				A basic outline of the story.<br><br>I am Harrison, a commoner from the village who met you some weeks ago at a ball at which I worked cleaning up. We had eye contact and spoke, as we went to kiss your father found us and banished me from seeing you again. Since then we have been trying desperately to get some time alone together but it has proven more difficult than we first expected.<br><br>A basic bio-<br>Name: Harrison<br>Age:18<br>Height: 5'10"<br>Hair: Dark brown, messy<br>Eyes: Green with some sort of yellow<br>Dresses: Mostly old clothes in darker colours, have a single silver brooch as a family heirloom on my shirt.<br><br>I'm a kind young mad who has fallen insanely in love with you. I have little money and am unsure about what causes you to love me like you do.<br><br>We must find a way to be together!

I nod and look down. "But it seems this is not possible." I walk back to the window and peer out at the castle where you reside.<br><br>"I WILL get to you," I say turning back and walking towards my bed. "I will."

				OOC: Ok thanks :)<br>BIC: Bridget sighed and stared out her window. The only portal out of her prison. As she gazed out at the stars she started to daydream about the night she first met <em>him</em>. He was so charming and cute and funny. Only problem was... he was a peasant and Bridget was forbidden from seeing him.&nbsp; Bridget's eyes wandered over the roof tops of the lonely village as she wondered which house was his.<br><br>"Harrison... Where are you?" she whispered to herself.

				As Harrison led down that night and looked up at the ceiling of his poor man's house he wondered if she had forgetten him already, he turned to his side, closed his eyes and muttered to himself. "Bridget, Bridget" where the only words that could be made out.

				Bridget flopped down on her bed her arms sprawled out. She closed her eyes and tried to picture Harrison's face.&nbsp; But as the days passed his image became more and more blurry. She could just barely make out the sharp incline of his nose and the strong curve of his beautiful face. But it was fading. She sat up quickly. "I have to see him again!" She whispered to herself. In a flash she had jumped out of bed and was rummaging through her closet lookingfor the simplest darkest things she could find. She <em>could not</em> be seen or recognized. Her father would have her head.

				Bridget snuck quietly through the castle halls. Slinky through the shadows and ducking pasts the gaurds. From her many years of practice Bridget had become a pro at sneaking out. She pulled the hood of her dark brown coak over her head hiding her long blond hair. Normally she loved her hair but in situations such as this it drew too much attention. She clutched her cloak tightly her heart racing with anticipation as she finally made it past the last gate and into the quiet village. This was the farthest she'd ever gotten before and now as she set off through the streets fear and uncertainty began to settle in making the cold night feel even colder. She shivered as she looked around nervously her breath visible in the crisp night air.

				Harrion left his house with his hat pulled lower and started the upwards climb towards the palace. He had no real idea how he was going to penertrate the big, unforgiving walls. But he must try he decided as he countinued his jounery. Some mintues later he pasted a girl with her hood up around her face. Harrison thought nothing of it and continued through the empty streets. His heart facing and his fingers freezing. He would do what he could.

				As time passed Bridget had begun to lose faith she would ever find Harrison. The streets were dark and empty save for a few scraglers and urchins littering the sides. There had been one man that she passed who seemed to walk with a sense of purpose. Bridget had been tempted to stop him and ask him if he knew a man by her beloved's name. But she was too fearful of being recognized. Bridget let the man pass and instead rested on the side of a building. She was lost and not paying attention to her surroundings. <br><br>"Well well well, what have we here?" came a rough voice from the shadows of an ally. Bridget jumped back startled and backed herself into a wall as two shady men began to approach her.<br><br>"y-You stay away from me!" She ordered her voice shaking with fear.

				Unaware of what was happening with Bridget, Harrison reached the gates of the palace guarded by two huge guarded covered in silver and gold with the crest of the town upon it. Fearful, Harrison aproached them, "I would.. like entrance." The guardds laughed and told him to "move away." Scared out of his wits, Harrison asked again, with no more confidence than the first time, "I would like to see the Princess." The guard on the left stepped forwards and told him to get away before his head was mounted on the high wall above them.<br><br>Slowly, Harrison turned around and began to walk away. What was he thinking anyway? Him and a Princess, he nodded his head and started his journey home. At least he could see her in his dreams that night, was his only comforting thought.

