Rising From The Ashes.
Ok guys, this is only a quick chapter, as I have to revise. I've got 3 assessments this week, including one on why Henry VIII broke from Rome. I have a sneaking suspicion I might pass that one. Wish me luck for them all xxxxxxxx
...before promptly walking back into the room, laughing. Struggling for breath, she pointed at Henry, "YOUR FACE!" He smiled and ran to her, swinging her in the air, but at that point, Lady Bryan burst into the room. "Your Majesties!" Henry set Anne down, both of them straight faced once more. "The Lady Jane has escaped the hold of the guards and has now taken the Princess Elizabeth. Neither of them are to be found anywhere."
No one moved. No one spoke. A deathly silence filled the huge room. Mary froze, but Anne swayed where she stood and fainted into her husbands arms. "What- what of Edward? Is he safe?" Henry stuttered, still clutching his wife. Lady Bryan looked close to tears herself as she answered, "The Prince is safely locked in his chambers, with enough servants to attend to him." Henry picked up his wife, and carried her out of the room, leaving his eldest daughter to walk out quickly after them. As she did, she spotted a flash of gold, and turned to the corridor it came from, her heels clicking down the stone passage. Reaching the end, she turned a corner to be met with the sight of nothing but air and torches. Her heart sank as she turned, and walked back to her chambers.
Jane let out the breath she was holding and stepped out from behind the curtain, clutching the Princess who turned to her. "Where's Mama and Papa?" Jane stared at her, the dull blue eyes meeting the child's sparkling dark ones. She really was a beautiful child, Jane observed, a perfect blend of her parents. Her shiny red curls matched her fair skin, both of which were traits from her father. Her dark eyes were by far her most striking feature, and Jane knew that one day, Elizabeth would become one of the most beautiful ladies in court. "Mama and Papa are busy, so Janey is taking care of you now." Elizabeth looked confused. "Well, why isn't May, or George, or Nan?" Jane was surprised that the 4 year old knew so many words, but decided not to answer her question.
Henry was fuming. How dare that bitch come back and ruin everything? It was bad enough that she was actually back at court, but he would have her head for taking his precious Elizabeth away. He was sat in Anne's outer chambers, waiting for her to come round. George, Thomas and Mary had all been summoned to court, but he was not looking forward to seeing Thomas, and Anne wasn't either. But he had insisted on accompanying his children to court. Lady Bryan emerged, and dropping a quick curtsey, she said, "The Queen is asking for you Your Highness." Henry opened the door gingerly, afraid of what state his wife would be in. To his surprise, Anne looked almost normal, except for the fact that she was extremely pale, and looked like she would collapse again. "Have you found her?" Henry looked down at the floor, and Anne took that for a no. "I found this." Anne looked up, and Henry handed the note to his wife.
Want to see your precious jewel again Henry? Well, divorce the harlot and marry me, and you can see her as much as you like.
Jane.
Well, that was quite long, and I'm supposed to be studying, but OH WELL! I hope you enjoy. Please let me know how I did! xxxxx
