Lizzy was walking outside in the woods, she just had to escape from her mother. Normally she could handle her mother but today Mrs. Bennet was just too much to handle for Lizzy. Thinking about the events of this morning, Lizzy released a loud sigh.
Mrs. Bennet had heard from Mrs. Lucas that Netherfield Park was finally bought by a certain Mr. Bingley. Who was not only a rich and handsome young man but also very much single. Of course this Mr. Bingley must fall in love with her lovely daughter Jane. Mrs. Bennet had made very quickly a plan how to let this Mr. Bingly fall in love with Jane and fulfill all her wishes.
Lizzy had finally enough of her mother's match making. Last month it was an officer who should have married Kitty and now it is a very handsome bachelor who must fall in love with Jane and every time her mother would ruin everything with her shameful manners in front of strangers. If things would go on like this, she would just die an old nun or die from embarrassment.
Lizzy took a deep breath and hoped for her and for Jane´s sake that everything would go well tonight at the Ball. With this thought she made her way back home. It was almost 5 o´clock and she had to prepare herself for tonight. However after some 100 meters she felt that someone was watching her, she looked trough some trees but didn´t see anybody, so she continued her walk, however this time she walked a little faster..Now she heard some noises behind her. Lizzy became afraid because she knew that there could be some wild animals in these woods or maybe even worse... some kind of sick killer... "Oh god, I´ve definitely read too many books from Kitty" thought Lizzy. And then she heard some footsteps , Lizzy was freaking out and tried to run, but fell instantly.
She let out a loud cry.
"I´m so sorry. My friend just bought a house here and I wanted to explore the field and woods in this area. I think I must have surprised you, are you aright Ms?"
Lizzy couldn´t answer, not because she just had broken her hand, but because she was just looking in the most handsome eyes she had ever seen. Before her stood a gorgeous man with dark hair and green eyes. She was so drown in to this man that she almost forgot to answer him.
"you don´t have to apologize... I think I´ve read to many thrillers and let my imagination take a run. But I think I´ve broken my hand" Lizzy stammered.
The stranger took a serious look at her hand and took it in his hand to examine.
Lizzy couldn´t breathe anymore. As soon as this strange touched her had she felt some kind of electric feeling. It felt like hours until he released her hand.
"I don´t think it's broken, but a doctor must examine your hand as soon as possible. I would like to escort you home and call a doctor as it is my fault you actually came in this situation Ms."
"Elizabeth Bennet" Lizzy interrupted "My name is Elizabeth" Lizzy blushed.
The introductions where made between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy and Darcy wanted to escort Lizzy home. However Lizzy insisted that there was no need, because she could walk. And after some discussion with the gentleman. Mr. Darcy accepted the fact that Lizzy was in no need of an escort.
