Chapter Two

well just read to find out ^^

The old wooden door creaked open and slammed shut, all the girls jumped up and went to go greet their father who had just returned from his trip to Laymith to sell some fruits. Lilly and Scarlet hugged their father closely saying, "Hello Father how was your trip?"

 

Their father hugged them back and said, "It went rather well but I am so very tired I would like to see Rose in my bed room for I must speak with her alone."

 

The father let go of his daughters and went up the wood stairs hearing the creaks they made as he stepped on them, Lilly and Scarlet looked back at each other curious of what their father wanted with Rose. Rose looked down hiding her face from her sisters and followed her father silently, when Rose stepped in the bed room her father was sitting on his bed with his elbows on his knees and his head on his hands. Rose closed the door slowly and went to go sit by her father and hugged him also, she whispered against her father asking, "Father what is wrong?"

 

The father cried, "Rose I am so sorry I went through the dark forest to get back home and to go to Laymith and when I started to come home I saw the mansion's garden for I knew you always wanted to see what a rose looked like. I went into the garden and I saw a side that exposed winter flowers and another side that exposed summer, I saw a bush full of roses and so I plucked one from the bush. But then I saw a dark and gloomy figure behind me and there it was the dark wolf his fur is as black as night and he was on all fours, I couldn't believe my eyes when I tried to run he soon pounced on me bearing his large fangs in my old eyes. He growls at me saying why do you take my beautiful roses have you no respect have you come to look at the monstrous beast huh?!. I begged for mercy but the wolf said to me, If you take this rose the cost must be a life, but I told the wolf that I have daughters and they would be heart broken if I don't return to them. He said then you must bring your youngest daughter for now you will feel the pain of lose. I'm so sorry Rose for now I'm afraid that you will die by the hands of that wolf and I must give you up today by sun down!"

 

The father cried and cried on his daughters shoulder and he gripped her clothes but Rose said, "Hush father it is okay I'm am very happy that you gave me up for this wolf. I'd rather have my life taken then yours now come the sun is about to set come now my father."

 

Rose got up from her fathers bed and helped her father up also the father and daughter walked out the door and the father helped Rose up on the horse they called Philip. The father jumped on the horse and led the horse down to the forest, but what the family didn't know is that they were being followed and when they went into the dark forest Rose was terrified of the bats and the animals that she saw staring at her. None of the animals moved but she could hear the whispers that went around the forest, her father gulped back his sobs and Philip started to act up. The father tried to control the horse but in surprise Philip thrust his body backward and Rose was thrown off the horse while her father and Philip ran through the forest. Rose is wearing a black coat that had a hood and she put up her hood walking through the forest crying silently trying to find the castle that her father mentioned. She could see the animals looking at her, the lions with their yellow eyes, the bats with their wings, and the wolves with their fangs and eyes. Rose became frantic and started to run through the forest but soon she crashed into a strong and muscular body, when she looked up it was Haymitch that she slammed into.

 

Haymitch starred at Rose and smiled saying, "Now dear Rose what are you doing in this retched forest?"

 

Rose sniffled, "I came to find a castle that I will live in with a man"

 

Haymitch frowned and grabbed Rose by her arm, "Now Rose you know you are a beautiful woman and I am a handsome man, you will come with me Rose and you will be my wife or else I will leave you here to die in this forest."

 

Rose struggled in Haymitch's grip and screamed, "Let me go. Release me, don't touch me!"

 

Haymitch moved his hands on Rose's small shoulders and one hand went to her throat, he started to shake Rose violently smiling at her screams of pain. Then suddenly the lions started to roar, while the bats squealed in fury but the  most amazing thing is that the wolves howled loudly to the moonless sky for the moon was covered by the clouds. The animals let their cries echo through the skies and but Haymitch kept shaking Rose by her throat and her shoulders, he dropped her on the forest floor not caring about the pain she was in. Soon Haymitch started to hear the sound of growling wolves and then he saw them about 12 wolves surrounding him bearing their fangs and their fur bristled tail raised high along with their ears. The wolves surrounded him snarling loudly then a loud roar came from deep in the forest but a howl was at the edge of the roar and when Haymitch turned there it was. 

 

The wolf stood on all fours and it looked at Haymitch with its yellow gleaming eyes it bore its white fangs and soon when the moon came out Haymitch could see all of the wolves details. Its paws enormous with claws sticking out of them while it had horns on its head his head looking human like but it still had wolf the tail having spikes running up the bone. The wolf stood wearing ripped and scratched pants and wearing a long black cape that blew with the sound of the cries that the animals are making. The lions roaring in pleasure, the bats chirping happily while the wolves whined content that the master of the forest has come to them. The wolf walked up to Haymitch and soon he grabbed him by his shirt lifting him off the ground so he stared at his eyes, the wolf growled, "Get out now, and if you come by this forest again I will kill you the most terrible way. And if you come by this woman again you will no longer have to worry about anything anymore for you will be in a prison cell being tortured for the rest of you life. Now leave!"

 

Haymitch shivered and whimpered in the wolf's paw and he nodded his head, the wolf didn't let Haymitch go so easily. The wolf bit Haymitch's shoulder bitting deep as a reminder that if he did return he would feel more then that. The wolf dropped Haymitch and just as he did Haymitch sprang for a run and he went through the forest finding his way back to his village holding his shoulder in pain. Meanwhile the wolf dropped back down on all fours looking at Rose who has passed out ever since Haymitch dropped her on the floor, the wolves walked forward to their master. A male maroon wolf said, "Master Licos what should we do with the woman?"

 

Licos looked at the maroon wolf then he slipped under Rose lifting her on his back, "Brandon tell the pack and the servants to cook up a dinner and to set a room up for the girl, we're going to have company for a while." 

 

The wolf walked away slowly with Rose resting her head on his neck and her hands gripping the fur on his sides, two wolves walked next to Licos just incase the child fell. The others ran toward the castle preparing the orders that their master made.
