Royal slave: chapter 12
Edward's POV
I was working outside in the gardin on request of the mistress. It was a bit chilly outside, but the weather would warm up quickly. But i wasn't at all cold. The hard work here in the gardin had warmed me up pretty quickly. I wiped some sweat of off my forehead and continued my work.
But i was prevented from doing my work in the gardin when i heard someone calling for me. "edward! you have to help me!"I heard the familiar voice of my lover say and i looked behind me to face her. "what's wrong?" I asked in concern and turned fully to her. "it's james! i can't find him anywhere!" She said and hugged me. "where did you last see him?" I asked and returned the hug. "last time i saw him he was playing with with that new young slave." She said and whimpered. I pulled away from her hug and walked away to search for the young slave.
I didn't have to search for long as i saw him near some bushes. He seemed to be searching for something. "hey, boy, do you know where james is?" I asked and stopped next to him. "we were playing tag and it was my turn to tag him and i tried to find him, but i couldn't. i searched everywhere." The small boy said and whimpered. It seemed like he had been searching for james for quite a while now. I walked away and continued to search for him along with with the small boy and eleon.
It was getting dark out. We were all worried. We looked everywhere to try and find him, but we found nothing. Not even something belonging to him. We were really worried by now. How hard was finding a small 8-years-old boy?
I sighed and walked back to the mansion. I really had no idea where he had gone to. Could he have gone out in the woods? I had told him so many times that it was forbidden to enter. Especially at night. It was to dangerous and dark. Not to mention that it was a really deep and vast one to. It was easy to get lost in there. It wouldn't be the first time that someone went into the forest only to not come back anymore. "have you found him?" Eleon asked as i approached her and the mansion. The mistress was standing next to her. I looked down and shook my head sadly. "i think that he has gone into the woods." I said and went from facing the ground to facing the woods. "but, do you really think he would disobey us like that?" Eleon asked. "he's a child. children tend to disobey once in a while. even if it's just for a little game like tag." The mistress said. "that's true, but he knows that these woods are dangerous." Eleon claimed. "he might know that, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't go out into them. i have to try and search for him there." I said and gave eleon a quick hug before walking towards the woods in the hopes of finding my missing son and finding out the reason of his disobedience.
