Wisteria's POV
"Mother, when can we go outside of this forest?" I asked my mother while she was sewing her old dress.
"Not now darling, but mother will find a way to get us out of here" Mother said and gave me a reassuring smile.
My mother is so pretty, Emma said I looked like her. Long nose, pink lips, pearly white skin and most of all Golden eyes. But she hides them. Mother has blue hair, but I have violet ones and Emma said it was from my father. She slipped and told me that to never mention it to my mother or else she's in trouble.
I once thought, who is my father, does he know I am here?
"Sweetheart?" The sweet voice of my mother called me. I turned to her smiling
"Why were you at daze Sweety?" Her voice is so loving, I want to stay by her side forever.
"I was just thinking how we looked alike except for the hair" I answered her truthfully.
"Oh really?" Mother said and chuckled.
But my curiosity was still there.
"Yes, but mother...Who is my father? Why are we here?Where is he?" I asked, but Mother looked like she was hesitating to tell me.
"Well sweetheart he is somewhere out there, it's better if you don't know" Mother said with a terrifying aura. And I noticed she was pale.
"Mother, why are you so pale? Are you hurt?" I curiously asked her then went for a closer look. But mother pushed me gently.
"Mother is not hurt darling, it's just I feel a little under the weather today." She answered and smiled.
"Miss Rosetta, Miss Wisteria...lunch is ready" Emma announced.
"Yehey!" I cheered
"Let's eat my little hungry dwarf" Mother said and carried me towards the table where Emma is already seated in.
"Wow! Sweet potato!" I said as my eyes twinkled. It's been a month since I haven't eaten sweet potato, it the most delicious food I ever had.
"Oh my...Here you can have my half Miss Wisteria" Emma said then chuckled and gave me half of hers.
"Thank you Emma!" I said overjoyed. But Emma lost her half.
"But Emma, that won't be enough for you" I said worriedly.
"Haha...no, you can have it Miss. You are after all a growing little kid." She said and started eating her food.
After a few minutes I finished my food and jumped out of my chair. I went near mother and showed showed her my pleading eyes.
"Mother can I go out and play outside...pleaseee" I asked her then she giggled.
"Sure sweetie but please, just play near the house okay?" She answered.
"Okay mother bye" I said and ran outside with my doll Rosie, my mother made this for me as my 3rd birthday gift.
I played hopscotch, emma taught me this and it was fun. Until I heard a ruslte.
I saw the leaves in from of me move, and a little cute bunny appeared. I approached it but it ran away, so I followed it until it went deep into the forest.I looked around, where am I?
*Thump*
Ouchh...that hurts.I quickly stood up patted my dress clean.I looked up to see the person who I collided with. He has bright red hair that was beautiful.
"Are you okay?" A voice, that is different from the two voices I her which is Emma and Mother. This is my first time hearing a voice of a boy!And my first time seeing one too.
"Yes, but are you really a boy?" I asked
"Is that even a question?" He asked me back with a weird look on his face.
"Isn't it not?" I answered.
"Look kid, what are you doing here?This is basically off limits area especially the family of the owner." He asked. Eh? I have been living here for uh..1,2,3,4,5.... 5 years now and we weren't in trouble.'Dont tell anyone we are here okay? If ever you see someone' a voice of mother echoed. Need to counter attack his words.
"Then what are you doing here?" I asked innocently.
"Well forget about that, have you seen a bunny anywhere here?" He asked...a bunny? I saw one before.
"Was it color Grey, this big?" I asked and gestured how big it was.
"Yes, that bunny" he said with a hint of happiness in his face though he hid it afterwards.
"I was following it but I suddenly bumped into you, now I lost it" I explained.
"Then can you help me look for it? It's a precious pet of the owner's daughter." He said.
"Sure! Let's go!" I cheerfully said and followed a little path looking around while the boy followed and did the same. I wonder what this boy's name is...
"I'm Wisty! How about you? What's your name?" I introduced myself and asked his name.
"Uhm..call me Luca" he said and continued to look for the bunny.
*Rustle* *Rustle*
Where's the rustling from?I turned to the back and saw the bunny appear.
"Luca! There's the bunny" I announced but the bunny ran away rather hopped away.
"It's hopping away let's chase it!!!" Luca said immediately and ran chasing the bunny and I followed. Then Luca finally manage to catch it but he slipped not noticing the mud and since I was following him I told slipped and fell to the mud flat. I quickly stood up and carefully walked out of the mud and turned to Luca who was now sitting on the ground hugging the bunny.
"Are you okay Luca?" I asked worriedly.
Then he nodded and smiled. And I smiled too.
"I finally found itttt!!" He cheered and hugged the bunny. He stood up and escaped the mud. Now both of us are dirty and covered in mud.
"Here, wipe your face off. It's full of mud" he said and gave me a white handkerchief.
"Thank you Luca" I said and smiled then took the hanky and wiped my mud covered face.
"PRINCE LUKEEEEE!!!" I headed a yell, oh another person!!!
"I need to go now! Bye Wisty!Thank you!" He said and waved goodbye then ren. I looked at his retreating figure. And it dawned on me, I don't know where I was.
I saw a river and suddenly remembered that there was a river beside our small house. I followed the river and saw a brown building covered with leaves and vines. It's our house I am back!! I quickly ran towards it and barged in to see Emma with a worried expression and is about to cry.
"Miss Wisty! Where have you been?!" She worriedly asked and tears fell down.
"I was chasing a bunny" I explained.
But tears were still falling from her eyes.
"Miss Rose, she's... she's in bed and she is ill!" Then she bursted out.
