Chapter 19: A Change of Plans
Marcie had to sit in a cold, dirty cell that night before she was to be sentenced. Most of the night, she cried. She sat against the wall and thought, 'How could he have done this? I thought he loved me..' Suddenly, her thoughts were disrupted by a "Psst! Marcie, up here!" Marcie looked up to see Colby at her cell window. "Colby!" Marcie cried. "I'm so glad you're here!" Marcie ran up to the window, but Colby put her finger to her mouth and said, "Sssh, I know you are. Listen, I've come up with a plan to get you out of this.sort of. But don't worry, you'll be saved." Marcie stopped crying and said, "Oh thank you Colby! Thank you!" "Ssssh, not so loud!" Colby said. "I have to go now, leave all the rest to me." And with that, she ran off towards the palace. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Legolas sat in his room on a chair by one of the big open windows. He couldn't stop thinking about Marcie, and how she was going to die. He wanted to do something, but he knew that the only reason she was in love with him was to get his money and his kingdom, that was all she wanted.right? Suddenly, he heard a noise. He looked up, and saw Colby standing before him. He stood up and said, "What are you doing here? I could have you arrested for this!" He was about to make his way for the door but Colby stopped him. "Oooh no you don't! Not until I talk to you." She pushed him down by the bed and told him to sit down. "Legolas, just what the heck do you think you're doing?! Why are you letting this happen to Marcie?? She loved you so much and what do you do? Accuse her of trying to seduce you? Now I know Marcie talked about doing that, but I know she never would! What is going on with you??" Colby cried. Legolas stared the other away the whole time she spoke to him. When Colby finished, he looked at her and said, "Because all she wanted was my money and my palace! She didn't love me, she loves my possessions!" Colby stared at him and said, "That is the biggest lie I have ever heard, who would tell you such a thing?" "Why, Princess Leandra! She said she spoke with Marcie after the feast two nights ago." "That's impossible!" cried Colby, "I was with her the entire time that whole night at her house, and not once did that stupid Princess Leandra come by! Legolas, can't you see she was lying to you the whole time??" Legolas wanted to die, he couldn't believe it. Colby was right, and he knew it. He knew that Marcie could have never said such a thing. By this time, it was morning. "Oh no!" cried Legolas. "It is morning, we have to stop them from killing Marcie! Come on, we have to go now!" he said, taking up his bow and arrow and running out of the door. "Right!" Colby said, and she jumped out the window, beating Legolas to the front of the castle.
