Telmar Tower

Chapter 2

First Try

Well after thinking for a moment King Peter thought of the first idea.

Do you have a rope or anything up there? He asked me.

Let me see. I answered him.

I turned and looked about my room. I saw sitting on a self an old carpet that used to carpet the tower stairs, they had changed it because holes where wearing in it and it was very dirty. I grabbed it and held on to one end and threw the other end out the window. Peter grabbed it and began to climb up.

Then I heard a guard coming up the stairs! I dropped the rug and turned to see the guard Bronco come thought the door. Oh grand I hate Bronco the most of all the guards. (Not that I like any of them.) Bronco was the lead one the day I was kidnapped and had given the command for them to take me. He sat a tray down on a chair.

Here is your dinner. He growled.

Thank you. I said it quite sarcastically and with a slight glare.

After he left I ran to the window. Peter was down there and he looked ok.

King Peter are you ok?

I am fine my Lady but why did you drop the carpet? Oh and please just call me Peter.

I told him what just happened.

Ok now we need a new way to get you down.

We both say and thought for a while. After a moment Peter started walking back and forth quickly muttering to himself.

Tell me what time are there very few guards? He said

Well, dinner time I guess. I called down to him.

When is dinner?

They normally eat an hour or so after they bring me my food.

Good, good, where do they eat?

In the basement, I have heard them talk about it before. And one guards the door to my room and one guards the main door to the tower.

Wonderful! I can fight the door guard then run up to your room fight the other guard and set you free!

Yes! They shall ring a bell at dinnertime so you will know when they are eating.

We both sat and waited for what seemed to be forever. Then we heard the ring of the diner bell.

Well, I must go now. He said and then he walked around the said of the tower.
