She made it back just in time. Her father was standing right inside
the door when she started to climb. She had just made it on the balcony
when she heard his voice. "As soon as she gets in let me know." One of
their housemaids nodded her head and left the room before he could add
anything.
Ann went downstairs after changing into her riding clothes. "Good morning daddy." Her father was angry and wanted to know the reason for her tardiness at breakfast. She had told him she went riding and lost track of time. He softened his tone and told her something she didn't want to hear. He told her that since there was a fight last night with a Lord and Rich that there was going to be a war. Ann's heart sank as she thought of Chris and not being able to see him anymore.
Chris was glad that whole day. Ann had made him feel something and he knew that she meant something to him he just didn't know what. She had walked into his life and demanded his attention by her moves. He no doubtly saw her dancing and craved to be the one dancing with her. He had his chance to. The feel of her body was so much more than he had ever thought about a girl. The way their bodies intertwined when they dipped. She smelled like a bed of roses and slept like an angel. What was he thinking she was the enemy and he was sitting here thinking of her? She couldn't feel the same he was just a friend to her. It was unreal. Was he falling in love with her?
Ann escaped to her room and ran to her bed. She collapsed on it and tears came to her eyes. Why was she crying though he meant nothing to her? Nothing more than a friend anyways. So what drew her to cry for him? Yes he was kind funny caring and he treated her with respect. Was he using her? No that couldn't be it he had told her that he never agreed with all this fighting. He thought it just as dumb she did. Ann rolled to her back and sobbed the tears away from her eyes and walked to her bathroom and sat on the edge of her tub while the water flowed from the faucet. She had to see him again and talk to him. She had to find out what their side thought of this war. She had to keep him from it, because she...she loved him!
Rich smiled to himself while waiting for King. (Ann's father's code name.) He pulled it off he now had control and Ann would never see that stupid Lord again. He would be free to entertain her as he pleased. She wouldn't be going out that trapdoor to see a Lord if she would leave for anything it would be for him. He'd make sure of that.
Just then King walked in and sat behind the large desk and got everything in order to find out all the little details. King knew that whatever rich was going to say that he would now have to back him. He had already given word to break the mercy agreement. He now said that it was a no mercy war and to kill any Lord's trespassing on his land. Not to mention to hear that his only child was in the middle of the fight made him all the more angrier. He was not going to stand for this. He'd kill the boy who took her from his choice man for her.
