Chapter 9: Just like our first meeting
Hey guys! So I have a break from school for a week. And that means I could upload earlier! Hope you all like it.
"Are you okay, Taylor?" Bellestood besidethe littleTaylor who stared out the window and was sat on the cold floor.
"Iwant to know whothat guyis,whopulled meout of the water." Taylor'sviewwasfocused onthe garden, she looked out of the window, to the river whereshefell into, just a while back.
"He went quickly,I couldn't see who..." Bellewas interrupted byTaylor.
"I'm going to find him." Little Taylorranout of the main hall, towards the double front door. She searched for her way out, to the other side ofthe river.
"Where do you think she is?" Taylor moved her head to the side so she could see his face, Killian looked frustrated. Why did he want that bag so badly?
"I don't know, I don't know... I don't even know who that girl is!"
Taylor grabbed Killian's hand and stopped walking, they stood in front of each other. His eyes glittered in the sun and Taylor got lost in the twinkling lights that were his eyes. "We'll find her, I'm here to help you." she gave him a small hopeful smile and they continued walking.
Killian stopped, suddenly. "Shush."
"What do you…"
"I said shut your mouth!" Killian dropped to the floor and Taylor followed suit.
They saw the girl down the hill, standing all alone. They could see the little bag dangling from around her body.
"Allow me." Taylor flexed her bow, she shot her arrow at the cord hanging from the small bag, so the bag flew against the tree, stuck to the wood by the arrow. The girl was startled and looked up at the hill where Killian and Taylor stood, meanwhile, the two tried to think of a route down. The girl tried to pick the small bag off of the arrow, but the arrow was too deep in the bark of the big tree.
"How are we gonna get down?" Killian looked down, if you were to walk it would take centuries.
"Like our first meeting, roll." Taylor grabbed Killian's arm and together they rolled down the hill, Taylor closed her eyes so she wouldn't be dizzy when she reached the ground. Killian tried to grab the girl by the arm right after he stood up, but all attempts failed. The girl was too fast and ran, zigzagging between all the trees. She had to stay in the vicinity of the small bag.
When Taylor went to grab the little bag, the girl moved in one quick motion in front of her, and pulled the arrow from the tree in one go and grabbed the bag. At the time she wanted to run away, Killian was suddenly in front of her and Taylor grabbed both of her arms from behind her.
"Let me go!" screamed the girl, she showed no resistance and remained stationary. Taylor continued to hold her arms.
"You little..." before Killian could finish his sentence Taylor interrupted him.
"Killian!" and she looked with fiery eyes towards Killian.
"Oh fine, now she knows my name, well done." Killian turned himself away from the girl and Taylor.
"Don't act like a little kid, pirate." Killian refused to give a response and stayed with his back towards the girl and Taylor. Taylor concisely, bound the two arms of the girl with a piece of rope, so she couldn't run away at least.
"So, what's your name?" Taylor moved to stand in front of the girl whilst holding one of her arms, looking straight into the eyes of the girl. They were dark, like a camouflage in her eyes. .
Little Taylor ran on the grass, she kept her dress up a bit. The dress was a delicate shade of pink but so light that it was almost white. The flowers that were in her upswept hair flew in the wind out of her hair to fall behind her. Just as she was about to jump, although she would never get over the river, Belle grabbed her arm. Belle wasn't that old, a few years older than Taylor was. Her dark blue dress looked like the night sky, only it wasn't night yet. It was almost noon.
Taylor looked at her sister with fear, her large eyes stared into the eyes of Belle. Belles eyes, like two small water drops. They gleamed in the sunlight. Taylor didn't need long to think about it and grabbed her sister in a big hug.
"I didn't want to jump, I just wanted to know who saved me." Taylor closed her eyes as she hugged her sister, they sat on the grass at the waterside.
"I know, but sometimes you can't search for things that are long gone. Sometimes those things have to search for you." Belle stood up and reached for the hand of her sister, Taylor grabbed Belles hand and together they walked back to the castle.
