OCs 2 - the Sequel

Meeting Vincent

Little Hope didn't speak to her 'siblings' much. All she could think about was the family she left behind... How she failed her duty... How she probably disappointed her mother. She had nightmares every night, even up to this day, about that day. She tried again and again when she was alone in her room at night, but still nothing... Why?

One day, her guardians took her with them over to Wendy and Edward's castle. Around her age was mischevious, fun loving little Prince Vincent. The adults left the kids to play together while they talked about kingdom matters.
"You're pretty," was the first thing Vincent blurted after the adults left.
Hope frowned. "No I'm not."
"Sure you are! You have pretty hair and eyes!" he insisted.
"Thanks..." Hope smiled slightly.
"You look sad... Want a hug?" he asked.
Hope eyed him uncertainly then nodded hesitantly. Vincent smiled and hugged her while she hugged back awkwardly. After the hug, the two ended up exploring the secret passageways together. That was the first time Hope had smiled in a long time... The two grew up as close friends, liking each other. From how well they got along, they became betrothed at 7. Then...at 13... Vincent changed.
But that's a story for another time...
Hope became the cheery person she was because Vincent put the color back in her world.
