*time passage of 2 days*
Wufie sat waiting patiently for whichever of the trio was going to meet him. Wishing they hurry he didn't like leaving Quatre alone in the palace with Dermil and his uncle around.
"Sorry I am late." Wufie looked up to see Trowa standing before him. "It is fine. I just feel uneasy leaving Quatre behind with Dermil skulking around the castle."
"Dermil is there why?"
"There has been several big balls thrown in honor of the marriage of the original king and his wife. Many of Treiz's loyal subjects and ones he wants to impress have been there, that is why Quatre could not leave he had to stay and pretend that he thought his uncle was doing a good job in helping the kingdom and such."
Trowa frowned. "I don't like him being alone with the man either. Any news we should know about?"
Wufie nodded. "Not much. The sherif has a new plan there will be a dummy coach coming down the West path. It will be full of nothing but guards with loaded weapons. Also they are going to start searching homes periodically for traces of you. Should any be found the family will be imprisoned."
Trowa nodded. "Other then the church there is nothing to tie us to the place. We will remove out stuff from their and hide more in the forest now."
"Quatre said that if you moved across the river, more toward the eastern area, that you wont be bothered. There is rumored spirits there. And no known way to cross the river but at the bridge several miles away. He says though his sister and him had found a foot path just under the water..a ridge.. a couple feet wide and a foot under the water. And the spirits the people speak of was her and him. set it up so they wouldn't be bothered in their games. I plan to show you the path, I remember them taking me there when I first arrived."
Trowa nodded and followed Wufie. "How long have you been with his family?"
Wufie gave a faint smile, "Since I was eight years old. I came here for studies. And Quatre and his father asked me to stay and be his advisor. I had to learn about their ways here. but for the most part until I was older I was more of a playmate and a advisor making sure Quatre didn't run to wild."
"Quatre wild?"
Wufie nodded with a small chuckle. "He was a holy terror with manners. After he played a trick on someone he would say sorry. Or if he did not like them he would tell them thank you for the laugh and run off pulling me behind. He never liked his uncle much as I remember. even as a child would stand behind me and act like if he couldn't see his uncle his uncle couldn't see him. His uncle didn't find the game very amusing."
Trowa laughed picturing a smaller version of Quatre running around causing trouble.
They had arrived at the path and Wufie showed him how to find his way across. And then showed him to the young princes hiding grounds.
"We use to play here alot.quatre didn't play much with the other Nobel's children they normally thought him to childish. Or would try to manipulate him."
Trowa nodded before looking up at the sky "We should be getting back. We will move here."
Wufie followed him as he walked back to the river. "This will make meeting at the ruins easier. It is a half way point between the two. We plan to visit the village tomorrow. Quatre plans to donate more money and leave some items with Father Maxwell and that onna. Also we shall give them the next time we should meet." Wufie refused to speak her name.
Trowa hid a smile and nodded."Give Quatre my regaurds. And we shall see you soon."
Wufie climbed on his horse and made his way to the castle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*durning that same time*
"Prince Quatre are you enjoying yourself?" Quatre looked away from the dancers to see Dermil standing beside him. he mentally frowned as he put on his brightest smile.
"I always enjoy a good ball, Dear sheriff. And yourself?"
"I am deeply honored to have been able to attend such a gathering. Have you dance with the young ladies? I'm sure many are wishing to be attended on by you." Dermil said stepping closer to him.
"Yes, I have with many. They are quiet lovely and sweet. Any man will be proud to have one as his wife. If you excuse me Sheriff Dermil I see an old friend I dearly wish to greet," with that he turned and headed toward a group.
As he made his way he couldn't help the sigh. He didn't know what Dermil wanted but the man being so close made is skin crawl. He wished Wufie was here. In truth he wished he was with Wufie instead of here. And in greater truth he wished he was alone with Trowa. A smile crept across his face as he pictured himself alone with the outlaw who had slowly been stealing his heart.
As the day wore on he began to grow tired. Having danced with nearly every lady talked with the men. been introduced to all those who would later be supporting him. He simply wished for his bed. as he was waiting for a new drink to be brought to him he felt a hand under his elbow and turn to see Dermil standing beside him with an odd look upon his face.
"Prince Quatre. Your uncle has asked me to escort you to another room. He has something important he must speak with you about."
