Disclaimer: See chapter one
A/N: *Hides behind a police riot shield* I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to get this chapter out but a lot has happened. First I was going to be gone all summer but that didn't work out. Then I meet this guy and haven't had time to write. Of course there's also school that just started. If that wasn't enough to cause me not to write this chapter gave me a major case of writers' block. So here it is, if anyone still wants to read my story, the next chapter. Now last time we had our first look into Ebony's bedroom, the first dinner, and the gift of learning how to read. Now on with the story.
Chapter 6- The Truth About Henry
"It has been six months and you still have found no trace of her?" Henry spoke as calmly as he could to the tracker.
The tracker was starting to get scared for he knew Henry's moods too well. More people ended up "disappearing" when he was calm then when he was so angry that smoke came out his ears. The tracker started to speak hesitantly "M.My Lord, I have looked all over the forest, I have even gone as far as the northern area which everyone says is haunted. There was no trace of her. It is like she vanished. I am sorry my lord but perhaps you should just forget about her and."
"How dare you!"
"I...I'm sorry my lord, please don't get angry," the tracker whimpered
"You sniveling, insolent little nothing. Where do you get off, saying I should just give up on the love of my life." bellowed Henry.
"My lord, please forgive me I spoke without thinking. I meant nothing by it."
"Guards take this fool out of my site and make him disappear!"
The guards dragged the tracker away as he was begging Henry to forgive him. Henry ignored him as he sat down to think. After a few minutes a thin, tall guy walks into the room. His hands are stained with blood along with his clothes.
Henry spots him and smiles, "Oh good, Igor. Did he tell you what I want to know?"
Igor smiles evilly, "Of course he did my lord, I'm not the best without reason."
Henry nods his head, "Good, good, so where is she?"
"Far to the north. Deep within the forest lies a castle; there is where you will find your love, but beware the beast." Igor warns. Henry just laughs, "There is no beast that will keep me from my angel. It's going to take some time though to get there. I just hope my love can hold on that long . . . Igor I want you to make sure that my heart doesn't have to worry about her father anymore, understand?"
Igor nods his head, "Yes, my lord I understand completely." He then bows to Henry and walks out of the room.
Henry sits there not moving for a few minutes trying to coming up with a plan to rescue Ebony. After about twenty minutes a guard walks in a little nervous.
"My lord . . . "
Henry looks up startled, "What?"
The guard keeps his head down, "My lord . . . there's a woman at the doors . . . and . . . "
Henry stars to get impatient, "Out with it man I have better things to do then to listen to you all day."
The guard swallows hard, "Well, my lord this woman . . . well you see she says . . . that . . . umm . . . she says that it is time for you to meet your son."
Henry looks confused, "Son, I have no son. Tell this woman that I have no son and that if she comes here again both her and her child will be killed. I will not have some woman upsetting my love when I bring her home. Understand me?"
The guard nods and hurries out of the room. Henry then calls his captain into the room so that they can start planing their rescue mission.