				Bridget's heart raced as the grimy men came up to her. <em>Oh dear god please help me.</em> She thought as she trembled. <em>I'm such an idiot! I never should have left the palace.</em><br><br>Bridget flinched when the first man, the one who had spoken raised his hand and pulled back her hood. He looked to his partner with an evil grin. "It appears we've got ourselves a palace mouse." he chuckled. "What's a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this?" he asked Bridget touching her face tenderly. Bridget's stomach tied up in knots at his touch and she felt herself going to be sick.<br><br>"Don't touch me!" She hissed and raised her hand to slap the man. But the man caught her wrist and clenched it tightle. Bridget cried out in pain and fell to her knees while he held her hand above her hand.<br><br>"Hold still." he ordered angrily.

				With hands in his pockers Harrison walked back home, past many different alley ways, homeless people and strumpets. He continued to walk until about fifty hards from his house he heard a familar voice. "Don't touch me," it called out in a paniced but somehow angellic tone. Harrison broke into a run, looking into each alley he passed. Then he saw them. They had put Bridget onto their broad shoulders and were carrying her away. <em>I have to do something!</em><br><br>Harrison called out with all the courage he could muster, "leave her!" The second man, not holding Bridget turned and walked towards Harrison and with a swift blow to the head, Harrison hit the ground with a <em>thud!</em> The last thing he saw was Bridget reaching out for him. Then it all went black.

				"Harrison!" Bridget cried out her eyes filling with tears as she reached out for him. "No!" He hit the ground hard and did not move again. "No no no! Harrison!" she cried again.<br><br>"We got the girl, now lets get out of here!" The man carrying Bridget ordered to his partner. "We'll have some fun with her before we kill her." he added with an evil chuckle. Bridget's heart dropped into her stomach hearing this and she froze in horror. They were going to rape and murder her.<br><br>"Help me!" She screamed desperately as they tied a cloth bag over her head and started to run with her. Something hard hit her in the head and her cries for help were cut short.

				Slowly the world materilised around him, he was about fifty yards from his home and it took him a few moments to remember what had happened the night before <em>damn.</em> It his him like a blunt object swung by an ogre. <em>How could he have been so stupid?</em> He got to his feet and rubbed his head. Now what did he do? See the king or try and find her himself?<br><br>He knew he had to do something. He opened his door and drank a glass of water. He had to make a choice, but what one?

				Bridget shivered in the cold. As she laid wide awake on the dirt floor of an old shack That was locked and barred from the outside. She tried to block out the memories of what had happened last night closing her eyes tightly. Her clothes were torn and her body bruised. But they had not taken her virginity yet so she knew they would keep her alive for a little while longer.<br><br>'What's the use." She whimpered helplessly. She could only pray that Harrison was alright.<br><br>OOC: I have to go but I'll be back as soon as I can.

				Harrison walked back out of his house, it was midday now and he had decided it was his fault she had gone missing, it was his responsiblity to get her back.<br><br>First thing he would do is go and talk to people at the market, that's where people gossiped and knew about the goings on around. He entered the market and walked up to first stool, "Do you know anything about the Princess?" he asked as cooly as he could. He continued round the market, asking at each stool in turn. <em>Will anyone help me?</em> he started to think after a little while of people turning him away.<br><br>OOC: Cool, I'll probably sleep (I am in the UK) so I'll speak to you and continue this tomorrow!

				Bridget grew weary fast. But she was afraid to close her eyes for even a moment, sure her captures would return for her any second. Her hair was caked in dust and knotted with rats and snarls&nbsp; and it no longer held it's original luster and shine. She was hungry and she was cold and she was positive should would never see her mother or her father or her beloved Harrison again. Finally she gave into her exhaustion and curled up in a ball and fell asleep. <br><br>In the market things were going as they normally did on a bright sunday morning. That was until half of the king's army came bursting through the streets in search of the princess who had been discovered as missing from her room ealier this morning. Two shadowy characters in particular had taken no notice of Harrison knowing he would not recognize them. It had been too dark last night to really make out any details. But when the kings guard arrived they quickly started to hurry away.<br><br>OOC: awe ok! Ttyl!

				Harrison turned to see the King's Guards crossing the market. They ignored him completely, he was a no one, another face in the crowd. Disheartened he started to sulk away from the market. As he left a man approached him with a hood over his head he called out, "Pst, over here." Harrison looked around, seeing he was the only one that the man could be calling he walked towards him, wary at first. "Its OK, I have information about a girl getting snatched that I heard you wanted."<br><br>Five minutes later Harrison walked away from the man armed with new information and a new destination.

