Pink Roses

I walked into a house of green 

My eyes slowly scanned the scene

I sighed finding not

What it was that I had sought.

But looking twice and there it was

A porcelain vase of pink roses

I smiled, my eyes blue and bright

At the gardener who was closest in sight.

She hurried hastily over to me

 And asked what it was that I wanted to see

I pointed to the pink roses tidy and neat

And she plucked the ones that were fragrant and sweet.

She  prepared for me a vintage bouquet 

And I proclaimed it better than okay

I walked out the door feeling pleasant and fine

Knowing that those pink roses were mine.

List of Cathrine Weatherbane Characters Thus Far

Main Characters

Cathrine: The main character who's annoyed with all the mysteries surrounding her companions, life, and the country she was born in. She's very kind but often times to curious for her own good which gets her into trouble multiple times.

Rolic: He's the second main character and is a mystery to everyone but Lissie who somehow knows him. Rolic tries to be funny and humorous to prevent questions he'd rather not answer, he's skilled with a sword and shield but prefers not to use them unless completely necessary.

Other Main Characters
Ariella: The dark haired, dark skinned farm girl whom Cathrine suspects of being a thief.
Ariella is outgoing and mysterious she tells very little about herself but seems interested in the stories of her fellow travelers, a great listener and adores her Arabian horse Jotsies. 

Lissie: The kidnapped daughter of a Lord in Perlusha  who knows more about Rolic than she lets on. She comes off as being a selfish rude person, but isn't really she's just very nervous and homesick.


The Villain
Fredric: The cold selfish Regent of Perlusha who assumed responsibility of the country when the King and Queen disappeared. He's a cruel man who cares for nothing other than gold and power. Rolic calls him "His Richness"

The Villains Cronies 
The Serpants: A gang of big and burly men, who do Fredric's dirty work. They keep in contact through a snake pendant close to there necks to which Fredric sends messages.

The Protectors: Seemingly the countries royal guard, protectors of the people, but in truth they're Fredrics tax men, slave collectors, and spies.

Other Characters
Anastasia: Cathrine's mother who is leaving clues so that her daughter may find her.

Amelia Gerome (Nana): The woman who raised Cathrine elderly and kind, she thinks of Cathrine as a daughter.

Aunt Prune: Cathrine's great aunt, who lives a secluded life deep in a forest in Bren. She's generous and helpful to those who get lost.

Gran-ma: A woman living in Perlusha who takes care of her second daughters children. She fears for her granddaughter and plans on taking her to her eldest daughter, Cathrine's mom.

Rainy: A little girl who lives with "Gran-ma" her mother was taken away when she was a baby and now her brother, The Protectors want to take her away as well but she knows they won't because Gran-ma is taking her to her aunt.

Puddles: Currently we know very little about this boy. He was taken away from his little sister and Gran-ma to who knows where. He's Rainy's brother, Gran-ma's grandson, Anastasia's nephew, and Cathrine's cousin.

Cathrine Likes Pomegranates

Chapter 11

Town on the border of Bren

We'd  traveled for a day before we reached the final town on the Border of Bren once we passed it we'd be in Perlusha and than on to Misty Glade. The town of Greenlay was dotted with stalls of fruit, fine clothes, richly woven rugs, tapestries, and many other fine things, my eyes were darting from one thing to the next, this was by far the nicest town in all of Bren, Rolic leaned near me and whispered, "A large clash this is to Perlusha except where the rich are housed Bren is a far pleasanter country to live in."

I couldn't believe what he was saying surely Perlusha was not as bad as he was making it out to be.

Lissie frowned at Rolic. "No it's not Perlusha is a far nicer place then this and you should know because you're......nevermind." There it was again what were those two hiding they obviously knew each other but how?

Rolic rolled his eyes and walked over to the farthest stall. "What are you doing!" I yelled over to Rolic. "We need to stick together and we don't have time to go shopping."

"Just a second you won't regret this."  He handed the merchant a few gold pieces the man eagerly accepted them and gave Rolic a large bag; Rolic picked it up and headed back over to me. "These are pomegranates. Try one I assure you, you won't be disappointed."

I raised my eyebrows. "where'd you get that money." Rolic blushed.

"It was the money the men who took you gave me...all of it."

I frowned at him.

"Just try it." he said tossing one to me.  "The pomegranate didn't kidnap you did it?"

I shrugged. "Yeah well..."

"Just try it."

I gave him a look, Ariella handed me one of her daggers I cut a chunk and and cautiously took popped a juice covered seed into my mouth, it was delicious so delicious actually that I continued to snack on it as we began to move on.

"Told you so." I rolled my eyes.


 Well we took our time in the town enjoying the sights all excited that we were so close to Perlusha, when suddenly Ariella gasped and trotted Jotsies away into a dark corner, dismounted, and rushed away leading her horse behind her.

Suspicious?

I looked ahead and saw what had made her so nervous. It was the Guard of Bren and they were asking about Ariella.

Sincerely
Sarah 

Meanwhile in Perlusha

Chapter 10

Fredric and the people of Perlusha

a big man entered the castle throne room and kneeled to the tall figure in black who was seated there.

 

"My Lord  Regent, we were unable to apprehend  her." the man mumbled shakily.

Fredric bore his blazing eyes angrily into his servant. "I see, you were unable to capture one little girl and bring her to me. I must say I'm disappointed in you, you shall receive your punishment directly. Now go." the man was dragged away fear etched in his eyes. 

"You!" Fredric yelled towards one of his attendants. "Fetch me Zane I need someone more trained to handle this...shall we say delicate matter." he grinned evilly and the attendant scampered quickly away. 

 

We leave Fredric making plans for the apprehension of one Cathrine and her mother Anastasia.

 

Now we move to another part of Perlusha a poorer unprotected, dirty place. We enter a small broken down home where an old woman stands hunched over a crying child.

 

"Oh, please quiet up darling or the protectors with hear you and be angry."

The little girl ceased to cry and wiped the tears from her dirty face. "But, but gran-ma they took Puddles." 

Tears were now streaming into the old woman's eyes and she fought to keep them in. "I know dear, but I'm sure they won't hurt your brother." 

"But gran-ma." She whimpered. "They said they were coming back for me." 

 

The old woman held the child close and the tears dripped down her cheeks. "They won't take you heart, because we won't be here when they come back." She flung away the sorrow and prodded the child to stand. "Get your things Rainy we need to leave quickly."

Rainy looked up at her gran-ma and asked, "where are we going."

The old woman glanced at the locket around the little girls neck and answered, "To your aunt Anastacia she's in danger too but she's in hiding so it's safer with her than here." 

Rainy smiled a little bit. "Will Puddles be there?"

"No child, but we might be able to get him back soon."

She nodded and rushed off to collect her things (which wasn't a great many) 

The old woman looked up at the ceiling and closed her eyes. "Please let this work. That little girl doesn't need and more trouble."
