Sophronia's POV

I carry on running looking for Connor, speeding past people looking into alleyways until I found him, pinned against a wooden carriage by two guards whilst the other one punched him in the stomach.

I run towards the scene battle axe in my hand ready to strike, Connor had escaped and already fighting the guards, I quickly run up and strike him in the head, I look to Connor to see him leaning over one of the guards pulling hi by the collar bringing the guard to his face and demanding.

"Where is Charles Lee?"

The guard struggled to speak but got out "The harbor...to catch a ferry..." Connor slowly gets up and turns to me, I smile to him and grab his hand as tears fall down my face.

"Come with me"

And that's all he said, dragging me someone seemly the pub, he walks through the door still dragging me with him. I woman I recognise from when I was younger walks up to Connor "Need something, darling?" She asks with a flirty tone.

"No"

as he drags me towards a table where it seems like a guard sat. "Rude" I turn and glare and the woman as Connor let's go of my hand to turn the chair the opposite way and sitting down, I decide to stay standing as I watch Connor.

"Can I help you?"

"You know you can"

"Pardon?" as the man says this Connor quickly grabs the man's hand bending it downwards and puts pressure on it, I've never seen Connor do this and it shock me a bit. "I do not like having my time wasted" I could tell he was getting impatient with him as he wanted to know where my father is so he could kill him.

"S-stop that. D-don't make me call the guards" He threats but Connor doesn't take any notice and puts more pressure on the man's hand.

"Make a sound and you die" Connor threats well more like a promise.

"What do you want?" He asks with a lot of pain in his voice.

"He's in the harbor. At the long pier, most likely. We heard what happened at the parade. Charles got all nervous – said he was leaving the country. I thought he was overreacting. Guess not." Connor finally lets the man go, relief obviously comes over him.

Connor gets up from his chair and with a polite tone he says "Thank you" and we both took our leads, I look across the road to my aunt's house, I'm thinking of staying there for a while I watch Connor walk away but turns around to see me walking across the roaf.

"Sophronia!"

I turn back to him to see him walking towards me, he quickly grabs my shoulder gently and asks "Where are you going?"

I sniff a bit as I reply "I can't come with you and watch my father die, I'm going to stay with my aunt for a while, meet me in the forest in two days, I will meet you there, I-I love you, Connor"

I lean up to him and peck his lips and I turn to walk to my aunt's door "I love you too" I hear as I walk into the house to meet my aunt and little cousin, I lean against the door and cry, I'm never going to see my father again.
