Chapter 8
Cold water was poured down my back as I washed off the first and grub. My hair was braided back into lots of plaits down my back and finished with a hair tie. I changed from a old dress into black pants and a tight long sleeve top that traced my curves that I never noticed. I put on a jacket that hid away the bareness of my body.
"Your so pretty." The little girl said as I sat down with her for breakfast.
"So are you." I smile.
"Is he your boyfriend?" She asked raising her eyebrows at me.
"Excuse me?" I say confused.
"Don't you know what that means?" She asks.
Before I could answer, her mother came in with two glasses of juice. "dear, Miss White has been in a castle her whole life. She does not know of the term 'boyfriend'"
"Oh." The girl whispers in pity.
"But I've got to say, that man is extremely handsome." The mother chuckled.
I look over at the huntsman, who was staring out in the open waters of the lake. I get up from my chair, thanking them for breakfast, and make my way over to where he was standing.
"Beautiful isn't it?" I say.
"This is how it should be." He says looking at me. "Your not in that silly dress anymore, what an improvement."
I try not to smile, and pull my jacket over me more.
"We can't stay here." I say. "We can't put these people in danger."
"I agree. We get going tomorrow." He says, there was a slight change to his voice. The huntsman walked off to the small house leaving me out on the edge of the lake alone once again.
For some reason I wanted to feel that feeling again back at the other village near the castle, where we fell asleep beside each other.
"Alright?" The little girls mother came up behind me making me jump.
"Did you ever fall in love?" I suddenly ask her.
I saw her smile. "Of course. But it doesn't happen in an instant, it creeps up on you and then turns your life upside down. It colours your awakening moments, and fills your dreams. You begin to walk on air and see life in brilliant new shades." She looked down and smiled. "But it also brings it with a sweet agony and the feeling that you'll break if they leave you."

"Where is she!" The queen yelled as Marcus stumbled in the room.
"We've been look for days and we nearly caught them." He said regaining balance.
"Them? What do you mean?" She raised an eyebrow, with a curious look.
"The huntsman, your majesty, ran with the princess. He figured out you lied about his sister-"
"Where did you last see them."
"They were in the snowy forest. That's when we got attack by small people." Marcus said.
"What small people?" The queen asks.
"I believe the term is dwarfs."
"We were they going?" The queen said a little louder.
"I think they went in the direction of the town on the edge of the open waters." Marcus told her confidently.
"THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING STANDING HERE? FIND THEM."
