Chapter 11

Jess pov

Todays the day. Any longer and I have to marry him. It's supposed to be our wedding day. I have a bag packed and ready to go in the back closet. My wedding gown has been delivered to me already. There's a forest a mile away that I need to make it to in order to be safe. I have the enchanted flint and steel in my bag. My only problem is how am I going to leave without being noticed. I hear a knock and a woman comes in to get me for breakfast. I'm sitting at a long table with Herobrine at the other end. "I hope your ready for today." I nod. I look up as a lady set my plate in front of me. "Meet me in the kitchen after breakfast." With that said she walks away. "I have to leave in a while to prepare for the wedding I'll be back a little before then to discuss an heir." I choke on my food as he said that. "Ahem.... An heir? Don't you think It's a bit early to discuss that." Before he could answer his phone rang. "I'll be leaving now my flight is here." He walks away. I wait a couple minutes before going into the kitchen only to see Romeo in an maid dress and holding a wig. "Romeo?" He looks up from sitting on the counter. "The one and only." He gives me a hug. "So what's the escape plan. I know you have one." I motion for him to follow me. I show him the map in my room. He nods. "I can get you out of here without getting caught." I look at him. "Why are you helping me." He shrugs. "No one deserves to marry someone they don't love." I nod. "We can't leave until Herobrine is gone. But we need to leave today. We're supposed to get married." I hear a knock. "Jessica who are you talking to?" Me and Romeo lock eyes. I quickly push Romeo under the bed as Herobrine enters my room. "No one. Just myself. I do it when I'm bored." He walks around the room checking the bathroom, closet and balcony before stopping in front of my bed. "We'll I've come to tell you I'm about to depart for my trip. Before I go we need to discuss my heir." I shake my head no. "Regardless of your answer I'm getting a son. I need someone strong to inherit my belongings. Not that I'll die but you know just in case things don't go as planned. We'll begin that process when I get back." He kisses my cheek and leaves. We wait a minute before Romeo's allowed to come out. "Wow. Um I knew he was a problem but not that much of a problem. He's talking about conceiving a living thing without your consent." I roll my eyes laughing. "Yes I know. It probably wouldn't even work. He's too powerful for my mortal body. I'll probably get too sick like in those movies and end up dying." He chuckles and grab my bag. I run to the library to place the book back. I unfold the map that I traced and head back to the room. "Ok so what's the plan on getting out?" He holds up a rope. "I hope your good at climbing." He climbs onto the rope first making sure it's steady and signals for me to follow. Releasing a breath I start to climb down. Luckily the castle isn't that high. I slip and fall on Romeo who was brushing hisself off. I help him up. He grumbles to himself and start walking off with me trailing behind. "All we have to do is make it into the forest and we're safe. Herobrine will be after you again once he notices your missing. " I nod. We continue walking in silence until we make it to the border of the woods. "Try not to get lost." I follow him into the trees. Not even 10 minutes and I've already split up and lost him. I've been walking around trying to find a way out. Hopefully the way I'm going is right. "ROMEO!" I shout. My voice hoarse from shouting.  It's already mid day and burning up. I take off my shirt to walk around in my bra and shorts. I scream out of frustration. "You just had to wander off. What happened to sticking together, huh! Thank you Romeo!" I kick a rock. Seeing a river I decided to place my bag on a piece of driftwood and walk in the water. It's not to deep and it's not dirty. Most rivers lead to town anyway. After shouting so many times and its starting to get dark. I decided to get out the water. I make camp and a small fire. I hang my clothes on a nearby tree. I still have some food left. Maybe 2 days worth, 3 if I'm not greedy. I decided to sit around the fire until I get sleepy. I draw some shapes, subconsciously I draw out Aiden's name. I scribble his name away. I go inside my fort to sleep. All I can think about is him. His beautiful olive green eyes, his cocoa bean colored hair. His signature mischief, yet seductive smirk. His tall, lean, muscular body. I quickly shut those thoughts down. I can believe I'm getting myself aroused by him of all people. I thought I was past my crush stage by now. But just the thought of his hands feeling ever inch of my body just drives me wild. I slap myself. I start pacing around my tent. "Come on Jess get yourself together. Your better than this." I punch a wall and splash some water on my face. "Fuck....fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Aiden" I sigh in defeat and lay down before I go into the woods in the morning. I am in love with this boy.
