misbelief

chapter 4 stolen

Catherine gently sits down and looks at the cover of the book.
The cover is almost beaming, the beautiful details that were put into the art.
She could do nothing but admire the beauty of the cover however if she wanted to read the book before dinner she would have to start reading right away.

Hours pass, the dinner bell rings loudly.
Catherine closes the book and gets up from her bench and proceeds to walk to the dining hall.

The door opens and Catherine sits down at the table humming a sweet tune.
"You seem to be in a cheerful mood darling" says her mother with a warm soothing smile.

"Yes indeed mother" says Catherine as she looks down at her plate trying to avoid eye contact with prince valdor.

"Well I think I should make an announcement" says prince valdor while he stands up holding a glass of champagne in the air.

"To my future wife and my future brother in law" says prince valdor as he clinks his class with Catherine's brother.

"Well I think I've lost my appetite" Catherine says as she stands up getting ready to leave the dining hall.

"But dear you haven't even taken one bite of your dinner" says her mother.
Catherine looks at her and shakes her head and then continues to leave the dining hall.

Catherine walks into her room and springs onto her bed, her eyes start to fill with tears as she hugs her pillow tightly.

As Catherine lays there hopeless of ever getting out of this forced marriage she hears glass chatter inside her washroom.

Catherine gets up and peaks into the washroom.
Catherine gasps there was a boy in her washroom, he looked to be a common theif.

Catherine hastly heads for the door but is pulled by the arm.
"Say one word and I'll throw you out that open window princess"
Says the theif, holding his hand over her mouth.

Catherine nods her head and attempts to make her body calm.
The theif takes his hand of her mouth and let's go of her arm.

"If you stay out of my way no harm will come to you got it"
Says the theif as he continues to grab her jewelry off the night stand .

"Hey! You can't just take that!" Exclaims Catherine as she trys to grab her stuff back.

The theif grabs her and pushes her towards the open window.
"I'll repeat myself Say one word and I'll throw you out that open window got it?"
The theif says while pushing Catherine further towards the window.

As Catherine attempts to nod she slips grabbing onto the theif.
Catherine and the thief fall out the window and into the soft flower bushes outside Catherines bedroom.

The theif grabs Catherine by the wrist and leads her to the gate of the castle, he starts to run out of the castle limits.

"Wait! I'm not supposed to leave the castle" Catherine says as she gets pulled further away from the castle.

"Yea well I wasnt supposed to get caught but thanks to you I have been so your coming with me"
The thief says as they leave the castle.

Finally Catharine and the theif stop in the woods.
The thief bends down and grabs some branches and leaves, he continues to rub the branches together until it formed a fire.

"Why the hell did you bring me with you, you could of just left me you know!" Catherine yells.

"Will you shut up having a fire is already risky enough but yelling is just asking for a death wish" whispers the theif.

"What do you mean?" Catherine asks.

"There are bounty hunters everywhere that would be thrilled to find you here so it's better if you stay silent plus your voice is just really annoying" the theif says giggling.

"HEY! My voice is not annoying" says Catherine
