Thames River.’
‘That is a well known tourist site, isn’t it?’
‘Yes, it is, but I’ve gotten quite use to it.’
‘Would you consider me as rude if I asked you a personal question?’
‘Shoot, love. I don’t mind at all. What do you want to know?’
Rebecca had been anticipating this moment when she daydreamed he would ask about her love status. She acted all calm and cool but inside her heart was racing quicker than a cheetah on a hunt.
‘Are you in a relationship back home?’ he asked.
‘If I did love, he would either be here by my side or I wouldn’t be. I haven’t really had luck with finding my prince charming. So, I’m as unattached as they get!’ she replied happily.
It was all too obvious that she provoked him to make his mood. Cassandra was so passionate with her work she slowly began moving further and further into the woods forgetting all the time that she was supposed to stay in view’s distance. Gregor and Rebecca had begun to let each other’s feelings for one another show through their conversation while she showed Gregor her camera explaining in great detail every part of it.
‘You are very good at this. Are you too studying photography?’ he asked.
‘No, love. I have, we all have had photography as a hobby since we were all kids. One Christmas, our parents came up with the idea that we all received the same gift from old St. Nick. Mainly so we wouldn’t suspect he didn’t exist and so that we would have a common interest when we were together other than goofy toys and game boards. That Christmas morning we all opened our presents and found our first cameras. Well, me and the girls I mean because we didn’t know Sam back then. Any way, we went outside that Christmas morning and took pictures like crazy. We developed them and made tons of albums in a very short time. That is how it all began.’ She smiled.
Gregor stared into Rebecca’s eyes signaling his wish to kiss her. As he slowly leaned towards her and just before she gave her lips willingly to him, a scream pulled them away from each other and left them in question. The group reconnected immediately, all except Cassandra who was missing. Gregor was now very tense and more worried than any of them were. They were all unsuspecting of the possible consequences.
‘You must all stay right here, exactly at this point all together. No matter what do not separate from each other! Do you all understand me?’
‘Yes, yes we understand!’
‘I’m going to find Cassandra but I don’t want any of you to be lost.’
Gregor ran into the woods following the direction he heard the scream come from. He ran deeper into the forest scanning for Cassandra. Again he heard someone not screaming this time but sobbing. He was lucky to find Cassandra where she sat crying.
‘Cassandra, are you alright, were you attacked?’
Gregor wouldn’t forgive himself had his sister been hurt just as they had been reunited. He didn’t want to lose her again. Cassandra looked up at him as he pulled her up and hugged him tightly relieved but shaking.
‘I’m sorry, I… I shouldn’t have gotten so preoccupied with the shooting; I was in the forest and didn’t even realize it!’
‘The important thing is that you are alright. You are alright aren’t you?’
‘Yes.’ Her voice was trembling.
‘What happened? Why were you screaming?’
‘Two very pale people, a man and a woman grabbed me by surprise and held me against my will. The man held my arms as the woman went for my throat. I thought they wanted to strangle me. Then something very strange happened.’
‘What was that?’
‘The woman lifted my chain in her fingers and asked me where I am from. When I told her I am from England she asked me what my name is. She had a very deep almost sad voice. I told her my name was Cassandra Williamson. Immediately
