A ride

[Lady Edfeil]

It was to be just a ride. A simple ride. An impulse when she had seen goodman Sithicus ready to ride. And when Lady Annabelle seemed ready for a ride as well, it seemed like an ideal plan. Their first idea for a simple trip to the forest were exchanged for one to the village since it was nearing dusk.
There were outriders sent, and with the sergeant and goodman Sithicus beside them, she was certain nae one would dare bother them. Nae one did. In fact she nae even managed to get more than a few minutes from the castle. All of a sudden, from behind her, Lady Annabelle's horse seemed to bolt, streaking away from them in a dead run. Edfeil lost the reigns, but was nae unseated. Edeline's discipline and her own held as her hands clamped around the saddle knob. The sergeant next to her picked up the reigns and turned the mare back to the castle as Edie begged Sithicus to go after Annabelle. it took but her word for him to rush after her.

Yet before they had reached the safety of the castle walls again, something dark and large rushed out of the gates and in utter bewilderment she recognized Othello. And Gregor on him, with narry even a saddle. The look on his face was one she had nae seen before: a naked, white hot fury. He spoke little as they returned for the castle, save to ask iffen she was unharmed.

Annabelle was Young, though not so Young that she didnt know any better... infact the Lady knew better then to rush, it would have been a lot better and saved a lot of heart ache if she had trotted forward first for a bit....before taking off in a dead run, this way no ones horse would have spooked....but the Lady didnt think that far ahead and had simply taken off in a dead run.... the Lady has a wild spirit that seemed to fly free when she was on Rhett, there had been many a times where she would race with others in her fathers Land....

though on the return trip and in the hall the Lady had found out just how big of a foolish mistake she had made, and had all but gone white at His Highness's words... she wouldnt be suprised at all if she is sent back to her fathers.... that still could happen, thought goodman Andrew had uncovered that she had already knew how to ride... she had no idea he was behind her til He had spoken up... she wouldnt have another take a punishment that wasnt due to them because I had not thought ahead on what ones actions would cost.... after a lecture and slipping out of the hall I had found my self in a dead end... with one of those Walls of a Man that had approached.... she had never seen a Mans eyes glow like she has twice that night and red at that! it wasnt til sometime Later she had finally found her rooms and locked her maid out of her chambers.

this morning Annabelle had slipped out of her chambers and made a run for the gardens where she had ever intentions of spending the day.... though at somepoint she would have to leave the gardens to write a letter to her Father.... even she was concidering returning home, or at the very least sending Rhett Home....
