A/N Thank you to everyone who favorited, followed and especially those who reviewed and in answer to your question Nomadd I am planning to pair Serena with one of the musketeers but im not sure who yet...but im thinking Aramis, but im not 100% sure yet so if anyone has someone in mind they want me to pair Serena with please say :) Also i will try and make my updates longer but forgive me if some are still short.
Serena saw Rosella approach and waved to get her attention, her younger sister spotted her standing away from the crowds and rushed over to meet her.
Serena smiled, "Did you have a nice day?" She asked.
"It was great! I spoke to some really nice people and bought some new fabrics an-"
Serena cut her younger sister off in anger, "Rosella what did i say? I said dont talk to anyone and don't buy anything! You could have been arrested and i would never have known!"
"You cannot expect me to go into a market and not buy anything." Rosella argued. "I cannot live me life with locked lips, Serena. Im sixteen years old, I can look after myself."
"Rosella im trying to protect you and this is the only way I know how!" Serena insisted, cautious that raised voices would attract a crowd.
"Protect me from what?!" Rosella questioned, with blue eyes wide with tears as she waited for her sister's reply. "We have been running and hiding from nothing for all of my life, tell me why?" She cried out loudly, turning heads in the street.
"Rosella, please calm down." Serena pleaded, taking her hands and trying to guide her away from the open street.
"No!" Rosella shook off her grip and glared at her. "Serena tell me, tell me why you flinch every time you hear a shout? Tell me why you jump at your own shadow?" Rosella almost screamed at her older sister. Hot tears fell from her eyes and rolled fast down her cheeks.
Serena could tell this sudden and angry outburst had been coming for a long time, years in fact, but she still wasn't ready for it just yet. How could she explain that they weren't abandoned, that their parents had been murdered and that their killers may still be after them? Rose would have questioned and argued against everything she said, she may have even blamed her. Rose just wouldn't understand.
"Say something!" Rosella screamed.
"Enough!" Serena demanded. "Rosella, you know what kind of background we come from and that sort of life is incredibly dangerous." She said, now trying to reason with her. "We are gypsies and foreigners we dont belong anywhere that is why we move around so much. Really Rosella I thought you understood."
Rosella stood watching her older sister, with no reply. She realized her outburst was childish and now stood sobbing. "Im sorry Serena, I-I.."
she mumbled through breaths.
Serena pulled her younger sister into a hug . "Shh.. It's okay."
Amaris looked down at his stew, while the others ate he was trying to remember the gypsy that ran into him this morning. She wasn't French that was for sure but he couldn't pin down her accent to one place. At first he was sure it was Spanish but her pronunciation of some words was unlike anything he had heard before.
"Amaris, are you alright?" D'artagnan asked, noticing his bowl was still full and he hadn't spoken a word since they got back.
Athos and Porthos looked up and waited for his answer, it was very unusual for Amaris to be this quiet even with a hangover.
Amaris looked up and smiled ay his friends concerned faces. "Im just thinking."
"Ohhh now that's dangerous." Porthos grinned, the others chuckled.
"That woman that run into me.." Amaris began
"The pretty one?" Porthos gave a quick side smile to Athos and D'artagnan.
"The gypsy." Athos stated coldly.
"The pretty gypsy, yes." Amaris answered. "Her accent it was.. well that's the problem I dont know, at first i thought she was Spanish but then the more she spoke, her pronunciation could be traced all over the place. I just thought it was very strange."
"She had a nice voice though." Porthos added with a nod of agreement from Amaris and D'artagnan
"We should keep an eye on her, she could be a spy from Spain." Athos said
"Athos she is a gypsy, they will not work for anyone its against their code ." Porthos pointed out, he remembered speaking to a family of gypsies once in the court of miracles, they told him about their life and traditions, they worked for themselves and went wherever they wanted. Gypsy souls cant be tied down.
"They will do anything for the right amount of gold." Athos muttered.
