chapter 1 - Rosalind and Vincent

A girl about 10 exited the largest manor house in Mill fields. Some of the local noble children saw her.

"She's living in that manor?" A boy asked

"Seems so." A younger boy nodded

"Well, we should warn her!" A girl led the small group over. " Good afternoon." She smiled , the girl looked at them. For a 10 year old she was tall, she had blue eyes and black hair.

"Good afternoon..?" She said

"I'm Lillian, these are my friends." The girl smiled "Are we right in thinking that you live in that big manor?"

"Yes..." The girl nodded

"Well, we felt it to be our duty to warn you, that manor is owned by the scariest man in Albion. When he returns he will kill all living there." Lillian said, the girl began laughing."What's so funny?"

"I doubt my family will be killed." She smiled

"Why?" Lillian growled , the girl opened her mouth to reply.

"Rosalind Indigo Reaver!" The girl flinched, a woman with bright blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes called from the manor gate.

"That..." A boy stammered

"Yes mom?" Rosalind sighed

"It's time to get ready. Can you get your brother?" The woman headed back into the manor.

"Vincent!" Rosalind called, a boy by the lake joined her, He was the same age, his hair hair was like pure gold, his were a lighter gold. They could tell he had a strong build, but he seemed a little...off. "We have to get ready." He nodded, not looking at the other children. Rosalind and Vincent went back to the manor.

"That woman...their mother..could it be.." the oldest boy gasped

"Hawk? why would she be here. she's training heroes remember." Lillian sighed "anyway, I'm going to the king's ball tonight, I have to get ready too."

"We should get ready too." the other agreed and rushed to their homes to get ready.

"There, you look stunning." Hawk smiled, tying her son's cravat

"Do I have to speak?" Vincent asked, his voice was soft, almost fearful.

"Not unless you want too." Hawk told him. "Your brother and cousin can't wait to see you again." Vincent smiled

"Me neither! Logan and I are going to have a chess match." Vincent said

"That will be fun."Hawk straightened his suite. "right, can you wait in the study with your sister? We are behind already, I still need to get ready."

"Okay Mother!" Vincent went to the study, Rosalind was already sitting there in a gold dress. Her arms folded across her chest and her face showed her displeasure of the fact she had to wear a gown.

Hawk was putting on a dress identical to the one she wore during the mascarde ball, in which she was chained to a came in, wearing a white suite lined with gold silk. On his breast pocket, in gold thread, was the hero symbol for skill - like on his wedding ring. Their outfits were a matching pair.

"Are you okay?" He asked

"Yes..Can you help with the back?" Hawk turned, Reaver tied up the back. "thank you." she smiled. Reaver got her hero seal, which now had a special hip , Hawk could take it off and put it on at will. The gold metal band was tightened around her waist, Reaver placed the seal in place.

"Perfect." He kissed his wife.

"You have said that about everything I wear. By sweet Avo's name, you even say it when I have no garments on whatsoever." Hawk smiled

"Well, you a perfect in every way, so what ever you wear is perfect too." Reaver smirked

"Ah, I know where this is going to lead Reaver, We are running late. We need to go." Hawk moved around Reaver, a playful smile upon her lips nonetheless. "I'm sure there will plenty of time when we get home." Reaver couldn't argue with that, taking his wife's arm, he called of Rosalind and Vincent. his mind already planning the events of later that night.

Darrian and Logan stood at the top of the stairs, watching guests enter.

"They are late.." Logan muttered

"I'm guessing they were delayed. Don't worry." Darrian patted his shoulder. A maid ran over.

"Your majesties, Lady Hawk and Lord Reaver are here. They came through the back to avoid being noticed." she whispered

"Right, thank you." The maid bowed and left. "Lets go and meet them." Darrian and Logan headed down to the library, where Hawk and her family were waiting

"Mother!" Logan smiled, he hugged Hawk.

"Logan, you look well. As do you Darrian. It's good to see you're taking care of yourselves." Hawk said.

"Brother Logan, Can we have the chess match like you promised?" Vincent asked

"Of course, after the party though." Logan smiled, he looked at his mother "Have you told them?"

"Not yet, we thought it would be a nice surprise to hear it from you." Hawk shook her head

"Told us what?" Rosalind asked, frowning

"You're having a sleep over tonight." Darrian smiled

"Yes!" Rosalind and vincent cheered, another maid came room nowhere and whispered something to Darrian.

"What's wrong?" Reaver asked

"Nothing, but all the guests are here." Darrian said. They headed to the ball room, Darrian and Logan stood before a ruby curtain that hid two throne. Hawk held on to Reaver's arm. The twins, however, stood by their favorite parent, so to speak. Rosalind was a daddies girl, she held Reaver's hand. she looked weakily and helpless, but Rosalind was the strongest of the twins. She didn't looked bothered at the fact she was about a large crowd. She got that from her dad. Vincent on the other hand, was holding Hawk's hand, but was trying to hide behind her leg.

"so, I would like to welcome, the guests of honor." darrian spoke out loud. " Lady Hawk and Lord Reaver, and two very special guests. The curtain opened, revealing the small family. Vincent whimpered and hid behind Hawk fully.

"It's okay." Hawk smiled, giving his hand a small squeeze. He peeked out at the crowd.

"He looks so much like his mother." A woman said, the crowd nodded in agreement, there were aw's all around the room. Vincent completely froze, Hawk sighed, she let go of Reaver's arm. she gave him a look, he nodded, then Hawk led Vincent out of sight of the crowd. The children in the crowd laughed, Rosalind froze - for a completely different reason.

"That's was pathetic. How embarrassing a hero having a shy child!"One jeered

"My brother is shy, so what?!" Rosalind burst out, her hands balled into fists. It was the crowd's turn to freeze. Rosalind had a powerful oice like her father, but the will to protect others was undoubtedly from Hawk. the mothers of the children dragged them away to give them a good talking too.

"I'm sorry." Darrian sighed

"It's okay. It must have been a good source of amusant for the children that Hawk and I have a shy child...he just doesn't like big crowds." Reaver said.

Hawk took Vincent to the front hall, she sat him on the step next to her.

"Are you feeling better now?" she asked, her voice was soft and caring.

"I'm sorry..."Vincent was on the verge of tears.

"aw, sweetie." Hawk hugged him. "It's fine. I was shy once, I used to hid behind my brother and sister when I was about your age."

"Really?"Vincent sniffed

"The first time I hid behind Rose when we were talking to Lord Luncien. the second time, I hid behind Sparrow because I was being picked on in the gypsy camp." Hawk told him, Vincent looked surprised as his mother spoke.

"But you're so strong..." Vincent said in disbelief.

"I wasn't always. I am strong now due to the dangerous path of my fate." Hawk explained "My friends and Family are my source of strength. Remember, we will always be there when you need us. There's no need to be embarrassed about being shy."

"Okay!" Vincent smiled, looking a lot happier

"Lady Hawk?" Women with their children approached

"Yes?" Hawk asked confused

"After you and your son left, ours had the check to laugh at his shyness." The women bowed, shocking Hawk completely. "Please forgive them Lady Hawk!"

"It's not a decision I can make." Hawk said, she looked at Vincent. "Will you forgive them?"

"Um..." Vincent looked at the children and nodded "I forgive them."

"Thank you sire!" The mothers bowed to him, Vincent clutched his mothers arm, nervous about them.

"we should really rejoin your father and sister. Excuse us Ladies and gents." Hawk took Vincent's hand, and head back to the ballroom. As they walked, Hawk frowned to herself. something seemed different...something seemed wrong.
