He Fished Her Out
: Chapter 1
o
Autumn sighed as she picked up her brush. It was still morning and she had just finished cleaning herself up. One of the little things she had to do in her daily schedule. But like everyday she almost did nothing at all. And today wasn't going to change it; it would be just another boring day. Though she is the princess, she didn't do the work of one. She only positioned herself where she was supposed to be placed. No… She didn't even do that. She had to be told. She was like a puppet that did nothing and was rarely ever played with, but was moved from place to place to avoid accumulating dust.A bore…
That's what she lived…
She brushed her long dark green hair. It ended just bellow her tail bone or butt. Too dark of a green color that it looked black. In fact only the people she was close to knew that she was a green-haired seventeen-year-old girl.
She placed her brush back down on the table and noticed a familiar piece of paper. She felt her stomach tighten and followed by pain that felt as if she hadn't eaten for days.
That was it… She turned to the door—the barrier that separated her from her space for sleep and cleansing to the same scenes she saw everyday. She sighed; she couldn't stay in her room forever.
As she stepped out she looked at the same painting that greeted her every time she exited her room. A large painting of her, her sister, and her parents. There was an extremely larger copy of the paining that hung in the throne room along with others. The paining had them pictured as a family—together as a whole, it wasn't like that now, only two out of four of the people in the painting were alive. Not only that, it was different when all were breathing, it was a better place. Was…
…
Autumn sat under a tree confined within the castle walls. There were the kingdom walls that stretched out for too many miles she could count and then somewhere inside those kingdom walls stood the castle surrounded but the second layer of walls—the castle walls. Those walls weren't much, they were just put up for extra protecting for royalty and for decoration. But that's not important.
Cold winds, cloudy skies, fresh smell of flowers and grass. She bit her lip hard hoping it would bleed but as the pain got stronger she stopped. Too much sad memories… She needed bite her lip hard enough for it to get wounded. She needed an excuse… She needed an excuse for crying. The whole garden made her feel as if she had gone back in time when everything was great. But as much as she wanted to hold it in she couldn't and she cried. Her eyes let out slow tears as she kept quiet.
"Do I have to remind you again?" A familiar masculine voice asked from above the tree. "I'm sorry, it's just no matter how long it's been it still hurts." He sighed. He couldn't say much because he didn't want to hurt her more. He jumped from the tree and landed cleanly next to her, he sat down next to her and grinned like a child who had just done something bad.
She looked at him. Johnny… With his flaming red hair and gorgeous amethyst eyes. One of the finest knights and one of the best friends someone could have.
She rested her head on her friend's strong shoulders, yeah he was her friend and the two of them along with some others were very close friends. "So Johnny, where's Tala, and what were you doing up in a tree?"
"I was in the tree because I was bored and well I was taking a nap. As for Tala, he went somewhere with Lena."
"So if you were sleeping how did you know I was crying?"
"You made a lot of noise when you were sitting down so I woke up and just watched you."
"Correction: you were scrutinizing me."
He chuckled, "I have to watch out you know." He let out a heavy sigh, "They're going to kill another local today."
Autumn groaned, she didn't like going to the beheadings, it was boring and it was really noisy. Same goes for when someone is going to get hanged. She had to attend but more like forced to so that she would know the face of the person who'd committed treason. But what was the use of having to their face if they're going to die? "What is it this time?"
"I don't know," he looked down; he didn't like not having answers, "I think it's for some kind of rebellion."
"Okay…"
…
Johnny stood next to Autumn watching her fall asleep as the jesters performed. And how he wished he didn't volunteer to come with her so that he'd still be able to sleep in the tree. He put a hand on her shoulder and shook her violently, "If I have to stay awake for this you will too!" He pouted.
Johnny watched at the audience, many of them were making a commotion that he feared might break out into a riot while very few of them wanted the person to be hung.
The rope was pulled… Johnny watched as Autumn closed her eyes and looked away. The stool that the man had been standing on slipped out from under him and he hung. A limp body was all that was left—lifeless. Even if she had to go to these things she had truthfully never watched someone die. Johnny put an arm around her, pulled her up to her feet, and guided her away.
