The packed stuff for their father while rose asked her dad if she could go to the twins house to help them with their packing stuff, and as it was not true she got the permission from her father.
Roselle was wearing a black sundress with black heels and her hair were half tied, Her face was pale as always while she had this light flush on her cheeks due to nervousness as she lied about just going to the twins house.
After half an hour they left for the Royal palace. They walked from the same route she got lost the other day. A quick flash back went through her mind. 'rose' she recalled his voice, the thought of him leaning closer sent goosebumps all over her body
"Rose" she zoned back in when she heard Joseph call her name
"huh?"
She looked a bit zoned out still
"are you okay?" he asked being all concerned
her eyes looked confused but she nodded in yes
"yeah, i-im okay don't worry" .
said rose and increased her pace a bit.
After they reached the palace they were guided towards the apothecary by the Royal guards.
Jodeth entered First, there was a verbena (witch nurses) standing near the stretcher where her father was lying.
"He's yet not awake" said Agatha with a sympathetic expression and tapped Jo's shoulder.
Jo nodded " can you please call them in for me before leaving" she requested to her.
"Yeah sure" She smiled and left the room.
The room in this apothecary where her father was big more like normal bedroom. it had everything related to herbs and medicines that were needed.
They entered the room, Rose stepped forward while Joseph stayed at the door.
"How is he doing now, what did they say?"
she asked concerned.
"It's going to take some more time I assume" said Jodeth and gestured Joseph to come in.
They stayed there for an hour and then jodeth decided to stay some more with her father so she could talk to the other verbenas at the night shift about their health while rose excused them both as she had to return back before her father realizes she's not at the twins house.
She walked out of the apothecary and the guards were not present there anymore, it might be the time for the shift change that is why.
She started walking in order to find the exist when she walked in a small corridor at the end of the lobby she was previously walking in when she heard someone talking behind she looked back and saw some guards walking towards the apothecary, She shrugged it of and turned back when she gasped,
He was Infront of her, Mason Vaneson.
"Hello lil vamp "

"You know what Jason? you've lost it!"
he said walking pass him towards his bed.
"Why is that so? why are you opposing it I'm not able to understand that!"
he said frowning.
"Why am I opposing it? are you a kid it what? don't you understand? he's the wife of your brother!"
Ryle was fuming in anger at this point
"The brother who does not have anything to do with her! he does not want her in his life! don't you see she's not okay she's already exhausted with all of it!"
Ryle was guilty about the fact that it was the worst decision he has ever taken about his son and that is why he did not say anything further.
Jason stormed out of the room and in anger.
while After half an hour Ryle send a message for Nick to come back to castle.
______________________
She was in a bottle green silk nightgown, her collar bones were could be seen, She was walking on the lakeside, her feet were covered in a bit mud she was not standing on the marble floor of the royal palace rather she was half about or almost in the lake or lakeside.
She sat down on the third stair that was walk down stair and built to step down in the lake.
he nightgown was wet till her knees. The fair skin of her feet could be seen in the water and on the 4th stair her feet was actually placed on.
She took a deep breath, And looked at her arm, it was almost half hour he left.
There was a burn mark near her wrist, The wild rose she remembered he just left in her room.
The wild rose was one of those specific things that was suppose to inflict pain and burn vampires.
A few moments back when Nick was abusing his own wife and threatening her he proceeded to burn her wrist with the whole rose. A rose she never thought she'd receive from her husband the who was suppose to love her.
Though vampires heal by themselves, the burn mark left by wild roses take more time than usual to heal.
A tear slipped down all the way from her eye to her cheek and then the lake water.
Jason was walking past when he saw her sitting near the lake , her hair falling on her back, long light Brown and 'untied'.
He walked towards her and sat next to her,
She looked towards her right though she already sensed his presence when he was walking towards her.
Her face had a questioning look, he didn't mind and continue watching the lake water, the moon's light was reflecting it and the scenery was indeed beautiful.
He then looked down at her arm that she immediately proceed to hide and failed.
"what happened to your wrist?" he asked
His voice sounded so deep she took a deep breath in and exhaled.
"Nothing" she said and attempted to stand up when he held her other hand to make her sit back.
She gave him a questioning look with a hint of anger
While his face had no sign of panic or confusion, he was calm his eyes were calm.
"Stay"....
