Here's Chapter 4! As said before, please feel free to send me any feedback about the story!

              Annie found Sarin, Natasha, and the others. 

             "I'm here," Annie said, "Let's hurry up and get out of here." 

             As soon as Annie was in the wagon, they started off towards Anvard. 

           "I found a path," Sarin said, "I think only us northerners know of this path and it's a lot faster than any of the other paths we could've taken." 

            They traveled all night long and by sunrise, they were far away from Tashbaan. 

           "We shouldn't have to worry about them trying to track us down for three days," Annie said, "I managed to fool Gorphi to think that I was doing some kind of sacrifices that Calormene maidens do before they get married for three days." 

           "Good, but we need to get to Archenland before those three days are over which means travelling all day and night long and stopping for breaks as little as possible," Sarin said. 

           "Natasha's feeling about avoiding Calormen was right," Annie said, "We should've listened and gone to Anvard instead. Let's hope that this won't start a war." 

           "It's not you that would start the war though," Natasha said grimly, "It would be Prince Gorphi since we all know that he won't give up that easily." 

            "Let's just hope that it doesn't come to a war," Annie said. The next afternoon, they had crossed back into Archenland. 

            "After a few more miles of traveling," Sarin said, "We can take a break." 

            "If you think that we can afford to take a break, then sure," Annie said. 

            "I feel like we shouldn't take a break until after we reach Anvard," Natasha said. 

            "Let's do what Natasha said," Annie said to Sarin, "Since Natasha was right this whole time about avoiding Calormen." 

            We had been stopped by Prince Gorphi in Tashbaan. He tried to force me to marry him but we managed to escaped and we're trying to get as far away as we possibly can in three days. I had tricked Gorphi into thinking that I was going to do sacrifices to Zardeenah for three days. I still don't know how he fell for the trick so easily. Currently we're travelling towards Archenland and Anvard. We have to stop at Anvard for at least a night because all of us are very weary and our horses won't be able travel like this for much longer. 

            It was early morning of the next day that they reached Anvard. They were welcomed in. 

            "Welcome Princess Annie and friends," King Lune cheerfully welcomed the tired and weary group. 

            "Thank you for letting us come, in King Lune," Annie said, "Prince Gorphi was trying to force me to marry him when we had gotten into Tashbaan. I was able to trick him and got away but when he sees that I don't come back tomorrow, he will be looking all over for me. I was hoping that we could stay here for at least a night before we continued back to my castle."
