See now I told you that you would not have to wait as long this time for an update.

Why do people think that this is inaccurate ? I know Edward was married to Elizabeth Woodville and he is in this however I am concentrating on Richard, Jack and the others at the moment.

As to the Richard and Anne thing, yes I know he marries her but at the moment the story is taking place in 1471 he does not marry Anne till 1472 that is why I haven't had that happen yet.

To the other people who reviewed my last chapter as well as the person who was telling me that I made mistakes (they're remaining nameless) thank you so much for the reviews. I know a year is quite a while between updates and I'll try not to do that again.

Jack could not believe what he was hearing, there was no way that Marguerite could have disapeared not now not when she could finally look forward to something in her life,

"How long ago was this Anne?" Richard asked guessing correctly that Jack was not able to ask anything himself

"About an hour ago. I did not know what to do other than to come here and get you to help."

"We can't just leave her there. We've got to go and look for her." Jack said deciseively.

"We will not leave her anywhere but we can hardly charge to my dear brother Georges rooms and demand that he tells us where she is." Richard told his friend calmly.

"Richard ..." Jack said.

"Do not argue with me Sir Roxton. I shall do all that I can to ensure the safe return of Lady Marguerite but I will not put myself or Anne in any danger in the process. I hope that you understand that." Richard said a hint of the hot temper he only allowed to show very rarely registering in his voice.

"I am sorry my lord." Jack replied lowering his head slightly and not look directly at Richard, close friends as he was with Richard he often forgot that the other man was a Prince of England and could have him executed if he desired to do so.

"What are you going to do Richard?" Anne asked.

"Francis is outside and I want you to go with him to my mother, she will look after you until such a time as I can persuade Edward to allow us to marry, Jack and I will go the Herber and speak to my dear brother and convince him to tell us where Merguerite is. Jack tell Francis what has happened and tell him to send Dick Ratcliffe to Edward when he is able as I am sure that he will want to hear what has transpired here tonight." Richard said decisively, with a slight bow to his friend Jack hurried out of the church to where Francis was standing with the horses.

"what has happened Jack?" Francis asked anxiously taking in his friends flushed face.

"Clarence has Marguerite, Richard asks that you escort Lady Anne Neville to his mothers and to send Dick to the king to tell him what has happened." Jack summerised for the older man

"I presume that you and Richard are going after the lady then." Francis guessed with a slight smile on his face, he could remember a much younger version of himself and Jack listening to the stories of King Arthur and his knights intently and then proceeding to try and find monsters that they could rescue a maiden from, this situation was one that Jack would be happy with.

"You presume correctly Francis." Richard said leaving the church with one arm round Annes waist.

"Shall Anne share a horse with me?" Francis asked not sure how they were going to get round the problem of three horses and four people otherwise.

"Would that be alright with you sweetheart?" Richard asked.

"I think I can trust Francis." Anne said with a smile for the young man that she had grown up with as a brother. Francis gave Anne a grin before mounting his horse and helping Anne to sit in front of him,this was not a new thing for any of them as when they had been younger Anne had often been given rides on the horses of the young men who surrounded her when they could be sure that neither her father or mother would catch them.

"Remember to send Dick to Edward." Richard reminded his friend.

"I will not forget, you be careful as well." Francis said before nudging the horse into a quick walk and heading towards the area of the city where Richards mother was currently residing.

When Richard and Jack arrived back at the Herber they were surprised by the complete absence of any of the usual guardsmen that were found guarding the house. Richard was not unduely surprised by this as they had probably guessed what was going to happen and as such had no desire to get caught in the middle of a fight between the royal siblings and were likely to be in the nearest ale houses until such a time as they thought it was safe to venture back again.

"Clarence is likely to be drinking or with his wife." Richard said as he dismounted and hurried into the house. He did not bother mentioning the fact that he may be with Marguerite as he was sure that Jack was already aware of that fact.

"Shall we look in the study to start with then?" Jack asked. When Richard nodded he started up the stairs to where they had often met with George in the past, when they got there they could hear shouting and the sound of things breaking. Isabelle was standing by the door not daring to go in but obviously wanting to do something.

"'Bella what is going on in there?" Richard asked quietly

"That young friend of Annes, George took exception to something she said and has locked her in there, he went in there a few minutes ago and I have no idea what is happening in there now." Isabelle said looking scared, as she finnished speaking there was another crash from inside the room.

"Run back to your room Bella, Jack and I will look after Marguerite." Richard said, Bella hurried back up the corridor and once she was out of sight Richard pushed the door open and with Jack right behind him he opened the door only to stop dead at what he saw on the other side.

Sorry about the wait folks I got a bit stuck with what to do - hey at least it wasn't a year though. I'm about to come home for 5 weeks so that means unlimited internet access as well as more updates for anything that I'm writing. Hopefully another one of these as well.

Would anyone be interested in me doing more of this type of story with the characters ? If so let me know as and when you get round to reviewing subtle hint

Anyway next chapter :

What is going on behind that door.

The arrival of some familiar faces.

And that's it. Please update I would like to know what you all think
