abuse death drink emerald escape gypsy hatred inn innkeeper king life love mystery novel poem prison queen romance thehighwayman tragic

The wind was a torrent of darkness along the gusty trees. The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon the cloudy sees, the road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, and the highwayman came riding up to the old inn door...

Emerald, the daughter of a poor innkeeper, spends her days hidden away, either serving the vile men that gamble and drink in her father's inn, or caring for her violent and abusive father. 

Never having met another soul, beside the men at the Inn, Emerald was lonely. That is, until one night when a strange man appeared at her window, and her whole life changed forever. 

I do not own the plot of this story. I simply got the idea from my favorite poem "The Highwayman " by Alfred Noyes. However, everything else, including names, are mine. 

I added some details to the poem that were never mentioned in it, deal with it!All Rights Reserved

Hiding and Gifted by MCForbes58

"I don't belong to you, you are not my mate." "You are whatever I want you to be. You were given to me as a gift for not killing your pack." "I don't have a pack." "It doesn't matter what you think you are mine. You're going with me. Stay in your room until I come for you." He slams the door shut, "You stand here a make sure she stays in there." "Who the hell is he?" This can't be happening to me, this man thinks he can come here and tell me what I am going to do, he is so wrong. "Gypsy, we need to get out of here, any ideas?" "Your dad put that trap door in your room see if you can fit." I wiggle and squeeze myself trying to get out, "Dad didn't make this big enough." "Think small, you weren't this big when your dad put it in." "I made it out of that stupid small trap door. I can't believe as big as I am I made it out." "I knew you could do it, even with your big hips." "Gypsy, this is not the time to pick on my hips. I wonder if dad always knew I would need to run one day. My room is the only one that has a trap door. He still should of made it bigger." "Don't ask me, that is too much to think about right now." "I made it out, next thing I have to do is get to the fan boats. They don't know anything about the glades, let him try and find me." "You are getting smart in your old age girl, now get us out of here." "Did you think I wouldn't come for her?" I can hear him yelling in the house. There are guards all over, that is why dad is waiting to fight, there are too many. "Gypsy, we have to be careful getting to the fan boats." "Slip around the back building if you don't make it we can shift and take off." "They're not watching the boats, the keys are in the ignition."

"Please," I whisper. "Please what?" There was no mercy on his face not even amusement. "Make me come." The belt still between my legs, If he moves just a little faster, Im there. He kisses me again, keeping his rhythm. "Theres only one way to get It." He hummed. Silence fills the room and I shudder against the belt, remembering what he said first. "You want to break me." I nearly sobbed out. "I've already broken you." His eyes are like trickling fire, a light brown with specks of green In them. "Now, I'll put you back together." He's right, I can't think of anything else. "Please-Please spank me to an orgasm." It's not normal, It's not healthy to need this badly. If he doesn't stop this. I'll die.

Until one day, out of nowhere, all her hope of peace was lost forever. Odd encounters. Unexpected threats. Immediate mortal perils. Ancient creatures. Danger looms at every corner, as her past resurfaces. Azalea is forced to face her long-forgotten fears - but will she brave it all alone? * "What happened?" he asked in a hurry. He knelt down beside her, and cautiously put a hand on her shoulder. She didn't look up; her sleeve was damp with tears. And... blood? "Hey, don't cry!" He winced almost instantly. "Jeez, that sounds like something my mum would say to me." She huffed a short laugh, but returned to gloom at once. "Why did you scream? Your dad was worried." He left out the part where he'd almost died of a heart attack. She didn't reply for a while. "It's - a long story," she whispered finally. "I can't tell you right now. It's got too many pieces of my past, and you wouldn't understand. But just tell him that... the Nahari have returned. For me." #strangerstolovers #friendstolovers #denial #past #revenge #war
