necklace, Cedric smiles at the portrait. "She loved that necklace, it's a locket as well but she only wanted a portrait of her and I. I swear she only called me cousin because of my Father, otherwise she and I are more brother and sister than Cordelia and I." This makes him chuckle, "What are you thinking about Cedric?" Sofia softly asked leaning over to look at the portrait in the locket better. "I made her the moon locket then we were about 15 or was it 16 years old when Uncle Rob finally told her about her mother Luna, after that she wanted something to represent her mother so I got some silver from Mummy and made it with the intention of it holding a portrait of her mother, but she wanted it to hold us."Sofia saw Cedric turn grim again, "Cedric, let's get back to the castle it's close to dinner time and you will need to eat and rest for the tracking spell." She slips her hand over the locket locking it between their hands to lead him to the coach.

As they walked up the coachman watch the Princess and Sorcerer but said nothing. He bowed and opened the door to the coach "Princess Sofia." "Thank you coachman, back to the castle please, but there's no rush, I don't want the horses overworked." She said as he closed the coach door behind her and Cedric. "Yes your Highness." Once on their way home Sofia sat next to Cedric resting her head on his shoulder, "So how are you going to use the locket to find Rose?" Cedric had not stop looking at their hands where the locket was, he then took a deep breath and looked at Sofia with a bit of shock. "What perfume are you wearing Sofia?" "Umm no your not hiding from me you answer first then I will answer." She lifted her head off his shoulder to look him in the eyes. "Well... I... I umm," He sighs "to be honest I don't know what spell to use I will need to read through my spell books to see if I can even track her." She looked shocked "But Cedric you taught me a locator spell can you not..?" Cedric was shaking his head "No Sofia, that spell is not strong enough to find my cousin. It will work for short distances, but I have know idea where she could be." He sighed.

Sofia looked at the locket again, "Your turn." She turned to face him, he had that small sexy smirk that made Sofia blush "The one you made me for Wassailia." He loved catching her in the act but this time it just triggered another memory of his cousin. "You know that I perfected that recipe for Rose, she loved lavender too." Sofia was shocked and looked back to the locket "She was special to you wasn't she?" Not taking her eyes off the locket till Cedric closed his hand, bring his other hand to her cheek "Like I said my dear, she was more my sister than my cousin, I trusted her and she, like you, made me see my potentials and strengths. Also like you, she was very good at healing though she did not use a wand, like Uncle Rob she chose the longer harder training of the Druids. 12 years of training on top of school like Hexley Hall, but she loved the potential to heal others with Druidism that it didn't bother her that she would be training until she was 18 or 20. Lavender is also a very soothing herb so she would wear it as a perfume to help calm whomever she was helping." Sofia could not help it and kissed Cedric, soft pink lips full of passion, for the span of a few heartbeats he kissed her back then came back to his senses before the coach man heard anything. "Sofia, we need to stop." He whispered to her, "please set on the other side of the coach so I am not potentially accused of fornication with you." Sofia reaches up to his bowtie and pulled it a bit, "do you want to fornicate with me Mr. Cedric?" At that he moved to the other side "Sofia you know my answer to that." He looked at the locket in his hand, "it's just now I can't think about that when I need to save my cousin I should have never abandoned hope that she was alive." Sofia reached over and hugged Cedric kissing his cheek "I'm sorry I didn't mean..." With a quick kiss he silenced her "No I know you didn't." He smiled and pushed her back to the other side of the coach.

A/N Thank you to those who are liking the story. Yes I am on purpose making Sofia jealous of Rose. Like Cedric keeps telling Sofia, Robert or "Rob" is Winifred's brother, Luna sadly died in childbirth that why Cedric and Rose were close growing up, Rob needed help raising his little girl.
