chapter 10

Rose hugged her sister firmly. She could smell the familiar scent of lillies coming from Trisha's hair. Trisha had been her only pillar of strength all these years and she missed her terribly. She thanked the gods of Eresia for leaving her sister out of this family curse of being the Frontliners for their world. Atleast SHE could live a normal life. Rose pulled away from Trisha and sat down on a chair. Trisha smiled and sat directly opposite her sister. "Still busy I see", Trisha teased her sister but Rose could sense the worry and tension in her voice. She forced a smile on her face " You know, the usual. Tell me about yourself, what's new with you?" Trisha smiled again and her eyes twinkled for a second. Rose immediately knew she was here to share some exciting news. Trisha blushed and began " Ron asked for my hand from father a few days ago and father agreed." Rose couldn't contain her excitement and hugged her sister again. Ron and Trisha had been in love from ages. They had detailed plan of everything, from the door of their house to the family they would have. They loved each other madly. Rose was happy for her sister. She was still hugging her sister when she heard movement behind her. she immediately turned around to find Eric standing at the door, looking at her amusingly. She let go of Trisha and congratulated her again. She then introduced both of them and soon after Trisha hurried away. Eric kept looking at Rose and smiled mischievously. Rose was getting irritated and asked him " what do you want?". Eric stared at her again " I didn't know you felt emotions Rosy, I was surprised to see you like this". Rose stared daggers at Eric and spoke with command " My name is Rose, not Rosey and yes I am human if that's what you are asking."
