"My lady, I can walk on my own"
He said hiding his embarrassed face in the darkness of the night
But, he failed to do so, she already seen his embarrassed face under the moon light.
Smiling to herself, she puts Andrew down from her arms and says.
"Okay, do as you feel like, my dear Andrew" and pats his head, Andrew blushes and hide his face once again.
Andrew was a little sad, he made a face like he had lost something really special to him and he wanted it back. He would gaze back to Isabelle and then again would focus on his walk.
The journey being very abnormally silent in an unknown place, and on top of everything, it was night time, not just night time, it was midnight, the darkness started to get scary for little Andrew.
Weird thoughts started creep inside Andrew's head
"There must be monster here, right?"
Being a little scared and curious, Andrew asked to Isabelle.
Surprised from the question, Isabelle looked down at Andrew, tilted her head a little to the side.
"Yes, there are"
Her voice being calm.
Looking around and back, she continued.
"Some are even following us"
Isabelle continued on her walk like it was nothing.
But, This got Andrew freeze on his spot and unmoving a little from his current place.
Turning around facing Andrew she called for him, making him look her way and gaining his all attention to her.
Terrified Andrew first looks behind him, he takes a light breath and comforts himself that all is right and runs to where she was.
And once again he focuses on his walk.
Suddenly a light breeze touches his shoulders, fear creeped inside him and his gaze wents towards his right shoulder and nothing,
again taking a light breath, he continues his walk, but, then a dry branch of the tree gets touched by his right shoulder making him feel like someone called for him from behind
Scared Andrew gets closer to Isabelle, looking at the tree's branches, without his knowledge he grips onto her dress.
Isabelle chuckles, seeing Andrew's reaction on a touch of the branch.
She thought to herself.
"The black cat is scared of little things"
After some more hours of walking, Andrew was losing his past speed, he would take small breaks and when he wanted to take one, he would make a excuse and tell Lady Isabelle to sit beside him, while he rests.
Feeling tried once again after all that resting, he made one more excuse.
"My lady, why don't you take a rest?"
"No, I can still walk, no need for a little rest"
Looking around himself, finding something that can help him, for a brilliant excuse, so he can rest because his legs was feeling numb now and he felt like that his knees will give up anytime.
"My lady, the night is beautiful, let's sit down and enjoy, shall we?"
Stopping her steps, she turned around facing Andrew.
"We can enjoy the environment while we walk too"
She said being reasonable.
Andrew trying his best so she can buy the excuse.
"But, we will miss the details of this wonderful environment"
He said pointing his hands around the houses in the town and the sky.
She knew that he was scared to even call this haunted town a good place to enjoy the environment.
"Andrew, are you tried?"
She decided to directly come to the point, not wasting any more time on this.
Andrew was caught off-guard, his eyes grew wide and in his quick movements, he shook his head, denying.
"No, my lady, I am all energy"
She made a okay, I understood face and started walking, leaving Andrew standing dump founded.
"Okay, fine let's walk"
Finally giving up to Isabelle, he confessed.
"No, I am tried"
This brought a wide smirk on her goddess like face, she would never get bored from Andrew's reactions.
She looked around herself and pointed her index finger at the perfect house for their stay.
"Alright, let's stay in one of the houses, what you say?"
Came his quick response to her question
"NO!!"
To his surprise, he was denying it too strongly.
His voice being all that loud.
Surprised Isabelle questioned him, she actually knew why he denied the stay in that old house in this haunted town, but still she questioned him, getting curious on what his response will be.
she asked.
"Why?"
Not making anymore excuses, he confessed.
"I am scared"
And gazed down on the ground, rubbing his hands together.
She puts her hand on his shoulders and sits down on her knees, holding Andrew gently, like he can rely on her without any doubts, he can give himself fully to her.
"I am here, don't feel scared"
"If anything happens, I will save you"