He led them to the town square and they walked around seeing what was there for them to see. Heh, he guided her… Yup, he was her bodyguard. But even if she really didn't want one he'd still follow. It's been a while of sight-seeing and he literally heard her stomach growl.
"Wait here, I'm going to get food." Johnny said pointing to the ground just in case she didn't know where here was. Autumn obediently nodded. "Do you understand? Here…" He nodded so that she'd follow with a nod as well, "Here…" She giggled and watched as Johnny hurried to get something.
Autumn stood there waiting for him to come, she thought that maybe he was going to take a while so she started to hum. After a few minutes she could see is fiery red hair from a distance. Not soon she could see him coming—with a grin plastered on his face.
She started to call out to greet him, "Joh-" Just then a hand from behind quickly covered her mouth and she was being pulled away. Johnny's eyes grew wide as he witnessed what happened and ran for her. She tried to scream out for help but the hand was so large. She couldn't even think—she was too scared. Johnny panicked as the crowd got the better of him and blocked his way to her.
"Move peasants!" Johnny boomed trying to get through, "Don't you know not to get in the way of a knight?!" His yelling did nothing and time was running out. He quickly got on top of a roof and spotted them. One man carried her while three others followed. He jumped down only to be met by the corwd again, his blood boiled in annoyance and he drew his sword. People noticed what he was doing and soon they clear his way.
He ran as fast as his legs could take him but the captors had gotten of into a head start. Johnny growled, what was he going to do?! How could he have just let them take her like that?! What an obtuse …
He spotted someone walking a horse. Without a word he briskly climbed onto the horse and maneuvered his way to his friend. The owner watched as someone just stole his horse, then finally it hit him, someone had stolen his horse! "Hey!" He called out. Johnny paid no attention and concentrated on to where he was going.
"Stop!!!" He howled, but they didn't listen. One of the captors looked back at him and noted that now the knight had an advantage—he was on a horse and rapidly catching up to them. In no time he was just right next to them. They knew what they had to do… They stopped at their tracks and watched as the young knight removed himself from the horse. Ready to draw his sword at any moment he snarled "Let her go."
"Aww does the knight in shining armor want to rescue the bitch?" One of them mocked. "Piece of shit!" Johnny growled drawing out his sword. "Nah uh ah," the man shook his head, "one more move and," he placed a dagger to Autumn's throat, "I'm sure you don't want the princess to die…" he mocked licking her cheek.
Johnny froze, he honestly couldn't think of anything to do. The other man laughed maniacally, "That's what we thought… Now… Disarm yourself completely…" Johnny did what he was told and dropped his sword.
"Now answer this… Are you loyal to this kingdom?"
What nerve they had asking such stupid questions at this time, "Yes." Johnny replied, "Not the right answer but one more question… Do you have pride in yourself?"
"Yes." Johnny now said more stern.
The man walked up to him, "Then why lie?" Johnny didn't understand what he meant until the man punched him in the stomach and removed a dagger from his belt. "I said to disarm yourself, but you didn't listen." He looked at Johnny's knife, "Nice piece of work you've got here. Thanks. It's mine now…" He plunged the dagger into Johnny's stomach where he had punched him earlier.
"No!" Autumn screamed with heavy tears coming out from her eyes. "I'm okay Autumn don't worry." Johnny winced placing a hand on the wound trying to slow the blood flow.
"Don't wanna stay down?"
Johnny growled.
The man raised his arm and ran it down to the side of Johnny's neck knocking him out. "Either way, you will eat dirt." He cited as they watched Johnny's body hit the ground with a thud.
The turned back to the girl they were taking, "Your friend is pretty tough. If you weren't in his way he would have beaten us very easily. Now he has to suffer, and for what? You? Too bad he's on the wrong side."
Autumn was speechless, they continued to drag her away and all she could do was look at her unconscious friend on the ground—that and to cry.
