Chapter 15:
Isabella blinked and looked around, she could swear there had been some sort of noise. It was pretty dark; she glanced at the clock 1:30. Well, she wasn't sleepy, and, couldn't go back to sleep now.
"Maybe I should go out for a walk," She thought "I have been looking forward to getting out of this bed for hours."
Soon she was in a dressing gown and walking in the dark hall. It was dark, wishing she had brought a candle Isabella wandered into the dining room. Oh, there was a candle glowing here. Who could it possibly be?
She went in closer and saw the back of a man. A man? No, it wasn't her father or her grandfather. The man suddenly turned around. By the shock of the stranger's face Isabella screamed, very loudly. The man screamed too, apparently he was surprised too.
There was a bang in the distance, silence, the sound of hurried footsteps, another bang and then more footsteps. Soon Ella and Char were at the entrance. Ella looked exasperated, Char looked confused and he was red in the face.
"What is going on here?" Ella asked
"Th-there is a strange man in our dining room!"
"Oh! I should have introduced you two! This is my father Isabella and father this is my eldest daughter, Isabella"
"P-pleasure" Peter started, he put out his hand.
Isabella blushed, but shook hands with him.
"Now, please do not scream like that ever again, you caused your father to fall of the bed, and then bang into a wall on our way here." Ella scolded
"I apologize."
"Ella, are you telling them that I am not able to manage myself?" Char asked Ella in an emotional tone of voice.
"No, of course not! What are you talking about! Is it the ogre thing again?"
"I never imagined there would be two 'things' but now there are!"
"Goodnight father, Isabella, you rest now honey, I think your father needs to rest to."
"So now you're saying that I can not tell when or when not I need to rest!"
Three eyebrows were raised at Char for his ridiculous comment, Ella put an arm around his shoulders and led him out of the dining room saying "Char, you just get some rest and everything will be better in the morning. Mandy is going to make pancakes for breakfast."
"Is breakfast time soon?" Char put his head on his wife's shoulder childishly.
As soon as they were out of the room. Sir Peter cleared his throat.
"So, Isabella," He said "I am afraid our first impression has not been very...er...good."
Isabella nodded, still to embarrassed to speak.
"Would you like to go for a walk, maybe?"
"A walk?" She finally spoke "I am not dressed right."
"It really does not matter, it is pretty dark."
"I suppose it would be nice." She said finally, although, it was odd for somebody to offer you to go for a walk at 1:30 in the morning. But she really did wish to go out in the open once again. She patted her stomach; the constant sensation was a bit irritating now.
Not long after Isabella found herself outside with her hand in a man's hand who was supposedly her grandfather but she had never met him before. All this had happened within 45 hours from the time she had found out that she was going to be a mother soon, between that time and this she had also broken a heart and her child's father had practically ignored her. Her life was full of changes.
They walked in silence. How in the world was this supposed to improve their relationship? Why was her grandfather bringing his notebook and....
"Where are we going?"
"Where ever our feet take us." Peter smiled.
It didn't seem like random walking because Peter seemed to know where he was going.
After a bit more walking the series of events that followed happened very fast.
They reached a sort of deserted barn; her grandfather pulled her into the darkness. Some sort of gas was sprayed and Isabella, for the second time in two days, fainted.
Isabella opened her eyes and looked around, she was in a barn. It was dark but there was light in the distance. Two people surrounded it, but they had their backsides facing her. Remembering what had happened she tried to get up, but noticed that her hands and feet were bound to the wooden plank she was lying on. She began to yell.
"GRANDFATHER ARE YOU HERE!!! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!!! WHERE ARE YOU?? WHERE AM I??? WHEN MY PARENTS FIND OUT YOU WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD CHOPPED OFF!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?!"
"Yes, you are Princess Isabella, or should I say Isabella since you prefer if I do." came a familiar voice and one of the figures turned around.
"Nabare?"
"That is the name my parents gave me."
"What is going on?" She forgot to be angry in her confusion.
He walked closer and kneeled down next to her.
"That is simple, your grandfather brought you here so that I could have my revenge."
"Revenge for what?"
"All my life I have wanted to be king, and you crushed that dream just as soon as I got close to achieving it."
"But what does grandfather have to do with it, we just met, and I only told you not long ago, and...and..."
"Yes, as soon as I left your room in rage I met your grandfather, he is a great friend of mine, and so I offered him money in return for you.
"What?! It was a coincidence that me and him met tonight!"
"You are seriously that naive? Who do you think woke you up?"
"But...how did you know where I was going?"
"I have a gift...you could say...of knowing things...I know about little things that will happen, never extremely big events short scenes, visions, you could say...I saw you entering the dining room in the palace."
Tears poured down Isabella's face. How could he? How could they? How could anybody be so cruel?
Nabare got up and approached Peter.
"Do you have all the papers in order?" He asked him
"Yes I do, the money. The money now!"
"Very well" Isabella heard Nabare say and there was the sound of coins being shuffled in a bag that was passed.
Footsteps, and Isabella saw Peter leave the barn with the bag full of KJs, he closed the door of the barn, as soon as he exited.
Nabare now walked over to Isabella, and sat down next to her.
"It is difficult to think that you out of any person in the world would do this, Nabare."
"It is, isn't it."
There was a menacing glare in his eyes that made a chill go through Isabella's spine.
"What are you going to do, I can tell you that you will not become a king in this barn."
"There is something else about you that I have desired apart from your royalty."
"What?!"
"Your beauty, your body. The dress you wore to the ball that night showed me most of that beauty, now I am going to see more."
"I am going to kill John." Isabella murmured.
Nabare pulled out a knife.
