[Bonus chapter] Going To The Festival

(From Blue's Perspective)

Two days after that happened, we were able to go to the festival. We wore capes so no one would recognize us. 

The festival was bigger than I expected. There were a lot of people there. I hated crowds. It was suffocating. Perhaps that was why I had a headache not long after we went there. 

"Are you enjoying yourself, Blue?" Mother asked.

"Yes, yes... it's fun," I said quickly so she would not suspect that I felt like my head would burst. 

"That's good. Let's go look in the clothing store," Mother said excitedly. "I am not intending to buy anything. It's just good to look around."

"Alright," I smiled. If Mother was enjoying herself, then perhaps I should try to enjoy as well. 

If I did not know she was Demetrius's mother, perhaps I would not believe that she was. She looked very young, kind of like his elder sister. It was truly surprising and amazing.
