Forbidden Love

[5] A Visit To Remember

"It's Saturday, midnight. Perfect." Lake smiled as she stared at the clock from her wall. She grabbed a bouquet of flowers and quietly headed outside where everyone was asleep at this hour. Lake looked around first, but then she saw that everything was clear. She nodded to herself and started heading through the forest. She passed through the trees and large bushes, hoping not to run into any threats. It's been years since Lake used her wooden spear, since everyone was in peace with the Bergens of course. It was just the other creatures that concerned her.

Finally, Lake arrived to her destination. She saw the flowers surrounding two graves. She smiled as she headed forward slowly. She put the flowers down and sighed. "I never get tired of this routine... even if it's been more than 10 years..."

"Lake?"

"Gah!" Lake quickly turned around and saw Seana standing there, curious with a brow raised. Lake sighed of relief, then she smiled. "Phew, it's just you."

"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you, princess." The turquoise troll chuckled at the nickname she gave the chocolate-lover. Lake blushed lightly, but then she rolled her bright emerald eyes. "Anyways, why are you here?"

"I saw you head through the forest. Who won't be curious about that?" She replied, snickering. The blue troll pursed her lips, then she scratched the back of her head. "Hehe, well..."

"Oh, I see..." Seana looked behind Lake's back and saw the two graves. She looked at Lake and gave her a warm smile that wasn't really too wide. Lake just stayed quiet, preferring to keep her mouth closed for now.

"Hey, I'm sure, sir Jake and miss Lily miss you right now." Seana told her sincerely. But suddenly, Lake felt a spark that gave the chocolate lover a moment of realization. Lake looked up at the turquoise troll. "Wait... how did you know their names?"

"What are you talking about?" Seana replied, confused for a moment when Lake started inching toward her. "I never mentioned their names to you... and their names aren't on the grave..."

"Lucky guess...?" Seana shrugged her shoulders, but that's when Lake was already starting to tick. Her fists clenched as she continued inching towards her, while Seana was walking backwards. Lake bursted in anger. "Tell me now! Tell me how you know their names! Now!"

"Lake!"

A voice yelled, along with the sound of panting and running. The two trolls glanced at the side and saw Aster running towards them. Once he arrived, he was panting, trying to catch his breath as if he was running from miles away. Luckily, he arrived and stopped Lake's previous fit. "What is it, Aster?"

"It's your cousin." Aster said before he collapsed onto the ground. He held up a royal invitation and Lake grabbed it before carefully opening it up and reading it. Seana was actually relieved, but Lake was focused on both subjects.

"Raven? I haven't seen him for a long time..." Lake sighed and set the invitation aside. The name echoed in Seana's ears, and she blinked. "Raven? Isn't he-?"

But Lake glared at her and quickly walked away. Seana felt a bit offended, then Aster looked up at the turquoise troll. "What's with Lake?"

"It's nothing." And right there, Seana walked away too, without another word or question. Aster sighed and stayed on the ground for a while, he really tired. "Um... guys? Help?"

"She must know something... No one knows my parents' names, well, except Branch and Aster. But still, I've only known her for a few days. I can trust her now. I have my eye on her..."
