Chapter Thirty Four
What Was Lost, Now is Found
(Gaston POV)
"IM SICK AND TIRED OF LOOKING THROUGH THESE DAMNED WOODS! WHERE IN THE HELL COULD SHE BE?!"
I looked and looked through the woods over and over again, not seeing any sign that my 'bride-to-be' had even been in the woods
"I swear when I find her-".
I fell into yet another ditch that was hidden to me from the damnable snow and stupid twigs that got in my way. Snow covered me from head to toe once I reached the bottom.
My gun and my satchel that I had been carrying were suddenly soaked and then my anger was passed calming point.
"WHEN I FIND THAT GIRL I'LL MAKE SURE TO SHOW HER HOW MUCH TROUBLE I HAD TO GO THROUGH JUST TO GET HER HAND IN MARRIAGE. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN I'LL JUST MAKE HER MARRY ME!"
I could hear my voice echo throughout the forest. I had nothing to fear of the wolves tonight. It was a blizzard, and even they had the sense to hide. But no, I had to go and look for my lost soon-to-be-wife.
I went down the ditch and was about to pick up my gun and the rest of my pack when I noticed something.
A torn piece of cloth.
I picked it up and examined it, it was the exact color that Lofu described to me of Rose's cloak.
I looked up, only to find that the surrounding trees had claw marks on them. Some I could tell came from the wolves, but there were bigger ones, ones that looked as though they could cut through anything.
"What in the bloody hell happened here? These marks…" I trailed off as my hand followed the marks. They were big as they were deep.
As I continued to follow a trail of broken trees, more cloth trails, and even faint blood marks that stained the trees as well. By the time I came to the last tree I looked up, only to see that I had found something more that my soon-to-be-wife, but a castle. A huge one at that!
"I think I just found out where my Rose may have run off too." Smirking as I whispered to myself. Now at least I knew where Rose had run off for all those weeks.
The thought of going back and getting Lofu and some other guys crossed my mind, but I wanted to take all the glory for finding her. So I cautiously walked up to the gates of the castle. I was finally going to get my Rose.
