Chapter 12

The next morning, I woke up finding myself curling against Lucien's arm. I quickly get up and push him away from me then I remember it was me who curl into his arm yesterday night because of the freezing night. He woke up and rubbing his eyes and says,"Oh, good morning Fana!" *yawn* Lucien cover is mouth as he yawn. His morning hair is so messy that's its looks like wild green bushes. Then he stood up and went outside to check out whether it was safe to go out or not.

After awhile, Lucien came back and asked me,"Are you ready to go back?" I nod in agreement and then I replied "Yes lets go now. The faster the better. Is the wolfs gone?" "Yes, it was all clear. I actually shoot them all death." Lucien smile as he try to help me to stand up. Then he bend down and offer his back for me to ride back, "Here I will carry you back." I get into his back and he carry me gently on his back.

When we were walking back to the cottage, I saw that the wolfs body is still there with a pool of freezed blood surrounding them. I was little bit terrified and reliefs at the same time when I confirmed they were all death. We walk back in silent and I feel a bit uncomfortable with that situation. So I start to ask him questions, "Lucien, do you believe in childhood sweetheart ? " Lucien turns his head and says,"Yes I do. Why do you ask by the way? Do you have one?", he asked me back.

"Yes, I do... but I forget his name and how he looks like... all I remember is the promise that I made with him...", I replied. Lucien's expression seems to darken a bit. Then he suddenly say"You don't need to find him anymore nor think of him. From now only you are only allowed to think about me and please forget the past and move on with me because I loved you, Fana.", with a powerful voice he tell me that. He turn his head and faces me, his face are very close to me and I feel his warm breath against my cheek. His blue eyes is eagerly looking at me and I could felt that he really means what he says. I get embarrassed and buried my face on his shoulder."Don-DON'T LOOK AT ME PLEASE!! I AM EMBARRASSED!!!"

He chuckle a bit and keep on walking. Lucien suddenly stop and I raised my face to see what's wrong. I was surprised to see that theres a frozen lake in front of us. Not far from that lake I saw Lucien's cottage and I was excited to see that we are finally getting back.

"Lucien, hurry up!!! Lets get back, I want to fresh up bit after all this thing!" I says with an eager voice just like a small child who is so excited to get back. Lucien chuckle and he says,"Lettsss gooo!!" then he speeds up bit. I was having a lot of fun while riding on his back as his speeds up. I feel like a child again and I love that feeling because it makes me worry free. Both of us were having a lot of fun and we are laughing so hard when we slide down for a short distance from the cottage and we arrived at the cottage safely.
