Once Upon A Time: The Princess and the Huntsman

Chapter 6

Prince James sat across Princess Abigail, King Midas' daughter, which was soon to be his be-throned wife

"What do you think of the view my dear?" Asked James, staring out at the scenery through the window of the carriage

Abigail sighed as she whipped out her fan, fanning her face a bit "I've seen better"

"This is taking forever" she complained "I told you the troll road would have been quicker" they went over a bump, Abigail closed her eyes in annoyance "And far less bumpy"

James, now ignoring her, looked at the leather pouch that layer beside him

"Are you even listening to me?" She asked once again annoyed

"Yes of course I am" he responded quickly

"Whoa! Whoa!" A man yelled to the horses, have the horses whine as the carriage stopped

"Now what?" The Princess asked, Jamey sighed as he stepped out of the carriage, leaving the pouch behind, as he stepped out to see what was wrong

"M'lord!" Another man shouted, James took a quick glance at Abigail in front of the carriage before seeing what's wrong

"Worry not, it's but a fallen tree!" He shouted to Abigail, she rolled her eyes

"Fellows? Shall we?" He said to the guards, preparing to lift the tree out of the path to continue on

Unknown to them all, a brown hooded figure waited silently in a tree, waiting for the perfect moment to strike

The prince looked at the tree, noticing the markings along side the tree where it fell

While he was noticing this, a small thud fell on top the carriage where Princess Abigail still sat, she gasped in terror as she didn't know what fell on top of the roof of the carriage

"M'lord.....what is it?" Asked a guard as he noticed him examining the tree

"Look at these markings. This tree didn't fall it's been cut. It's an ambush" he said telling the man, as they were ready to pull there swords

The hooded figure quickly swiped the pouch from the carriage as Princess Abigail's screams of fright alerted the guards

"Guards! Stop! Thief!" She shouted in fright, the figure took the closest horse, which was pure white, and sped off

Prince James did the same with the nearest horse, which was brown, and headed after the thief

Their horses rode fast, James urging his to go fast as he caught up with the thief

Thinking fast he jumped off his horse and grabbed the masked thief, tumbling to the ground

"Show your face coward!" He yelled, ripped the cloak of their face, and there was a girl
Her skin as pale as snow but with raven dark hair

He almost punch her but was stunned to see a girl "You're a..... girl"

"Woman" She said grabbing a rock and hitting him in the chin, he hissed in pain as he fell off her and she jumped right back on the horse taking off deeper into the woods

"You can't hide from me! Wherever you are, I will find you!" He shouted as he watched her take off, he touched his bleeding wound and looked back at her

He saw her riding off looking back with a smile

A smile of victory

I waited inside Mary-Margaret's house, she was on a date and I waited for her to get home, I made hot chocolate and waited in the kitchen, I sprinkled some cinnamon on top as the door opened and closed
