   It was after breakfast when the old lady, Aninia, had offered to take Rosé to a part of the village.

   Rosé immediately had said ‘yes’ without a second thought.

   Rosé had changed into a short length white dress given by Aninia, the dress reached above her knees, she wore nothing underneath it except for her undergarments.

   Above to hide herself she had worn a black puffy cloak, which was very much comfortable.

   As they reached the flower fields, they saw no one was there, Aninia turned to Rosé who was jumping in excitement.

   “You can go have fun in the fields.” Aninia said, Rosé just after hearing that, slipped off the cloak and ran into the tall flower field.

   She spun around, ran, giggled, picked up flowers, threw them in the air as Aninia just watched her with stars in her eyes, happy that she made someone much younger than her and much richer than her happy.

   Kai and Jennie were walking hand in hand through the green fields, looking at the farmers’ water dripping down from the weeds, some farmers were weeding their drops or spray the crops. Jennie was smiling as Kai was anxious hoping that they wouldn't run into Rosé.

   He was thinking of the possibilities that might happen if they found Rosé; Jennie would kill her or bring her to Lisa who will torture her to death or she might be laying somewhere dead or that the guards had found her and she was being taken to her kingdom, many different scenarios like this came into the boy’s mind.

   While they were walking he was so into his thoughts that he didn’t see Jennie stop until he was yanked back by her.

   Kai stumbled onto Jennie while Jennie looked into the direction of a flower field. Kai looked up to the fields and saw a girl with pink hair, running around the field, spinning around, hearing her loud laughs.

   Kai smiled seeing the girl so happy when he realized that the pink hair belonged to Rosé. Before Jennie did anything Kai pulled her, trying to take her away from the fields.

   Jennie yanked her hand out of Kai’s grip and ran into the field and towards the girl. Kai groaned before he ran after Jennie.

   Aninia was busy with the flower picking, which was her job. She looked up at Rosé who was still playing in the field. Aninia smiled as she went back to her job.

   Rosé was just picking flowers to throw in the air when she felt a hand grab onto the hand she was picking flowers with; she was yanked back and was turned to a girl, in a dress similar to hers just in brown color.

    It took a while for Rosé to recognize the girl but when she did, she turned around and was about to run when the girl pulled her back again.

   “JENNIE!” Kai shouted as he ran to the two girls. They both turned to her before Jennie swung Rosé around, making Rosé’s back hit her stomach. Jennie took out her knife and placed it on Rosé’s neck.

   Kai stopped running as he was a few feet away from the girls. Aninia had looked up and saw a girl with a knife on Rosé’s throat and a boy standing far from them, his body going up and down as he took deep breaths.

   Aninia got up from where she sat on the ground, throwing the flowers away in a bundle as she ran to them. She called out for help, making Rosé and Jennie look at her.

   “Got to make a quick choice princess, you want to die or want to go in the hands of the guards?” Jennie asked. Rosé knew very well if they came for her, she would be taken back to the palace, and information would be squeezed out of her if they see her with Jennie with a knife on her throat, and Kai would either run away like Jennie or Kai would stay meaning he would be taken back to the kingdom too.

   One thing Rosé was glad for was what she had learned in the fighting lessons.

   Rosé took her hands back and placed them on Jennie’s waist, and pushed in her body, her fingers going in the cut Jennie had on her waist along with the cloth.

   Jennie stayed still only pushing Rosé forward and holding her against her stomach again.

   “Don’t do anything stupid.” Jennie spat out, pushing the sharp knife further against Rosé’s skin. Kai was about to run to them when Jennie shouted, “One step and I will kill her!”

   Jennie put her leg between Rosé’s, pushing her leg against Rose’s left leg. By this time the guards had reached them, surrounding them, aiming arrows at Jennie, some protecting Aninia and two, three ready to attach Jennie with their swords.

   ‘Be saved by the torture or get killed.’ Rosé thought. She gulped before she placed her hands on Jennie's shoulders, pushing them into her bone. Jennie tried pushing her away but was unsuccessful.

   Rosé braced her feet on the ground before she swung her hands over, with Jennie in her grip.

   Jennie swung over Rosé, her feet slipping out of Rosé’s legs and onto the grass, her knife falling right beside her on the ground. She hit the grassy ground with a groan, closing her eyes in pain.

   Rosé turned around in a circle, looking at how the guards and Kai carefully walked to them.

   Rosé was having a panic attack, her heart felt as if it had stopped beating, her blood turning cold, her breath getting faster, she couldn’t breathe and it felt like the world was slipping away from her feet. She turned around seeing a gap where Kai was.

   Without a single thought she ran in that direction, passing Kai and ran away in the woods.

   Kai and some guards tried to grab her as she ran past them but failed, they ran after her into the woods.

   “Rosé!” Kai shouted, calling for his cousin.

   He stopped running when he entered the woods, he looked around seeing no sign of Rosé except for the guards who rushed into the woods.

   “Jennie!”

   Kai turned around and ran in full speed towards Jennie. Jennie was now held up by some of the guards as her head fell down and her feet gave out. Kai was running to Jennie to stop the guards who were holding her.

   Kai suddenly felt a stern hand grab him and pull him back. He was met by a guard, his eyes shot open when he realized he wasn’t in any disguise.

   “Prince Kai, you're coming back with us.” The guard said. Kai was trying to pull his hand back to run to Jennie but the strong hold of the guard wouldn’t let him.

   The guard started to pull him away from the scene, Kai turned around and saw Jennie being tossed onto the back of a big brown horse.

   “JENNIE!” Kai shouted.
