Forbidden Love

Chapter 18

Elise's Pov

Picking some herbal and putting them in the basket, I look around for more "oh, what a caught" I heard someone say that, I turn around to see Louis leaning on the tree.

"What are you doing here, louis?" I said while standing up properly to look at him coming towards me slowly "Cant I go around this forest? I think you know that I owned the whole village and this forest too" he said.

I scoffed "full of yourself, you-" I act to hit him with the basket then he falls to the ground, I furrowed "I didn't hit you". I said and he laughed "I thought you were about to beat me".

I roll my eyes, tilting my head to look at him "oh yeah? Then you better run away cause im going to give you a real beat" I said then he widened his eyes, running away from here.

Laughing loudly and shaking my head as I continue to harvest herbs around then walking back to the house.

I looked up to see John, smiling and giving him the basket "I found many herbs around in the left corner back of the forest, you should go there if sometimes im not around" I said.

John looked down to see many herbs in the basket, he take it and smiled "Thank you, oh and your mother she is looking for you" John said and I nodded, walking inside the house.

"Mom?" I said, looking for her then I frowned to see no sign of her in the bed. "There you are!" I flinch, Jumping slightly as mother came out of nowhere. "Mom, you scared the soul inside of me!" I said.

Mother laughed and rubbing my arms "I'm sorry dear, im just lonely here. You always go out" she said, I chuckle and let her sit on chair "so, what do you want to say?" I asks.

She looked at me with a happy smile "I want to go around the village, not alone but with you" she said, I smiled back "you sure? It's crowded and-" she cutted me off "i don't mind, as long as your with me". Mother said.

I nodded my head "oh, can we also bring John and leyla with us?" I asks and look at her. "oh dear, no problem then call them now. I cant wait" mother said, I chuckle and nodding my head.

Knocking on leyla's door then she slowly opened it "yes, sister?" I smiled and kneel down "were going out" I said and she frowned "where to?" Leyla asks.

I smiled, thinking "well, everywhere. where do you want to go then?" I asks. "To the market and we'll buy some food!" Leyla said excitedly, I laugh and clapped my hands "then, come on!" She take my hand.

Later we all walked around the market, buying fruits and looking around, smiling as I give her the penny "what do you want to buy?" I asks leyla and she looked around, gasping and pointing at the teddy bear.

I smiled, and buy it for her, giving her the teddy bear. Leyla smiled widely and hugging it tightly "Thank you, sister!" She said and hugged my waist.

I chuckle, holding her "Elise, you said you want to do fishing right?" I nodded my head. "Then John here will teach you how to catch one" mother said.

I smile and look at John "really? Oh please we can go now!" I said excitedly then John took my hand as we walk near the river side.

Looking around as he grabbed a fishing rod and giving me another one "here, pull this one" I followed his instruction and then I feel something heavy "oh, i-i caught a fish!" I said and stand up.

"Oh! Go on and pull it" John said and watched me pulling the fishing rod, I gasp "a fish! I caught a fish!" I said and showing it to John, making the fish wiggle around and hit its tail to John's face "oh sorry" I said, adding with a laugh.

Then we walked back home, smiling widely while looking down at the basket that has 5 fishes inside in it.

"Mother, I caught a fish!" I said while walking inside with John. "Really? Show me." I show mom the 5 fishes, she smiled and pats my back "I'm proud of you, child!" She said and I let out a small giggle. "Thank you".
