Chapter 7 Running off

Its December 21st and the snow is falling as I look out the window it's been two months since Henry made me stay with him, we left Gloucestershire and moved to London it's very different here I have rules to follow.

I am not allowed to help the maids.

I am not allowed to leave the house without Henrys consent and if so I am not allowed to go alone.

I have a dinner and bed times.

I have followers that follow me everywhere.

If I did not have Mary I really do not know how I would survive she's so nice to me and her daughters Kate, Jane, Anna, Lizzy and Molly are so sweet to me. I very rarely see Henry I have not spoke more than two sentences to him since we got here, I sometimes see him watching me through the window when I am outside or he will pass me in the corridors and smile but that is about it.

Mary walks into the room with Kate and Molly "Adele ... would you like to take a walk?" Mary asks softly.

"Yes ... that would be nice" I say, smiling at them.

"Kate, Molly will you go and ask Mr. York if Adele's allowed to take a walk?... and tell him it will be with me, and you two" Mary asks, smiling at them.

"Yes ... Mother" they both says, hurrying out the door.

I sigh looking at Mary "I really do not see why I have to ask every time I want to go anywhere" I say irritated.

"I know he's just looking after you" she says, sitting down on a chair in front of the fire.

I sit down be side her and knot my fingers together "Do you really think so" I whisper, looking down at my hands.

I can feel her looking at me she reaches over and squeezing my hand "I do not think he will hurt you Adele" she says.

Then the door opens Kate and Molly walks in they both have sad smiles on there faces "He said no ..."

I sigh rolling my eye's irritated then stand up, I walk over to the window "It's not that far down" I say to myself in my head looking down at the floor. There is vines growing on to house I could climb on to, Mary, Kate and Molly are talking about something then I turn and look at them wondering if this is a good idea. I look outside again and pull the window up, I can feel the cold blowing in "What are you doing Adele?" Mary asks. Then I start to climb out the window with one leg and then grab hold of one of the vines I grin back and them. By the time they get to the window to stop me I am halfway down once I get to the floor I start to run. I run along the house down the steps into the garden I can hear Mary shouting my name and it makes me laugh oh this is fun!

I run for so long I find a very big pound that has frozen over, everything is covered in snow It's like a beautiful blanket of icing that goes on for mile after mile. It so cold but I really do not care I get to be on my own. I sink to the floor and stare up at the sky, I am going to be in so much trouble when I get back and it makes me grin. I am only wearing a dress my hair cold and wet down my back I lay there for some time I start to hear people shouting my name so I sit up.

Oh no! People are calling my name what if Henrys shouted at Mary or worst killed her for not stopping me suddenly this is not fun anymore. I get to my feet I rap my arms around me and start to walk back to the house. I see Mary, Kate and Jane stood talking and when Jane looks at me they both follow her gaze to me. I walk up the steps slowly wearily they all look irritated at me, I am wet head to toe, cold and hungry.

"What the hell were you playing at" Mary scolds me she really dose remind me of my mother something.

"I ..." I mumble

"Look at you are frozen to the bone" she says, walking to me taking me into the house.

"You know that Henry sent six other men out to look for you" Kate says, walking be the side me.

"And even Henrys looking for you" Jane say, walking next to her mother.

I feel my face pale Oh no, I really did not think this through what do I do? What do I say to him?.

"Kate and Jane go and find Christian and tell him that we found her" Mary says, Irritated.

"I'm in so much trouble" I whisper.

"Don't worry about that now; we need to get you warm and some new clothes"

After I am dressed and a little bit warmer I stand waiting for Henry to get back, Christian is stood watching my every move by the double doors I think it just encase I run off again. I can hear muffled voice in the hall way and my heart starts to pound then the door opens Henry walks in with a goblet, anger written all over his face. He nodes at Christian, and he leaves the room then gears at Mary sitting in the chair next to the fire.

"Leave" He orders, Mary looks at him then get out her chair and walk out the room.

"Don't be mad at Mary ..." I whisper, looking down at my knotted fingers.

"Sit" He commands, pointing at the seat in front of him.

I sit down not looking him in the face, I just cannot look up at him I am too scared all I can see are his legs, he steps back and sits down I can feel him staring at me. I stare at my knotted fingers I see from the corner of my eye that he takes a long swig of his drink and then slams the goblet down onto the table making me jump.

"So you decided to run off" he asks, coldly.

"S...S...Sorry" I stumble out, because that all I can say.

"You're sorry for what ... Adele?" He snaps

"For running off ... I" I say, Shrugging my shoulders still staring at my knotted fingers.

"I said NO! For a reason... but you defied me why?" He snarls.

"I ... I ... Was not thinking ... I" Words fail me.

"Look at me" he orders.

I look up at him through my lashes I can feel tries in the backs of my eyes, he's staring at me with fury in his eyes. The next think I know he gets up and leans both hand on the arms of my chair and leans his face in "You ever do that again ... I've been nice to you... do not push me" He says, so softly It makes my blood run cold he stand looking at me them walks out of the room.

I went to alton towers about two weeks ago and for the first time walked round the gardens and I just could imagine a woman running round there with long hair and a 16th century dress. That is where I got the inspiration for this one :D
