A/N Thanks for the reviews! I'm glad you like the story! Ah well, that is how these stories seem to go, everything gets told, and then bam, there's a twist at the end! That is how my fingers seem to want to write them anyway... I am not in charge you know? Hehe, anyway, I needed to get the different time across, but trust me, that is not everything! Mwahahahahaha (evil laugh)


Cameron had shown me around the cottage, it had a few more rooms than I had expected. It even had a small library. We were now walking peacefully through the forest.

"So, you haven't told me anything about yourself, and you know basically all about me," He laughed, jumping in front of me and walking backwards so he faced me.

"There isn't much to tell," I lied. I didn't want him to know I was a Princess, I think Libertine and Gabrielle had gotten to me, I wanted to know that someone could like me, no matter what my title.

He raised his eyebrows, but let it go, "Fine, you can remain a mystery!" He smiled, "At least tell me how old you are,"

"I just turned 18, yesterday in fact,"

"Indeed, well I am almost 20, in a few months anyway, that was something you didn't know, it's quite sad living with my parents still isn't it? No choice though..." He smiled, a sad smile,

"I still live with my parents,"

"But you have a choice, I don't, if I move out I would be killed, someone would find out, about my heritage"

"It must be terrible,"

"Nothing to compare it to, lets change the subject, again, see when you won't tell me anything, we're always forced to get back to my depressing life,"

I smiled and we continued to walk in a comfortable silence. We came to a small clearing and he slumped down on the grass, I followed suit, enjoying the time to be myself.

"The more you don't say, the more I want to know you," He said, looking at me questioningly, leaning back on his arms.

"Maybe that's my plan," I said, tucking my knees up and leaning my head on them.

"Maybe it is," He said simply. Then he leaned closer to me, I thought he might kiss me he was so close, I could see now that his eyes were different shades of brown, getting darker as you looked closer into the pupils. "Maybe it is," He repeated, then he moved away, "We better get back, Da might be back by now." He stood up and helped me up, then held my hand as we walked back, he was extremely cheery, sometimes grabbing my other hand and twirling me around. It was very strange, but extremely lovely, I was so happy to be back, no matter what I had to do here.

We headed to the cottage, and I noticed that there was another horse tied up next to Pinto, and a cart was against the other side of the cottage.

"Da's back then," Cameron chuckled,

He led me into the cottage for the second time and I saw there was a tall man with brown hair, who looked similar to Cameron, sitting at the table.

"Da, I found someone in the forest, she's lost," The man looked up, smiling, but when he saw me, his face froze.

"Princess, what on earth are you doing here?"


A/N Sorry, short chapter, but I thought this was a good cliffie, and that would get you reviewing! So who is Cameron's father? Dun dun dun, have you met him before? Or is he a completely new character? Review to find out!
