A Foxes Garden

chapter one the village just outside of town

Arthur's POV:

Leyla - dammit Arthur why can't you just listen to me

Arthur - i will not let a Harlet such as you soil my good name

Leyla- your good name ! No one ever even speaks to you let alone think your a good person and i am not a dam harlet!

Arthur- weather i have a reputation or not i still have standards and a woman of your promiscuous nature does not fit them

Leyla- how can you say such horrible things to me Arthur I've been your friend since childhood and all I ask of you in return is to let me be your mate

Arthur- it is true we have been friends for quite some time but I will not have a mate who wishes to seek out other men every new moon

Leyla- i can not believe the lies i am hearing for I have done nothing but show my love and gratitude for you

Arthur - you have done nothing but show your lust for me and what I am you do not love me I do not believe a woman of your nature could ever love anything more then flesh

Leyla sat sulkingly against the bed and pondered her thoughts for a moment. i could tell by the look in her eyes that she was skeeming things. She was thinking of the only way she knew how to get to me .

Leyla- well if your not willing to meet my wishes then our little secret no longer matters

Arthur - you wouldn't dare break the promise you made to me

Leyla- oh but I would . Clearly it seems I don't mean anything more to you then a dirty harlet so why should you mean anything more to me then a just an blood thirsty monster.

Arthur - well fine then its settled we are no longer friends there is no need for you to spat my secret out to the whole village ill just be on my way and won't bother you anymore

Leyla- oh no I am going to tell the village . I will reveal to them the beast that you are and you know exactly what they'll do. Theyll lock you up and skin you alive then burn your body on a steak just as you deserve for the horrendous things you dare accuse me of

Arthur- get out of my house ! Get out before I do something ill regret and don't bother ever showing your face in my presence again for no one such as the likes of you is worthy to stand let alone be near my presence

And like that she was out the door. While a overwhelming feeling of relief crept over me a hint of dred shortly followed because in the back of my mind I knew exactly what she planed on doing and in this instant I knew I had to get out of town before the up rising could begin

Prince henrys POV :

As I laid ever so carelessly across my bed I was startled by the earpersing screech of a woman a women you sounded oh so familiar. I sprang from my bed and ran outside to see what had happened as I stepped out into the street in nothing more then a bath robe I noticed layla limping ever so slowly towards me . She held her right shoulder in her hand as I could see the trail of blood leaking from behind it

Prince Henry- layla my dear what happened! Are you alright

Layla- he bit me! He Cornerd me and even tho I begged him to stop he sunk his teeth straight into me

Prince Henry- who did my dear? who is the culprit behind such a hainis crime ?!

Layla- Arthur! He's the vile beast your after he tried to force me to indulge with him and when I refused he threatened to bleed me dry but I escaped and managed to make it here . He's the one your after and if you don't stop him he kill every one of us in this village

Prince Henry- i will not allow this not in my village he will be burned alive on a steak for the crimes he has committed now lets get you some help and ill round up all the men in the village to finally put a stop to all this

Authors POV:

As I so effortlessly through my body atop the mystical black steed I could see the glow of fire and the screams of vengeance in the distance as they grew ever so near. I had to take off fast and never look back I knew it was for the best for I was not leaving a home but a place of sorrow and sulentry. I road off into the woods and down the mountain I knew there couldn't be another village to far because there had to be places from which we traded with. As I road on the sound of the men and the crackling of there horses hooves seemed to almost vanish into the night sky. The air was cool and the moon almost full and all I could hear now was the sounds of crickets chirping and the faint sound of an owl in the distance. I road for what seemed like a life time before seeing the faint dim light of house. It was sanctuary it was a place of solitude. I stopped just before entering the village to put my horse on a tree as to not wake the village people. The atmosphere was quiet and seren not even a cricket could be heard. I stopped below an old almost sunken looking tree and as I threw my coat over my body I laid down to rest as a reward for finding a place I could call home well at least for awhile they would eventually catch up to me and I would have to leave once again but for now I am at peace .
