The Girl And The Forest

CHAPTER - 10

Ross Azariah De Rosier's POV :

When Patreece and I got to our picnic spot, I immediately took all my things and decided to go home instead of spending the night on the grass. No need for a camping as I already had a campfire with her... But of course with Patreece!

I looked at Patreece with a stoic glare hiding my death stare onto it. I put my backpack on and had the other bag on my arm, my personal servant tried to carry my bags but I refused, I just want to carry them myself.

My parents are probably on their date still, it's almost midnight now though. I walked and walked in the path that we walked on previously on getting to the picnic site, and finally, I made it to the mansion.

The servants opened the door and I let the two of them take my bags from my body as I felt so exhausted upon climbing the stairs to go directly to my room.

I opened my bedroom door and let the two servants put my two bags on the couch. As soon as they went out and closed the door, I immediately collapsed on my bed with a smile on my face, remembering the scenes that had happened on this day; especially the event on Amelia's house.

I don't know why but I felt like I want to help Amelia, I want to help her family and I want to help her with her dreams!

I felt my eyes starting to get heavy and so I quickly went inside the bathroom to brush my teeth and clean myself, before jumping into the bed and snored off to sleep.

We're eating breakfast right now, all of us. Dad, Mom, Patreece, Percy, Lauraine and me.

"Next week is finally your birthday, Patreece!" Mom exclaimed happily, I glanced at Patreece to see his reaction but he only nodded while still looking down at his foods.

It's been about three weeks now since our picnic and so we're not allowed to go out again since then. I miss Amelia, I mean I always see her in the forest every morning but... I want to visit her, taste the foods that she will cook- well that's not really my plan, I planned on going outside today with the help of my secret small door behind the cabinet. Actually, this is the first time that I never went out of the house for the whole three weeks! And I will go out today, my plan is that I will bring foods to Amelia's house and I will cook for them, whole family. Haha I'm not a good cook but I managed to learn it with the help of some of our cooks and also mom, gosh she really thought that I am now planning on getting married as she can see the 'determination' in me wanting to cook, and she got excited by that and even volunteered to help me!

"Have you and Leona already decided about where the reception will take place? " Dad asked, while I was just eating silently being careless about where their conversation could bring them. "Yes dad, I decided to have the reception on the plain part of the forest. Leona had agreed also as she want something open and pleasurable to the eyes without putting to much decorations" I looked at Patreece astounded. In the forest really? Well that does make sense, because having Leona and her family in our town would means the destruction of the nature beings in here and so having the wedding in the mouth of the nature, which is the forest will give them some sort of deduction to their conscience when it is the time for them to destroy this mouth of nature.

If only I am the oldest, I would definitely never gonna do something like this, the thing about making any connections with the Victorines. Almost all of the people on their town are suffering because of the over used of modernity! No enough fresh water, air and food as they no longer have the sources from the one and only nature! People of their town having all the diseases that can be treated if only they planted herbal plants on their soil instead of using those soil on building modernity. We're not yet in the age of making our whole town industrialized, we're not yet in our modern age and guess what, the Victorines had already have their town destroyed and I am pretty sure that if Patreece and Leona got married, our town will surely be in the line of extreme danger. It's either be the slow downfall of our ancestral wealth, or the complete destruction of our whole town if the surname 'Victorine' got in!

Even though our parents doesn't seem to trust me, I know for myself that I can do good and that I can be someone who can lead our town into the rightness as it can be, and I know that I am better than Patreece in terms of Principle. He must have known me for being a walking heartbreaker but he doesn't know about the things that lies beneath me, beneath my heart and that is my love for all my people and the nature.

I will make sure that all of the people in our town are safe and protected from the selfish meaning of modernity from the Victorines. We will have modernity in here but I will make sure that it will come and start from us, and not from other people that came from other town.

I finished my food and made my way to my room to get the things ready as I will go out at 10 am. I looked at the wall clock and had it on the numbers 8:52 am. I took out my black huge bag and started to pack all the foods, education books, and other things that I will give to Amelia's family carefully. I also packed some toys as I remembered Amelia's younger brother, I smiled while watching it, I hope he likes it. I went over to my cabinet and took some of my clothes in case I needed some of them. I also took some dresses for Amelia and Francie, I asked my servant on buying these dresses outside our town so that I could give them to Amelia and Francie.

I closed my bag and stood up smiling, it's not that heavy though. Since it is still early, I still have about more than an hour, so I lie down on my bed, staring at the ceiling.

I already asked my servant to inform everyone to not to go to my room as I am busy with some things, pretty lie, I was just escaping though haha.

About thirty minutes of thinking some things, I decide to walk to my drawer to read some of the descriptions of that faceless girl in my dreams.

I sat down on a chair on my study table, facing the window upon flipping the pages.

Last week I only had one dream about that girl and the other dreams were all worthless. I sighed a little before reading.

She's not so tall just average but compared to me she's only the same level as my neck. She has a wavy hair, I think it has the color of blonde. She has a slim body, with a very calm and genuine voice. And she likes sunflower.

I sighed after reading it. She seems so impossible to find, my eyes can't find her face but my heart can sure find its way to her... But when will that be? I am getting worried as I can feel my heart getting numb by the feeling of being alone, I go out with many girls just to have a temporary happiness as I know that when I stepped inside the house, the loneliness will take control again. I only have myself and this book that contains the girl of my dreams, for life.

I closed the book and averted by gaze outside the window, only to be dumbfounded...

I don't know how to react as I started on thinking different things. I saw Amelia holding a small baby in her arms, the baby is covered in a white blanket. I looked at them closely not being able to blink. I almost lost my balance while holding the corner of the table when I saw Amelia smiling while picking a sunflower, the baby's hand then touching Amelia's cheeks as Amelia laughed. My heart then pounded so loud when she turned around and her wavy brown hair swayed.

She then walked away, she vanished from my sight as I am still in my standing position; not being able to move. I quickly opened my book and read her description again.

She's not so tall just average but compared to me she's only the same level as my neck. She has a wavy hair, I think it has the color of blonde. She has a slim body, with a very calm and genuine voice. And she likes sunflower.

Amelia could be...
