Chapter 7
All I know when I woke was that I was in a dungeon, where my wrists were cuffed. It was night and it was cold. I clanked the cuffs everywhere I could think but nothing worked. I'd been kidnapped.
"No use trying to escape luscious. Your love is not here to save you. He's dead." Le Piue's echoing voice came from a peephole.
"I did nothing to ye. Please let me go. Le Piue please!" I pleaded. He just laughed haughty.
"You saucy, whit-livered, rump-fed, canker soar! Let me out!" I screamed. What I said, where it came from I had no idea.
Luckily that night I had a plan. If I could slam myself into the bars, hard enough to pop them open, I'd be out. However there was nothing I could do about the cuffs.
"1, 2, 3…" Slam. "OUCH!" I hollered with no avail. I continued my process three more times before I decided that if I did not get it open one last time then I was just going to have to be patient and wait.
"All right Marguerite. You can do it. Just one hard, 1, 2, 3…" Slamming myself as hard as I could into the bars I felt myself fall forward and heard a loud crash. YES! I did it. Now to get back to the castle. That was PLAN A part B. I'd have to go bye foot.
As I walked out of the dungeon, I realized Le Piue wasn't as stupid as I thought. He had heard everything I was doing and waiting for me outside.
"Sneaky, sneaky little mouse aren't we." He sniggered.
"At least I'm not a stinky, stinky skunk!" I protested.
"Oh that hurt Marguerite."
I stuck out my tongue. That was all I did.
"Let me go Le Piue." I demanded a moment later.
"Why should I do that Marguerite. If I really wanted to I wouldn't have even come back for you. But you see marguerite you're the only satisfaction I have. Now that your mother has moved on to bigger, better things." It didn't surprise me mother was never satisfied. But as he continued to speak I moved on in my thoughts.
And just as I began to think about him, Gustave appeared before my very eyes. I couldn't believe it. He was sneaking up behind Le Piue with Henry. Why did this look so familiar? Well right now it did not matter, I was just simply happy to be rescued.
But as I looked at le Piue I realized he realized my distraction. I couldn't pull his attention. No matter what I said. He viciously turned back to me with venom in his eyes and said.
"I'm going to kill them! Both of them right here in front of you so you'll never disobey again!" Pulling out his bow and arrow he aimed.
"NO! GUSTAVE, HENRY! HE'S ARMED!" I screamed. There was nothing I could do. I pleaded with the lord helplessly until I reached for le Piue's own sword and raised it high. High enough to affect him if I really had the bronze to do what I was thinking.
With one swift move I had the sword in his back and he dropped his bow turning to me. There was blood dribbling from his lips and suddenly his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he collapsed on top of me.
I screamed, and I screamed again. I kept screaming until the boys reached me. Blood was on me however it was not mine and that's all I knew I wanted. At least one of the things. The other was the love of Gustave.