				OOC: Hello Skyro! ^^<br>BIC: Bridget snapped her eyes open to a loud clattering that had woken her. She sat up quickly and pushed herself back against a wall as far away from the only door in the room as she could get. Adrenaline pumped through her veins making her heart pound like wild. Paniced she waited as the clatter and heavy footsetps came closer.<br><br>"She's the princess!" the man from the night before was shouting. "We have to kill her now, we can't risk them finding us!"

				Harrison had a long way to go, they had taken her to some place in the middle of the marshes, the old man reckoned it was abanded sometime ago and since then had been used for a whole host of different uses, and it seemed like at this moment in time it was the place of capture for the Princess.<br><br>Unsure how to proceed, Harrison began his way towards the marshes. It would take several hours, most of it walking through the marshes themselves but he had no choice.<br><br>He also had no idea how to get her out.

				The man, one of Bridget's captors, lets just call him Jack, burst into the shack where Bridget was being held. His face was red with anger as he marched up to Bridget and yanked her to her feet by her hair making her scream in pain.<br><br>"Shut up!" Jack hissed at her as she began to cry. He pushed her roughly out side where his partner was waiting. "Tie her up." Jack ordered him thowing Bridget at him.<br><br>"No! let me go!" Bridget cried out. She kicked and thrashed until she was able to get loose. She took this opportunity to run. Where she had no idea. Anywhere but here.

				Some hours later Harrison arrived at the shack, or rather, a sinder. After Bridget had escaped her captures decided that it was best to burn anything leading them back to it. And so the shack was burnt. <br><br>Harrison was a gentle person and not often did he curse, but he did now. "****," he said kicking the remains of the house. How could he have been so slow? Now how would he find her?<br><br>He turned around and looked out in front of him, and then look in the other direction. Then he spotted some footprints. Three tracks were present, almost fading. It was getting dark and the light was fading quick. Harrison could make out a small set of footprints, barely visible and it appeared whoever had made them was barefoot. The other two tracks appeared to be much bigger, and followed the smaller tracks.<br><br>Now Harrison knew where he must head.

				Bridget ran until she couldn't ran anymore. Panting and fighting off hunger pains and exhaughstion she collapsed at the base of a huge wide oak. Night settled over the quiet marsh quickly and Bridget was plunged into one of the darkest and coldest nights she had ever experienced. She rubbed her arms and shivered in the cold trying to stay warm. But it was useless. She looked up at the velvet sky filled with bright stars. She was safe for now. Though those men had followed her after she ran she had managed to lose them. She curled up and laid her head on a large root that was sticking out of the ground. If she survived the night she'd head back the way she had come and try and find her way back to town. Within a few minutes she could no longer keep her heavy eyelids open and she fell asleep.

He was in the middle of a marsh, it was dark and there were two huge men around looking for the one he loved.<br><br>He had to beat them to her!<br><br>He walked and walked until he could no longer see his own nose in front of him. He would have to find somewhere safe to spend the night, but where? <em>Ow</em> He said, walking into a large tree. He would have to spend the night here, he lead down and tried to sleep. Sleep was a long time coming but eventually his tired eyes could stay open last move. He could have sworn he heard his name mumbled as he fell fast asleep.

				Morning came and with it the bright sun. But it was not the sun that woke Bridget. It wasn't the sun that warmed her freezing body or that kept her alive all night long. Bridget felt herself coming back to consciousness but she didn't open her eyes. Her mind was fuzzy and she struggled to remember where she was and she was too comfortable where she was, she didn't want to wake up.<br><br>Bridget sighed and burrowed deeper into the warm hard blanket that had wrapped itself around her. It felt like strong arms were holding her and keeping her close. She had no idea where they had come from but she was thankful for them now as she tried to catch a little more sleep.

And now here he was again with the Princess in his arms. He kicked Harrison hard waking him up.<br><br>"You have a death wish son?" Jack barked loudly startlying Bridget awake. She gasped recognizing the rough voice and pushed away as quickly as she could sitting up and backing away. "Grab her!" Jack ordered to his partner.

