Chapter 7
the escape
-------------
garnet walked upstairs, into her bedroom. She packed some of her dresses, but she didn't pack a lot. She opened her wardrobe and picked out a white glittery dress, designed with forest leaves all over it, that came with some silky gloves. She changed and she sat down on her vanity and tried to choose a clip to use to clip her hair.
garnet-Mmm...this silvery pearl one, or the glittery crystal one...
she had a rather hard time choosing, and then she heard her door open.
eiko-garnet! Are you ready YET?
garnet smiled of how cute eiko looked. She knew she was trying to impress someone. Either vivi or zidane.
garnet-almost, I'm trying to pick out a clip, what do you think?
eiko walked towards her vanity and quickly chose the glittery crystal one.
eiko-the sparkly one, THAT one is beautiful!
garnet smiled and clipped her hair. She got her headband and put it on.
garnet-how do I look?
she twirled her dress around.
eiko-absolutely gorgeous!
eiko smiled, and together they walked downstairs.
freya-wow, you two look wonderful!
vivi-*blush*you two look real pretty
garnet-thank you freya and vivi!
eiko-thankssss! Tee-hee, I can't wait to eat!
eiko skipped to her chair and sat down, it was right next to garnet's. Garnet looked around and couuldn't help to notice, that zidane wasn't here.
garnet-um...have you guys seen zidane?
freya-nope, not yet. Probably still getting ready?
vivi-*looks around the room*
steiner-no, your highness. Would you like me to go look for him?
beatrix walked in, just in time hearing the questioning of zidane.
beatrix-no sign of him, steiner. We already looked.
garnet started to get worried.
garnet-really? Not anywhere on the castle grounds?
beatrix nodded.
beatrix-no where to be seen, your highness.
garnet-I...I should go look for him, I'll be right back---
both of the soldiers blocked the door
soldier 1-sorry my queen, but we can't let you risk your chances of getting hurt
soldier 2-we'll send soldiers to look for him.
garnet-really, it's okay, I'll go---
beatrix-your highness, we can't let you do this, we'll do it right away. Please enjoy the appetizers.
beatrix bowed, and went through the door.
steiner-I shall go too, please your highness, don't do anything to risk your safety
steiner also left.
garnet sighed and sat on her throne.
freya-I'm sorry garnet, but it's true, you can't risk your safety.
vivi-y-yeah, we don't want you to get hurt
garnet-but I use to ALWAYS go out there when I was never queen! It's just too hard being like this...I can't do anything without ten bodyguards...it's really hard.
eiko-oh c'mon garnet! It's super fun! You get dressed up, fed 'till you can't eat, and even get lots of stuff! I don't mind bodyguards, it's better being safe than sorry!
eiko smiled and bit into her buttered bread.
freya-don't worry, zidane will be found soon. I'm sure of it.
freya took a sip of her wine, and sat back to relax. Vivi munched on crackers.
garnet couldn't take it, she HAD to go look for zidane herself. Garnet rose from her throne, and ran to the door. Freya got up suddenly, and eiko put down her bread, and ran after her.
vivi-g-garnet! D-don't go!
eiko-GARNET! YOU CAN'T---
garnet-please, I need to go get something from my room, I-I forgot
the two soldiers looked at eachother.
soldier 1-what do you need? We'll send a messenger to get it.
garnet-n-no, I need to go, it's personal
soldier 2-well, we shall get a bodyguard, be right back, my queen.
the second soldier ran to the other room, and less than 10 seconds, came another soldier.
soldier 2-please escort the queen to her room. She needs to get something.
soldier 3-yes sir.
eiko looked at garnet suspiciously, freya too.
so garnet and the soldier walked up to her room. Garnet opened her door.
garnet-could you wait out here? It'll take only a minute
soldier 3-certainly, my queen
garnet closed the door and thought to herself
garnet-[well...this is the only solution!]
garnet went to her wardrobe and got her escaping outfit, the exact one she wore when she planned to get kidnapped.
she took out a long rope she had planned to use a year ago, to escape from her window. She attached it to the window and slowly tightned it to make sure it wouldn't break. She swinged and landed exactly where she wanted to, on the cloth that was on a shop that made it like a balloon. She skipped off and the owner looked at her curiously.
shop owner-are you okay, m'dear?
garnet-y-yes. I'm fine, thank you.
the shop owner looked at her more closely.
shop owner-you look very familiar...
garnet backed away
garnet-I have to go, u-um, bye-bye!
garnet ran off and tried looking for zidane.
the soldier knocked on garnet's door.
soldier 3-are you ready, my queen? It's been about 20 minutes..?
there was no answer, the soldier got worried. He had no choice but to open it. The soldier gasped, and ran straight back to the feast.
freya-YOU'RE KIDDING!
solider 1-I HAD FAITH IN YOU!
soldier 2-YOU'RE HOPLESS! YOU LOST THE QUEEN!
eiko-M-M-MY, S-S-SISTER!
the soldier sobbed, and told them all about it.
freya-oh dear...we should go look for her now!
eiko-YES! As the PRINCESS, I order ALL of you to go to look for garnet! IMMIDIATLEY!
the soldiers bowed and ran off to the other soldiers.
eiko-freya and vivi, you wanna come?
freya-of course, anything for garnet.
vivi-sure!
all of them left to go look for garnet
