It was morning as Arron stood on Letta's side of their bed. He thought to himself as he watched her sleep, "Perhaps it is best to keep her hidden. Emella is dangerous, I could never forgive myself if anything happened to her." He leaned down and gently kissed her temple, he noticed her brow felt fevered to his touch. He reluctantly left and set out to find Claudia.
************
"Hello brother! Beautiful day for a holiday.," Claudia smiled a sarcastic smile in front of the Governors wives.
Aaron returned the same smile, "Dearest sister, a moments word please?"
"Of course.. Ladies please excuse me."
Aaron led her around the corner as his two guards stood watch, "Change of tactics I do not want Letta to come out of hiding. I believe she is ill."
Claudia straightened her posture, "Really.. What ever is the matter..?"
"She felt slightly feverish this morning ,she is exhausted, she never eats.."
Claudia patted her brothers shoulder, "Aaron, I'm quite sure she is fine, but I will tend to the ladies as she stays hidden. I will let Cecile keep her company."
Aaron gently kissed his sisters hand and took his leave. Claudia bit her lip with worry as she hoped nothing interrupted Letta's safety.

"Here Letta! Catch!" Cecile giggled as she threw the ball towards her.
Letta grunted as she caught it, "Can't we play chess.. I do not feel well.."
"Chess again? I always beat you.." Cecile smiled as she caught the ball.
Letta chuckled a sincere laugh, "You are absolutely correct."

Demetrio's POV
Sir Aaron lead the governors and their wives around their massive house for a tour of the grounds. His eyes cut to an outdoor entrance that was covered with a red thick velvet drape as he passed by.
As Demetrio passed by the same entrance, he paused as he heard a ghostly familiar laugh. He turned to the drape as though he was in a trance. His breath shook as he eased it back. He gasped in shock as he spotted Letta sitting on a stone ledge talking to a young girl. His mouth went dry as he took another step.
Cecile did a double take as she spotted the intruder and pointed , "Guards!"
Two guards were standing at the entry way with their backs turned, they crossed their spears across the entrance as they stood in attack mode. Letta turned her big questionable eyes to the entrance and frowned. She could hear Demetrio screaming as he tried to push past the guards while Cecile lead her down a stone staircase.
"Letta!! Letta!! Let me pass you fools!!! Letta!!"
Aaron quickly ran to the back of the group to see what had happened, the Head Administrator followed, "What is the meaning of this?"
Demetrio heaved with anger as he turned to Aaron and the Head Administrator, "Letta! He has my Letta!"
Emella glared coldly at her husband as he spoke.
