Chapter Nine: Jump in with both feet
Snow was up to the windows when Alanna returned. She was sleeping peacefully in her chambers, when Elizabeth went to see her. Her red thick curls flung out in fan around her head, and her face looked older some how, and some way. You just looked older. She thought as she smiled at her sleeping friend; her wedding was in a couple days and they had to get back as soon as possible.
Princess Thayet had left for the day and would not return until tomorrow she was going for a ride and would be back in time for them to leave. The wind whipped around her as she rode. Nothing but her thoughts filled her head nothing but the dreams she had before she came here.
Elizabeth pulled her horse to a halt, and looked over the ocean how could something so far away look like her home; her beautiful earth. The time chased away, and Elizabeth decided that she was going to jump in both feet first into this great adventure, and she was going with the others away to Tortall and the wedding.
…………
Elizabeth stood looking at her-self in the mirror. Princess Thayet would be presented to the court and Jonathan would fall for her; like so many people said he would. Even thought she was no divorced form Baron George Copper, people still loved Thayet. Elizabeth loved Jonathan so much, so why would anyone do that to her, but what they had was in the past. A small ball of light came out of the mirror and Elizabeth could not look away but could only stare.
Annie her dress maid entered the room and howled. She had been hit bye an un-known force rapping it's self around the young duchess.
"My Grace!" the maid screamed. "Fight, duchess don't let them take you with out a fight duchess!"
But she was already in the mirror, being poisoned into a deep sleep. Annie was now on her feet, watching her lady, her mistress get drugged and put to sleep. She was beautiful more then even the new princess, but she was now in another place, in a bed of sliver and white roses. Even thought its beauty hid the evil magic radiated from that place where she slept. Weirdly enough Annie knew someone above would watch over her, then it hit her the King of Tyra and his wife should now what a happened. Annie fled down to the ball below; she flew into the chamber just as the nobles were about to eat and Annie ran toward her King.
"King Jacob, Queen Alanna! HELP your majesties he has taken, her grace. He's token herrrr…"
With that Annie collapsed and a server caught her. The room was a flutter, what was this maid speaking of? Was the question most nobles had.
A figure in black smoke appeared in the chaos, chatter and toke form of a man dressed in black. With long glossy straight black hair and black eyes, he had a felling of sadness fallow him like a pack of hunting dogs on a rabbit. He starred the young King down and finally spoke after ten long minutes.
"King of Tyra, Many blessings. I have token what should have been mine all along; the duchess of willow wood. She lies dying in a bed of roses…"
With a wave of his hand an image of the young duchess appeared floating above a pool of water on the floor.
'Don't hurt her." Jake yelled
"I willn't, but we will see." With that the dark god was gone
"No Mia, my sweet little Mia." Whispered the Prince of Tortall to him-self.
