Do You Trust Me?

 Chapter 8 

Rolic Speaks About Perlusha, Girls Reunite, and Lissie Gasps

 

"As I said before my names Rolic, I don't know my last name I never heard it. Bren isn't really my country me family came from Purlusha." he scraped away a little of the dirt that smeared his face to reveal a pale complexion then pulled his hat up a little to show a mess of blonde hair.  "We moved here come spring because me mum said she could find a job easier here than there Perlusha bein' a poor place." he began again, pulling his hat down over his hair again. "It's dressed up to look grand for rich folk as Lord Regent Fredric would have it, he's a bad un' he is keeps the poor in poverty so the rich can live comfy like. Me mum she used to work at the castle as cook she knew everyone. Your mum she came from my town so I know who you are but your mum gone missing and me mum be tossed out of the castle since and the matters been getting worse and worse but hushed up by order of his richness Fredic.

Them men wanted you so's they could get at your mum, I'd explain more but....I can't I can't becuase for you to know more would be dangerous."

I stared at him all this information was bursting my head and I still didn't know what was going on, and this boy knew who I was?!

Suddenly Rolic's who disposition changed he actually started to look noble and like he'd been through a lot then all of a sudden he asked, "Do you trust me?" 

I looked at him strangely "What?"

"Do you trust me?" he asked again.

 I hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes." actually contrary to what I just said I didn't trust him in fact I trusted him very little I really didn't believe he was as poor as he made himself to be and why was he faking being poor anyways?

The only reason I said yes was because I had to trust him, I had to believe that what he said was the truth because he was the only person who actually knew who I was and I knew he'd never tell me until he was certain I trusted him and so Rolic had to think I did.

 "Cathrine!"

I turned around and then.... "Oh dear I forgot you guys I am so sorry I forgot you were back there."

"What do you mean what was that all about....you just took off." Ariella looking accusingly at me "We've got to stick together."

"Sorry, Sorry I..."

"Who's this?" asked Lissie coming forward eying the dirty very dirty Rolic critically.

"This? This is Rolic." 

"He looks famillar?" She stepped closer and he stepped back."

"He's from Perlusha." I replied.

"Uh huh, OHHHHHHH!"

"What is it!" I jumped in, Lissie's eyes were so big they were practically popping out of her head.

"You're Rolic Li....."

Rolic began making weird gestures to her and she calmed down considerably.

"Nevermind I thought he was someone else." she shrugged her shoulders and moved on, very peculiar for miss talks a lot, very peculiar indeed?
