Chapter 5: elizabeth

Author's Note: Just so you know, this is kinda of a flashback. But yeah, enjoy :)

------------------------------------

    I can not believe how many people had come today for the festival. It is hectic here in the open fields of our kingdom.
  My husband and I are standing greeting some of the people from the village. Some are nice, others a little too nice...
   "This is great that we had this festival." I whisper to my husband, Sebastian.
   "It is indeed Elizabeth. Our children are enjoying themselves." My husband whispered back to me.
  I sigh quietly. I then look around to see if I can spot Adrianna, Collin or Isabella. In the distance I believe I can see two girls that look alike. Must be them....
   "Hello Queen Elizabeth." A voice said. I turn my head to a boy bowing about fifteen or sixteen years old. I curtsey back.
  "Hello there..." I said then paused. The boy lifted his head.
  "Jake, from Ondelina." Jake says.
  "Of course! Hello Jake. How are you and your brother, and your father?" I ask.
  "There good your majesty." Jake said back to me.
  "Can I ask you a favor?" I ask Jake. Jake nods his head. I continue, "Can you go stay with my son and daughters? Just to keep an eye on them. Or just the one, but keep all three in sight. I don't want to have to worry." I said quickly.
  "Of course Queen Elizabeth." Jake said bowing. Then walked off and disappeared through the crowd.
  I tap my husband's shoulder. He turns to face me. " Jake is going to stay with them. To keep an eye on them , so nothing happens."
  He frowns, "I could have gotten a guard to look after them."
  "I know, but I thought it would bother them to have a guard watching them when they should be having fun." I said back.
  "I guess you're right Elizabeth..." He says. "Would you care to dance in the meantime?"
   "Of course I would." I said with a laugh.
   For the next few songs we danced. Danced our hearts out. It was wonderful. Having a break from dealing with stressful arguments and things to be done around the castle.
   "Okay I think I need to stop before I get too dizzy from dancing." I said stopping during the middle of a song.
  "Alright if that makes you happy." Sebastian said stopping too. We walked around over to the table with  varieties of food.
  Pumpkin Pie! My favorite dessert to have. I walked over and smelled the pumpkin in the air.

"I think I'll get something to eat..." I said.
   "Alright then. I will be just over here." Sebastian said pointing in the direction he was walking to.
  I find myself a medium sized plate. The first table of food has fruits and vegetables. I scoop a spoonful of fruit salad and place it on my plate. Next I take some pasta from the third table. Lastly I have a thin slice of delicious pumpkin pie!
  Next to the pumpkin pie was blueberry pie, Sebastian's favorite! I needed to get him over here to have some. I set my plate down and walk over by the beginning of the line.
   I spot him. He is talking to a guard near the entrance. I call out for him, "Sebastian!" He didn't hear me I guess I'd better try again...
  "Sebas-" My words were cut off by a loud BOOM!
  I fell backwards landing on my bottom. The ground was shaking and it was hard to stand up. There was screaming coming from every direction.
  I am now able to stand, but every now and then I would bump into somebody. In my stomach I felt sickness. Where was Sebastian? Where were my son and two daughters? Were they alive?
  I tried screaming over all the screaming, but it did not work. I was making my way towards the entrance, but someone stopped me.
   Someone was holding onto my arm dragging me somewhere. I turn my head around. It was a peasant I had met! He was bringing me somewhere. Why weren't the guards though? 
  "Let me go!" I stopped and tried to go back the other way to find my family. He yanked hard on my arm and brought me close to him.
  "YOU ARE STAYING WITH ME NOW LET'S GO!" He yelled in my ear.  I'm sure that must have hurt my eardrum a lot because I couldn't hear any more sound.
  His face seemed so famil-
Soon everything went completely dark.
  No more light.
  No more sound...
