What if…
Chapter 3: the secret in the forest.
-Good morning, monsieur.
-Good morning, shall we go now?-Oscar asked the old men, after all night long she had been thinking, she really want to get out of this place…
-Just wait a few minutes for my daughter, you know how much time women need to prepare-said the old man when smiling
-Miss Soulain is going with us too?
-Of course, she must help me with my business at Paris…ah, here she is…what took you so long?
-Sorry father…I was just…-she blushed, woman always look lovely when she blush, that will make a strong effect on the man while looking at her…and all the men was looking at Eliza now, including André…
"Why does she usually blush?" Oscar though "or her cheeks were rouged?" now she was staring at her herself "but why she have to make up? She want to look more beatifull? For whom?" she kept asking herself untill the old man said:
-Oh, commander, I see you're interested with my daughter-he noticed Oscar's look, everybody noticed it, but only the old man could think of this reason…-hmm, this's an honor for us…
-Father!- Eliza said when the French guards was trying their best to not to laugh…
-Ok, we should go now, we don't want to be late!-Oscar said,and like usual, everyone followed her command…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Are you sure this's the right way?-Oscar asked when they were walking in the forest, yup, in the forest again, and this's a familiar spectacle…
-Yes…yes, commander, I'm sure!
-Commander, there must be something wrong…-Alain whispered to Oscar-I don't know but I don't feel good about all this…
-I knew-she replied-I have that feeling too…-but she was looking at that young, lovely girl now was sitting on the carriage… once in a while, Eliza stole a glance at André…and of course Oscar saw that…And Alain saw Oscar was looking fixedly at that girl…
-Commander, who are you looking at?-Alain asked with a snigger
-What do you think?
-Think about what? Oh, that young woman? Well, she's beautiful, indeed, with that long straight hair, those shyly eyes, those rosy checks…
-Ouch!-someone creamed…
Eliza had fell out from the carriage, even it was walking really slowly…
-Are you ok?-André helped her up, cause he was the one was walking nearest the carriage…
-Are you ok, miss?-Oscar asked
-Oh, I'm find…but-she said when she was standing up, her voice was a little strange, or should I say…stronger, not like a fragile woman's voice, but like a young man's voice…
-Pardon me, miss?
-Oh, I'm not "miss"!- "she" said when taking out the sword "she" had hid in the carrige-HUYYYYYYYYYYYYT!- after "her" sign, there must be hundred men jump out of their hiding place…from the trees, from the ground…so many men armed to the teeth…the French guards had guns and weapons themselves, but they couldn't handle with this much people…we can say they are in the critical situation…
-Hmm, I can see you're not a woman!-Alain said-no woman have that small bust!-he laughed, and all the French guards laughed. What can I say, they are French guards, and they were scare of nothing, not of their tough commander, definitely not of those commoners…
-Yeah, you need a better disguise next time!-Lasalle said-maybe you need two bigger oranges for..you know…-and they laughed lowder
-Shut up!- "she" shouted- this's not a comedy! You are my hostages!
-May I ask whose hostages I'm?-Oscar said, she was laughing herself
-My name's Elie, and I remember you said your name's Oscar Francois de dayayes
-It's Oscar Francois de Jarjayes!
-Whatever! I only need to know you are the colonel of the Frend guards!-Elie said when he was walking arround her-hmm, you're my most precious hostage!-and he stop in front of her-ok, guys! Let take them all to our secret base!-said when he was looking straght into her eyes…
-Is that your opinion about beautifull woman, Alain?-Oscar whisper to Alain, at last, she got her revenge after he had teased her and André…

"How could I not notied this? I should have seen his plan right after that told man leaded us to the forest. I should have known he's not a woman right after talking to him…what had happened to me? I lost my estimate…because of what? Oh, Oscar..what was happening?" Oscar was sitting in the dark and thinking. She had been isolated from her men and been confined in a dark room…"this's not time for worry, I have to get out of here and find them." She stood up, yes that's the Oscar we knew! She looked around, too dark to see anything. She touched the wall and groped her way in the dark…then she found something…a door-handle? Oscar held it tight and tried so hard to pull…"dawn it!" she punched at the wall, nothing had moved
-Stop bother me!
She heard something behind the wall…
-But…
-No but!
That's Elie's voice, Oscar pressed her ear against the wall…
-There's "but"! what will we do now? We have the commander of the French guards, and you don't know what to do with him?
-I will know! Let me think and stop annoying me!!!
-Elie!
-Let me think, OK?
Oh, that meant he had caught her and her men by lucky? In other words, she had made herself get into his trap that even he didn't know about it? "what's wrong with me? I could never be stupid like that! The jealousness had blinded me!" and she stopped right there "jealousness?" she been flabbergasted by herself "jealousness?". Oscar's mind was blank now, she couldn't believe she had thought about that, "jealousness?". But before she got her lucidity back, the door was opened. The light had blinded her for a moment, but she quickly realized that's Elie and some of his companions.
-Commander, we have something to ask!
-But I don't have anything to tell you!-Oscar said glacially
-You have! And you'll tell us!- Elie said when swinging a long rod, Oscar fleered, she knew that old trick, it worked with timid people, scare them to death and made them tell everything, every secret…
-Well, ask me and you will see!
-We want guns!
-Ok, go out and buy! Oh, you want me introduce some traders to you?
-No!-Elie shouted and whipped the ground-we want you lead us to the military weapon storehouse!
-Do you believe that rod can scare me?
-Ok, we don't have time to talk! Get to work, men!
After those words, five men with swords and knives charged toward Oscar…
To be continued
Note : I intended to make Oscar jealous and end this fic at chapter 3. But... let the old men lead them to paris? Hmm, not funny at all…not an ending I want. So, I had to let them stay in the forest again, and turned the lovely Eliza to a man named Elie :) . look like this fic will be longer than I thought...
