Carry Me Home

Chapter 10

Mal had spent six hours into the night just sitting on the bench right outside the barn waiting for Henry to get back. She had eventually gotten tired of waiting, so she had gone to bed and would talk to Henry in the morning. But the next morning she ran into the barn and up to the loft to go find Henry, but she found he wasn't there. She ran all around the farm and still couldn't find him.

"Hey Mal! You seen Henry?" Mike called from the house.

"No. I don't think he came back last night, cause his horse isn't here either." Mal told him.

"Well then, where is he?" Mike asked scratching his head of blonde hair.

Mal placed her hands on her hips as she thought of why Henry didn't come back. But suddenly her eyes went wide as the thought of the reason Henry didn't come back. But no, it couldn't be true. Could it? "I think I know why he didn't come back." She said.

Mike tilted his head at his little sister. "Why?"

"I think he may have been captured. That's the only reason I can think of as to why he wouldn't have come back."

"Well then we have to go break him out! let's go!" He yelled as he ran into the barn to get his horse. Mal went back into the house to get a bag with a bunch of tools in it before running out to the barn as well to get on her horse.

Then she and her brother rode off towards the castle to break out their friend. When they got to the castle, they tied their horses to a tree far enough away from the castle, and sneaked closer towards said castle. They kept out of sight from all the guards and were able to get inside. But once they got inside there, more guards walking around with spears in their grasps. They were able to get downstairs into the dungeons. They looked in each cell for Henry before finding him in one of the cells near the back.

He had his back to the door just looking out the small window. "Psst! Henry!" Mal whispered harshly causing him to turn around.

"Mal? Mike? You guys are here!" He said running over to the door.

"Yup! And we're here to break you out, buddy. Oh wait! Shoot! I forgot to bring anything to get him out!" Mike said.

Mal just held up the bag to him as she pat his back. "I got you bro." She said before getting out a screwdriver and a hammer to break the hinges to the cell door. She and Mike worked together to break off the hinges. And once they did, they brought the door down quietly as not to get the attention of any guards.

"Alright! Awesome job, Mal! Is there anything you don't have in that bag?" Henry asked as he stepped out of the cell.

"Nope! I also brought victory snacks!" She said throwing a snack to both boys and one for herself of course.

"Great! You're amazing, Mal. Now, let's get back to the farm." Henry said as the three of them snuck out of the castle.

And once they made it out quietly, without getting caught they ran to their horses and rode as fast as they could to the farm. "So they caught you with the princess?" Mal asked as they followed the trail back to the farm.

"Yeah. We were saying goodbye then her fiance found us he took me to the king, and the king put me in the dungeons." Henry answered.

"We found something out, that I don't think you're gonna like." Mike told him.

"And what's that?" Henry asked.

"Well, Henry, it's been announced that the royal wedding is happening in less than two weeks." Mal told him.

Both Mal and Mike could see the look of hurt flash in Henry's eyes. His true love was going to marry another man and there was nothing he could do about it. "We have to stop it." He said.

"Ha! He's right! We do have to stop it." Mal said. "You two are meant to be with each other!"

"Are you sure it's a wise thing to do?" Mike asked. "We could all be thrown in the dungeons for doing that."

"There's no guarantee of that. How do you wanna stop it Henry?" Mal asked.

"I'll run through the doors and object the wedding. Evie will run into my arms and we'll run away together and be married elsewhere." Henry said.

"Ok, that'll be plan B." Mal said. "Here's the real plan. The lights will go out, you'll grab Evie, and then tell the king how much you love each other, he'll either approve or disapprove. If so, you go with plan B."

Henry thought about that for a minute. "I like it. Ok then, that's what we're doing." He said.

"This is crazy! Even for you two!" Mike yelled.

Henry and Mal smiled at him knowing he was right. But at least they had a plan to stop the wedding now. All they had to do was wait for the big day to come.

A/N: Well? How was this? I'm still sick and have been stuck in bed all day so I was bored to death and I wrote this. I want to thank you all so much for being so sweet to me yesterday but especially to Descendantsfan03 who was literally the sweetest. You made me feel a lot better, and even though I'm still sick I appreciate you being so sweet. But anyway, please let me know what you thought of this. Until the next chapter!!!
