Isabella White and the Huntsman

Chapter 11

Here it is :)

Chapter 11

(Bella's POV )

He wasn't kidding when beith had set the clock time to 6am. All this running from the queen has really drained me.

We all had one backpack each, packed with food and supplies.
The Dukes castle shouldn't be too far from here. There's just all this snow to walk through and the sun burning on your skin

I still had trouble with the dwarfs names but they all gathered around the table.

"Bella, are you ready to go?" One of them said

"Yes." I nod.

I look around for the huntsman. I really don't want to keep calling him that. I want to know his real name. Why is it such a secret?

We head off out of the warm home into the cold snowy weather. The only thing keeping me from freezing to death was the sun shining on us the whole way.

"This feels to easy." I say to the huntsman as he catches up with me.

"You think something bad will happen?" He asks.

"Well, we do have an army hunting us. There's one thing I know for sure, if the army keeps failing to find us, the queen will do it herself." I say keeping my eyes fixed into the distance.

"And we will be ready with the Dukes army when she does." The huntsman said.

"What if she finds us along the way?" I worry.

"You think to much, princess. Just let it go, what happens- will happen."

I could see the tip of the Dukes castle in the far distance which means we're are not too far away from being safe. There was still a chance that something could go wrong while we walk there. I had a weird feeling.

The sun hid behind the clouds making it seem darker than normal. It wasn't night, it was lunch. I eat my soup while walking when everything just seemed to turn cold.
The wind picked up speed, brushing the snow against my face.

I closed my soup container so the snow couldn't fall in it. The leaves made a circle spinning shape on the snowy floor. I stopped in my tracks as everyone else did.

The huntsman frown at the circling leaves and put his arm out to the side and slowly walked in front of me.

A dark blue creature emerged from the leaves, sending my heart to race in fright. I somehow got pushed to the back of the group with the dwarfs holding their weapons up.

The queens magic held a dragon-like animal. Without a second look I reached for the knife in my bag. It wasn't much but at least I will have something if it tried to attack me.

It was all a blur. The dwarfs attacking it's lower body and the huntsman driving the sword on its neck.
The creature struggled. The huntsman gave it another slash on the neck with his sword but the dragon caught it and threw the sword off to the side.

With the seven dwarfs still stabbing it, the creature still didn't fall. It set its eyes on me and growled. I saw a glimps of a silver chain around its neck.

The huntsman ran to me putting his body in front of mine.

The chain looks exactly like the queens chain. I knew what to do. I held the knife tightly and ran from the Huntsmans protection.

"Bella no!" I heard him shout.

The creature winced in pain as the dwarfs were throwing everything they had at it. My eyes were on the chain, I threw my knife aiming for the necklace that was around the dragons neck.

A screech came from the animal. I knew I hit it. I held my eyes open seeing the dragon fall clumsy onto the floor and then vanish into thin air.

No one moved. Everyone was still trying to comprehend what just happened.

I knew it was too easy. The queen has decided to kill me herself. And I know that she won't stop for nothing.

I look at the dwarfs and feel guilty. Then I look at the huntsman which makes my heart flutter. I couldn't let them get hurt because of me.

My mother will stop at nothing, she will kill anyone who try's to conceal me from her. And that I know.
