A Story Never Told

Chapter 4

Fairytale or Real?

If a dream is a wish your heart makes

Then a fairytale must be a life you wish you had.

But when you reach the bad part of it

You wish for your own life back

But that is your life now

And it will be forever

So don't wish for the fairytale life

Or you may just get a surreal adventure

Gabriella laid her head on Troy's lap as he fed them berries. They laughed together and held each other for a while until they started a game of tag. When Gabriella jumped onto Troy's back they fell and laughed in the leaves. In complete silence, I distant sound emerged. It got louder and louder, and when Troy realized what it was, he pulled Gabriella up and ran to their horses. Troy made Gabriella follow him quickly as they reached a small cave. They raced inside and were quiet fast, holding their breath. Half a minute later, a giant herd of horsemen were charging towards Troy's land.

"What are they doing?" Gabriella asked.

"Every year, our families meet and discus whether or not they would make peace." Troy informed her.

"Oh…" Gabriella sighed getting off her horse

"I wish they would make peace." Troy sighed also climbing down.

"Yea, then we could be together forever." Gabriella said emotionlessly.

"Speaking of being together forever… will you marry me?" Troy asked.

"Pardon?" Gabriella asked not know if she heard him right.

"Marry me, we can find a way someday." Troy told her taking out a ring.

"Ok." Gabriella agreed after thinking deeply... She loved Troy.

"This ring has been passed down for generations and is a family heirloom." Troy informed her.

"I love you Troy." Gabriella smiled widely and kissed him.

"I love you too… more than you'll ever know." Troy told her lovingly.

"I'm so glad you didn't kill me that day." Gabriella giggled.

"So am I. I wouldn't be staring at my beautiful fiancé." Troy laughed slightly. They spent the whole day in the cave and then through the night…

When Gabriella got home the next morning she covered the ring with mud and went up to her room. She went to sleep thinking of the wonderful fiancé that she had and hopefully would actually end up marrying. It's a good thing her parents were gone, she would have been in trouble for not coming home that night.

It was two days later when she saw Troy again. They met up and started making out. An hour later, Troy helped her up and placed her against a tree. Taking a pocket knife out, he was about to trace a heart on the tree around her head, when someone pushed him forward off Gabriella and made him fall and drop his knife. There, standing above them was a guard staring down angrily at Troy.

"How dare you touch this girl." The guard yelled viciously at him as he held a sword close to his neck.

"No guard, don't hurt him. He isn't a threat." But Gabriella was too late, he blew a whistle and two more guards came.

"I didn't do anything." Troy pleaded as he was pulled up and they started to drag him away. Hopping on Jin she galloped toward the men. She got them to at least let him walk. Then, knowing she could do nothing else, she followed.

When they arrived back at the Montez house, Gabriella gave Jin to someone to stable her, and followed Troy and the guards. When they reached the main room, they threw Troy to the ground as the Montez parents were called in.

"Who have we here?" John Montez asked staring down at Troy.

"I mean no harm." Troy claimed.

"Why is he here?" John directed towards the guards.

"He attacked your daughter, tried to kill her." The first guard said.

"What?" John bellowed furiously.

"I did not try to kill your daughter!" Troy yelled toward John.

"Why are they telling me you did?" John asked.

"We caught him pinning her to a tree, and pulling out a pocket knife." The same guard proclaimed.

"Is this true?" John asked in anger.

"Yes." Troy admitted. Gabriella stared at the two, worried.

"Then why do you claim that you weren't trying to hurt her?" John asked.

"I would never hurt her." Troy claimed.

"He was going to draw a heart around my head." Gabriella yelled feeling the need to help.

"Why?" John asked curiously.

"Because…" Gabriella started and got a load of confidence, "We're in love."
