A couple minutes had passed and we heard footsteps.
"Hey Eve." Cynthia spoke quietly.
"What?"
"Can we visit mother?" Cynthia asked.
I opened my eyes and looked at her.
"How come your asking of this now?"
"I miss home." Cynthia spoke.
I patted her head.
"I do too."
"I'm worried about mother." Cynthia said.
"I am too."
"What do you think will happen once Mother is gone?" Cynthia asked.
I flicked her forehead and she held it in pain.
"Ow. Eve. That hurted." Cynthia said.
"Don't make such ridiculous statements."
"But Eve what if?" Cynthia grabbed my hand and held it.
Mother won't be gone. She'll still be here in our hearts."
I placed my hand over my heart and she smiled.
But tears fell down her eyes and I wiped it.
"Why are you crying silly?"
"Don't you find our life so pitiable?" Cynthia said.
"I wouldn't think like that. Rather I say it was once a nightmare that I overcome and it has changed me into a person to who I am today. Though it was unpleasant and there were pain but those feelings are apart of who I am now."
I patted her head and she smiled.
"No matter what you are or what happened to you. You are you and that's just who you are now."
"But the scars. Don't you think they are horrible? Don't you wish to erase them and not have it on your body so no one can judge them." Cynthia asked.
"My scars may be permanently they might've been painful. But these scars are my identity they tell me my stories they speak my truths and they share my pain. They're a part of me and though it may be ugly they can be beautiful in every other aspects."
Cynthia cried.
"My scars are beautiful." She asked.
"Of course because they're apart of you and your heart is beautiful. So don't worry about these silly things. Just remember you are yourself no matter what."
After consoling Cynthia she fell asleep and so we fell asleep.
When I woke up it was already past noon.
I heard footsteps and then heard shouts.
"Lady Eve! Lady Cynthia!" A guard shouted.
I sat up and woke Cynthia up.
"It seems we've been gone for too long. Let's go." I stood up and helped Cynthia up.
"Lady Eve! Lady Cynthia!" The guards shouted.
We walked out of the fields and made it onto the path.
"We're here."
The guards turned around and saw us.
"His highness were worried for you two. Come quick." The guard spoke.
We followed him and went back to the front gates.
"Where's Zaiden and Lucas?"
"After not finding you two for an hour his highnesses went out to look for you two and had the whole guard spread out through town to search for you two." The guard spoke.
"When did they leave?" Cynthia asked.
"30 minutes ago." The guard spoke.
Cynthia and I looked at each other.
"Prepare us a horse. Inform the guards to return back quickly. We will go retrieve them."
"Understood my lady." The guard left quickly.
The horses were brought to us and we got on and headed out.
We headed through the town and decided to spilt up.
Cynthia headed right and I went left.
After looking around town we met up at the gate.
Right outside the town there was a forest.
We decided to head out and look through the forest.
Since the sun was setting it was quite dangerous outside. But Cynthia and I had weapons attached onto ourselves.
We spilt and looked through the forest.
"Zaiden! Lucas!"
"Eve!" I heard Zaiden shout.
I followed the sound and saw him at distance.
"Zaiden!"
He turned around and looked at me.
I got off my horse and he got off as well and ran towards me.
He hugged me and I was surprised but I placed my hand on his back.
"Where were you?" He asked.
"I apologize. Cynthia and I fallen asleep in the greenhouse."
"The greenhouse." Zaiden looked at me.
"We found a spot within the fields."
"I see. As long as you are fine then." He said.
"Let's head back."
We called our horses over and just before they arrived arrows were shot at us.
We dodged them. I could sense about 10 hidden assassins.
I grabbed some silver needles I hidden inside a pouch I carried and shot it towards the assassins.
Seven of them fell down but three of them dodged it.
I grabbed the daggers that were hidden on my shoes and threw one of them to Zaiden.
"Catch."
He caught the dagger and looked at me.
I could sense more footsteps approaching.
"Let's go."
We called our horses and got on it and quickly left.
We arrived to the gates where we met up with Lucas and Cynthia.
"Eve. Are you alright?" Cynthia asked.
"I'm fine. But it seems like they decided to make their moves today. We'll hold them back. You two go back and check on the family."
"Alright. Be careful." Cynthia said.
I nodded.
They both left and the guards have also come out and stood guard.
"Someone get us a sword."
"No. You stay back. I'll hold them back." Zaiden said.
"I'm fine. Right now we need to focus on them."
The guards brought us the swords and we got off our horses and the guards took them away.
I could sense about 72 assassins approaching.
