Bonjour mes copains. If you don't speak French I just said hello my friends. Well here's the next chapter you've been waiting for. Sorry I haven't been online as often as you want me to but I'm here now. So here it is. Read and Review!
Ella and Bella lead Misty, Ash and Alex into the downstairs dungeon where they had last saw May and Sarah.
"It's impossible." Bella said worried. She looked at the empty prison as Misty entered the open prison. The window above them light shined through.
"She was right there last night." Ella said to Ash. "Oh you've got to believe us."
"Don't worry."
Ash said, "We believe you."
"We do?" Alex said.
"Yes. Why would they be lying? They've already risked so much already." Ash then turned to Bella and Ella and said to them, "We'll do whatever we can to protect your farm."
"Hey guys. I think you'd want to see this right now." Misty said aloud. Ash and Alex walked into the prison cell where Misty held up a quill pen smirking.
"Ummm okay." Alex said. "How's that supposed to help us find May?"
"It's not." Misty said, "But it does prove that May was here. The ink is still wet. Look at this." Misty held up a small chain.
"Do you remember this, Ash?" Ash smiled and took the chain from Misty's hand.
"She still has it."
"It's just a small chain."
"Yea but it was a gift from Me and Ash on May's 13th birthday. You know she seen the necklace and couldn't afford it so we went back to the store and bought it for her. But it wasn't expensive."
"It's broken." Ash said.
"Sarah." Alex and Misty said together.
"She must've ripped it off her neck."
"I hate her." Alex said.
"The feelings mutual." Ash said and put the necklace in his pocket.
"Now for the big question: Where could she have taken May in bright daylight?" Misty said aloud.
"It has to be somewhere the guard wouldn't see her or May."
"Then she couldn't even get to her room. Guards are everywhere."
"There are no guards in the servants' quarters." Bella said.
"They never check the servants' quarters." Ella said.
"Never?" Bella and Ella shook her head.
Drew was out since morning with his horse. Everytime he felt like this he would leave all the pressures of palace life and go to a secret place where the people never called him 'your highness' or 'sire'. NO one ever would find him lurking around the servants' quarters. Only few servants found him here walking his horse. Yes it was the best grazing area the horses so allowed so it was the best place.
"Aiden. Everything has changed for the worst. My coronation is in a week and I've gotta find May and have her explain this to me. She can't mean what she said in the note. She just can't. It's either that or marry Sarah." The horse neighed loudly and moved his snout. "I know. I don't like her either. There's got to be something I could do."
Sarah had forced May to wear a hooded dress where her face was fully covered. Not an inch of skin showed through the dress. "Sarah, when can I take off the hood?"
"Shh…" Sarah said. "I told you not speak."
"But Sarah." May was shushed again.
"You can take it off when you get out of the castle walls."
"Promise me that I'll get home safe." May said aloud.
"Oh just get in the carriage." Sarah pushed her in the carriage and told the carriage driver to drive on. It did and May sat in the carriage still crying. She couldn't believe she was doing this. She looked out the window of the carriage and imagined that she seen a green head of hair. Green hair only runs in rich and royal families. But she turned away thinking it was just a bush or something she was imagining. It couldn't have been Drew. What would Drew be doing in the servants' quarters. She looked back at the castle and whispered the words, "I love you, Drew."
Sarah watched the carriage leave and she smirked. "The cat barks at noon." All of a sudden, a man appeared from a hidden door in the servants quarter.
"You rang, your highness," he kissed her hand.
"You better be worth all that you're charging."
"Well I am the best."
"Hmmm… all you have to do is hit her in the neck with the bow."
"That's it, princess."
"No. The bow has to be on fire."
"Fire, princess?"
"Yes fire. So that if you miss, she'd at least burn to death."
"I won't miss your highness."
"You better not." Sarah rolled her eyes. He lit his bow on fire like she said. He stood in his stance to take the shot. "You've only got one shot before May screams."
"May? You mean the princess."
"So you've heard."
"Everyone's heard. I can't kill the princess!" he said in a shushed tone.
"I paid you to kill her."
"You paid me to murder someone not assassinate royalty."
"She's not royal."
"Hey, when the royals find out, they'll murder me."
"They won't find out! Plus I'll protect you when I'm queen." He went into his pocket and gave her the small bag of coins.
"Here's your money back."
"Give me that!" she quickly grabbed the bow and arrow and shot the carriage. When she missed May's neck, she cursed but the fire quickly spread around the carriage.
When fire spread through the carriage, May screamed. She tried moving away from the fire in the carriage. The fire quickly surrounded her and she screamed at the driver saying, "Sir. Stop the carriage. It's on fire." What she didn't know was that the driver jumped right after the carriage was on fire. May reached from the door to jump out but the door was sealed shut. May screamed even louder hoping someone would hear her.
Drew knew he heard a scream. He knew that voice. He put it aside thinking it was fake. When the scream was louder, he realized that it was May. He turned to see a carriage on fire. He jumped on his horse and ran him to the front of the carriage. Drew cut the strings where the horses were connected to the carriage. The horses ran and the carriage stopped.
"May, Calm down."
"Drew is that you?"
"Yes, May. Just stay calm."
"I'm trying!" Drew tried to pull the door open. It didn't work. He tried again. Drew used all his strength to bust open the door. He leaped off his horse and jumped into the carriage.
Well that's the end! Please review! S'il te Plait! That's Please in French. Au Revior! Or Goodbye!
