Blood-rose

chapter 13 - Finding Sage

We got all the information we could about Sage, Seth told us, Alaric and me, that the little girl is in Wiltshire, Swindon.

We only had to take a train from here, but the problem was, if the orphanage would let us see Sage, how are we going to see her and not cause trouble, or scare Sage, this and the fact we had to find a train that travels fast enough to make it there while is still night.

i was walking around in circles trying to figure out how to do this.

"Kathrene, we will make it there, trust me."

"and then what, do you think they will let us in the orphanage in the middle of the night? i don't think so"

"what if we had a human on our side that could let us in?" says Alaric

"and who would that be?"

"i have many friends around, so i can simply ask my friend to let us in."

"and let's not forget that we can also hypnotise who ever opens the door, to let us in." says Seth

"and what then? what do we do after we get in the orphanage, we kidnap Sage? no, we have to figure out a better plan" i start to panic

"maybe we can find another enchantress? or someone who knows about them and magic..."

i stop walking and rise my head up.

"wait, that reminds me... Kira, she told me that she knows about magic and witches, she reads a lotof books, and she told me she met a witch once, but not anymore. we can go to her, we can take Sage and bring it to Kira, she knows more then we do, do you agree?"

"yeah, let's do it." agrees Seth

I immediately went and bought 3 tickets for Swindon, the next train was coming in 11 pm. 

So we would be traveling for about 3 to 4 hours witch is great for us.

I also bought Sage a fluffy toy bear, sense i wanted to calm her down when we took her back with us, i didn't want it to look like we are kidnaping her, we just wanted to help her, she is in no good condition right now in that orphanage, so i also got some new clean clothes, hopefully they will fit.

Me, Alaric and Seth all pack up and wait at the train station.

We sit down on the bench and wait for the train to come.

"do you think she will like the toy bear i got her?"

"i'm sure she will love it, i can sense she likes toys, just like the one bunny toy she was holding when i saw her in my head"

"i hope nothing goes wrong"

"it wont." 

A few minutes passes by and we hear a train coming up, i hear the loud steam locomotive engine and how it works on the railroad.

It slowly stops while screeching on the rails.

"here we go"

"ladies first" Seth smiles

 "alright."

i put my bag strap over my head, pick up my dress and get up on the steps, slowly going inside and then waiting for Seth and Alaric to come inside too.

then we all find a seat and relax while the train starts to go again.

One hour passes while we anxiously wait to get to Swindon.

I look at my pocket watch and see it's 12:15 midnight, in my mind i count how much time we got left after we arrive.

"we have at least 4, 4 and a half hours.." i mumble out loud.
