Chapter 10: The Small Group.

Nole comes to the small group with a small man with round frame glasses on his face, A teen girl with red long hair, a young boy that looks like he's six years old with short blond hair, and a scrawny middle age man with gray short hair. Nole looks at Lewis. "Found them, now give me my stew!"

The young boy stops the new woman sitting next to Sylvia then shyly hides behind the teen girl's purple dress. She looks down to him with her light brown eyes. "What's wrong, Demi?"

Elise and Sylvia looks over to the young boy. The queen smiles and stretch out her arms out for him. "Come here, Demi and meet a new friend." Elise watches the little blond boy slowly makes his way to Sylvia, not taking his eyes off of her. When he was in the queen's arms, she picks him up off the ground and sits him on her lap, facing him to face the new girl.

Sylvia smiles. "Demi this is Elise. She's new here. Can you say hello to her?" The little boy looks from the queen to Elise. He bites his bottom lip bashfully and mutters a "Hello."

Elise smiles to the small boy and speaks softly to him. "Hello, Demi. It's really nice to meet you." The boy gives her a small smile.

Sylvia looks at Elise and smiles. "He's a really shy boy." She then looks to the other three people. "You already met Foy." She motion to the redheaded girl. "That's Vivien. And the man with the gray hair is Miles."

Elise looks at them. "It's nice to meet all of you."

Nole sits down on the ground as he starts to dig in his bowl of stew. He then glances over to Miles. "So, why were so late anyways, Miles? Usually you be here before sunset."

Miles takes his bowl from Lewis and looks at Nole. "I was about to head here after scouting around the castle, but a guard arrived in a very bad shape."

Elise knowing that he was talking about her bodyguard, she looks to Miles. "How bad was he?"

Miles looks to her. "Well to be honest, pretty bad. But I have a feeling that the guy will live."

Elise looks to the ground and lays her head in her hands. "I knew I shouldn't have left him behind! What did Methis do to him?"

Sylvia pats Elise's back. "I'm sure he'll be okay."

Elise looks at her then glances away to show her guilt. She then hugs her legs and lays her head on her knees. "I don't like this."

The Group who could understand listen to Miles as he tell them about what has gone on in nearby villages. Elise didn't listen as she stairs to the ground "There has to be away to break this spell." She then glances to the small Mansion. "I have a feeling that the answer's in there.

About thirty minutes Elise was still staring at the mansion thinking. Everyone else was busy, eat, listening, and sharing. It's been this way with the pre-hexed since they have arrived.

Looking at the children, Sylvia smiles as they're eyes start to get heavy. She holds little Demi in her arms as she stands up. "Alright, Kids. It's time to get some sleep."

Remy rubs her eyes as she grabs ahold of the skirt of Sylvia's dress. Fleur yawns. "But we're not tired."

Sylvia smiles and chuckles. "Oh I know you three are tired. Come on now."

Remy looks up to Sylvia. "Can we have a new story tonight?"

Lewis looks over to the children. "A new one? You three practically sucked all the stories out of us."

Nole looks at Lewis. "I sure Elise could come up with something."

Elise looks glances over when she heard her name mentioned. Fleur smiles and looks at Elise. "Please tell us a story, Elise!"

She blinks and looks at the kids. "Oh, um alright. What do you want to hear?"

Remy smiles, tiredly slips her thumb out of her mouth. "Can you tell us the stowy of when the castle was uner the spell?"

Elise stands up smiles at the Memories. "Alright. I'll tell you about the spell."

Miles stands up. "Well If that's the story tonight, I'm going to listen as well."

Vivian looks up at Miles and reminds him. "But you already know what happens first hand."

Miles smiles and looks at her. "Well It'll be nice to hear it from someone else's point of view. Especially if that someone else is someone on the inside."

Elise kneels down and picks up Remy. She then Follow Sylvia to where they sleep, under a tree with a pile of blankets lay on the ground waiting to be used.
