One hour later.

Graham's POV

For the last hour Emma has been clutching her knee in pain.

Also for the last hour I've been waiting for her to move so I can look at it.

I put my hand one her forehead.

I expect to feel warmth like I did before, but now I feel full on heat.

She was burning up.

"Oh my god Emma!" I whisper.

I remove my hand, Emma must have felt it it because she moves her hand to her face.

This is my chance, I think to myself.

I move her a little so she Is lying on her back instead of her side.

She has been sleeping for 2 hours straight, and she slept for almost 9 hours last night which means Emma has slept for about 11 hours.

I pull her pant leg up and gasp.

I sees cut, about 4 and a half inch long bleeding gash.

At the sight of that and the condition Emma is in I start to get really worried, really really worried.

I take out one of our extra shirts and rip it to make Emma a bandage.

I take the fabric, rap it around her leg, and tie it.

I grab my satchel which has all of our belongings in it:

A knife a pair of pants, a piece of bread, a water flask, and a cloth.

Then I pick Emma up so that I'm carrying her like a baby.

I start walking keeping my eyes open to look for help.

Graham's POV

It's been a while and my legs are starting to hurt.

Don't give up, I tell myself, help Emma, Help Emma.

Then, as if on cue, I see something in the distance.

To my astonishment, yet horror it's a castle.

I start to walk faster and closer to it carefully and quietly

I need to go in! I think to myself.

What if this castle is the Evil Queen's, and she recognizes Emma.

Then I remember that no matter who's castle it is the Evil Queen might find out!

I take off Emma's hat, which reveals her braid.

Looking at her hair length it shows me how long we have actually been in the forest.

Her hair goes down to her hips.

I grab her braid and my knife.

It pains me to do this but, Emma's life is on the line so I need to.

I cut of her braid, my beautiful princess now looks more like a prince.

Then I run to the castle gate with my disguised princess in my hands.
