Chapter 7 Mariage?!

(Pic of Drake)

"Yeah,not happening."

"You don't really have a choice in the matter."

"Don't forget I can kill you in your sleep."

"Is that a threat?"

"You decide."

"Father,you told me you had already talked to her and Taz,and Kyle and they agreed to it."

"They might have agreed to it,but.....oh crap was that what they were telling me about?! I was half asleep and like five at the time!"

"Did it finally click miss cross dresser?"

"You still can't get me to marry anybody, I don't have any social skills much less the knowledge about marriage."

"Then you will be taught and learn simple enough."

"Sorry,but no."

*I went to turn around and leave,but guards were blocking my path.*

"Move."

"We have our orders and we can't."

"Fine then."

* I glances at the door frame and did a half flip so my feet were in the door fram then pushed off from the frame and landed then walked off leaving the guards stunned before they went after me trying to find me,but I had found a low hanging ceiling and pinned myself up their. The guards passed right beneath me and I dropped down once they were gone. Jinx met up with me and as I was walking I felt a hand reach out and cover my mouth and pulled me into a dark hallway.*

"Shhh."

*The dark figure put a finger to his lips for silence and some guards passed by. Once they left he released me.*

"Where did you get that cat?"

"I have had her ...mmmm a good ten years."

"Wait so you...."

"Yeah I was the person you met out by the river."

*I think I just saw a light bulb finally turn on.*

"Impossible!"

"No,I am just a really good person with disguises."

"How did you even hid all of...this?"

*He gestured to all of me.*

"Why would you want to hide your identity tho?"

"Guys tend to try and take advantage of women when they go through dark alleys,so I hide my identity I get by with nothing and build up a reputation as a soposed assassin."

"You aren't are you tho?"

"I have come close,but no I haven't killed anybody...yet."

"Listen,you don't have to marry me,tho I know my father is going to try and get you to,as well as keep you here. I know that was part of Taz's and Kyles mission."

"I figured that out awhile ago. Why does your dad even want me to marry you.no offense."

"None taken,I think it has to do with something with a...curse?"

*My eyes widened at this.*

"Do you know about the curse...Ivy?"

"Yeah..."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"I can't tell you unless I compleat my trust you,but I don't."

"Blunt much?"

"That's just my nature."

*I peeked out of the dark hallway into the brighter one and put my hood up and walked out swiftly trying to get to my room which overlooked the pasture so I could climb or jump down from my balcony. Sure it was six or eight stories up, but I could back the jump if I couldn't climb down. I went up to my room and was met with several maids.*

"The king told us to watch and make sure you didn't escape Lady Ivy."

"Please don't call me Lady Ivy,Ivy is fine."

"Yes of course Ivy."

*I let out a sigh. All hope of escape just vanished. Unless I could get to Dark Shadow then there was a way I could escape. He was a pure bread Arabian racer and he was the worlds tallest horse. His speed wasn't even slightly matched compared with other horses. Not even Taz or Kyle's gelding could keep up. In the mean time I need to formulate a escape plan and gather food, water, and rest for once I was planning my escape. I flung myself into the bed and I sunk down in the mattress  was getting swallowed up in it.It wasn't that it was so comfortable I couldn't get up. This thing around my stomach and chest prevented me from doing a sit up or even a crunch to get up! I started to rock back and forth and finally managed to roll over onto my stomach and do a push up and stand then roll off of the bed onto the carpeted floor. This was so soft! The maids had left leaving me to rest,but left one over by the window which had a book and was reading. She was the same red head from before. I rolled under the bed where it was nice and dark my kind of place and fell asleep trying to find anything like a secret passage,but I couldn't find one well not how I was looking anyway. I closed my eyes only after I had loosened the laces of the death trap and closed my eyes and fell asleep to the sound of pages turning and the purr of Jinx curled up beside me.*