"Which room i shall find my way there"
"your highness. You must be escorted should there be a trouble maker here tonight they would use the hallway when you leave as a good way to be off with you."
Quatre nodded his head and followed.
As they walked down the dimly lit hallway, a chill began to climb up his back. He couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that something was wrong. Dermil opened a door and Quatre walked through Looking around the darkened room for his uncle
"Dermil are you sure..." he was cut off as he turned around. Two thick hands had grabbed his arms and held him as a mouth was pressed painfully adjacent his. he could smell and taste the alcohol on the mans breath.
"Mmohmm!" He tried to yell against the mouth. squirming to get free.
Dermil pulled back and smiled. "Did you like that prince? would you like more?"
Quatre yelled" No get your hands off me!" he tried to get away again. becoming quiet frantic as Dermil gripped him tighter and pulled him against him
"Your just playing hard to get your highness" he said the name mockingly, " No one can here you. Over the crowd and being far away.." As he said that he rubbed against Quatre.
Quatre froze for a moment before wiggling enough to bring his knee up against the Sheriff . "argh" the sheriff let go immediately, Quatre grabbed the door and ran quickly back to the party. He stopped just befor entering and took a steady breath and fixed his cloths.
He made his way through the crowed spotting his uncle in a corner with some older gentlemen "Uncle I'm quiet tired. If it would please you. I would like to retire for the evening. The ladies are quiet energetic for me." He smiled a sweet don't you believe me smile
His uncle nodded. "Of course Quatre. We all understand how a lady can tire a man out." The other men laughed as Quatre smiled again and left. As soon from sight he quickly ran to his room and bolted the door, knowing Wufie would come through the passage from his room.
As he waited for Wufie, he changed out of his cloths and using the water in his room scrubbed his skin and face before putting on new cloths. As he was sitting back on his bed he heard the familiar footsteps behind the wall before the tapestry moved and Wufie appeared.
"Quatre what are you doing back from the party so early?" Wufie asked obviously surprised.
"Wufie..something happened." He frowned sitting up and crossing his arms, hands resting on the upper part.
"What? What happened? "Wufie was by his friend immediately sitting down, beside him worry evident on his face.
"Dermil.. told me Treiz wanted to see me and led me away...so I followed..he..he showed me to one of the drawing rooms and when I looked and saw no one there I turned to ask him if he made a mistake...Wufie he grabbed me and kissed me...I couldn't get away no one could hear me..."
A furious scowl appeared on Wufie's face, it turning a dangerous red as he grabbed Quatre. "Did he do anything else? anything at all?"
Quatre shook his head, looking down. "No other then rub against me..i kneed him in the groin and ran...I gained permission to go to bed early and came here and bolted my door.. Wufie i was afraid...i mean..what if i hadn't gotten away. "
Quatre was normaly very strong. Not as weak and frail as others thought. even Wufie knew he was stronger then he looked, but right now he was shaken up badly and was having a hard time holding face.
Wufie moved and embraced him. Quatre tensed not from fear but from shock before he relaxed and gave into the embrace letting Wufie help calm his fears.
"It is ok Quatre. this will all be over soon. The only thing keeping me from running him through is the fact that it would blow our cover and then you truly would be here alone."
Quatre gave a smile and pulled out of his friends grasp. "Thank you Wufie. your a true friend."
"Of course I am.. How many untrue friends would put up with your uncles advances and that awful onna as a partner."
Quatre laughed at that "come on wufie..can you really not like her that much?"
Wufie turned his head. "She has some fine qualities...if she wasn't stubborn, loud mouthed, hot headed, egotistical, and knew her place."
Quatre smiled then" aww I knew you would like her.."
Wufie hmphed and got up moving to Quatre writing desk. "im sending a letter to the others to let them know what went on."
"did they like the new place?"
"Trowa said it would work fine"
Quatre practically beamed at this.
Wufie noticed and smirked "growing quiet attached are we not?
"I don't know what you mean."
"You cant not fool me Your Highness. i know what your thinking and your quiet..smitten with leader of the rebels"
Quatre pretend he didn't hear him
"As long as it doesn't cloud your judgment Quatre. there is nothing wrong with it" Quatre gave a small smile.
