Okay, so I lied about writing within 3 days or so. Sorry. My inspiration was in a coma and…and…wait! No it wasn't. It wouldn't let me write, so there! Anywho, I hope you like it and enjoy!
I do not own any of these characters and no profits are earned. What more do you people want from me!?!
A Family Affair
ch. 5
Lady Marie awoke, looking around at her surroundings. At first she hadn't recognized anything. But it faded as her memory of where she was came alive. She was in her room and in her bed.
It was all just a dream, she thought happily to herself. The fear that what she had experienced was true now gone. Popa! she thought. Lady Marie had to see her father to be sure that it was all just a nightmare.
As she started to get up from her bed pain emerged from her stomach and head, forcing her to lay back down. She felt her forehead. There was a bump and what felt like bruises across her face from where she had been hit. Her eyes widened. No, oh please, no! she thought frantically. Slowly she pulled herself out of bed and hobbled to her door. Before she opened her door she heard two men speaking.
"What was with that little scene and saving the girl, Lensherr?" one of the men asked.
"I figured that since I am planning on moving in on the lady of the house it might seem a little odd after a massacre of father and daughter. Don't you think? So, I've decided to keep her alive long enough for her to tell anyone who knew them that I had saved her life and no one would suspect me. And once I am safe with that reputation you will return and finish the job," Lord Lensherr answered.
"I see," the other man said.
"So, Creed. How did it feel killing the man that ruined your life by sending you to jail claiming you killed your own family?" Lord Lensherr asked.
The other man laughed. "Satisfying. You know, just because I kill others for pleasure and profits doesn't necessarily mean I'll kill my own wife and son. I guess Worthington doesn't really think too much of me after I killed his father for shits and giggles and what money he had." He laughed again.
"I suppose not. But I shall call upon you when this job needs to be finished. You may go now," Lord Lensherr said.
Lady Marie was in total shock. She had known Lord Lensherr almost all her life. Maybe not so much as a friend but he surely didn't seem to be the type that would want her and her father dead.
She back away from the door. Her breathing increasing as fear grew inside her. Where could she go? What should she do, now that her father was dead and another man was out to kill her?
A breeze from her window answered her. She turned and looked at the window. A moment passed and she remembered her father reading her a story about a man escaping from his window by tying sheets together to make a rope.
Immediately she went to her bed, pulling the covers from it and tying them together. She worked quickly expecting any moment Lord Lensherr would open her bedroom door to check on her.
When she was finished she tied one end to her bed post, making sure it was tight enough to hold her. Before she threw the other end out the window she checked the grounds at the bottom of her window, making sure no one was there. No one was. She threw the other end out her window.
As she was about to climb down Lady Marie looked at her room again. There on her shelf she saw her books her father used to read her. Lady Marie grabbed a sack from her closet and shoved all of her books inside. She then climbed down to the ground below her room.
Quietly she made her way into the woods. Behind her, she heard voices yelling. She then recognized one of the voices as Creed. Her blood ran cold flew. Without any though she ran. The horses raced down the road close to her. She fled deeper into the woods until the beating of the horses hooves was a distant sound and then was soon gone.
Lady Marie slowed to a jog. The urge of getting as far from her home as possible pushed her on.
For what seemed to her as forever she had come to a clearing which became a road. Exhausted from her journey Lady Marie heaved air in and out, desperately trying to catch her breath. She looked up and saw someone riding his horse on the road in her direction. She staggered towards whoever it was. Once she took a simple couple of steps her body gave out as she passed out, falling to the ground.
Logan watched as a girl emerged from the woods and before she could make it to the road she fell to the ground. He kicked his horse in the gut. The horse reared up and galloped ahead. Logan pulled the reins, stopping his horse. He jumped from his saddle and ran to the unconscious girl. He had recognized her from King Charles's dinner.
Her breathing was heavy as he checked her pulse. It was racing. Logan picked her up and lifted her onto his horse. Logan held her in his arms as he turned his horse and headed back to King Charles's castle. Curious as to why she was out this far away from home. Logan would find out soon enough.
**************************************************
My next chapter will be about the same length except about Remy! Most likely chapter 7 will be really long getting more into the meat and potatoes of the story. So yes, please review and tell me what you think! I crave reviews and well don't all writer's? We need it!!
