Second Meeting

'Exactly how have I offended her, for her to treat me like that' he wondered as he roamed the forest at some point he got separated from them. It's been a week since he started going to the forest and he hadn't met her again since .'I don't even know the lady and now I have mad her mad' he walked through the forest angrily.

He suddenly stopped as he heard someone singing in the distance, the voice was soft yet somehow it calmed him.He began following the sound only to appear by a lake flowing into a waterfall, he listened again and there he saw a young lady, by her side laid a sleeping cub,he stood there mesmerised as he stared at the most beautiful maiden he had ever laid eyes on.

So as not to disturb her he sat down and watched her from a distance he listened as she sang her face soft and a gentle smile,she reminded him of someone he missed dearly, his mother.She stopped singing as she suddenly noticed him and she suddenly went cold.

' I believe I made myself clear not to cross my path prince what brings you by' she asked coldly as he stood up. He walked up to her, up close she looked like a goddess, her eyes were hazel it almost shone gold in the sunlight, raven black hair trailing down to her waist, fair skinned slender build but very shapely. The more he thought and saw her the more his heart raced as he got closer.

'I am sorry miss, I heard your singing and couldn't help draw closer' he replied, yet he still got cold glares from her.' I bid my leave enjoy your stay, won't disturb you' she said and stood she cuddled the sleeping cub in her arms and turned to leave.' Please wait miss' he said as she stopped and turned to him.' We just met and it seems I have offended you.I have not the slightest clue as to why so if you please , tell me how I have offended you.' he said and bowed slightly.

She stood there shaking,' you want to know fine, I will tell you.I hate you with every fiber in my being I loathe you and everyone in your family.' she said.Stefan just stared at her and to his surprise, tears fell down her face. He watched as her shoulders shook and her tears fell, feeling the ache in his heart with the strongest urge to hug her in his arms and console her.Yet he remained where he stood feet rooted firm in the ground.

'Miss,please stop crying I was wrong, I shouldn't have asked please forgive me I meant no harm' he said sincerely 'What do you know prince.Have you ever felt the loss of someone dear to you' she asked and for a moment he flinched, his eyes hounded with immense pain, he smiled sadly as though she had said something hurtful.
