Rudev and eve got to their destination. Rudev was too ecstatic to walk. She ran instead and got into the Bedeshouse.

"Hello " she smiled at a lady she met.

"Hello. you must be Princess rudev?" she asked, also smiling. Rudev smiled even more. "Yes, I've come for my dad"

The lady patted rudev and replied, "Don't worry about that..."

Rudev became confused. She glanced at eve.

 "What? Why?" rudev asked curiously.

The lady wondered why rudev looked worried. "Queen Sofia already came and took him"

The sound of that shook rudev. She was even more confused and was too shocked. She was short of words and tried using her hands to explain, but eve intervened. She pushed rudev behind and stood in front.

"Rudev's mum came here?"eve asked calming rudev down

"Yes, she took his unconscious body and left."

Rudev smiled, she was too happy to hear that her mum was alive and came before Alfred.

The next news the lady told her made rudev angry"...But your uncle Alfred came too, so I told him to go meet Sofia"

Rudev was on the verge of fainting, eve held her and said"Thank you, ma'am, but where did they pass?"

The lady pointed south"The train station"

She pulled rudev away."Did you hear that? Sir Alfred is after my mum!"Rudev exclaimed.

Eve yelled, "Snap out of it, put yourself together."

"You're right. I have to save my parents"Rudev replied.

Sofia walked carrying her husband on a wheel bed, she entered the empty train station; that's how early she was. A smell of mould flooded her nostrils the very moment she got inside. Dark and cold it was. Dead leaves on the floor and rubble. Where did the rubble come from? Her eyes slowly began to get used to the dim light. He looked around. The walls had started to scrap off, like the past of the building was sheding its skin off. 

"I knew my plan would work, "She said to herself moving the wheel bed on which Ephraim was laid.

She then heard a clap behind her that echoed. She turned only to see Alfred.

"Well Well Well. Your family is just too stubborn!" he said walking towards her.

"Sofia didn't seem scared at all. "You did have a great plan but you didn't think about me, did you?" Alfred pulled out his sword.

"I'll put an end to your miserable family, you guys never rest do you? Always spoiling my plan, whether you're there or not."

Sofia held onto the wheel bed tightly "Leave me alone" she muttered.

"Sure I will. I will let you rest in peace once I'm done with you "he wanted to strike but immediately Jab! rudev smacked him from behind.

"Not going sit and watch that happen," she said making an impressive entrance.

Alfred landed on the floor. Sofia was surprised to see rudev but not as much as Alfred.

"Rudev!"Sofia gushed. She was too happy, she rushed and hugged her. Meanwhile, Alfred struggled to get up and pick up his sword.

"This child, so you're now a fugitive. You never seem to stop surprising me" he said getting up."I'll deal with you both" he continued,

Rudev transformed her arrow of will into a sword."Glad this came in handy" She posed.

Alfred stroke first but rudev ducked, she ran and kicked his legs. He groaned but he didn't stop there Smack! he smacked her in the face.

She was too angry while Sofia watched and yelled"Careful rudev".

"You tried to kill my dad"rudev tried punching him ."...I went to jail because of you"

He kicked her sword away and pushed her to the floor"Pathetic" he muttered Rudev was bruised on the ground, and her hands trembled as she tried getting up. Sofia screamed, "Rudev!" she looked at Alfred "please stop!"

"It seems like jail hasn't thought you enough lessons. I see" he replied. He quickly pulled out his gun and shouted"time for me to put an end to his misery "He pointed the gun at Ephraim -still lying unconscious.

"I'll shoot him..." he threatened her. Rudev paused and glanced at her dad. The fear of losing him again struck her.

"No don't !"Sofia screamed.

He focused his attention on rudev and said"All you people do is evade my life, Haven't you learnt enough! I'm Alfred and I get what I want!"

Rudev gulped, she began to sweat .

"I've done it before so I'll do it again," he said. All of a sudden rudev beamed.

"I'll shoot your dad..." he said reminding her of his threat, at the same time wandering why she was smirking.

"Oh really? with what?" she asked. Alfred became confused, he looked at his hand but realised his gun wasn't there.

"At your service, my lady"eve bowed holding the gun.

Alfred was gobsmacked, "How did she..."

Rudev smiled and immediately snatched her arrow.

She pointed her arrow at Alfred in rage. Alfred started laughing hysterically."You can't kill me," he said.

Rudev became even angrier and irritated.

"Please don't "Sofia cried.

Rudev held back all her hatred 

Rudev still pointing her arrow at his head  but a voice interrupted her saying"We'll take it from here"

It was the palace knights. They surrounded him and cuffed him. Rudev fell flat on the ground, she was too tired and all this was so depressing.

Queen Sofia ran and lifted rudev ." I love you child" she pecked her. Alfred didn't even struggle, he glowered at them and was taken away.

Ephraim regained consciousness and coughed. 

Rudev heard it and ran towards him.

She removed the blanket and hugged him."Dad!" she moaned.

Eve smiled from a distance, seeing rudev happy made her happy too. Sofia joined the family's hug.

"Rudev?Sofia?" he muttered. He was too tired and rudev hugged him to a point she almost suffocated him.

He was placed in a wheelchair. Ephraim seemed happy to see his family although he couldn't show it.

"Mum, you're too smart, you literally saved dad"rudev yelled.

"I still think you and your friend here did the most work, "Sofia said looking at eve.

Rudev smiled and ran to eve"Meet eve, my best friend!" she pulled eve's hands to meet her mom. Eve felt really shy, she bowed but Sofia told her not to.

The knights brought in chariots that carried them all in." I'm so glad we'll be going home. I can't wait to see Grandma "rudev giggled.
