Chapter 1 "Tomorrow's another day"

Nine long and hard years passed. Time hadn't been kind to Gellers. Monica had to start living in the convent after they lost their house due to unpaid taxes. Ross and Jack moved into a smaller house, but soon It was getting unbearable for Ross to live in with their dad alone without Monica. Jack was a raw man and kept strick disclipine in the house, a little too strick. Ross had to work extra time to pay the rent of his humble house and soon it was just too much. But luckily every cloud has a silver lining and he got to move in to the Green mansion's maids area after being promoted to a hired hand.

Monica and Ross barely ever saw each other anymore. The convent was forbidden place for men so Ross couldn't visit her there. The fact that Ross knew how well Monica had learned to take care of herself made it easier though. She was the best fighter he had ever laid his eyes on. He had taught her so of course she was the best. He knew she could beat up any man triple her size. It was all about the tactic.

Ross was sad though about Monica's fate. He knew she didn't want to become a nun. She wanted to experience life of passion and love. She had told that to Ross and he understood. He wanted more for her too, but there was nothing he could do about it. She was already 20 years old wich meant she was old enough to take care of herself. He had to let her fight her own battles now

She was so beautiful and passionate about life that it glowed out of her cristal blue eyes. And he knew she'd be able to do what ever she wanted and nothing would stand in her way. He would always be there for her in spirit no matter how far away they'd be from one another. They had this sixth sense when it came to each other. They could always feel when the other was feeling down or was in danger. And when the time would come he'd know what to do to help her and she'd do what ever it took to help him as well if things were the other way around. Together they knew they could face anything the world would throw at them. Together they'd be unbeatable.

But they could not be together always. Soon the time would come to let go. Their road together would end and new journeys would start apart from each other. New journeys to fight a good fight against the evil. New journeys of love and passion.

Rachel Green was frustrated. Her parents were giving her the hard time about Lorentino av von Boopenhaben (---Don't ask me!?)

"Lorentino av von Boopenhaben!!!" What kind of a name is that anyway?

She didn't want to be Rachel Karen av von Boopenhaben that's for sure. In fact that was the last thing she wanted even though her parents were insisting on it.

He was a wealthy business man from Austria... A BORING ONE for that matter. No passion what so ever.

"Passion." Rachel hove a sigh, that is what she wanted from a guy! No That it was she demanded from her future husband.

***

She had been grounded and for no understandable reason. Okay she had again forgot the confession and had started a minor fight with the other girls and well maybe it was kind of her fault that Sister Rosie's veil was ruined. So big deal! Well apparently it was a big deal. Other wise she wouldn't be locked up in the tower room.

She had gotten used to it though and this time she had been prepared and had smuggled some of her favorite books secretly in to the tower and hidden them under the wooden bed. These books where of course in the forbidden books list which the leading nun Florence (a nun from hell more likely) had given her.

"Man was born free, but everywhere he is in chains." Monica laughed ironically when she read the famous line of Rousseau. The word of the big Revolution of France had spread this side of Atlantic as well...

Once she had been caught reading one of these books and had to go to confession right away. Afterwards she was locked in to the tower for three hours with no food or water.

Sometimes she imagined some hansom prince coming from the sunset riding a white horse. The prince would climb up to the tower and rescue her and they'd live happily ever after. But who was she kidding. Happily ever after only happened in fairy tales and this was real life.

She didn't even know how it felt to be truly happy. All her life she had felt trapped, like the small town she was living in was a prison that captured her. She would never have guts to leave. Something was stopping her. Maybe it was the familiarity of the place but more likely it was Ross. She didn't want to leave him behind. She'd miss him too much. But sometimes the urge to leave almost got the best of her. Although Monica didn't want to become a nun it seemed like it was her only option. She would never experience passion let alone love. She just had to accept that.

"Rachel Karen Green! Come here darling, would you?" Mrs. Green yelled frustrated. "He will be here any minute and who knows, maybe he has something he wants to ask you?"

Rach rolled her eyes up in her room after hearing her mom's words.

"No more!" she decided. " NO MORE!"

She opened the window and carefully, not making any noise, climbed out. She ran to the tables, she always ran to the tables when she wanted some time to herself. It was her safe place. Someday, she wished, someone could be her safe place but not yet. She wanted to be footloose and fancy free. She wanted to explore the world, No! She wanted to conquer it! And most of all she didn't want to be stuck in this stupid little town. She wanted to rebel and more than anything else she wanted an adventure.

She opened the creaking door and quietly tossed inside. Then she walked to the box of her own beloved horse, Columbus.

"Hi Col, sweetie. How are you?" she whispered and kissed his soft muzzle. He neighed as a response, but someone else replied as well.

"I'm fine thank you, hon. And you?" Joshua grinned and stepped out of Columbus' box totally startling Rachel.

"Gosh, Joshua. Don't you sneak on me like that. You almost caused me a heart attack... What are you doing in Columbus box anyway?" she asked suspiciously.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help myself..." he laughed and shrugged his shoulders while doing that.

Joshua was one of Rachel's riding teacher's and they had become very friendly. Although Josh was nice and very hansom he wasn't the one for her... She wanted a guy full of passion...

