CHAPTER 2

Fine's POV

When Rein catched up, she tried to reach my foot but this creature noticed my sister and fly higher and faster.

"FINE! NOOOOO! FINE!" my sister screamed as she gets tired from running.

"REIN! DON'T WORRY!" I screamed back to her. Maybe, this is the time for me to be independent. Don't worry, Rein. I'll get myself out from this trouble. I promise!

This monster flies towards the top of the mountain where a dark and weird castle is located. As soon as we enter the castle, it loosens its grip and handed me to the goblins, which are the ones who throw me into the dungeon.

Rein's POV

As I started to climbed down from the tree, my foot slipped and I started to fall. I waited to feel the pain but when I opened my eyes I saw a golden haired guy is carrying me. I couldn't help but to blush as our face is so near.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked as he put me down gently.

"Ye-yes, thank you for saving me mister?"

"Bright. My name is Bright."

"Hm, thank you Mister Bright."

"*chuckle* Just call me Bright. And you are?"

"Oh, I'm Rein."

"Nice to meet you, Lady Rein." He said as he gently grabs my right hand and kissed it. I felt my cheeks are heating up.

"Ahh, just call me Rein. Hmm, by the way, how did you get here?"

"Well, I followed where the voices are coming from and I think I heard two? So, are you with someone?"

"Actually, I was with my sister, Fine. I took a nap for a minutes but when I wake up *sniff* a flying creature has my sister and take her away from me." I said as I wipe my tears away.

"Hmm, so, are you planning to rescue her?"

"Ye-yes! She's the only sister I have. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. So, I have to go. Thanks again!" I smiled at him and started to walk towards the mountain.

"W-wait! It's dangerous for a girl to wander alone in the forest. So, I'm coming with you."

"Thank you, but I'm okay!"

"It's alright. I insist. I'll help you find your sister. "

"Hmmm, o-okay! So, let's go?"

"Ahh, I have a horse. Do you want to ride it with me?"

"Hmm, is it okay with you?"

"Yeah. Just wait there. I'm just going to get it."

A couple of minutes later

"So, here we are." Bright said as he showed me his horse. So cute~

Bright lifted me so I could ride the horse and soon, he ride too at the back. He placed his arms at my both sides to reach for the handle and we started moving. Just wait for me, Fine. I'm coming.

Fine's POV

"Rein" I mumbled as I crouch down and hug my knees. I'll be okay, right Rein? All I need to do is to think for a plan.

I put my hands in my head and felt something. I grab it and found a bobby pin. Aha! I could pick the lock of the gate with this. Thanks Rein, for putting it to my hair. Now, all I need to do is to wait for the timing.

I tried to sing a lullaby to make the goblin, which is guarding the gate, sleepy. A few minutes later, I heard it snoring like a pig. I pick the lock gently to avoid waking it up. Fortunately, it works. I tip toed away from the goblin and started running. I hid myself in the dark every time a goblin or a weird creature is going in my way. Well, so far so good as they didn't notice my presence. As I successfully got out from the castle, I quickly hid myself from the bushes. I rested there for a bit while looking at the sky.

"It is almost sun down. I must hurry or else I won't escape alive." I whispered to myself with a hint of panic. While looking for a route to escape, one of those flying monster saw me. I quickly ran before it could catch me.

"Oh Rein, what should I do now?" I thought as I'm searching for a way to escape. Luckily, I saw a big hole in the wall. Yosh! I quickly went there and get across through it before those flying creeps could get me.

I never stop running as my fear to get caught again keeps me going. My fear grows as I saw only darkness and just the moon light is guiding my way. My tears are dripping while calling my sister's name in my head.

I ran and ran and tripped to a branch of a tree which made me stop.

*inhale* *exhale*

"Rein, please help me. It's too scary in here." I said as I close my eyes and crouch down. I stayed like this and started to sing the song Rein always sings to me.

*crack*

"W-who's t-there!?" I said as my voice is trembling in fear. A figure showed up in front of me. I got scared which made me crawl backward.

"P-please don't kill me! Please don't kill me! Uwaaaaaah!" I cried as I started to panic.

"H-hey, I'm not going to hurt you. So, will you stop crying? You're hurting my ears." He said.

"E-eh? *sniff* You're not going to *sniff* kill me? Or eat me?" I asked as I stop myself from crying.

"Why should I? Am I a cannibal for you?"

"W-well, I don't know yet since its dark."

"Argh, this idiot." he said as he stepped where the moon light shines. The light reveals a boy wearing a half mask which covering his eyes up to the tip of his nose. A band is also covering his hair.

"Now, do you believe me?" He asked as he started to walk away from me.

"Ye-yeah." But he still sure is creepy.

"Hmmm, hey! Can I come with you?" I asked which made him stop and look at me.

"Why should I let you?"

"W-well, I'm lost! A-and it's creepy in here."

"Then wait there until morning." He said as he walks again

"B-but, I'm scared!"

"I don't care." Argh, this guy is such a meany. But even though he's like that, I still followed him since I don't want to be alone again. Minutes later, he stopped walking and turns around to face me.

"Hey you, stop following me okay?"

"B-but!"

"No buts! Go find your way home."

"But I don't know how to.." I said as a tear drops from my eyes.

"You what?! How did you get here when you don't even know your way back?"

"You don't understand! Uwaaah! I was just with my sister but *sniff* this ugly monster brought me to a castle above that mountain!(pointing to the mountain)*sniff* A-and I just happened to escape there.. uwaaaah!"

"Argh.. Okay, okay. I'll let you stay with me so stop bawling, will you?"

"Uwaaaah! I was so scared! I thought I will be eaten alive.."

"*sigh*Here." the guy handed me a cloth to wipe my tears.

"*sniff* Thanks *sniff*"

As I wipe my tears, he started to pat my back to comfort me. So, he's really a nice guy on the inside huh? Hiding it with his cold attitude.

"Hm, what did those monsters want from you?"

"Dunno. Eat me, I guess."

"Well, I think there is something else than that."

"Huh?"

"I think there is someone who's controlling them and that one has something to do with you."

"Huh? I don't know someone who needs something from me. And I don't know someone who is living in that creepy castle."

"*sigh* Well, it is just my opinion. Now, let's just stay here until the sun rises." He said as he put his things down.

"Okay. Hmm, my name is Fine, by the way, and you are?

"Shade."

"Oh, nice to meet you, Shade." I said as I smiled at him.

"Yeah. Whatever. Just go get some sleep. We'll be leaving here first thing in the morning." He said as he handed me a blanket.

"Thank you." I said as I closed my eyes. He really is a nice person. Even though I have my coats on, he still gives me his blanket. Oh well, better get some sleep. Hey Rein, I did it! I escaped from that stupid castle. We could see each other again. Just, wait for me..

Sooooo.. how was it? Is it okay? Please review! Thank You!
