Chapter Four
It was dark outside my father and Robert had just said goodnight to me but I won't stay in bed. I walked to my door and opened it. I had to get a key to open the door that was behind the house. I slowly tip toed downstairs looking around and making sure I don't get caught. I reached down stairs and walked to the living room
I quickly ran past it and into my dads office. I ran to his desk and opened his front drawer I lifted up some papers and grabbed the key as I put the papers down one caught my eye. I grabbed and read it...
'''''Town Thief Arrested He Was Accused Of Messing With The Kings Daughter. The King Arrested Him Himself And Declared For Everyone In Town To Despise Him. The Town Thief Will Never Show His Face Here Again."""
What?! My dad did this. Sparks really is in jail! But...my own dad arrestrd him! Knowing I love him more then anything! I folded the paper and put it in my pocket. I closed his drawer and ran out the room and ran outside. I looked around and ran behind the house. I saw a door. I grabbed the key and opened it. It was dark inside.
"Copper?" I whispered. I heard a horse cry and Copper came running out he licked my face and I lifted my hoodie.
"Ready to go." I whispered. He nodded and I closed the door. I then walked to the front of the house with Copper behind me. I stopped when I saw the guards.
"What should we do about them?" I ask. Copper looks at them then grabs my sweater he runs back the house and I follow him. He points to the door I open it and see darkness and then I hear more horse cries. I smiled an Idea has just crossed my mind.
"Good thinking." I whisper to Copper. I walk inside and see some horses I grab two of the horses ropes and drag them outside and close the door. I walk back with the horses behind me I then stop when I see the guards.
"I hope this works." I mumble to myself. I let the horses go and then hit them they gave a horse cry and ran forward. The guards see and chase them. I smile and run out into the gate I laugh alittle as I see the guards chasing the horses. I got ontop of Copper and he took of running.
"Yes!" I yelled. He ran passed the town as I led him. I knew exacly where the dungeon was. But I just can't believe what my dad did. He lied to me yes but he told me Sparks was dead! I'm going to see how he is I just hope my dad didn't tell the dungeon guards that I wasn't allowed so I can be allowed inside.
I holded on tightly to copper as he ran faster. The wind hit my fave and I closed my eyes. I will be there soon. When we got there Copper stopped and I got off I stretched and grabbed Copper.
"Stay here." I whispered he nodded and I clutched my hoodie tightly and walked up to the big tower. The tower was huge and fire torches were lit everywhere. I took a deep breath and walked up to the guards.
"Who goes there!" One yelled. I stopped and let my hoodie fall.
"Lady Nova." Said one. I smiled and they kneeled down.
"What brings you here?" One asks.
"I-I came to meet up with someone." I say. They nod and let me pass. I sigh and walk trough the doors I walk into the dark hallways and reach a room with several guards.
"Lady Nova!" One yells they all kneel and I smile. This is the first time I'm actually happy to be a princess.
"I'm here to see the Town Thief." I say some gasp.
"Why-" "Don't question me! I here to see him." They stand and nod. I smile.
"He will take you to a room to meet up with him." Said a guard I nodded and I followed him. He walked me through some hallways then through the cage cells. Some men whistled and tried to touch me.
"Have some respect!" Yelled the guard as he hit the cells with his torch. I looked at every single cell and sparks wasn't in it. I walked through a metal door it only had one small window. Then the guard led me into a room.
"Where is the Town thief?" I ask.
"He was taken to another room...he was known as very dangerous." He said.
"Oh." "Do you wsnt me to be here when your talking to him?" He asks.
"No...I wish to speak to him privatly." I say he nods and leaves me in the room and closes the door. I look around the room and see it had only two small windows where the moons light came in. It had a bed in against the wall in the middle of the wall.
i sighed the room had no light just the light of the moon. I looked around and walked to a dark corner. I touched the cold wall.
"No!" Someone yelled. I turned around and heard more screams.
"I said no!" Someone yelled again. The door was open and Two guards came in carring Sparks I gasped.
"I don't want to see anyone!" He yelled. The guards threw him on the floor and closed the door i heard a click they must have locked it.
"Open up...I want to go back to my cell!" He yelled. He punched and kicked the door.
"I don't want to se anyone don't you understand!" He yelled. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the dark corner.
"Not even me." I said. He was in the middle of punching th door but he stopped. He stayed still and one of fists shook.
"Not even me." I repeat. He slowly turned around and looked at me. I saw his clothes were torn and dirty I looked at his still covered face. But...if his clothes were torn was it because he was being tortured.
I had tears in my eyes and he just stared. He shook his head then ran to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back and the tears came down.
"Sparks." I whispered. He gripped me tightly and I smiled for the first time.
"Nova...I thought I would never see you again." He whispered. I broke the hug and looked at his covered face.
