Chapter 4
When they left in the morning, Nadia checked up on Ana. Satisfied that she was still asleep, she closed and locked the door from the outside, and left to go to the castle.
As soon as she heard the horses leave, Ana's eyes popped open. She grinned very slyly and swung her feet around the edge of the bed. Her clothes, or should she say DC's clothes were a little too big, but that didn't matter. Ana checked the window to be sure that they were truly gone. I thought they were smart enough not to leave me here, Ana thought. I guess not. She went to open the door. Oooooo, they locked it! How dare they lock me into my own room! Ana looked around her room. No matter, they forgot about my determination to leave. Ana looked to the ground from the window for any means of escaping her room. A merchant's tent was all that was there. Hmmm, I wonder how sturdy that is . . . . As quick as a fox, Ana was out the window and on the ground. The merchant's tent was a little lopsided now that she jumped onto it, but nothing so serious that he couldn't live without. Ana bowed a mocking thank you to the man, and ran off to fetch Farecrest.
With her horse and a bag with one change of clothes, a little money and food, Ana rode her horse out of the city and onto the road to Corus, where girls can become knights. Unfortunately for this girl, she will have to disguise herself as a boy, to escape her family's wrath.
Ana steered Farecrest into the woods and stopped at a river. Now was the time to complete her disguise.
She took out her belt knife and grabbed a piece of her back-long hair. Closing her eyes, she sliced it, right up to her ears, just like DC's and most of the other boys at the palace. She looked in the river. I just look like Ana with short hair. She grinned and took her very long saved up gift and brought it across her face. She had a great abundance of it, from her mother and her father. Thought she can't change the fact that she is a girl, Ana changed her hair-colour to a sandy blonde, and gave her skin a darker tone. She looked again into the river. A face she couldn't recognize was staring at her. She grinned, satisfied with what she'd done, and got up, brushing herself off. Standing up, she got very dizzy. Drat, I forgot the side-affects. She thought as she collapsed onto the grassy floor.
