looking at her hands, in a way she still felt the warmth that radiated from him. that familiar feeling started to rise in her again she had to stop this before she was to enter court again that is what got her into the mess in the first place.
feeling the coach slowing down and the coach master shouting go the guards she knew she was moments from seeing her brothers face. feeling the cold air as the door was opened for her she saw a hand come into the inside of the coach offering it to her. taking the mystary hand she stepped out of the darkness of the coach and sqinted a little as the sharp light. before she had taken her foot off the last step she felt two strong arms wraped around her. not used to that kind of attention her body went stiff. Elizabeths eyes finally clearing she saw her brothers face, a little older with a few scars but it was her beloved brother.
with her body relaxing she wrapped her own armes around his neck " oh brother i have missed you so much."
Charles smiled " welcome home sister"
ending the embrace Charles took his sisters hand and escorted her into the palace before her. great peices of stone decorated in hundreds of woven tapastreys and paintings, each room as eligant as the next. Many things had changed since she was last here, knowing this she was trying to pay attention to the path they were going because she knew that she enevitabley was going to get lost.
Charles showed her the gardens, the great hall, church yard, and her quaters. finally letting go of her hand Charles bid Elizabeth a good afternoon.
" I will escort you to dinner this evening. wouldnt want you getting lost now would we." poking at her side and laughing. Some thing do never change.

Walking into my chambers she was suprised to see two girls about the same age as herself, curtsying the lowered their heads to her. smiling a little to herself she walked over to them putting her hand on ones sholder. " what are your names and please stand up i hate all eyes to the floor buisness." the girls looked up at her in almost shock. The brunette girl first spoke " my name is Anne mistress and this is Emma." She smied at both girls "please call me Elizabeth"
she walked to her bed and sat down laying her head back on one of the many pillows. she closed her eyes for a second to rest them.
hearing a knock at the door it startled her. As Emma walked over to it and opened the door it was Charles, her heart quickened she must have fallen asleep and dinner was soon...too soon.
