I feel safer around Rido. I hope my family doesn't come looking for me. Well, I wouldn't mind if my brother did. I know he cares. My brother cares more for me than our father does. At least he tried to calm me down, I thought. I snuggled into my new husband. We haven't been married for long. We got married shortly after he asked. It felt nice to actually have my own family. I couldn't wait to have a daughter.
"Come closer my dear," Rido whispered.
I snuggled even closer until I couldn't snuggle any closer. I sat up and turned my head in the direction of the window.
"What is it my sweet?" He asked.
"I thought I heard someone calling for me."
"Your family couldn't have found you this quickly." Rido wrapped his arm around me.
I blushed. "I know. I ran pretty far. Maybe they saw my footprints, and followed them to the creek, and began searching once they lost my footprints. Then again the footprints were pretty faint. I could have been imagining it." I leaned my head against his shoulder. "If I did hear someone, I hope that it's my brother. He really cares for me. He always looked after me. He wanted to find a way for me to have a family of my own."

I was in the garden looking at all the flowers that Rido had hidden away from his family. I smiled at the thought that this was for me and him alone.

I can't believe I'm actually here. Where I belong. I can't believe I could've been here the whole time. Having a family of my own. A daughter even. Once I have her, I'll go back home and show her off to my brother, his wife and child, and my father.

I heard footsteps come up behind me. I turned to face my brother. I backed away slowly. "What are you doing here? Did father send you?"

My brother smiled slightly. "Father did ask me to come get you. I did mention that you would most likely wanted him to come find you himself. Also having a family of your own. He didn't believe me. I don't think he ever will about you and your feelings. Plus I wanted to make sure that my little sister was okay. I was worried about you. Who found you and brought you here? I just want to make sure that you're safe. That whoever found you will take good care of you."

Should I tell him that a pureblood found me and has been taking care of me for the past couple days? I sighed. "A pureblood saved me. He asked me to marry him and I said yes. We're thinking of a time to get married."I should tell him that it was Rido that saved me and took me in when I needed it.

I felt arms wrap around me and pull me into a warm, protective hug. "Which pureblood was it that saved you? Please tell me. I promise that I won't tell dad who it is," my brother whispered.

"It was Rido. Rido Kuran," I answered. "He found me when I ran away, and he's been looking out for me ever since. I think I may even be pregnant with his child." I hugged my brother. "I miss you. I'll come back once I gave birth to our child. I want a relationship with father again and I'm hoping that having a child might help make him see."

I saw my brother smile. "Is it the daughter you always wanted?"

"I don't know. I truly hop so. It'll make me so very happy to have a daughter."

There were footsteps behind us. "Who's this?" A voice asked.

I turned to face Rido. "Him? He's my big brother. I told you about him before when I thought I heard someone calling my name. He came searching for me. It makes me happy that I get to see him."

Rido smiled slightly. "I'm not letting him take you away from me. He needs to leave." Rido came over grabbed my arm and started pulling me away from my brother.

In the last chapterit has actually been a couple of days since Rose ran away from home and scared her brother. Rose hasn't met Rido's family yet. She's been hidden from them. Rido doesn't want her too as of yet. Not sure if she will or not. Rose has slept with Rido.
