ooc: haha BAM!

Elizabeth struggled as the knight grabbed her and pulled her up. He raced off as quick as he could so Harry could not catch up with him.

"Nothing." Lucas said avoiding her face. "You can stay." he added, and then mubbled under his breath, "with Derek."
Then he nudges his horse on.
 
ooc: dang it!


ic: Harry yelled after and tried to catch up.



Kirsti stepped back then ran to catch up again. "What's that supposed to mean?"
 
ooc: haha :D

ic:
The knight rode as fast as he could back to the castle. He was in such a rush he had no idea whether Harry was behind him or not, but he slowly removed his hand from her mouth, as she was still struggling to free herself, but not screaming as much.

Lucas slowed his horse and sighed, trying not to put his temper up. "I realize this isn't my place, and I should leave. I understand if you don't want to be with me." He looked into her eyes one last time for a bit of hope, but realized he was just setting himself up. He turned away and quickly galloped out of site.
 
ooc: Lucas! GAH!


ic: Harry finally caught up and was right beside the knight. "Give her back now."



Kirsti yelled after him, "What are you talking about?!"
 
ooc: tehehe :D

ic:
The knight quickly elbowed Harry, almost knocking him off hise horse. He arrived at the castle immediatly and grabbed Elizabeth tightly and dismounted his horse and tied it quickly before unshealthing his sword, sure that Harry would soon be behind them.

Lucas looked back sadly and shook his head, but continued off. Once he arrived at the gardens he dismounted and let his horse graze in the field near by and he took a walk around the garden, wonder how he could have fallen for Kirsti, even when they were young, when she already had someone else in her eye.
 
ooc: For heaven's sake...


ic: Harry jumped off his horse and untied the knights horse. The horse got frightened and ran at the knight and Kirsti. The knight was frozen with fear and Harry ran in snatched Elizabeth back and cringed at the sound of crunched bones. "You alright?" he asked her.



Kirsti began to cry. Why did he just leave her?

Elizabeth panted, and nodded, out of breath. Then all of a sudden she hugged him tightly as she saw 3 gaurds with weapons enter with her father.

The horse still a tad frightened turned and ran straight into the forrest.
 
"Hurry!" he whispered and pulled her out of sight quickly.


Kirsti saw the horse and got on. She rode silently to the gardens and saw Lucas. "Lucas..." she began.
 
Tears fell from Elizabeth's eyes as they hid behind a stall door. She had started to realize it wasn't so fun anymore.

Lucas turned around and saw Kirsti. "I thought you were staying back in the forest with Derek and them?" he asked her, wondering why she had followed him if she were fond of Derek.
 
"I was in a terrible spot, you were highly accepted, and I was not. It was not my place to stay there." Lucas said to her. "Plus you seem fond of that Derek character, I noticed." he added.

Elizabeth shook her head trying to keep her tears back. It will never end, she thought to herself.
 
"I can hardly believe that." Lucas said glumly. "I know how you looked at him."

Elizabeth was trying to stope her stifling sound, but it didn't work. The nearest horse became spooked, which alarmed the King and the guards.
"Seize him!" The king roared as he caught sight of Harry with Elizabeth. He lost his temper and snatched Elizabeth away and pulled her along into the castle.
The Gaurds moved quick, and tied Harry's hands behind his back. Then they drug him into the dark and cold dungeon of the castle, and chained him there.
 
"You know nothing then!" she cried, getting angry.

Harry groaned as he hit the stone floor. It smelled horrible, like rotting...rotting something. He looked around and saw a body. "Ugh." he couldn't call for help, so he felt helpess.
 
"Father, stop it!!" Elizabeth screamed over and over again as he pulled her in, and sat her in a chair directly infront of the duke.
"You will marry the duke," her father said in a firm tone. "And you shall never see that ratty peasant boy again, have you got that clear young lady?"

"He is not a ratty peasant boy!" she screamed as she tried to get up, but was pushed back down with a slightly agressive and firm hand.

"I? You hardly know how I've elt through out the years. And just when I thought there was a chance I see how you act around that Derek fellow!" Lucas said a bit louder.
 
"Oh a bit more friendly, I should think!" Lucas yelled. "You looked at him more differently than the others. I saw. He even realized it, and so I was put out of place!"

"Enough!" The king roared, but Elizabeth still kept fighting back. "You will marry Edward soon, and you shall be kept close within his home. You shall not travel out into the town or woods or anywhere." the King told her.

"My lord," one of the gaurds said coming up to the king. "Shall we leave the boy there or..." The king quickly made a cut-throat motion and the guard left immedatly.

"Father, you can't!" Elizabeth screamed at the top of her lungs.

edit: ooc: okay, the Duke Edward (a random character I made up a while ago): basically Elizabeth's father (ak king) is forcing her to marry Duke Edward and she doesn't want to she despises him and wants to be with Harry.. so basically you like Elizabeth a lot and your kinda evil-ish, lol.

Kirsti's hands flew to her face. She didn't want him to see her crying. She wiped her eyes quickly. "Well....you're quite mistaken! He's just a friend for bloody heaven's sake!"


Harry felt his stomach knot when he heard Elizabeth scream father you can't.
 
"Oh, so I am in the wrong for not recognizing this tight freindship, am I?" Lucas said, quite frusterated. He didn't understand how she could look at someone else the way she had looked at him once before.

Elizabeth stood up and immediatly tripped over the Duke's feet. The King pulled her up by her arm and sat her down once again. "There will be no more of this!" he ordered her and then called a gaurd to watch her. The King then went down to the dungeon before the gaurds were to off him to speak to him.

"You, boy. You have caused enough trouble for us. Its time for you to leave." he said in a normal tone, but quite servre.