…
The men soon stopped and threw the green-haired girl to the ground. One of them took out a piece of cloth and shoved it into her mouth. The other man took out a long piece of cloth and tied it around her mouth. And the last man spoke, "I was thinking of covering your eyes but decided that I wanted you to see what we were going to do with you. And for your sake we better not hear you get too loud or we'll get do more." He laughed, "Now let me check how well your mouth is covered…"
He pulled out an all too familiar dagger that once belonged to her friend and threw it away. "You're going to feel. You're not going to die quickly…" He stood up and kicked her hard in her back and for a while she had lost her breath. But that was just the beginning.
What was going on? What did she do to start with?
She cried… She cried her eyes out… She screamed but all they could hear was muffled screaming that couldn't be heard while the men spoke. She wondered how she wasn't running out of tears or why they were hurting her. She had done nothing, yet they claimed that she was wrong.
The three of them took turns punching and kicking her everywhere. Soon enough she was bleeding and bruised. During their exertions a lot of her clothing had gotten ripped off. Her dress wasn't as big or long, it was thin and short. And the clothing above her waist was showing more that she had liked. But she didn't even like anything that was happening to start with.
"This is for destroying our kingdom!"
"You deserve everything we give you!"
"You kill! And for what?! For having the right to hate what you've done?!"
What was going on? She really didn't know what they were talking about…
After a few minutes she was starting to feel numb in places and she liked it hoping it would cause her less pain. But it didn't, they just kept hitting her over and over. Each of them had once picked her up and threw her down to the ground. And after another few minutes their attacks hindered.
One stopped, "Okay… I'm bored now…" The other two laughed, "Okay let's finish this." One of then picked up one of her legs violently and began to brutally drag her.
Since they've started, her vision had been blurred for all the crying and from the blows. She didn't know where they were taking her. They hadn't taken her far when they stopped.
The man grabbed her other leg and spoke, "Can you swim?"
Autumn shook her head slowly and heard the men laugh loudly. She lied… But not completely. She did know how to swim—when her feet could touch the ground and she knew how to hold her breath long enough, but she didn't know how to float…
Then there was a tug on her legs and with the man's strength he threw her into the air. And for a very short feeling of what flying was like, gravity took its toll and she was falling. She ended up falling into the water flat on her back with a splash and the feeling of pain as the water hit her already bruised skin.
The men laughed as they watched her struggling for air. They left not wanting to waste their time watching her drown.
Autumn untied the tie and removed the cloth from her mouth and tried to fight her way to the surface but every time she reached the surface she took in less air and in the back of her head something told her to give up.
A young man walked with his eyes closed, whistling, while holding a bucket in his had slowly walked towards the late. He stopped and opened his eyes when he heard loud splashing.
He noted that someone was drowning and rushed over to the person. He put down his bucket and watched the drowning person. He couldn't tell what gender they were but when there was no more effort of the person trying to get air he snapped back to what he was doing there and stuck his arm into the water.
Autumn slowly sunk, her eyes began to close as she ran out of energy. No more air… She couldn't breathe… She was drowning… It was as if she was drowning in her tears… And then there it was a hand—no. An arm… She weakly reached for it and at the slightest touch took her hand and pulled her up. This person's hand crawled to her elbow and pulled her up faster. In no time she was out of the water. And the first thing she saw was her rescuer's face.
She gasped for air and shortly she was breathing again.
The young man pulled her completely out of the water and started scolding her, "If you can't swim don't even try. If you want to learn have someone that knows how, teach you. You're lucky I was here." He scoffed and then looked at her carefully, she was in terrible shape and he had a feeling he knew what happened to her and felt like taking back what he had just said.
She coughed trying to get out water. She turned to him to tell him her story when she noticed that he was looking at him. She looked at him… Charming auburn eyes, an attractive face, and uncontrollable hair. Then she remembered Johnny. Johnny! What happened to him? That's when she started crying again.
He let her cry… After a few minutes she had stopped and that was when he spoke again, "So what's your name?"
"Autumn." She said sadly and shakily.
He burst out laughing, "What the hell were your parents thinking giving you such a stupid name?!" She glared at him. "Well what's your name?"
"It's better than yours!" He taunted continuing to laugh while holding his stomach as the laughing got to him.