				When Harrison awoke, he was bleeding. He had been cut and was very light headed. <em>I'm alive. Where's Bridget?</em> is all that ran through his head. Tearing the sleeve of his shirt, he tied just above the cut and tried to stop the bleeding. <br><br>They had tried to kill him. They had failed.<br><br>Bridget was nearby, she too was bleeding heavily and much of her clothes had been torn. Harrison avoided thinking about what&nbsp; they had done to her. He reached down and took her in his arms, using the other sleeve, attempted to stop her bleeding.<br><br>With all this done, Harrison had little energy, kissing the top of the Princess' head, he put his head back and let sleep come to him. His last though was; <em>Will I ever wake up?</em>

				Bridget opened her eyes slowly but did not move. <em>I'm alive?</em> She thought in disbelief but the thought was not very reassuring. She knew she had been hurt, and hurt badly. But the pain was numbed by an even greater pain. She didn't want to look around in search of her beloved. She knew they had killed him and she didn't not want to see his body. She only prayed she would join him soon in death. <br><br>Sorrow gripped her heart and before she could stop herself her body was being raked with tremendous sobs. "What have I done?" she cried to herself "this is all my fault!"

There she say, sobbing.<br><br>He rose and made his way over to her, while she looked at the ground, tears running over her beautiful cheeks Harrison raised a hand and gently placed it on her head. She looked up at him. "Its OK," he reassured her, "Time to go home now."<br><br>The next two things Harrison considered were, <em>What would the king say? Would I have a head tomorrow</em> and <em>They hurt her. I'll make them pay, even if it does cost me my head.</em>

				Startled by the movement and the hand on her head Bridget looked up with fear in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harrison relief washed over her. He was alive! She gasped and the tears turned into tears of joy. Forgetting her injury and the bleeding in her side she threw herself at Harrison wrapping her arms around his neck.<br><br>"Harrison!" she sobed into him. "Oh you're alive!" she buried her face in his blood stained shirt. "Either that or this is heaven." she sighed to herself.

				Bridget's feet dragged even more. She felt bad for leaning on Harrison so much but she just couldn't stay on her feet. She felt dizzy and lightheaded and she couldn't focuss on much, her thoughts fleeting and short lived. But she was not afraid for her life. She was happy, even if she was mortally wounded and near death, she was happy because Harrision was with her.<br><br>As they walked she stumbled over a tree root and her knees buckled under her bringing all her weight down on Harrison as she fell. try as she might she couldn't manage to lift herself back up.<br><br>"Harrison..." she breathed.

Her head lulled back exposing her long slender neck covered in bruises and her hair fell softly around her face.<br><br>"Can we... just take a little break?" she whispered as she struggled to stay conscious.

Harrison fell to his knees beside Bridget, he places his hand on her chest, her heart was beating, it was slow and Harrison didn't feel it would hold out for long. <br><br>Getting back to his feet, he lifted Bridget into his arms. He didn't think he would hold out for much longer either, but he had to try.

				OOC: So I was thinking The King's army <em>does</em> find them, just, not yet. Like perhapes they make it safely to the town that Madaline gave them directions to, but since Bridget's been missing for so long the search for her has expanded into nearby kingdoms. So there will be guards there waiting for them.

				Warm delicious smells wafted through the open door to the room where Bridget and Harrison had been staying the past couple of days. Soft giggles like the chimes of a bell could be heard under the gentle whisper of conversation in the other room. Bridget stood over Madaline's fire stove, scrambling fresh eggs from the chickens that the old woman kept out back. <br><br>Her face was alight with cheerful laughter as she spoke and gossiped about the recent goings on in her kingdom with Madaline, completely at ease and comfortable here in a the small cabin wearing, less than fancy clothes, and using her own two hands to prepare a meal. It was a whole new experience for the young princess and she found she enjoyed it. Like something inside her was just built to do this sort of thing.<br><br>It was easy for Bridget right then. There would be no more questioning about what she wanted. Even if she had to beg for work to help Harrison keep a home for the two of them, she would do it.<br><br>In a long earthy dress with her long golden curls draped around her neck, Bridget danced around the tiny kitchen doing as Madaline instructed and learning to prepare a meal for Harrison and herself. Unaware that Harrison had awoken.

				Harrison rose and sat on the bed for a moment, the rich smell of cooking wofting through the door that was ajar in front of him. Running a hand through his dark hair, he made his way to the door and peered out side.<br><br>There she was, the most beautiful thing Harrison had ever seen. She wasn't fancy, she wasn't caked in make up, she was her as she was intended to be. She was beautiful. <br><br>Harrison stood there for some moments watching her before finally opening the door and stepping into the room. He leant against the wall and watched her some more. She hadn't even noticed he was in the room yet! <br><br>He stepped forwards and walked behind her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close from behind, he kissed the top of her head and held her there until he realised that Madaline was still in the room. Embarrased, he stepped back and bowed to Madaline, "I'm sorry ma'm," he mumbled and smiled. <br><br>Madaline simply waved him away, "I'll leave you in peace." She replied and scurried out of the room, a smile across her face. <em>Its beautiful, and I hope it lasts,</em> she thought remembering her late husband.

