It was midnight as the rain began to fall.
As a fist pounded against one of the trees within the forest, a man bellowed… his followers struggling to catch the words that the rain threatened to drown them out.
"FIND HER!"
----------------------
As the down pour continued, running became harder and harder as the mud became softer and the ball gown absorbed both the water and that fell and the mud it swept across. The young lady knew she had eluded her pursuers for now, but didn't dare stop. It was now, in this weather, that would be the best time to disappear, as the rain would wash away all traces of her, making it almost impossible to track her foot prints…. or her scent.
She had not expected the events that had unfolded that night. What was to be an enjoyable evening out at a friends party quickly turned into a nightmare. Her disguise wasn't enough. They had found her.
Reflecting on the evening's events, the young lady didn't notice the root of the tree that stuck out of the ground. As her foot got caught, it sent her falling to the floor, earning a few cuts from branches on the way and staining her ball gown with more mud. Not daring to stop for a second to asses the damages, the girl got up quicker than she had fallen and continued running. She couldn't let them catch up…. She wouldn't.
----------------------
It was nearly 2 am when the girl emerged from the forest, rain still beating her down. Quickly and frantically scanning her surroundings, she caught sight of a mansion roughly a mile away. Relief washed over her as she ran towards it. She could hide there for remainder of the night, or until she figured out what to do and where to go from there.
As the girl approached the double doors, she banged hard on it. Knowing full well that it was early hours of the morning and all the residents would be resting. Not expecting the door to be answered any time soon, the lady jumped when the door was opened just minutes after she had knocked. The gentleman that had answered the door was tall with slightly messy jet black hair and maroon eyes which held a hint of surprise when he saw her. The lady imagined that she must look like someone who had just emerged from a great battle. He was the household's butler. The young lady had no doubt as he was dressed in common butler attire.
"Please kind sir, I require shelter for night." She almost begged, bowing lowly.
And with that the butler stepped aside…. "Of course mi'lady"
