Chapter 11
I can not believe that I just heard that conversation. My Dad just told Joseph that he can marry me. I don’t trust Joseph, he’s a guard. I don’t even belong here. Why would Dad do this to me? Anger courses through me causing me to have enough energy to sit up. I glare at both of them while tears of anger slide down my cheeks.When Dad and Joseph both reach out to me, I recoil back against the wall. When I see the look on both of their faces, they both have the same expression. They both look as though I had stabbed them in the chest and that brings some of the anger down."Please, I only want to help you." J

Not long after he leaves, two guards come in. They shackle both of us around our ankles and tie our hands behind our back. The Priest, Zarius, walks in as soon as they finish."Well good news for you. You get to leave this dungeon.” He says with an evil gleam in his eye. “But don't celebrate too long. We are taking you to another castle.”He glances at me with mock sadness. “King Anthony has found out about our little plans and is coming to destroy us. I would leave you here for them to kill you, but I need you.”He walks over to me, grabs a strand of my hair, wrapping it around his fingers, and whispers to me, “You are too much entertainment.” Then louder, “Usually I

After about ten minutes of walking, Joseph starts to untie my ropes. He doesn’t take them off all the way, but just enough for me to be able to move my wrists. Neither, Justin or my Dad seem to notice.We stop a few times for the troops to relieve themselves and to get some drinks. At the last stop, it was decided that only Zarius' carriage could be on the road. The rest of us were split up on either side and in the woods. Dad and Justin are on the left, leaving

We walk in silence behind the troops. Every now and then, he gently rubs his hand down my arm for comfort. The gentle touch of his hands are warm and comforting. This helps me to relax and to start to trust Joseph a little more. But when his rubs become faster and a little rougher, my anxiety picks up. It doesn’t last too long because I hear a whistle call. Two tweets followed by three tweets. As soon as the final tweet sounds, Joseph tugs on my arms and pu

We travel to the fight. As we get closer, I hear the grunts of pain and exertion along with the clang of metal. Joseph has a hold of my hand and literally drags me along. I’m too weak to move. I fall just as we reach the outskirts of the fighting. I look towards Joseph and shake my head. He needs to find my Dad and I can’t move anymore.

Zarius and Robert are also not on the field. I can see them though. They are standing on the opposite side of the battle with smug looks on their faces.I want to grab his dagger and end both of their lives. I glance around at the battle one more time. Nothing is different, so I climb carefully out of the tree. I look to make sure that I’m not seen. When I find it safe, I crawl on my belly towards the soldiers and the guards lying close to me

I feel Joseph tug on my arm, but I don’t want to let go of my Dad. I don't care if I lived or died. My current self is horrified and I feel like my heart is going to explode with grief. I try to wake myself up again, but I still feel as if I’m being pinned under a heavy truck.

"Please, don’t leave. I'm real sorry. I didn't mean to yell. Winnie has been my horse since I was seven. I know that is not an excuse, but it is just one more problem. I have to kill her. I don't have any way to help her, where we are going, and she will just slowly die."I crawl over to Winnie and slowly soothe her. I see Joseph walk slowly towards her with his sword drawn. I don’t want her to see me crying, so I lay my head down on her cheek. I can feel her labored breathing, due to the pain, and I try to keep the tears from falling.Joseph is quick and smooth. I d

I don't know how long we had been in the cave before what my next memory shows me. It continues like I’m watching a movie and all my cuts and bruises are healed. I wake up to see Joseph getting Georgie ready for a ride. I grab a piece of eucalyptus paper, a quill, and some ink. My current self is confused.How did we receive these objects? I don't get much time to figure it out because the scene continues to play. Joseph grabs it out of my hands to read it at the same time that my current self has read it. I ask him where he’s going.Joseph smiles at me softly, noticing the panic in my eyes, and walks to put my face in his hand. I sigh and allow my cheek to rest on his palm."I am going to meet with Ada
