Chapter 13 – Information

It had been a week since the count came to "visit". I was very bored. I longed to talk to John and ride my horse.

I decided to read from my book. I opened the book slightly, a slip of paper fell out. I picked it up, it was from Mother!

Dear Dee,

I hope you are having fun in Ayortha.

Yeah right. Yes Mother, I'm having a lot of fun being locked up in my room! I continued reading.

This book that I gave you is a special book, it was given to me by our cook Mandy. Do you know why it's special? Because it's fairy-made. Every time you open the book, new things would appear for you to read; it grows on you. It could be very useful too. Sometimes it would show you letters and diary entries (I know it's wrong to read others' thoughts, but if the book shows you an entry, you are meant to read it. At least that's what I think anyways). We don't have to write letters to you for you to read it, you could see it in the book.

Have fun honey, I hope your tongue haven't rotted off yet. You could do tongue exercises to keep it healthy!

Love,
Mother

Fairy-made! I gaped at the book in my hands. I didn't believe her, I didn't believe in fairies.

But I opened the book anyways, curious at whether the contents changed or not.

It did! Instead of a picture of John, I saw a picture of Lightning. She looked so sad. I felt tears stinging my eye. I turned the page and to my surprise saw Count V, and there was a bit of writing.

Soon Kyrria will be mine! I've already made plans to destroy the Princes. As soon as I can get that stubborn wench to marry me, I would put my plan into action and be King!

I gasped and dropped the book, my hands trembling. I had to warn Father, my family was in danger! I was afraid for them, especially my brother Edward. he was in the court, the count could do anything to him.

Okay, calm down Dee. Think!

I sat down and started writing a letter, but then I stopped. What if it got intercepted and fell into the wrong hands? I had to get out of here and warn my family.

But how?


I was walking to my room, or my prison, the next day with pesky guards behind me. When I opened the door, I found a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up without letting the guards see me.

"You can wait outside, I need my privacy." I told the guards, they nodded and waited outside the door.

I sighed, why did my mother send me here? I was a princess in exile, or worse.

I shut the door and opened the paper. I was delighted to see that it was in John's handwriting.

Dee,

I have a plan for you to escape. You need to get out of here now! I heard the men talking about a Count V wanting to take over Kyrria. You have to go home, you're not safe here. The Count wants to kidnap you to be his bride.

So here's the plan. Pack everything you need, find an excuse to come to the stables, and drop your stuff here. I will pack your saddlebags for you and get your horse ready.

Then tonight sneak out of your room to the stables. If the guards follow you, don't worry; I have a plan to distract them. I will escort you home; after all, it's not safe to travel alone.

Good luck!

John

I know that chap was short, but I want to have the escape in a separate chap. Plz review!!!

The reason that I hadn't been updating for a while is 1) it took me a while to think of the escape plan 2) I'm writing another story in the fairy tale section: White as Snow? Not Really! And 3) school is starting soon. NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not that I'm afraid of it, it's just that I won't have any freedom and I can't sleep in anymore :*( In fact, this is my last day of freedom (okay, Monday's labour day, but since my parents are gonna be home, it won't be total freedom)