				Bridget gasped startled by Harrison when he came up behind her and pulled her into him. Then she blushed and giggled shyly turning around to face Harrison. She loved the way his hands, gentle and strong, were tender to touch her and the way his eyes glowed with love. She was sure her own eyes were a light blue reflection of his. <br><br>She blushed brighter when he softly kissed her head, in the way she had come to love as much as she loved him, and she was disapointed when he backed away from her letting her go completely. But she smiled and waved gratefully at Madaline as the old maid left the room. She didn't have to after all, this was her house.<br><br>Thinking about it that way made Bridget long for a home to call her own.<br><br>"Good morning m'lord." Bridget greeted Harrison quietly when they were alone, she added a fine curtsy and a dip of the head at the end with a beautiful smile up at him. "I trust you slept well?" she asked.

				"The best I've slept in a long time." He replied to her and pulled her close again. "Why are you up so early?" He asked but before she could reply, he planted his lips on hers again for a few seconds.<br><br>When he pulled away he smiled and moved to sit down nearby while Bridget turned back too cook. Watching her once again, he smiled and started to consider the idea that all this could become commonplace for him. <br><br><em>A place to call home.</em> That would be nice.

Once again Bridget felt herself flying head over heals wrapped up in his scent and his arms and in kissing him.<br><br>She felt his eyes on her as she turned back to finish cooking the eggs and smiled to herself.

				They ate in peace, looking up only occassional to stare into each other's eyes. They were lost in each other. Harrison wanted this to never end, but eventually, of course, it did.<br><br>Harrison rose, cleared away the plates and returned back to the bedroom to sort the final things they would need to leave and go and start their new life.

				Bridget came running out to meet Harrison. She had her hair pinned up again so it wouldn't get in the way while they travled, and she was now wearing a pair of briches instead of a dress or a skirt. She had woken up early this morning with Madaline and together they crafted one of Madaline's old skirts into some travel easy leggings of Bridget.<br><br>Bridget felt a little odd wearing what was considered to be men's clothing, she wasn't too sure she liked the way the fabric felt between her legs. But it was a necesity. She didn't want to burden Harrison or slow them down because she couldn't walk over the rough terrain in a dress. The shoes she wore were simple brown flats made of deer hide not ideal for trecking across the mooreland but it was all she had.<br><br>She slung a small pack over her shoulder and strapped a strip of leather around her waist that sheathed a small sharp dagger. <br><br>"I'm ready now." She replied to Harrison walking up to him as he readied to leave.

				When he saw Bridget he didn't know what to say. She wasn't wearing what is considered the regular outfit for a young lady but she was radiant. He wanted to take her right then, in his arms and kiss her for all eternity. But there were more serious matters at hand.<br><br>Hoisting a bag over his shoulder and seathing a short sword Madaline had loaned him into his belt, he waved goodbye to Madaline and took Bridget by the hand. This was the start of their new life together.<br><br>They walked out the gate happier than could be, and they were about to walk over mooreland for days. <em>True love works in funny ways,</em> Harrison thought.

				bridget kept up with Harrison well for quite a while. And she found she enjoyed every second of his company as they walked on and on. She trusted he knew where he was going so instead of worrying about wheather she had seen that same tree not more than five minutes ago, she just followed him, looking up at the sky at times enjoying the view around her and taking in all the wonderful sights sounds and scents.<br><br>&nbsp;It was a whole different world out here. Even though it was the same marsh that had held her prisoner and almost taken her life not two days ago, Bridget felt light and happy with Harrison's hand in hers.<br><br>Before too long though, when the sun was at it's highest in the sky and the heat was at it's peek, Bridget began to slow. She tried not to let Harrison notice her fatigue detirmained to keep up with him and not slow him down.