"Make sure none of them gets passed the gates!" I ordered the guards and they nodded.
The assassins arrived and stood at a distance.
They charged and we defended.
Zaiden and I had each other backs. We worked quite well together.
We eliminated about 37 assassins and I could sense about only 14 assassins left.
Then I heard someone laugh.
I turned to look and I stood there frozen.
'How come he is still alive?'
My hands were trembling and I couldn't focus.
A assassins attacked me but I couldn't move. I was petrified.
Zaiden had came and killed the assassins and had grabbed me.
"Eve!" Zaiden shouted.
I suddenly heard Zaiden voice and looked at him.
I dropped my sword when I looked at them fleeing.
I fell down but Zaiden caught me.
I grabbed onto his arm and was panting heavily.
He carried me back onto his horse and I just held his shirt and hid in his chest.
We headed back to the mansion and once we arrived it was a total massacre.
It suddenly trigger my nightmare and I held onto Zaiden tightly.
"I want to go to my room."
He helped me down the horses and carried me to the door.
"Eve!" Cynthia came running to us.
"Cynthia."
I extended both my arms out to her and Zaiden put me down.
I hugged Cynthia and she patted my head.
"What happened?" She asked worriedly.
"I saw him."
"Who?" She asked.
"The one from before."
Cynthia looked at me and saw my eyes.
She grabbed my hand and pulled me to her room.
Once we arrived she closed the door and brought me to sit down on the couch and looked at me.
"Are you sure you saw him?" Cynthia asked.
"I'm sure. He still has that mark on his neck."
"But that's impossible. He was supposed to be dead." Cynthia said.
"I thought so too. But I saw him and I just stood there frozen. I'm still weak."
Tears fell down my eyes and she hugged me.
"Eve. It's alright. No matter what we'll get through it." Cynthia comforted me.
I looked at my hands.
"These hands of mine are constantly stained with blood everytime I kill someone the blood keeps spreading."
She wiped my tears.
"Eve. Remember no matter what happens you are still you." Cynthia said.
"I know. I know that. But everytime I see him I can't do anything."
"Did you see anyone else with him?" Cynthia asked.
"I don't know. I was too frightened to look at anything beside him."
Cynthia sighed but I saw her trembling.
I hugged her.
"I'm sorry. I spoke too much. Don't worry. We'll get through it together."
I hugged her and she hugged me back.
There was a knock on the door and we composed ourselves.
It was Zaiden and Lucas.
They came in and looked at us.
"What happened?" Zaiden asked.
"Nothing."
"It's not nothing if you are still trembling." Zaiden said.
I looked at my hand and they were still trembling.
"I don't wish to talk about it."
"How are you Cynthia?" Lucas asked.
"I'm fine." Cynthia said.
"But you're also trembling." Lucas said.
Cynthia looked away and we just sat there avoiding their eyes while they stood there looking at us.
"Are you girls going to tell us what happened?" Lucas asked.
"No. Will you two leave us alone?" Cynthia asked.
"Of course. But we want to help you so if you need anything just call us." Lucas said.
We nodded our heads and Lucas pulled Zaiden out of the room.
Cynthia and I stayed in her room talking about what to do if they show up again.
"What should we do if they are still alive?" Cynthia said but her voice was shaking.
"Cynthia. We have already gone through it once. We can overcome it again. Don't worry."
I held her hand.
"Eve. I'm scared. If I see him I think I might have frozen there like you did." Cynthia said.
"It might have surprised me but at least I can overcome it again."
She nodded and we spent our time together on her bed.
She fell asleep and I just laided there holding her hand.
Then there was a knock on the door.
I carefully removed my hand and went to open the door.
It was Zaiden and Lucas.
"It's time for dinner. Come down to eat." Zaiden said.
"Give me a sec."
I closed the door and went to wake Cynthia up.
"Cynthia. It's time for dinner. Let's head down."
"I don't want to go down." She said.
"Then I'll have someone bring food here. Get up."
She groaned but sat up.
I went to open the door.
"We'll eat here. You guys head down."
"Then we'll join you." Lucas said.
I looked over to Cynthia who put her arms up into a X.
I closed the door and looked over to Cynthia.
"They don't look like they'll accept a no."
She sighed and got up.
She opened the door and looked at them.
"We'll eat alone so if you don't mind please go away." She said and tried to close the door but they both stopped the door.
"Can't you let your husbands in so we can take care of you girls?" Lucas spoke.
Cynthia and I looked at each other.
I walked over and looked at them.
"Thank you for the offer. But we would like some girl time instead of husband and wife time. We can do that another time."
