I do (prequel)

Chapter four: Todays the day

My eyes flash open, I wake up to looking at at my wardrobe. A smile shines on my face, today's the day. I go to play with my ring with my thumb, to realize that it's gone. I pull my hand out from under the covers to look at it. I remember that it was needed. I slowly sit up and I stare at the sword in its holster, that's leaning up against the wall beside the door.

I couldn't get the image out of my head. Walking down the isle, walking up to the woman I love. Getting married... I didn't want it to stop. I got out of my bed and changed. Before I put my jacket cape on, I looked over at the sword then froze. I walked over to it, and put it over my shoulder and under my one arm.

Then I covered it with my jacket cape. My long brown hair in a pony tail, and covered the small handle so it wasn't all that easy to see. I walked to my door and opened it, just to see..Amy. "Regina wants to me you in the forest." She said fiddling with her hands. I raised my eyebrow. We aren't supposed to see each other till tonight.

But I didn't want to argue, all I wanted to do was see Regina. I shrugged then walked past her. "The carriage is all ready for you!" She hollered as I walked down the stairs to the front door. Once I got outside, I could see a guard standing beside the carriage, and holding the door open. The carriage was all set up.

But beside it, I could see that a horse was all set up for a ride. Why's the horse all set up? Amy didn't mention a horse, so what's it for? I just stood there staring at the both of them, a little confused.

Amy came up behind me. I felt that I shouldn't go, but I kinda did want to go. I slowly walked to the carriage door, and slowly got in to sit down. The guard closed the door, then climbed up to the seat.

The guard that sat upfront to control the horses, started to flip his lead and the carriage started to move. I looked confused as I looked out the window. Good thing I brought my sword incase of an emergency. While we kept moving, the roads that the guard took seemed different. They were roads that I never been down before.

Was Regina trying to find a nice spot for us? Or is this all a.... "Stop!!!" I yelled loudly, then the carriage stopped. I opened the door a little, then the carriage started to move. That horse were running holding the door shut. "Oh no.." I try to push the door open, but the wind holds it shut.

The care wheels hit some rocks making me fall backwards onto the seat. I huffed loudly then sat up again, and continued. What felt like days was hours, it was a long ride and I thought it would never end until I looked out of the window to my right. I could see an abandoned little stone house beside a little river, in the middle of nowhere.

I stared at it. It was an odd little thing. It was covered with moss outside of  the house, and it almost looked like it was on a slant. The carriage pulled up in front of it, then the door flung open. "Get out." A familiar voice demanded. I frowned. "Excuse me?" I said sternly. "I said, get out!" He yelled this time.

I shock my head then held my hand at him. "Back up." I said, then he got shoved at the tree behind him. I froze and looked at my hand. I could hear a horse running up to the carriage. I got out of the carriage to see who it was, it was Amy. The guard got up, as the horse stopped in front of him.

He grabbed something off of it, and walked to me. He had rope in his hands, he turned me around and tied my hands together. "This doesn't make sense, I demand you to untie me!" I scowled trying to free my hands. He didn't say anything, and marched me inside the stone house. The pace was familiar too, Amy followed.

Amy opened the door for the guard, and a few rats ran outside. "Gross.." I mumbled. I got pushed inside, then marched me downstairs. We took a left, then Amy opened another wooden door. My eyes widened, it was like looking at a maze full of hand made jail cells. There was rows upon rows.

He pushed and shoved me all the way at the end, which was an odd thing to do. Amy once again opened the door, but it was a cell door this time. They both shoved me hard in the cell, then locked the door. I stood there with my head low staring at the ground, and thinking to myself.

"Anything that involves Regina...makes me have to go where ever..." I thought over and over again. I could hear the wooden door down the hall slam shut, I flinched a little. I looked around the cell, there was nothing but rock everywhere and a stone floor. The chains that held a wooden bed to the wall, were broken.

The metal door was all rusty, it was all trash. The next thing I need is for this place to fall on me. I looked down at the corner near the back of the cell, and saw something sharp. I slowly walked up to it, to notice that I was a rusty nail. I turned around and leaned up against the wall, I slowly slid down the wall.

I sat on the ground and tried to grab the nail with my tied up hands, I kept missing but I finally got it. "Let's not cut myself.." I slowly moved the nail up and down against the rope, eventually I moved it faster and the rope started to break. I kept moving the nail up and down, I got faster and faster as my hands slowly became free.

It was a little hard at first, but one the rope started to break little by little the rope started to fall off. I finally got the rope cut, and I quickly rubbed my wrists. They tied the rope on tightly. I looked at the cell gate, then I stood up and dashed to the cell door. I shock the gate hard, I could hear the rusted metal screeching as I pulled and shock.

"I'll do anything to go back..." I thought to myself. I looked behind me, and I could see some light. The light was coming from the top of the rock wall. I could hear the wooden door open down the hall, and I froze. The sound of the metal armor hitting against each other, and the sound of boots hitting the ground.

I hesitated and thought real hard, I finally came up with an idea and sat down on the ground in a corner with my hands behind my back. The guard got to the gate, and I looked up at him with a scowl. He took his helmet off, and my jaw hit the floor. "James?" I said shocked. "You finally noticed." He smirked. He unlocked the door and walked in.

Then he kneeled down to face me. I quickly pushed him down and ran out of the cell to lock the door. "Thanks." I said with an evil smile. I quickly ran down the hall to the wooden door, but James beat me. "AMY!!!" He yelled so loud, the walls almost shook. I growled, then continued to run. I ran upstairs to a dining room, then to the living room where the front door was.

I could hear someone sneaking up on me, I quickly pulled my sword out and stroke. Clang! My sword hit another. I look up and I saw Amy with her sword hitting mine. "You just don't know how to give up, don't you." She said with a frown. I grinned evilly.
