Chapter 4 After a bit...
Dimitri gently placed anna on his horse, wrapping her in a wool blanket he had brought with him. He sighed slightly, but was quite relieved that the pretty maiden was kind hearted, and not cold and dark like most princesses.
Rose sighed as she leaned against the prince's back. She was cold, and was also drifting in and out of consiousness due to the fact that she wasn't used to the night air. She shivered slightly, even though she was covered in fur, and her wet curls of hair hung well past her ankles, and was whipping about slightly in the wind.
Dimitri smiled as a lock of the lady's hair gently fluttered into his face. Her hair had the scent of cool clean water, and roses. He wondered for the hundredth time if her name was really Anna Maria, but decided not to ask, considering that he had just taken her away from her home...or was it her jail?
Sighing slightly, rose looked at the moon, longing for the feeling of water swirling around her. She heard Dimitri mumble something like "Well, this is my home." But she was not sure considering that she was still not completely in a state of consiousness. She was aware, however, that he had taken her into his arms, and was lifting her up to go somewhere.
Dimitri gently lifted Anna off of his steed, and gently brought her into a lavish room in the castle where she could stay. He gently placed her on the soft downy bed, and smiled at her unconscious form. Her raven hair was flowing around her legs and chest like an inky waterfall, and her blood red mouth was poised in a slight smile. Thich eye lashes inhanced her beautiful eyes, and her slender legs, torso, and arms were nearly visible underneath her light pink dress.
Rose continued to remain nearly motionless, but remembered waking up, and seeing Dimitri asleep in a chair beside her bed. She sighed as she realized she had a fever, and pulled the blanket tighter around her, before slipping into blackness once more.
