Absence Of The Good Prince

Chapter 5 || Goodbye

"What are you doing"I whispered so that only she could listen,

"Shut up, if you make another sound, I swear, I'll will slice your throat in half"she replied,

I kept very still, with my eyes on the knife,

"Open this door, she must be hiding in here" the angry man said,

"Sorry sir, but your not allowed to go in there, no one is"another male voice explains, A
voice is much calmer, I am guessing it was one of the castle guard;

" You don't understand,"the man sounded desperate "I need to find my wife, and punish her"this time sounding much angrier,

I could feel Annabelle starting to shake with fear, I toke that opportunity to disarm the knife from her hands, I grabbed the knife with both my hands and pulled it out of hers;

But she didn't even try to fight back, when I turned back to her, with the knife in my hands, she wasn't even looking at me, she was staring straight at the door, with her eyes wide in fear;

"Sir, you can't— , the guard words were cut short, when another voice intervened,

"Your wife can't go in there, nor can you"

                                 Mother!?

"Why not?, what's so special about this room?" The man questioned,

"This is the princesses room"my mother explained;

" Well I am not leaving until one of you go in there and check" the man said,

"If your insisting I'll go in there and check" mother told "but you all need to turn your back to the door,and you need to be blind folded" it seemed like my mother pointed at the man;

"I'm dead, I am so,so dead" I turned to look at Annabelle, she kept mumbling these words to her self , while slowly shaking her head , soon after it seems like her legs couldn't support her body anymore,

Because she fell to the ground on her knees, she was already excepting that fact that she was going to be found,

I started furiously looking  around the room, until my eyes fell on to the window,

I remember Katharine and Isabelle climbed out of this window one time, I know what I have to do!

"No" I ordered firmly to Annabelle, " your not going to die, I'll make sure of it."

She looked up at me " what are you going to do?" She questioned, I pulled her up on to her feet and pressed her against the side wall of the door, " Stay extremely quiet, and don't move, trust me on this" I ordered her and she nodded,

Knock. Knock.Knock

"Catrina, darling can you please open the door?" mother said, changing her earlier firm voice to a much softer one.

I went to my bed and pressed my mattress down so it made some noise, to the people on the outside of the door it would seem like I'd just got out of bed,

I went to the door,I was calm and collected, with a neutral face when I opened the door,just enough so she could see me but not my room.

Just as expected there she was standing, looking radiant as always , in her deep green dress, behind her were four guards with their backed turned , with one man in a blind fold,

"Sorry to wake you up,darling, but by chance, have you seen a girl with red hair and green eyes?" She asked coming straight to the point, I shake my head, mother looks at me unconvinced for a moment;

"May I look in your room?" It sounded more of a command then a question, I obey, and open the door wide, hiding Annabelle behind it, but mother didn't move, she looked straight at my bed, where Blue and Bella were curiously, looking back at her,

She nods before turning to me " Sorry for waking you up, you can go back to bed now"

      That was quick, I thought to my self,

I closed the door, me and Annabelle both let go a sigh of relief,

"Now what?" She asks, i pointed towards the window, " you can climb out the window"

"What? No!, I will fall" she answers,
" No you'll not, trust me, now go!" I commanded,opening the window, cold hit my face as i helped Annabelle safely climbed out the window, once her feet hit the garden grass,

She ran for the exit to the castle, which was right in front of the garden, she opened the exit door before turning back to look at me;

I waved her a good bye, she smiled and mouthed a 'thank you' before closing the exit door behind her,

For same reason I felt like crying with happiness, that's when I heard Bella bark behind me, almost telling me to go back to sleep,

I sighed, closed the window and climbed back in to my bed , with Bella curled up at my chest and Blue at my feet,

I was exhausted, but excited for tomorrow, because tomorrow, I'll be meeting my prince

Sorry for the small chapter, 😭
I was really busy catching up on sleep💤
I promise tomorrow's chapter is going to be very fun.

What do you think Annabelle's first impression of her future husband gonna be? 🤔
