When Steph awoke she found a warm wash cloth against her forehead and herself in a darkened room. She was in a soft firm bed with two pillows made of feathers. The room smell faintly of roses, a scent Steph despised. Roses reminded her of the death of her family. It crushed her watching as roses were piled on there graves. Not only roses but all kinds of flowers and it angered her.
She sat up in bed and the cloth fell to her lap. She swung her legs over to the side and groaned when she tried to stand. After walking what seemed like forever she wasn't surprised her legs were aching greatly and cramped. Just then the door opened and Stephanie jumped.
"Oh hello deary." said a tender yet frail voice. Stephanie saw an eldery woman carrying a bowl of water. "You gave us all a fright missy. Collapsing on the ground. We thought you died." Steph watched as she set the bowl down on the side table and took a fresh wash cloth from her apron pocket and dabbed it into the water. She went to clean of a small cut on Stephanie's neck but Steph pushed her away.
"Where am I?" she asked. "Aye Village of Seaward. A small village with only about thirty or so people." said the eldery woman. Stephanie cursed. She was still away from her home but how far? She didn't know any towns other then her own and the ones she had been to. "Um excuse me do you know where the town of Galstenbury is?" The old lady laughed and sat down in a rickedy old chair. "Why of course deary. Its the closest village to this one! Not even a half a days walk!"
Steph's eyes lit up for the first time in a long time. She stood up and instantly fell back down on the bed in pain. "Calm yourself seary before ye hurt ye self!" said the old lady. "I can't! I'm almost home! I want to go home now!" She couldn't help it but she was excited. She could go home and finally be free. "Listen deary i can't keep ye here but at least let me make ye some breakfast! Looks like ye haven't eaten in days!" The old Lady said. Steph was hungry and she couldn't resist a free snack and better to get some energy she'd still have a long way to go.
After eating a fine dinner Stephanie headed out of the town in the direction of her home. She carried with her a flask filled with water and some fruits, compliments of the old lady. She also grabbed a nice stick for walking since her legs were still a bit weak. But it was worth it.
After what seemed like forever Stephanie finally saw a small town in the distance. She dropped her walking stick and things on the ground and nearly wanted to cry. She forgot all about the things she brought and tried her best to run. "Home!" she whispered as she tried to run. As she reached it she began to cry of happiness. "HOME!" she screamed. She tripped but she didn't care. After being away so long nothing looked more beautiful.
In a house made of wood and covered with vines a young man with long brown hair tied back in a ponytail sat reading. He had the window opened and a cool summer breeze flew into the window causing him to look up. When he looked out the window he jumped up. He saw a shabby looking girl entering a house. The man ran out of his house and out to the woman who entered the house. Once he got to the house he saw the woman crouching in front of a pile of burnt books.
"HEY! YOU!" shouted the man. The girl jumped up and spun around in fear. Her heart was pounding as she looked up and saw the man. "What are ye doing here?" he asked. "This house is off limits! Who are ye?"
Stephanie stood her ground and ripped off the piece of cloth from her head and let her musty brown hair fall past her shoudlers. "I use to live here!' She said. "WHO ARE YE?" The two stared at each other but the man's mouth dropped. "It couldn't be..." he said. Stephanie watched as he moved closer.
"You can't be that little girl who use to wrestle with me?" he said. "The girl who use to live here!" Steph looked at him and squinted her eyes and then widened them. "Robert? Rob?" she gasped. "Stephanie?" he said. The two looked in shock at each other. Then the screamed in joy.
"I can't believe it's ye!" said Rob
"You've grown!" she said. "No longer that wimpy boy!"
"Look at... ye..."
"Aye... look at me... years of..."
"Ye look just like i remember!"
The two laughed and Stephanie did remember when the two use to come home filthy from wrestling around. How long it had been since she last seen him. The two then hugged tightly. Steph crying in his arms.
"My god, its been so long since i last seen ye!" Rob cried. "I've tried so hard... to get away when i was sold as a slave. I finally made it back!" she said into his chest. "You know... when you left i searched for you but i never found you. I thought... I lost you!" She smiled looking up at him and then punched him playfully.
"Not going soft on me? You maybe older, stronger, and bigger then me but I can still beat you!" she laughed. Rob placed his hands up as if they were going to fight. "Ye think?" he laughed.
After a long relaxing bath Stephanie tied her hair back in a bun and then placed on a dress Rob was able to find. It fit her nicely showing off her curvy features. "Well look how you cleaned up!" Rob said as she came into the room where he was sitting. She smiled. "Yes quite different." she responded twirling around. She stood up in front of him and he stood a few inches taller nothing like how Taker towered over her like a giant.
Rob then hugged her tightly. "It's so great to see you." he said. Steph blushed slightly as he hugged her. Her heart began to quicken and she felt weak. "I know. I've dreamed of returning here. I almost forgot how it felt like being free. I only wish my family was here." she looked down sadly at the ground but Rob only tightend his grip around her and kissed her cheek.
