Chapter 3-Red and White Visitor

Laina tried to find the spring, but, to her dismay, found it very hard to do so. Aghh! Where is it! It’s getting late and I smell very badly! Darn it, she thought as she walked through the big forest. She looks up to the sky and frowned. It was darkening a bit and looked like a chance of rain may come. Grumbling, she pushed away branches and continued to look for the pool of water.
After 10 or 15 minutes of searching, she felt heat reaching her feet from the right. When she pushed away the large branch, a smile was plastered on her face. “Finally!” she said aloud. After setting the things down, she dipped her hand into the water. A warm relief spread through her body and she slumped down. I never knew Gallia had hot springs. I’ve read about them, but this is my first time seeing one, she thought as she took off her sandals. They were from Ranulf. He said that everyone in Gallia wore sandals. Well, at least, most of them do.
As she took off her clothes, her milky white arms revealed purple and blue blotches. They really do have great aim, she thought dully. Her hands and around her wrists were covered with scratches and cuts. She stretched a little and winced from the pain on the right side of her chest. There was a bruise on her breast and it was a lot of pain.
She sat on the edge of the spring and began cleaning her hair. The air smelled of lavender as she applied the hair oil. She sighed in satisfaction. After cleaning, she sunk into the water and sighed again. It was a very exhausting day and her body was aching with pain. Closing her eyes, she imagined what her family must’ve felt when they received the news. Sadness filled her heart and she felt like crying.
RUSTLE RUSTLE
Her eyes shot open and they darted from left to right. Her trained ears were listening to find the source of the rustling. Her eyes stopped and stared straight ahead. “Whose there?” she said, her voice not quivering one bit. Silence filled the air until the trespasser finally spoke. “I am,” he said, coming out from the branches. Laina’s eyes widened a bit before settling back.
With long white hair tied into a ponytail, the man’s features were very striking. He had a slender figure and a very handsome face. His eyes were crimson and dark as fresh blood. His tail was also white and long. On his ears were small dangling orbs matching his eyes. His clothes were of the noble and Laina guessed that he was the son of an important person.
“I’m very sorry…I didn’t know that someone was bathing in here. I was only on a mere stroll through the woods,” he said, looking away from Laina’s bare form under the water. Laina blushed when he turned away. “Its fine, sir,” she managed to say as she turned around to reached for her towel. “If you don’t mind me asking, who are…” she didn’t finish her sentence when she noticed that he had left. He’s pretty fast…and quiet, she thought as she began to put on her clothes.
She looked up to the dark sky and sighed as she walked to her new home. When she finished putting everything away, she fell to her bed and slept instantly. Indeed, it was an exhausting day. All there was left to do for now was prepare for another.