				After a long time of walking, talking about nothing in particular, Bridget started to slow. She tried not to let on but Harrison could tell, she wasn't use to this after all.<br><br>"Bridget, do you want to rest?" he asked quietly, resting an arm on her shoulder. "I could do with one anyway!" He looked at her and waited for her response, they walked for a few more minutes before she gave in. <br><br>Sitting down by a tree, Harrison put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer as she rested her head on his shoulder. He sat there for a few minutes, looking out at the mooreland. It was quite the site, with the short shadows and greenery, in the distance he could just about make out a series of large, wide oak trees. All the oaks stood in a perfect row, just watching Harrion and Bridget as they rested for a short while.<br><br>Harrison ran his hand through her hair, <em>our new life can start soon.</em>

				They walked for several hours, stopping every hour of so to sit for five minutes and sip some water before continuing their journey. Harrison saw some of the landmarks the old lady had pointed out and estimated that they should arrive at around dusk the next night.<br><br>As the night grew darker, Harrison felt it time to take some cover. Sitting under a tree, he laided out some blankets below them and some clothes in piles for pillows. With a blanket over the two of them, they pulled each other close and sat in silence for a long time, just feeling each other's hot breathe upon one another. Just happy to have each other.

So close together like this Bridget could not feel the bitter cold of the night around them.<br><br>She rested her head just below Harrison's chin sighing into his chest content to just be. To be here with him like this. The way things were going now it wasn't hard for Bridget to imagine it going on like this forever.

				Bridget didn't think they would ever get there fast enough. After a while she finally did quiet down but she never lost the sheen of excitement in her eyes.<br><br>It wasn't until they finally reached the town where their lives would finally begin that Bridget started to have doubts and worries filling her head. Nervous, Bridget slowed to a stop on the outskirts of town and just stared at the unfamiliar village ahead of them. As far as she could tell it wasn't any different from the village in her kingdom, but she never really got to see much of her village being confined to the castle so she wasn't sure.<br><br>Bridget hesitated unsure about this all of the sudden. There were so many people, strangers, people she didn't know and who could very well be hostile, men in particular scared her. Two bigger meaner looking men were loading crates into the back of a wagon when Bridget and Harrison approached. Bridget's eyes met with one of them and she froze in her tracks, petrified. <br><br>Though they were not the men that had attacked her and almost killed her, it wasn't hard for Bridget to imagine their faces on the harmless workers in the street. And with it came the memory of what had happened to her all those nights ago. Image after horrible image flashed before her eyes and Bridget began to tremble slightly as she stood stalk still in horror.<br><br>Her heart began to race and a bead of sweat rolled down her brow. She was no longer in the quiet village but reliving everything that had gone on that night she had snuck out to find Harrison and the terrible days that followed up until they found Madaline.

				They arrived and stood on the outskirts of town. Harrison could get used to this, it wasn't much different than where he was from himself. He turned to face Bridget, expected to see her beautiful and happy features but what he saw was not a happy young later but a fearful, frightened young girl.<br><br>Wrapping his arms around his love and pulling her close he began to reassure her that it was okay. "If you want to go home, I will take you home." He began to tell her. <em>This was a bad idea.</em> He held her close and they found their way to the nearest pub to sit down. He sat her down and they stayed silent for a few moment. Neither dared to speak... Until the doors of the bar crashed open.

They were men, unlike the men in the street, who Bridget knew well. Sir Theodore, her father's right hand man and most trusted of knights, was in the lead. Followed by Sir Edward and Sir Aidan, a young boy who had just recently been promoted from the rank of squire after the recent battle with a warring kingdom.<br><br>Bridget had known Sir Theodore since she was just a baby. He was older in his late thirties and a very close friend of her father's. Bridget was quite fond of the knight as well. he had always treated her with kindness and respect, and had been a good mentor through out her adolecent years. <br><br>However, Unbeknownst to young Bridget, Sir Theodore had also grown a little <em>too</em> fond of the young and beautiful princess. Several weeks ago the knight had gone before the king seeking Bridget's hand in mariage and, with out asking or consolting her, Bridget's wedding date had been set. Of course Bridget had no idea about any of this.<br><br>"Sir Theodore!?" Bridget gasped in disbelief and shock when the familar man came rushing into the bar.

A rush of panic came to Harrison and hit him like a train. He was going to lose her.<br><br>The guards searched around the room, quickly surveying the surroundings. Bridget looks quite different from the days where she wore long dresses and many jewels but the guards quickly spotted her... and who she was with. Harrison gulped.<br><br>-- Theodore saw her and a smile crossed his lips. He wanted nothing more than her, oh the things he would do to her when he had her hand in marriage.<br><br>He walked up to her.. and that man that was with her and stood tall above them. "Time to go home." He paused, looked at Harrison, "Sweetie."

