Freedom

Chapter 31

"Scarlett?" Asher mumbles

"Asher-

"We are here" John says as I feel the vehicle turn.

"Asher it's alright. I'm here" I manage to teach my hand out to touch his hand. He feels it and grabs unto mine tighter. He eyes eee still looking drowsy and it took him a few seconds to sit up straight. The guard once again pulls me back, making me slam my back against the wall of the vehicle. I winced as I felt the impact. Asher was going to say something but I quickly shake my head, telling him that I am fine.

"Alright, out everyone" John says and everyone gets down including me and Asher. My eyes captures my home right in front of me.

"Wow it's huge" Asher frowns from the sunlight as he looks up at the building.

"It is Huh?"

"Enough chit chat!" They push Asher forward.

"So princess, feels good to be home doesn't it?" John says as he stands beside me.

"I never liked my home" I give him a short smile and tried to catch up with Asher. There were steps up before we could even reach the front door of the palace. My legs felt shaky and I was tired all of a sudden.

I have to do it. I have to save everyone and this is the only time I can do it. I know I never could hide forever but I am so glad that I stayed. I would have never met so many amazing people.

"Ready princess?" John voice snap out of my thoughts. I look up and open the huge doors right in front of me. Time for hell.

I walk in immediately feeling very familiar with everything. Everything has been the same since I was gone.

"Can you don't hold him like that" I turn to my left to see Asher still with his hands pinned begonia back with two guards.

"I'm fine Scarlett" Asher gives a small smile. I was about to say something when I heel clicks fills the hall. I turn my head to meet my mother.

"Oh my goodness! You are actually here"she blows her nose and wipe tears off her face. She than walks closer ti me and out her hands in my face and hands. "You have wounds everywhere!" She gasps

"You can stop crying" I say, making everyone look at us, including the maids that were walking by. No one in castle really see how we talk because we usually do this in private.

"Oh goodness, I can't. You don't know how worried I was when you were gone" she sniffs and wipes her tears.

I sigh. "Stop crying, I know it's fake"

My voice echoes through the hall. A few other maids happen to hear and looked at us. I look back at them and they quickly turned and leave.

"How could you say that?" She gasp

" because it's true" I say monotone. "Where is dad?"

"His busy-

"Here" his Low voice sounds and everyone looks at him as he walks towards me.

"Did you know what you just did?" He frowns.

I opened my mouth to say something but i couldn't even say a word a slap was heard. My fathers hand slapped my face, before I could even talk. "Leaving the castle is prohibited!"
