Elenor's POV:
I flee royal ball, my once - beautiful gown stained red with the King’s crimson blood. Voices shouting after me as I burst into the rose garden -- the rain pouring down in icy sheets.Bells are tolling, I don't know where to go. Then, a hand grips my wrist tightley and i am pulled to face him… my prince, my husband, my enemy.
“Why” he says breathlessly, tears threatening to spill from his beautiful, icy blue orbs. He is in pain, I can see it.
“Don’t ,” I breathe, as he towers over me. “Please.” I can smell his expensive colone. the one that remindes me so much of home.
He stares at me for a long moment before taking my face in his large, muscular hand.
“I don’t ever want to see your face again,” he says in a deathly whisper. “If i do, i will kill you. Now go! LEAVE ELENOR!”I do…
I can hear my heartbeat in my head. My heels in my hands so that i can run faster. I stop, only for a second or two just to look back one more time at the palace. I see him walking towards me , slowly but powerfully, with a sword in his hand. The blade draggs ont the ground leaving a single line trailing behind it. He is closer now. I realise what he is doing and I run. I run for my life. My heart pounding in my chest. I get to the woods and dart into the dark abiss. I can see nothing, stumbeling around until I think that it it is safe to stop. I collapse on the ground and lie there ,not having the energy to move.I wake up to the sound of the morning chorus of the birds, the sun on my back and the sting of the gash on my aching back. I try to move and let out a cry of pain. Then i heard a soft chuckle. I froze, I've heard that chuckle before. He had found me...