				"S-sir Theodore." Bridget stumbled still a little shocked. "How? How did you find me?" She asked taking a step closer to Harrison and fitting her hand into his. She squeezed his hand letting him know how scared she was, and not just for herself.<br><br>Meanwhile Aidan was looking around the shabby little pub a bit nervously. Everyone was staring at the scene the knights had caused and many were mumbling in irritants to each other. One man looked ready to throw Bridget to the dogs since she seemed to be the cause of the disturbance. <br><br>Edward stood beside Theodore strong and proud. He was a bit taller than Theodore and a lot meaner looking. He eyed Harrison suspiciously and a flash of recognition crossed his features. He knew Harrison. Edward had been the one to escort the boy out when the King found his daughter with him. Seethed in anger Edward waited for a command from Theodore. It wouldn't take more than a few seconds to draw his sword and he'd be wiping Harrison's blood from his blade with pride. To kill the traitor who kidnapped the princess would be a great honor.

				As Bridget reached out and took Harrison's hand, he turned to look at her. Fear was in her eyes, fear shook his entire body.<br><br>He looked back at Theodore, "Good Sir, P.." He stuttered and looked at his feet, "Please, I love her so." He looked back at Theodore again, muster up the most pleading and sincere look upon his face possible, and bowed his head slightly. "And she loves me." He closed his eyes, knowing it was useless.<br><br>-- Theodore looked at the helpless man stutter, he probably did love her, but as far as Theodore was concerned, Bridget's hand (and the rest of her body) belonged to him. And he wasn't about to let her go.<br><br>"She is mine actually," he turned to Bridget, "Your father has gifted you to me." He snarled at the Harrison. "And I gift to you, a clean death." He gestured to Edward and then to Harrison. <em>Have him disposed of.</em>

Bridget cried her heart pounding in her chest and panic making her feel faint.<br><br>With the tip of his blade under harrison's chin Edward lifted the man's head, exposing his neck. He met Harrioson's fear stricken eyes with a steely look of hatred.<br><br>"Theodore please! don't-" before her eyes Edward drew his sword back and prepared to strike Harrison down in one blow. "No!" Bridget screamed. She lunged at Sir Theodore doing the first thing that came to mind, the one thing that would save her love's life.

				Harrison didn't know how to react. Bridget kissing a man he depised was disgusting him. But she had saved his life. He stayed silent and stared at the Knight, awating his response. He could hardly even blink, in fear his life would end and never again would he see Bridget.<br><br>-- Theodore was surprised but instantly, his outlook changed. "As you wish" he said quietly, forcing Bridget to kiss him again and holding her close and wouldn't allow to go. "Edward, lower your blade." <br><br>He didn't really want to, but he felt it was best, if he wouldn't to marry her without any issues. He snarled at Harrison and then gestured for two other guards to escort him, they would leave in carriage and would be back in the town by dawn the next morning. "Allow us to leave," he force yet another kiss, "with my bride and this..." he paused, "peasent," he snarled.

				Every time Theodore kissed her Bridget had to force down a gag. But she didn't resist and she tried to kiss him back. Shame weighed heavily on her heart as she did so and she couldn't even bring herself to look at Harrison. She kept her eyes down and clung to Theodore trying to act as believable as possible.<br><br>Edward grumbled under his breath and sheathed his sword. Shooting a murderous glare at Harrison he shoved the prisoner forward to follow Bridget and Theodore. Out at the carriage Edward shackled Harrison's wrists and put him on a horse with Aidan before he mounted his own horse that would follow the carriage. <br><br>After Bridget and Theodore were settled inside the carriage Aidan rode his horse up to the window.<br><br>"I'm glad you are well Princess." he said with a kind smile. "The king will be glad to see you." he added. <br><br>Bridget gave Aidan a tiny smile and nodded, avoiding Harrison's eyes.

				Harrison felt his stomach turn as he saw Bridget kiss Theodore again, each time he just wanted to reach up and break the knight's nose. Each time, he resisted the tempation. It was best that he did nothing. He looked at Edward and narrowed his eyes as if to say <em>better luck next time.</em> He was now say upon a horse in shackles with a younger soldier. Poor kid roped in to do a King's dirty work.<br><br>He closed his eyes, he'd be back in the town soon, ready to meet his fate.<br><br>--Theodore laughed as he left with Bridget on his arm, everything had worked out perfectly. <br><br>He mounted his horse, took the reigns and ordered his men to return to their town. "Men, back!" each one turned their horses and followed, blinding towards Harrison's doom.<br><br>Theodore was enjoying this, he got to have a man killed and the body of a young lady.

