I seriously had this idea in the middle of the night. The entire story line inside my head already. First time that has ever happened! So updates shouldnt take too long to pump out. Anyways enjoy!

A jolt in the carriage startled the pair inside. Elenas brown eyes glanced out the glass window for a second then found the large cerulean blue orbs of her Spanish nanny staring at her. Marisol heard two taps and moved so fast it startled her frozen in her seat. Two Taps. No. It..couldnt be.

"Mamisol?" Elena tried to swallow the lump in her throat as fear began to creep up. Elena knew what she was doing but she had never, not once thought it would be necessary Watching the older lady reach under her seat she pulled out a tan peasants dress and a white apron with red flowers stitched along the bottom hem. As Marisol moved Elena pulled her dress off with numb fingers. Stuffing her pretty green silk dress into a small brown bag along with a small pouch of gold coins. Marisol pulled the tan dress over her quickly and made eye contact with Elena. Her heart hammering in her small 8 year old body.

"Elena. Darling.. you know what you have to do. You slip through the hatch..Im.." Elena stared at her face knowing it may be the last time she would see her nanny. Marisol took in a shaking breath as she pulled Elenas hair back and tied it up. "You are going to run into the woods, find the plantation we passed not too long ago. You will be safe. When I have their attention. Run. Run fast and whatever you hear dearest dont look back. Dont turn back. Dont stop."

Elena clutched the emergency bag in her hands and nodded. "I love you Mama.." Tears leaked down both of their faces. Marisol kissed her forehead and pulled a chain off her neck and placed it around Elenas neck. It was the locket of her and Marisol. Elena whimpered as she clutched at the front of her nannies dress. "I love you too baby now down you go." The hatch lifted and Elena was peeled off Marisol and pushed under the carriage. The hatch closed and she knew..that would be the last time she ever saw her nanny. Finally after a second she could glanced around spotting the horses feet at the front moving back and forth. There was cloth covering most of the bottom of the carriage to hide her from the outside. Elena could see a few of the guards legs struggling with other pairs of legs.

The carriage door opened and she could see Marisols feet touch the ground. Marisol paused and began to scream and took off running into the woods the other way. Elena covered her mouth listening to the elder women scream. Glancing away she watched other pairs of legs run off. This was it. Run.

Elena pushed out from under the carriage and began running the opposite way into the woods. As her feet carried her into the woods, she could hear Marisol screaming. This time it was different. This time it stamped into her memory. Something she would never forget. Her heart hurt as she ran. The tears leaking from her eyes were cold on her cheeks as she ran. Marisols screams were suddenly cut off and Elena stumbled and fell onto the ground. Pushing herself up she sniffed and wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her dress and picked up her pace again.

The crunch of leaves and twigs under her feet were soon all she could hear. Her hands hurt and her face hurt from bushes slapping her face. Pausing Elena glanced around in panic. Her lungs hurt, knees shaking. For a second she thought she had heard something. Her heart took off once again. Terror giving her the power to push her legs further into the woods.

Elena licked her dry lips and spotted a large tree that had a hole in the trunk large enough for her to fit in. "Thank you Lord.." Elena whispered as she moved over to it and crawled inside. The vast inside startled her. Finding she could stand she noticed a piece of bark the size of the entry way. Covering the hole with it she turned. Carvings after carvings on the inside decorated the inside. D.L.S. caught her attention above the door. She fingered the name for a second before tilting her head back. Above her head were shelves carved out of the wood. A few bags sat on the inside and a couple jars of clear liquid. She placed her bag on one of the shelves and sat down to catch her breath.

Sitting there for a long while she thought she heard foot steps. Her heart hammered in her chest as she listened to the outside world. Pulling her knees to her chest she watched the door. Foot steps were indeed what she heard. Elena covered her mouth as she listened to them walk around the tree trunk and pause before the make shift door.

Her insides were screaming in terror as the door wiggled and a pair of black pants and boots on the other side appeared. Closing her eyes she buried her face into her knees. Tears forming in her eyes immediately and terrible silent sobs wracked through her body.

After a moment of silence Elena slowly pulled her head up and found familiar cerulean blue eyes staring back at her.

I know it's a bit short but I promise we will be getting the ball rolling. This chapter was just very heart breaking to me. I cried while I wrote it.