"I thought that too." I said. He hugged me again and I clenched his sweater never wanting to let him go. My heart was beating nornally now not to fast or to slow and I felt warm and happy. Never cold and sad like I did this morning. He broke the hug and looked at me.
"How did you know I was here?" He asked.
"Copper told me well...he showed me." I said.
"He's a smart horse..." he said I nodded.
"I thought you were dead." I whispered.
"Why would you think that?" He asked.
"My dad told me that...he told me that you left me...he said that he offered you money and that you took it and left...Then he said you were dead." I said.
"Never...I never accepted the money." He said.
"He did offer you money?" I ask he nodded. "I didn't accept and when I didn't he send me here...its torture here Nova...especially being away from you." He said.
I smiled and hugged him.
My life is horrible without you." I whispered we broke the hug and looked at eachother. I reached up to take off his hoodie but he turned his head.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"N-Nothing." He replied.
"Can you take off your hood and bandana?" I asked him but he stayed quiet.
"Sparks..." I lifted my hand to take off his hood I slid it off then slid down his bandana he turned to face me and I gasped. It scared me. I looked at his cracked head and dirty fur he had punches here and there and some dried fur all around his face. I saw his one black eye and the once white part now dirty and brown.
"Sparks!...what happened?" I yelped.
"N-Nothing Nova." He said.
"What do you mean nothing! Look at you!" I yelled.
Did my dad order this?" I asked. He hesatated but nodded.
"Everyday..." he said. I shook my head. Sparks has to live in the dungeon and still has to get beaten! No! Look at him he could die if he keeps living like this.
"Sparks.", I whispered worringly and rubbed his cheek he flinched and I stopped. His while face must hurt.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"You have nothing to be sorry about...I'm the one that chose this life." He said.
"This is all my fualt...if only I wasn't so stuborn...I should of stayed away from you like you told me to." I said.
"No...I know I'm here and I get beaten but...I will always treasure the time we were together." He said I loked at him.
"Me too Sparks...I love you so much." I whispered.
"I love you too...never forget it." He wgispered. He leaned down and captured my lips in a kiss. He kissed me with passion and love and I will never forget this kiss. It may be our last...a tear ran down my both of my cheeks.
Sparks grabbed my waist and I wrapped my arm around him tightly never wanting to stop. He wrapped his tail around me and holded me tightly. He broke the kiss for a second and then kissed me again. He lifted me up and carried me to the bed. He fell on it with me on top. He kept kissing me eagerly and I kissed back despertaly. We broke the kiss for air and we looked at eachother.
"I love you." He whispered.
"Me too." I whispered back. I laid my head on his chest and gripped his sweater. I want to stay like this forever and not let go. I knew the guards wouldn't interupt since I'm the princess and I boss them around. I sighed and Sparks lifted my head to look at him. "Are you ok?" He asked. I shook my head.
"No,...I keep thinking this is our last time together Sparks...and I can't stand it." I said. He grabbed me and kissed me softly then stopped and looked at me.
"Don't think that...were here now Nova...together. I love you and let's be happy for now." He said. I smiled.
"I love your smile." He whispered. I blushed alittle and he kissed me again. Then there was a knock at the door.
"Lady Nova." Someone said. I stood up and sparks did too he lifted up his bandana and hoodie. The door opened and a guards were there.
"Sparks has to be taken away." He said.
"Why?" I ask.
"He has something planned." They said.
"What are you going to do to him?" I ask some gusrds come in and grab him.
"The king ordered us that he has to have torture every day...its time." Said the guard I shook my head.
"Leave him." I said.
"But the king-"
"I'm the kings daughter...listen to me...I have to go now but leave him alone." I said. Sparks looked at me and I gave him a small smile.
"Your wish is our ccommand lady Nova...take the town thief to his cell." Commanded the guard. They nodded and took him away. I sighed and I followed the guard out to the exit. I quickly lifted my hoodie and walked outside they bowed and I smiled. I walked to Copper he looked at me and I smiled.
"He's fine copper...he's still alive." I say. He licked me and I smile.
"Come on let's get back." I say. He nods and I get on him. We run off and go to the town. When we get there I didn't go to the house. I turned and led copper to Sparks house. I know he would rather want to be there.
We walked inside the woods and I looked around...it was very dark outside...I looked and saw Sparks house. copper walked to it and I got off. Copper laid down and I smiled at him.
"I'm sure you'll like being here more right?" I say he nods. I kiss his head and he licks me. I then leave. I run out of the woods and to my house. I run and run and soon I got there. I quickly ran inside ignoringthe guards me and my dad have some buisiness to take of. I stomped inside my house to find everyone there.
"Nova." Said Robert.
"Nova where are earth have you been!?" Yelled my father I glared.
"Why did you lie to me!" I yelled.
"Excuse me." He said. I took out the paper and showed it him.
"Why did you lie to me!" I repeated. He was shocked.
