~ Ryan & Rosemary~
Rosemary looked up and saw before her a cottage covered in ivy just like in her memory. It was run down because it hadn't been lived in for quite some time. She shivered thinking about it and jumped down into the snow that came up to her ankles. Her dress that she still had on from the ball was rumpled and covered a foot of all the snow around her.
Then suddenly she fell to ground as if knocked down by some invisible force. Right when Ryan looked down on the ground she disappeared. Vanished. He looked at the ground questioningly as if to see her reappear as quickly as she had gone but nothing happened. Even her footsteps were gone. Like she was erased.
He looked around nervously and then started calling out her name. The horse she had been riding shot him a glance that made him think he had gone mad. 'Maybe it is just one of her stupid and childish.' his thought trailed off as he recalled her story that she had just told him. He decided to look around for her.
After a while he was getting cold and tired. He really didn't want to stop looking for her because despite their differences he wasn't completely sure about her. She was a lying snake who had murdered his parents or a really nice girl with a crappy life. Either way he wanted to find her to make sure that she was okay if she was innocent and if she wasn't innocent then he wanted to be the one to hurt her.
He was about to give up when he saw a flash of gold out of the corner of his eye. Quickly he maneuvered his horse over to where she lay. Her golden hair flung every which way and her gown tattered but blending into the snow. He jumped down from his horse and scooped her up into his arms out of the snow. She was bleeding from her head a little and her lips were blue. He almost feared her dead but she had a small steady breath coming from her lips. He snatched off the cloak around him and wrapped her in it. He has never seen her so helpless before not even when she was in the dungeon had she looked this small and innocent. 'Innocent .' he thought but then shook his head and leaped onto his horse. He rode as hard as his horse would allow.
Finally up in front of him was a small homely cabin. After tying his horse to a tree, he carefully reached up to receive Rosemary in his arms. She was starting to look more like a rag doll because she had more color in her face but she was still limp. He raced inside the house, opening the door without knocking. Instantly he was greeted with a sweet aroma of cinnamon and warmth.
There was a plump old woman and man sitting down to a feast. They both looked up at Ryan with Rosemary wilted in his arms and started laughing.
A/N* hahah!! The evil cliffhanger. Who are these people and why are they laughing?!?!?!? Stayed tuned for another episode of .you don't think I would be THAT cruel? Hehe
Then everything in the room started changing. The plump old woman and man faces started to bubble and boil. The room was spinning and the feast that was once so nicely laid out on the table started to break apart into little spiders and cockroaches. They scurried off the table and to plague the floor. The woman and the man stopped bubbling and exploded all over the place to reveal two of the most grotesque creatures Ryan had ever seen. Even beating out the orges with green slimy skin and boils all over them. They had random patches of fur and they drooled this yellow substance. Ryan set Rosemary on the counter next to the door and pulled out his sword. But as he soon found the yellow drool when it landed on a spider or cockroach, the insect grew much bigger.
Just as Ryan was hacking away at the bugs and the two nasties, Rosemary regained consciousness. She opened her eyes to see Ryan whacking wildly at invisible things and yelling insults to hallucinations while stomping on the ground.
"Get, You nasty little!!" Ryan shouted while he smashed the dusty table in half with his sword.
"Ryan! Ryan! Stop!" Rosemary screamed on the top of her lungs but then something happened that she hadn't expected. Ryan turned around and started after her. She let out a scream of terror and ran out the open door. The dress she was wearing did not help her cause. As soon as she was a distance from the cabin she fell flat on her face. The snow burned her face but she sat up to look into Ryan's icy blues that now looked possessed. She did the only thing she could think of. She grabbed a handful of snow and threw it smack in the middle of his face. He paused. Then looked around. He seemed confused and even more so when he saw his sword at Rosemary's throat. He slowly lowered it enough to have her answer his question.
"What happened?" " Will you get that thing away from my face!" But Ryan didn't even move. Rosie sighed.
"All I remember is one minute I was staring at the cabin the next thing I know, I was on a counter inside the cabin watching you whack it to bits. I tried to stop you and you came chasing after me with that stick of metal in your hand. Then you woke-up and here we are. Now will you move it?" Rosie left out the part where she hit him with a snowball but it wasn't the sort of thing that she would tell someone with a sword pointed at her throat.
Ryan stood there for a moment trying to decide whether to believe her or not when Rosie started staring behind him with this terror in her face. He turned around thinking to see another nasty but there was nothing behind him. He turned around to look at her again but she had stood up and started looking around.
"What is wrong?" Ryan asked her slightly annoyed.
"This is where it happened." She answered but really didn't want to say more. It was like history was repeating itself. Only before it didn't seem like her life was in danger. This was the same spot that she had tripped before and that she had met the woman who had stole her life. The cabin was just out of view and she was sitting next to the same tree she had that day. Then she thought 'Why would Hezzel want them to come here? All the answers are with that woman. If we find her we can find everything...wait why isn't Hezzel here yet?'
Ryan still did not understand yet was looking at her like she had suddenly gone mad. She hoped that he wasn't going to start attacking her again but instead he asked her a question.
"What do you mean this is where it.oh." He fell silent but then asked something else, "Why did Hezzel bring us here and what do I have to do with this?"
Then Rosemary remembered something.
A/N* Yay! Yet another done ( : I am soo happy. You know I had writer's block. Which is weird cuz I have later chapters written and know exactly how it is going to end but it is getting there that is the prob. But I found that if I just started typing then things just sorta come together. So I am lucky cuz this could have been really bad. But thanks again to my two reviewers Icepixie and Aduial Elenath- thanks for your praise I just am so happy that you are my reviewers because with that kind of encouragement it makes it a lot easier and fun to write this! So thanks and until next chapter.
