Princess Vidia~Continued

"Dimitri, hide yourself!" Vidia snatched up her things and headed for the open window. "Princess, please, don't get into trouble!" Dimitri whispered. Vidia swung her legs over the wooden sill, then jumped. She landed quite smoothly, although her right ankle smarted. She limped into the stables. "Riku! Riku, show yourself!" Vidia ordered. Riku appeared from inside a horses stall. "Yes, My Lady?" He asked. His long, straight blonde hair was a bit ruffled, but he still made Vidia's heart skip a beat when he smiled so innocently. "Bring SnowSpark in have her saddled! I'm leaving!" Riku obeyed, but with a little bit of confusion in his eyes. Suddenly, there was a long, high scream in the courtyard. Vidia whirled around. "Melonie!!" She started to run, but someone grabbed her wrist. Riku held her tightly. "LET GO!" Vidia screamed. Riku jerked her into his chest, then fell with a THUMP on the dirt floor. "You fool! they are trying to lure you into a trap!" He hissed. Vidia closed her eyes. "Why? Why are they after me?" She sobbed. Riku softened. "I'm not sure, but I'll help you on your journey." He whispered. "No! I can't bear to put you in danger, my darling!" Vidia's thoughts screamed. But her heart said; "Let him come, he'll be usefull." So, they were off. This is how the story began.

Princess Vidia

Princess Vidia stared in disbelief at the piece of paper before her. In her father's writing it read;
To Princess Vidia, King Samson's third and youngest daughter; 'On Sunday, March the 11th, you will be brought before the Court for questioning. Afterwards, ye will be tied and gagged then dragged to the edge of the kingdom for flogging and then your be-heading. All this is fair and just, and if you care to confess, send for my head-servent. I'm sorry, Dear Vidia. Sincerely, Your Father.'
Vidia felt her face grow red with fury. She tossed the paper into her fire. "Demirti!" She thundere. Her small, chubby servent ran to her with haste. "Have my horse saddled and her bag's filled to the brim! Tell the Smithy to release my dogs, Cedrick and Ann!" Dimitri hurried off. Vidia whirled around and got under her bed. From there, she pulled out her diary and her precious doll Frannie. She tucked them into her small bag, then crawled under again. She gently pulled out her mother's old, battered gold locket. Her heart ached as she gently fingered it. Dimitri burst in. "The King's Counselor is coming! He has guards and a jailer!" He cried. To Be Continued~M.A.F
