Chapter 6: The Kidnapping.
Elise had received another client. Her work was done in a week and was ready to be delivered to her client. Placing her work in a bag, she walks out of her art room.
Grant was outside, near the stables. He has straps a saddle on Elise's horse, making sure the it was on right.
His fiancée walks out to him and smiles. "Is she ready to go?"
The prince smiles and looks at his love. "Yes. I made sure the saddle is on tight." Elise walks up to Grant and hugs him. He smiles and hugs her back. "Be careful."
Elise smiles at him, her emerald eyes shines. "I will." Grant gives Elise a quick peck on the lips before helping her on Charm's back. Elise's Bodyguard strolls out of the stable on his horse.
He looks at her. "Ready to go, mademoiselle?"
She smiles and nods. She then looks at Grant. "I'll see you when we get back home." Her and her bodyguard leaves the castle grounds.
Martha watches from the Library. "I hope you enjoyed that kiss, commoner. Because you won't be doing it again."
Half an hour later, Elise and her Body Guard was near the edge of the forest. They rode in a comfortable silent. The sounds of the forest was really relaxing to the both of them. Then the bodyguard pulls on his horse's reins, staring at a hooded stranger in the middle of the road. Elise pulls on Charm's reins when she saw what caused her bodyguard to stop.
The stranger looks up at Elise. "I've missed you, Princess." Elise looks at him with wide eyes.
Her bodyguard looks at her. "You know this man, mademoiselle?"
She glances at him. "He was at the castle a week ago."
The stranger smirks. "I'm glad I managed to see you again. I wanted to show you something."
The bodyguard looks at Elise to see as discomfort expression. He then hops off of his horse and blocks the stranger path from her. "Sorry, Mon ami. But you will not show her anything."
The stranger's smirks turns into a frown. "You sir will have no say in what will happen."
Elise backs Charm up. "Happen?"
Her bodyguard looks back to her. "Mademoiselle, run! Get back to the castle."
She looks at him. "But..."
He grits his teeth. "GO!"
Elise grabs Charm's reins and pulls back on then to get her to turn around quickly before having the pitch black mare take off in a full gallop.
The stranger smirks as he watches the woman flea
The Bodyguard glare and grits his teeth at the stranger.
Elise was racing through the forest. Having her horse gallop on the path they came from. It seems about twenty minutes when Elise had stopped Charm figured that she was far away enough. Seeing the castle was still far she sighs. Looking back where the Bodyguard was she felt guilty leaving him back with that man. Charm started to whiney in fright and rearing up, causing Elise to fall out of the Saddle. When she hit the ground, she immediately blacked out.
Charm bucked and destroyed the painting that Elise dropped when the mare started to rear. When the horse stopped bucking it ran off in the forest.
The stranger walks up to the unconscious woman and picks her up and smirks.
