Our Escape

Chapter I : Who is she?

"Lady Marigold, Your Mother calls for you." My housemaid, Laurence said. "Okay, Laurence. Thank you for informing me. Please tell my mother that i will soon be with her in the lounge." I smiled at her before leaving, she smiled in return and left my chamber. I cleaned myself up before going to the lounge. I saw my father, my mother, my relatives and a tied up woman. "Mother, what did you need me for?" I asked my mother who was staring at a tall man, presumably my age, or older. " We have decided a man for you to marry!" She declared " Look! he even captured the town's witch" She exclaims. I stood there in shock while my relatives were admiring this imbecile. I could tell from the looks of him that he was enjoying every praise my cousins gave him. "The names Wyatt " He said as he took my hands and was about to kiss my hand. I pulled away, "It's Marigold." I muttered while judging him. " Do you want me to dispose of the wench?" He announces before grabbing his axe and was about to hit the young woman. "I-I'll dispose of her" I swiftly ran towards them and grabbed the woman. "Ahh i definitely love you, Marigold." Wyatt adds before i assisted the woman up to my room and assisted her to my bed. I could hear their laughs from the foyer. "I apologize for my family's behavior" I decided to start a little chat with her to ease her out. When i untangled the tight cord who was keeping her legs and arms together, she ran. I wasn't surprised, it was to be expected for. She glared at me from the other end of the room. "What do you want from me?" I heard her say, she had a heavy german accent. "To treat your wounds." I explained my intentions with a gentle tone so she would slowly get used to me. She went near me, "Astrella." She mumbles while looking away from me. "It's pleasant to meet you, Astrella. It's Marigold." I utter, while treating her wounds. After i cleaned her up, I helped her escape through my balcony. "Thank you, Marigold. I'll repay you one day. I promise." Astrella says before jumping down and running away. I smiled looking down from my balcony. 

The sound of a vase dropping was heard. The antique shattered into smaller pieces.

" Lady Marigold.. You've helped the witch.." I saw my housemaid standing in the hallway. She was clearly in shock. I hadn't locked the door. I left the door open.