"So what's troubling your sweet little heart now?" he interrupted her thoughts and smiled sweetly.

"How did you know?" She asked surpricedly and sat down on the hay.

"This is your safe place remember... Always when you come in here you do it for a reason. I bet this is no exception."

"Ok, you got me! It's that Boopenhaben guy (--- lol, try to say that without laughing) again!He is so boooooring."

"Maybe you just have to give him a chance... He can't be that bad!" he laughed.

"You should have seen him... He was actually talking to me about different kind of tea tables and how Austrian tea tables are so much better that American ones... He is a guy for god sakes... What kind of a guy talks about tea tables..."

Josh tried hard not to but he couldn't help but burst laughing again and Rachel shot him a mean look.

"I'm serious here." she hit him playfully.

"Rachel, get your pretty butt here at this instant!" said an interrupting yell and Rach once again had to roll her eyes.

"Seems like I've been discovered...." She said and lazily got up to leave.

***

Night had come quickly. It was already quite dark. She had waited for several hours up in the tower but nobody had come. Usually they came about eleven a clock when the silence started but this time they had obviously forgotten or maybe they just didn't care anymore. It was no use running back and worth into the tower when they'd had to lock her up again tomorrow.

Monica felt alone. The silence was killing her. She would have been long gone already but she only needed the reassuarance from Ross. And tonight she finally got that ressuarance. Some how for some unexplained reason when the clock hit midnight Monica finally understood that it was time for her to leave.. Maybe it was fate or maybe just a pure coincidence that tonight was the night, not even Monica herself really knew. But she suddenly realized that Ross would understand. She heard his voice in her head saying it was okay...that it was her time to start her own journey. It was time to be free.

***

Ross was working in the garden with another hired help, Michael, when he saw Rachel walking in the park with Lorentino av von Boopenhaben.

"Look at her... Is she the most beautiful girl in the entire world or what?!" He stared at her amazing figure longingly. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. Of her beautiful eyes and her gorgeous smile... He knew it was a naive dream... a too naive to be even thinking about, but he couldn't help it. For him it would be enough to just once be the source of that smile, to once be able to make her eyes shine or even talk to her about the meaningless things. After that he could die and know that he had lived a satisfied life.

Michael rolled his eyes after seeing the dreamily expression on Ross' face. "Not you too." he shook his head.

"Me too?" Ross questioned.

"Let's just say that you're deffinately not the only hired help that has a crush on her."

"No wonder, How could someone not have a crush on her. Just one look into her piercing blue eyes and you're dead meat." Ross sat down to relax a bit and glanced towards Rachel again. Surprisingly she happened to look back and their eyes met. Quickly Rachel turned away little bit embarrased. Ross suddenly came all out of breath and all out of words.

"Just one look and you're dead meat." Michael repeated Ross' words whisperingly and continued shovelling like nothing had happened.

Nobody was up this late. Nobody who was anybody. Nobody who earned ones money honestly. Nobody but a dark figure who stood alone in the dark corner of a dangerous back street. He was smoking, a bad habit of his that he had several times sworn to quit. He in hailed the smoke like oxygen and let out a sigh. The night was silent except for the occasional barks from the neighborhood dogs.

He changed his position so that the moonlight shined right into his face revealing his hansom feature.

"You are already here?" a raw voice said behind him.

"Of course I'm here!" he answered angrily. "Are you sure you haven't been followed?" he added nervously.

"Yes sir of course..."

"Good. But lets stop the chit chat, shall we? And get down to business." The hansom man threw his cigaret away and smiled gorgeously to the not so good looking one.

"Fine by me. So, You said something about needing new men?"

"Yes. The last attack left me a little short handed."

"You were discovered?" ugly man asked nervously.

"No, my identity was left secret if that's what you mean."

"That's good. Well anyway I have few men in mind." he smiled showing his dirty and a little goofy teeth.

""Good fighters?"

"What else do you expect?"

"Well I had to ask." He said back hearing the annoyed tone from the ugly mans voice.

"Okay, the trials start in two hours." he added after a brief silence.

"That soon?!"

"Yes...and keep you voice down. We don't have time to let the grass grow under our feet. We have to move this project to a new level." The hansom man explained lighting another cigaret. After tonight he swore he'd quit. Well he would have no time to smoke after tonight. It was gonna be all business.

"So the usual place?"

"No...we moved the Trials into blue lake forest. Go to the bonfire and you'll be guided there to the final destination. We have to make sure we are not caught. It's dangerous as it is."

"Okay...I'll be there with all the men I can get in such a short notice."

"Good. But remember no women this time. Not even if that would mean you'd get some action." The man in charge required.

"No you don't have to remind me of the previous insident. I learned from my mistake." he responded quickly.

"I believe you. Just wanted to make sure were on the same page here. Women can't fight and they are just a big distraction for my men. God built women for taking care of the children and for men's entertainment.

"You got that right!" the other one agreed

"Well see you in a few hours then." he continued

"Yes..see you then."

The men separated and went to their different ways: other to the one left and the other one to the right. But what they didn't notice was a third dark figure who had been listening to everything they had said. The figure smiled and picked up the half smoked cigaret from the ground.

"So you boys think women can't fight....You'll see about that." she said with a beautiful smile.
