Kidnapped on the way Home(On hold)

Chapter 5

Oy for some reason it has been really hard for me to even figure out how I want this story to go. I know the beginning and end, but I have trouble writing the filler parts. Phooey.



Oh well, Here's chapter 5 after many requests ;)



I'll try to upload more.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The man's booming voice finally breaks me out of my trance.

"I-Uh, No I can't cook."

I look down at the floor, afraid of what he is going to do to me.

"Well then, what can you do?"

I'm scared to meet his gaze, but my chin is forced up, making me look straight into the man's blue eyes.

"I love to draw. And paint."

With my answer out, he strides back to his desk and sits in his chair. He starts running his hand through his short black hair, seeming to be thinking.

"We haven't had portraits done in a while. If you can prove your supposed "talent", I will grant you freedom to remain in the castle grounds, and room in the servants quarters. Juan, take miss... "

He trails off, asking for my name.

"Adelina, Sir." I manage to squeak out.

"Ah Adelina, what a beautiful name, Juan, take miss Adelina to the library so she may make us a piece of her artwork. When she is finished with her piece, bring it to me and we shall determine her fate, here in the castle."

As soon as he finishes, Hottie #3 or truely known as Juan,  walks over to me, grabbing my arm firmly, we walk out of the foyer. We continue walking, through the castle. Around turns, under archways, and up stairs, until I am more than lost.

Since their is no way for me to remember my way back, I start focusing on tell-tale signs that I would be able to remember if I should ever need to make a quick escape. The golden banister, the emerald colored shades, the picture of a royal lord with a dog on his head.

All things that I hoped would help me sooner or later.

After the many huge, oak doors we passed, we finally stopped in front of a set of two. Juan pushed the doors open, and I was faced with an enormous library, filled to the brim with books.

Juan must have seen my astonished face, because he burst out laughing.

"You think this is big? Wait until you see the public library. This is only our private library."

"P-Private library? Wow... just wow" The library was so big it left me speechless.

Juan ushered me inside, and closed the massive doors. He led me over to a window seat in the corner, that was facing a garden. The garden was beautiful. All the flowers were expertly planted and cared for, as they were all in full bloom and thriving.

Juan sat down on the window seat and patted the seat next to him. I sat down.

"You are going to paint or draw, whatever you choose, this garden. I'm going to give you this afternoon, and I'll be back after dinner. Everything you would need is in this little closet."

He showed me a quaint little closet next to the window. Walking in I found everything I would ever need--rubbers, erasers, pencils, pens, paints, brushes, and so much more.

I have never had art supplies to this extent or of this good quality. I can't wait to get started now

"I'll leave you to it." Juan says as he's walking to the doors.

As he is leaving he says one last remark

"And don't even think of trying to escape. We have guards outside the doors, and the window is five stories high. It's not worth it... Trust me."

And with that he closes the door, and I hear them lock.

Wonderful.

Well, since there is nothing else to do, I might as well try on this painting and pass the time.

I quickly grab all the supplies I need and take a seat at the window.

I start painting the large weeping willow at the end of the garden. Making sure I get it's branches just right... sweeping in and out of the wind.

Next the flowers surrouding the garden. All vibrant colors of purple, yellow, and blue.

I keep painting, working on the smallest detail, until I hear a knock, and the large doors opening.

Here goes nothing.

Well, what did you think?



I really tried on this one.



Please tell me what you think



And I would also like to know who do you think Adelina is going to marry in the end, just curious :)



Thanks so much for reading everyone!!!
