Jemma walked with Jasper as he pulled her; she trusted him, he always protected her and made her feel safe. Seeing the deep red color rising from the prick on her finger made her stomach feel strange, it was a feeling she hadn't felt before, Jemma was queasy. When they made it to the maid standing at the top of the white marble stairs leading up to the porch, the maid quickly turned from tending to the potted plants to see them coming and bowed respectfully to the young master and mistress of the household. This young maid was shorter than the average woman but slender with long brown hair tied up in a bun and matching chocolate brown eyes. She wore the customary maidservant’s outfit which covered and fit her nicely. At once she saw the blood on the hand that Jasper held out to her. “Oh my, what’s happened, young master?” The maid was surprised because the children were not to be left unsupervised, so where was the one on duty to be watching them? “Right this way, I shall tend to the wound this instant” Before the maid could lead them inside a man seeming in his late twenties walked out to them. 

He seemed a little less surprised then the maid had that Jemma was bleeding, she had a tendency to get herself into trouble, even if it was just a small wound. “Ah, there you two are, I’ve been searching all over the castle for you, don‘t worry Evalynn I‘ll take care of this” The man spoke to the maid without looking at her. This was Rune, guardian to the twins who was around when the nannies or maids weren’t watching them. Once an esteemed knight in King Mitus’s army, he was chosen by the King himself to protect the Prince and Princess with his life. Rune did not mind, he cared for the twins as if they were blood related to him, while still maintaining the respect aspect of their relationship. Rune knelt down before the six year olds and removed a role of bandages from the satchel at his belt. “How’d this happen, Princess?” He asked while gingerly taking her hand from Jasper’s and starting to wrap her finger. “I was just playing with Jasper… we were looking at the flowers when I went to show him the red one with the thorns I got cut” The princess told him while gripping Jasper’s hand with her free hand. It was a small pain, but pain was not something she was used too, at all. “It’s alright Princess, it’s all wrapped now so the bleeding should stop, try to relax, remember your curse” The words came out so casually, remember your curse. No one flinched at the mention of a curse, it was normal talk to them, they all had to be wary of Jemma’s curse. It was just something she was born with, an uncontrollable power over storms which was reigned by her emotions. Therefore everyone in the castle did their best to keep her calm and happy, and keep her curse a secret. Rune stood and looked at them both in turn, “I’m sorry you two, I have failed you as your guardian, I let Princess Jemma get hurt… Prince Jasper, can you forgive me?”
