I guess after Diana came in my life, the feeling of doesn't want her to let go is increasing. I better hurry, I don't want her to be alone, and it looks like its gonna rain.

I stopped in front of my favourite shop, and I order our needs then suddenly a man in black Questioned me "Excuse us, Are you Dan Mason?" I turned around and was shocked and thought that did they already found Diana, I better get think something fast..."Yes, I am Dan Mason, why do you ask?" I said. "Someone told us that you lived in the mountains, why?" they asked "Why do you want to know? Knowing oneself privacy is WRONG!" I said "We're sorry, but we have orders from the King to check all the houses, if you can give us permission." "You think'll I'll give you permission, well sorry you picked a wrong day, I have a visitor and she doesn't like STRANGERS! and she's my grandmother!" I said "Very well then..." after they said that, they get in the car and drives.

Suddenly it rained. I ride Dylan then a car stopped me. Ugh it's the man in black again, so I came down from Dylan and knocked the window. It came down and saw Genevieve and said "Hop in..." I ride the car and the driver park in a place that no one can see.

"So, how's it going?" she ask "It's perfectly fine..." I said "I see that you're keeping your promise!" she said, I smiled and said "NO! It's not a promise, It's a commitment! Our life is getting..." I said then Genevieve added "Romantic?" "You can say that..." I said "Dan, can you still remember when Diana came in your life?" she ask "Yeah...I think it's last week..." I said "It's been 2 weeks since Diana has been with you and the next two weeks will be her coronation, and the King has been adding men to find Diana, and I don't think I can keep up with it. The king has lots to do and he has been cancelling all, his top priority is to find Diana immediately, I want you to tell this to Diana and I see that you've been taking her outside from the letters you delivered me, but please you have to limit it, that's all."

I wonder what Dan taking so long, I already made dinner, Suddenly I heard a knocked, I hurry over and opened it, but it's not Dan! "Hi, Diana..." Prince Edward said "Why...Why are you here and how did you find me?" I said in shocked. I let him in and offered him to sit.

"So...how did you find me?" I ask "Let's say, I got a help from my dog, John." he said "I see, have you eaten dinner yet? I can make you something..." I said "No, I'm fine. I don't know that you're this kind of a lady." he said. I was flattered by he said

"Diana, did you find somebody you truly loved?" he ask. I was shocked but I said Yes. I didn't looked at him 'cause I know that he looked hurt. Edward called my name and said "When every year I receive your picture, I always wanted to meet you...always, but then you run away and you fall in love with another man you weren't engaged with" Edward grip my arms tightly "It hurts..." I looked at him and he looked SCARY...

"Edward...it hurts...please let go!" I said but he wasn't listening at all he tightly grips me and when I finally got the chance I kicked him. "What happened to you?!" I said I get something to protect myself, and he stand up. "I'm sorry, it looks like I'm getting myself over. I'm sorry, it's just that I've missed you so much, Diana. Please come back to me, let's marry and forget that this happened at all" Edward then tries to come to me, but no matter how I said BACK OFF! He still won't listen.Suddenly Edward catch me and let me smell something. I felt sleepy and faint.

Dan I need you!

"What is it, Anthony?" Genevieve asked "I'm sorry my lady, but I saw John and Prince Edward running towards the Mountain" he said "WHAT?!" Genevieve said in shocked "Dan, you have to go now, Diana's in danger, if he brought John with him, then John can track Diana, you must go now! FAST!"

Diana, please be safe. I'm coming for you! Please be safe!

When I finally arrived, the cottage is in a total mess, and I saw a letter at the table, I was shocked and I begin to searched for Diana every inch inside of the cottage, but I see no sign of her. I looked at the stable, and I only saw Apple Jack. I've beginning to lost hope.

Suddenly Genevieve arrived and ask "Is she here?" I looked at her said "NO! She isn't here, but there's something here, a riddle..." I said, I gived Genevieve the letter and it says:
If you want to find her, you can find her in a place where:

 "Three needles stand of
three different heights.
The fat, the tall and the thin.
From slow to fast they
move to the right.
Scott rests not on three,
but fifteen."

If you solved it, meet me at that place at exactly that time, TOMORROW!

Genevieve looked at it carefully and said " the "three needles" are simply the hands on the clock. "The fat, the tall and the thin": hour, minute and second hands. "From slow to fast they move to the right" describes the order of the hands: Hour, Minute, Second. Dan, Diana's in a clock tower, and the time would be...

The arrows for each name are:

Henry: 9 (9 hours) - hour hand Mildred: 2 (10 minutes) - minute hand Scott: 3 (15 seconds) - second hand

The time is 9:10 and 15 seconds. We must be prepared Dan."

I thanked Genevieve for solving the riddle, but I don't know how she solved it but I'm grateful, then she ride her horse and said goodbye to me. I went inside, and headed to the kitchen. Diana prepared something delicous again, and I...I, if only I didn't go, then maybe I could protect and I proudly say that it's not a commitment, what a coward I turned to be! I couldn't even protect the one I LOVED the most in the world.

Tommorow, Edward even if you are the Prince I'll snatch Diana from you even if it costs my life! Wait for me Diana, I'll go rescue you!