				Throughout the entire ride Bridget remained silent, lost in her thoughts and dispair. She longed to be in Harrison's arms but instead she was helping to lead him to his death. Soft tears rolled down her cheeks making a trail on her beautiful face. <br><br>It was hard to believe that not more than a few hours ago the only thing Bridget could see was Harrison and the life she was going to have with him. And now it appeared that would never happen. Instead she'd be wed to an old perverted knight who was going to make sure Harrison was dead by dawn the day after they returned to their kingdom.

				Harrison stayed silent for the hours they spent riding. It was early morning when they finally reached their destination, the old town. When the keep came into view, his last strand of hope faded. His life was over, he didn't complain when they stopped, nor did he complain when he was forced off the horse, nor did he comeplain when they threw him in prison for treason and kidnap.<br><br>-- Theodore smiled, a job well done he thought. Tonight he would make a women of this girl, and he would have man slain. His night couldn't have got much better. Next, he must see the king. "Deal with him, put him in the prisons" he said leaving to see the king and to claim his prise.

				Bridget watched as the guards took Harrison away roughly to throw him into a dark and dirty cell. She wanted to stand up for him order the guards to be careful with him or better yet, release him. But she couldn't. Not if she wanted Harrison to live for as long as possible. Even if it was hopeless, even if she would lose him forever, he had to live for just a little while longer.<br><br>The guards threw Harrison into a damp cell in the dungeon of the castle where there was no light. Rats and spiders and all sorts of other creepy crawly things, scattered and sprang up from the shadows to meet him. Edward made sure to escort Harrison there personally.<br><br>"The king will have you executed before the night is up." he growled. "I'll do it myself if I have to but you, will, die." Edward hissed and kicked Harrison hard in the gut making him double over and fall to the ground coughing and gaging.

Bridget shivered at the thought.

Just sat.<br><br>-- "Sir, I have the prisoner who kidnapped your daughter in the prisons and I have returned your daughter to you."

I shall never again fear for her life with you at her side and in her bed." he praised. "You may take Bridget tonight as well deserved reward for rescuing her.

If he was to be part of hte family then it was certainly okay for him to stay in the keep! <br><br>He entered his chambers and looked around, all of his things had started to arrive, the kings men worked quickly, they were effiecent and most of all, they were scared. And scared people will do anything if you tell them you'll have their head.<br><br>He sat on the edge of the bed and sheaded the cloak he had been wearing all day, rested his long sword on the dresser and removed his cap which he had to wear as a sign of respect to the king.<br><br>He breathed a sigh and relief and looked in the mirror. <em>I'm a handsome fellow</em> he beleived, he knew little about what the town's people said about him in all honesty.

				After a few hours of scrubing and primping, and after Bridget had her hair nearly torn out of it's roots to be pulled up into a tight crown of curls, braided and twisted and pinned atop her head, and after her face and neck and chest had been throughly powdered and layers of make up added, Bridget was finally left alone in her chambers to be called upon later when she would be needed. <br><br>Bridget stood and looked at herself in the long elligant mirror framed with vines of gold and thorns of silver that was mounted on her wall. She had a very bad feeling about the way she had been dressed. They were garnments she had never seen before in her life until this day and they did not appear to be appropriate for everyday wear. <br><br>Bridget knew all too well what the thin white silk meant that clung snuggly to her figure and the flowing long white lace that was draped over her shoulders and hung loosely around her bare arms pooling delicately at her bare feet. Too much skin of her arms and legs and chest were showing than Bridget was comfortable with and she'd have liked to change, but she didn't have time.<br><br>Checking to make sure the halls were empty before she snuck out of her room and stole silently down the spiraling staircases, Bridget made her way down to the dungeon where Harrison was waiting. Stealing a lantern from the wall she hurried down the line of cells. She saw him sitting in the darkness in one corner of a cell and went to the bars with a hushed and strangled cry.<br><br>"Harrison!" she breathed reaching for him desperately through the bars, tears already making their way down her cheeks, ruining her make up.

Now he was ready to die.<br><br>Pulling away, he stared deep into her eyes. "I love you." He said, retreating to the back of the cell.
