Chapter 4:

A few drops of blood soaked in the wooden floor. Her fingers had started to bleed when the wooden wall had burst under the power of her hit. She looked at the drops with a small smile. The drops disappeared so fast, they vanished and they will never come back just like her parents.

She put the wooden figure and the rose symbol in one of her small pockets. Her view flew over the steppe in front of her as soon as she realized that there was nothing except a few lonely willows she spun around to the men.

"have you seen a young couple in the Surrounding?" she asked with a serious voice. Phillip looked at her with an unsure gaze "No, why should we? Are you now riding with us are you going to keep staring around?" an angry tune was in his Voice but Odette didn't care. She looked at Dominique but he just gave her a sad smile "I'm sorry little one, we haven't seen anyone in the last days of our trip"

Odettes hope break to shards but she tried to look neutral "Oh ist okay, I just hoped that you saw my parents" she said in a small voice. Dominique gave her an empathetic smile "Come on, we will keep on our trip now. Maybe we will Find them down the Road" with that He holds out his hand to her.

Odette Paused But she has to Trust These Men. She lifted her Hand and Took bis Hand. Together they went to his brown horse. She had never ridden a Horse, she was never even that close to one.

Slowly she let her fingertips run over the hide of the big animal. It was not fluffy but felt smooth anyway. Dominique looked at her with a sympathetic smile "ready?" she nodded at his question and with that, he lifts her up and sat her down on the back of the horse. Her legs hang down at one side of the back of the horse and she had to turn her torso to the side to look at the front of the horse.

It was weird to sit there on this big animal but just moments later Dominique sat in front of her. "you should better hold close if you don't want to fall Little one" with that her hands lay around his chest and hold close. When the man was sure that she was comfortable he makes his horse start they're trip.

Odette closed her eyes for the first minutes of the ride but when she was sure she wouldn't fall she opened her eyes and looked around. The fields fall back behind them and slowly there were more and more trees they went in the woods.
