Chapter 3
Disclamer:I do not own the Thief..all i own is Elizabeth and the king
It was dark that night as the clouds covered up the moon. It was late when Elizabeth went to bed because she was worried about what tomorrow would bring.
Out side her castle window, which was on the third floor, was some trees that stood stiff in the hard blowing wind. You could just see shadows and there was one that was moving. The shadow started swinging something in the air then let it go, it flew up to the window, and the hook that was on the end of this rope crashed threw the glass and hooked on the bottom of the window.
Of course this woke up our Princess, Elizabeth, and she did not know what had made that sound. She took out a matchbox and lit a match, she took the match and lit her candle and saw there was glass all over her floor by the window. She walked over to the window and and saw the hook stuck on the bottom of the window. She looked down the side of the castle to see what was on the end of this rope, but saw nothing, she couldn't see the end of the rope, for if she wished to she would lean out to far and fall three storys. She tried to unhook the hook but was to heavy for her to move it, she thought nothing of this, she thought it might be Prince John taking her to marry sooner then the date that was set.
She walked back to her bed and laid down but kept the candle on,after a little while she slowly dosed off, and so did the candle in the wind.
The next time she woke up she had a cloth over her mouth, and it was still dark, and also dark in the room, because the candle blew out.
"Keep quite" said the voice "I gotta dagger in my sheath and I won't be worried to use it"
The Princess started to try to talk through the cloth.
"I'll take of the cloth" the voice said "but you'd better not scream
Elizabeth nooded her head and he slowly took off the cloth from her mouth.
"What do you want with me?" she asked
"Ah, your that stupid?" said the voice,by this time Elizabeth could tell it was a man. "Your a bloody Princess"
"Oh, so you want money?"
"More or less"
"What do you mean?"
"Elizabeth!" called a voice down the hall. "Elizabeth are you alright?" Elizabeth new this voice, it was her father.
"Jump out the window" the man said
"What?!" she said sounding suprised
The man took Elizabeth by the waist and shimmied down the castle wall.
"Get on my back" the man said alittle out of breath
"I won't- Hey! Put me down this instant!" She yelled
"Shut up women, remember my dagger?" he replied
Elizabeth then became quite, thoughts running threw her head, a little faster then this man was running, when will I go home? When will I be able to get away from this guy? Who is he?
The man then slowed down and sat Elizabeth down.
"See that over there?" said the man pointing to a shack "Thats where we live"
Elizabeth then stared at this man like he was crazy.
They both walked into the shack, when they got inside there was a water pump on the right cornor and in the far right corner was a bed and on the far left corner there was a bed. There was plates stacked in the left corner.
"You sleep there" the man said pointing to the far left corner bed
"My i ask who you are?" Elizabeth asked staring at the man who was wearing all black for the stealthy purpose in the dark woods.
The man did not replie
"Is your name John?" she asked
He lit more candles in the shack, about two more and they brightened the place a bit, you could now see there was drit for a floor.
As the man stood there he looked at Elizabeth but she could not see his face because of the hood, he slowly raised his hands and while taking off the hood he said "Why people call me....The Theif"
