AN: I fixed my story so chapter 1 is all together and a little easier to
read. Yup and that means I put two delightful chapters up today. 3 and this
one. I am dead tired.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Cinderella story amazing as that may seem :)
Chapter 4
"Oh no!" Terri exclaimed, "How did they have find me." I looked around to see
who Terri was talking about. All I saw were shelves of books but then I saw two men
dressed in blue and gold the colors of the royal guard.
"Terri? Are you in trouble?" I asked
"No.well yes,"
I took a step back. He noticed my sudden uneasiness. " I'm not a criminal. You
don't need to be afraid of me." he said, "Please believe me." I stared at Terri. Meanwhile
the guards were getting closer. I made a decision. "Follow me," I motioned to Terri, " I
know a place where you can hide."
We raced through the library. One guard gave a loud shout. Terri had been spotted. I
speed up Terri close behind. We swerved through the shelves the guards right behind us.
I had the advantage though. While the guards were just charging aimlessly after us I
knew exactly where I was. We ran a little longer until we came to a row of desks and
large armchairs. I grabbed Terri's arm and threw him under a desk then grabbed an
armchair. I sat it in front of Terri, grabbed a book and plopped down. A second later the
two guards rushed in.
"Have you seen a young man?" One of them questioned
"Did he have dark brown hair?" I asked.
"Yes," the other guard said sounding hopeful.
"He just ran through a couple of seconds ago. He went that way," I said pointing to
the left. The guards ran in the direction I indicated.
"Those guards are real dense," I said breathing a sigh of relief "I seriously didn't
think they would fall for it. But it was worth a try and I don't think I could've run any
more."
"Me either," Terri gasped. He pushed the chair out of the way and got out of his
hiding spot. "Thanks" He smiled.
"Don't thank me just yet. Those guards are still looking for you. I know a place you
can stay for a little while at least until they leave,"
"Lead on fair lady."
We walked to a corner of the library and began to climb a ladder. Terri followed me
up. So far he hadn't said a thing. That was probably good because he was going to be
answering a whole lot of questions soon and he needed to save his breath.
"Were are we?" Terri asked when we finally reached the top.
"My window perch. Technically its not mine but I'm the only one who comes here
so I consider it mine." I replied a little embarrassed by my rambling. He didn't notice.
"This place is amazing" he continued looking out the window to the street below.
"Alright it's time you started to explain things," I said trying to remain calm but
failing. He gave me a sad sort of wistful look.
"I can't I'm sorry"
I wasn't paying any attention to him though. I was watching the street. Marta had
just stormed out of my house and began walking towards the library. I could tell by the
way she was practically stomping across that she was angry.
"I have to go," I said quickly.
"Why?"
"I wont ask about the guards again if you don't ask about this." I said hoping he
wouldn't press the matter.
"Fine."
"You can stay here as long as you want. See you later?"
"Of course"
"Bye" I slipped down the ladder and out of sight.
AN: thank you so much for reading. Please review!!!!!
