Vesta ran and ran she always obeyed her parents suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks her sister was not next to her anymore and all she could here was screaming. "I'm sorry" she whispered as she turned and continued to run she didn't want to get caught she didn't want to be touched by those that just invaded her home. Dropping to her knees she curled up in the dirt holding her bear close as she listened to the screams of her family. She wanted to go back and help she wanted to save them but what could she really do? After a while the screams and laughter stopped and there was nothing but silences and a fire to prove that the Saxon's where there. Her home, her dresses...her family all taken away from her in one deadly night.
The girl didn't know what to do or where to go, her parents never told her what to do if this happened she fall asleep crying. The sun was shinning high in the sky when Vesta awoke with a start, getting up she ran back to her home to find it still on fire... "Mommy...Daddy.." she screamed but no answer. "What do I do?" she asked as tears fell down her face. Dropping her bear she turned and ran thinking that if she went into town someone could help her put the fire out in hopes that her family was alright. Vesta didn't stop until she reached the city. "Please someone help!" she screamed in Latin she know English but she was scared and nervous so she went back to her nature language.
Everyone on the streets looked at her but none stopped to help the little girl. "Please" she begged as she dropped to her knees she was weak with fear didn't know anyone in the city but didn't know what else to do. "My Family was attacked last night...." she got out before she passed out.

Post by Princess Aurelia Augustus on Oct 2, 2010 13:25:41 GMT -5
Aurelia had been pacing around her quarters, alone, thinking about her meeting with Hector. She had only just arrived, and he was having to leave, at her request. Well more so, Arthur’s request. Aurelia didn’t want to send Hector away, but Livia, her sister, had chosen to remain with Arthur, and Aurelia wanted her sister to be protected. She loved her sister dearly, and if it was meant she would be protected, she could deal with it. Anyways, it wasn’t like Hector would be gone forever, he would return, eventually, or so she hoped. Lifting a hand, Aurelia gently massaged her aching neck muscles, before turning her head as she heard a knock at her door.
Giving a soft sigh, Aurelia ordered them to enter, and took a seat on the bed, listening to the messenger. A little girl had been found in the streets, claiming that her family had been attacked, before she had passed out. Some of the soldiers had brought her up to the palace, and allowed some of the doctors to tend to her. Luckily though, someone had recognized the little girl, and told the soldier’s where her family lived. Aurelia’s soldiers were on there way to check everything out, and the doctor’s had asked to see Aurelia. Nodding, Aurelia watched as the messenger left, before giving a glance around her quarters, before walking outside.
Aurelia gave a curt nod of acknowledgement to the officials in the hallways, as she briskly walked down the corridor. Stopping outside of the door, she gave a soft sigh, before entering, closing it behind her. Aurelia’s heart sunk as she saw the little girl, laying across the bed. How could someone do something like that to someone so innocent. Saxon’s could, and Aurelia was pretty sure they were to blame. Once the doctor had given her some information, Aurelia dismissed him, but allowed the nurse to remain in the room. Giving a soft sigh, Aurelia sat on the edge of the bed, giving the little girl’s hand a gentle squeeze. ”The poor child..”
Notes: outfit.

Vesta felt someone picking but she was to tired to fight back to get away with any luck she would end up somewhere safe. The bed was warm and the people she could hear seemed nice doctors she thought drifting back into a state of sleep she let her mind drift away from her. Dreaming of the summer days at the farm when the crops were growing and the whole family was working hard so that they could go in the city and sell what they harvested she loved helping her family.
A small smile crossed her lips in her sleep as the happy memories continued to play in her head. Vesta started to struggle in the bed twisting and turning as the nightmares started, they rod up on their big horses breaking into the house. "Mama!" she screamed as one of the nurses took her hand to help her relax. Whispering that she is okay and safe now relaxing again she drifted back to sleep. Her home, clothes and live was all gone all she had left was a locket around her neck and a teddy bear that she got when she was born.
Feeling the hand squeeze around her's she jumped "Mommy! You aliv....." she stopped as she looked at the woman in shock. Vesta knew this woman but from where then it hit her this pretty lady in front of her holding her hand was the Princess of Rome. weakly she tried to get up so she can bow. "My Lady" she whispered. Her parents also taught her to respectful. Looking around she was hoping her family was here too but she was alone, "My family? It wasn't a dream was it?"