I pushed the door closed but they also pushed it and stopped it.
"You are quite rude to kick your husband out." Zaiden said.
"You're quite rude to come in uninvited."
"You should fulfill your duty as my wife." Zaiden said.
"The last time I checked, our contract only stated us as fake husband and wife." I said sternly.
We could see a bunch of servants walking by and looking at us.
They pushed the door open and we just stood there.
"We are still legally married whether it is fake or not." Zaiden said.
"Barging into a ladies room don't you guys have some manners." Cynthia said.
"Well sorry if we don't have any manners. But as your husbands we should take care of you. After all you two looked quite horrible before." Lucas spoke.
"Annoying." Cynthia said.
"Bastard."
We walked in and sat on the couch and they just grinned.
"Wipe that grin off your face before we change my mind."
We both glared at them and they composed themselves and sat down.
The food was brought in and put on the table.
We ate silently but Cynthia whisphered into my ear.
"Let's take a walk after this." She whisphered.
I nodded and the other two just looked at us.
"How are you two feeling?" Lucas asked.
"We were fine until you two came." Cynthia spoke sarcastically.
"Well would you two like to tell us what happened then?" Lucas asked.
"No." Cynthia said.
"Don't hide it. Your eyes are red." Zaiden said.
I stopped eating and looked at him.
"It's none of your guys business. We can handle it ourselves."
"We are your husband so it is our business to take care of you." Lucas said.
"If you are our husband then you would respect our privacy."
"Not if you are trembling and look like you are scared." Zaiden said.
I set my utensils down.
"I'm not hungry anymore."
"Me too. Let's go." Cynthia said.
We both headed out quickly.
We took a walk around the garden but they followed behind closely while maintaining some distance.
"Those two are so annoying. Don't they have work they need to do?" Cynthia said quietly.
"Would you two stop following us?!"
"No." Zaiden said.
"Don't you two have work to do?!" Cynthia asked.
"We can do them another time." Lucas said.
We looked at each other and decided to run.
But they kept up with us so we decided to speed up more faster and hid within the dark.
They ran past us and we stayed there silently for a few minutes before we stood up and walked to where the lake was.
We walked on the dock and took our shoes off and sat down to put our feet into the water.
Cynthia laid her head on my shoulder and held my hand.
Play music here.
A/n: Dream it Possible -Nightcore
Zaiden POV
When we were playing hide and seek. Eve was always the last person to be found.
She was truly amazing at hiding.
During the 4th game Eve and Cynthia were the last one.
We were looking for them but a hour had passed and we started to think something might have happened.
"Let's head out and look for them." Lucas said.
I nodded.
We got on our horses and headed out to town. We spilt up and searched the whole town but couldn't find them.
We decided to go out of the gates and look around in the forest.
My heart was panicking.
'Where are you Eve?'
Suddenly I heard her voice.
"Zaiden! Lucas!" Eve shouted.
"Eve!"
I tried following it.
"Zaiden!" I heard her and turned around and saw her.
She got off her horse and I got off mine and started running towards her.
I hugged her as I felt my heart being relieved.
"Where were you?"
"I apologize. Cynthia and I fallen asleep in the greenhouse." She said.
"The greenhouse." I looked at her.
"We found a spot within the fields." She said.
"I see. As long as you are fine then."
"Let's head back." She said.
I nodded and we called our horses but then there were assassins.
Eve had shot at them killing almost all of the assassins. I was quite surprised.
She tossed me a dagger and we killed off the remaining assassins and then quickly headed back.
We met up with Lucas and Cynthia. They headed back home while we held the others back.
But I refused to let her fight with the injury but she insisted.
We were quite compatible. We worked well with each other.
But then she froze. I looked at her and she was trembling.
I ran to her and killed the assassins that was about to attack her and then I grabbed her and looked at her.
Her eyes were blank.
"Eve!"
She looked at me and then dropped her sword.
She fell down but I caught her.
She grabbed onto my arm tightly and she was panting heavily.
I carried her back onto my horse and she held onto my shirt and hid her face against my chest.
We headed back to the mansion and then Eve held me tightly.
"I want to go to my room." Her voice shaked.
I helped her down the horses and then carried her to the door.
"Eve!" Cynthia came running to us.
"Cynthia." Eve spoke and she extended both her arms out to Cynthia. I put her down.
She hugged Cynthia and Cynthia patted her head.
"What happened?" Cynthia asked worriedly.
"I saw him." Eve said.
"Who?" Cynthia asked.
"The one from before." Eve said.
They both left and I just watched them leave.
'Who did she see?'
