DPOV

We boarded the train long ago the train winded around corners and under bridges, things that didn't seem that exciting, but Rose sat on the edge of her seat staring out the window in awe.

"how long until we get there?" I smiled at her eagerness, although I'm sure I'd be like that if I were trying to find my family.

"a couple of weeks, the travel arrangements have changed and we will have to stop a few nights in few places" sadness flashed on her face, before flashing over with a large smile.

It was then that Ivan decided to burst into the small room,

"Dimitri! The travel papers have changed color!" his voice came out in panic.

"start grabbing your bags we have to move" I turned to see rose picking up her bags with puka still tucked under her arm. I quickly piled the rest of the bags into my arms before sticking my head out of the small door to see into the hall, it was quiet and empty but there was still a light buzz of talking through the walls of each cabin. Rose looked at me with worry, her eyes lit up with fear and a small piece of excitement.

"Come rose we have to move quickly" she bobbed her head up and down and quickly and swiftly followed me through each carriage. People peered through the gaps in their rooms curtains but paid no more then a mere second of attention. It felt like years before we finally reached the security of the baggage cart. We settled in the corner on top a pile of large blankets, rose was the first to dose off and I placed my large duster around her small body. I let out a small chuckle as she began to snore. I could feel ivan watching me, with the flash of a grin of his face I knew what was coming.

"Its her, I knew from the moment to laid that smile on her. If you love her so much, why don't you tell her?"

he seemed perplexed at my unwillingness to share my love and devotion to rose. She was everything that I remembered her to be, and even if she didn't remember I did and she turned out exactly the girl I thought she would.

"Because she doesn't remember, she doesn't believe she's the princess" I sighed as I made my self comfortable next to rose, yet at a safe distance.

"and when she believes? When she finds the truth.. what then dimitri? You will lose her before you ever even had her?" Ivan's protests made sense to me and yet I still couldn't find the courage in my love struck heart to tell her.

"just let it go ivan" I nodded at him with conformation and rolled on my side to sleep. It was only mere seconds before the loud bang shattered through the carriage and jerked us all to life. I was instantly up and looking over to rose, she was fine but seemed confused. I pulled the large door open to see the other carriages slowly drifting away. Someone had disconnected us. We continued to speed ahead towards the bridge in the track.

"Dimitri!" rose's voice was panicked and I scrambled to her side on the other side of the carriage. I looked out the same widow she was to see the bridge had crumbled to pieces and no longer existed.

"We have to jump, there is no choice" Ivan agreed before we began to gather our bags. I had Rose's bag under my arm and my own in my hand. I turned to Rose as she laced her fingers in mine. Puka was warmly wrapped up in her jacket. Ivan opened the side door and grabbed his bags.

"Everyone ready?" Ivan and rose both looked back at me and nodded. As we jumped I let go of the bags and twisted my body to save rose the pain of landing on the hard and cold frozen over snow. The bags and Ivan landed next to us in a thud and puka and rose popped their heads out of the large coat.

"What are we going to do now dimitri?" Ivan seemed scared, which was rare for the pride filled and upbeat man that usually shared Dimitri's company.

"We are not to far from baia, Ivan we will have a pit stop and rest there with my family for a few days before continuing to turkey" I stood and helped rose up before picking up the bags. The walk was not far but in the snow we would all get exhausted easily and the cold would not help. Our only hope is that we reach baia before sun down.
