"Well, I don't know if you would ever want to see me again?" flagged I.
"that I haven't said princess. " replied she as I helped get her on top of the horse seating on the front and I in the back picking the ropes tightly in my right hand and the other held around her waist.
slowly, we took off for the forest in the night talking calmly. I could feel her hand carress mine until I couldn't resist it anymore. stopped my horse and she startled as I got off.
"is something wrong. did I do something? " inquired she.
Raised my hands up to her as she placed hers in mine. I got off the horse carrying her down. standing closely at the horse side and I walking into her, i fixed the fingers of my right hand into her left that laid close to her thighs then the other placed on top of the horse.
"Am I making any sense about the reason why I have you here or you haven't picked the idea yet?" inquired I growing less and less far from her.
"No. I have not the idea princess. "
"can I show you why?"
"yes." said she calmly having me take my left arm pass to her forehead through the hair, my thumb touched her eyebrows softly with my eyes focused on every single part of her body I felt. gently went low to her chicks with my nails then to her lips. As soon as I had reached her lips, she gasped trying to escape me when I grabbed her around the waist.
" remember, you wanted me to show you didn't you?" said I looking sweetly into her eyes.
"yes."
"may I proceed then?"
"I think it's getting out of hand princess. it's not right."
"but? do you want it?"
"I don't think I do. I barely know you. I don't think I like women either."
"do you want to know me. maybe see if you and I can happen? can you give me that chance? my request please. i will slow down."
"Maybe. yes. I can do that for you. May I head back home? " inquired she when I clicked on asking for another insignificant favor.
"can I ride you home then? please?"
"alright." replied she and I immediately helped her get on the horse. sat in my back and I rode out of the woods to the small road where I had seen her for the second time. it let to the tinny village called Helmes where minor farmers had there homes.
As soon as we got to the village entrance, she asked me to let her head on alone but I insist to not accepting any turn backs.
"someone might see you with me princess. " snapped she.
"do I embarrass you?"
"No. it's just that."
"no nothing. I'm riding you home and I promise. no one will see me."
"with your horse?" chuckled she.
"what's with elvis?"
"he is the most known horse in laska."
"is he? I don't think so."
it was in a few minutes when she asked me to stop just outside a tinny house.
jumped off and helped her come down as well looking around in suspense of someone looking at us.
As we both stood still from my request, an old woman ran out of the house calling onto Tracey.
"where have you been child? can't you see it's late?" said she as I moved a little fixed into the darkness.
"it's nothing grandmother. I'm okay."
"who is the young lady?" inquired she.
"oh! yeah... she is Um. Elizabeth."
'yeah. Elizabeth..." confirmed I.
"thank you for getting my child how madam Elizabeth. "
"it is nothing. Goodnight Tracey. " replied I hoping onto my horse when i heard the lady ask.
"isn't that Elvis, princess Kathryn's horse?"
"No." replied Tracey pushing her inside.
I could then notice how late it was but never cared. My heart was beating fast almost out of my chest, smiling excessively and I could feel it on me.
I reached the palace. Found my mother and father getting their horses ready to head out with Nathan pacing at the entrance door.
"where are you heading to Father? mother?" inquired I as both of them turned sighing relentlessly.
"where were you Kathryn?" mother asked.
"I was riding. I told you not to get worried?"
"that's not fair Kathryn. your the princess of laska. someone can hurt you." explained father.
"But I'm okay. I've been doing this and you trusted me. what happened?"
"we were worried, Nathan thought something happened to you." replied father.
"Nathan. of course." growled I heading to him as he stood boldly at the door. "you don't get to worry about me prince Nathan. not yet not ever. And? look at my father and mother. Don't you ever get them worried for me. let's head inside mother. have a goodnight prince Nathan."
Walked pissed straight to my bedroom locking myself on the inside. I had had a brusque night and wasn't to put up with Nathan's unceasing manly behaviour.
picked in my bed covers to forget about him and just soothed on the fact that I was about to kiss Tracey.
it was then when a dream of her stole me from my consciousness.
I was riding through the forest aiming to find Tracey again when I caught a glimpse of her lying at the age of the lagoon with an arrow in her belly.
Rushed closer placing the back of her head on my thigh as I tried to stop the bleeding and confirming to her that she would be okay which was not true. I watched her gasp to pick a little air then took her last sigh to death. Felt a tear run down my chin when I finally woke up from the nightmare.
Sweating entirely, couldn't pick the sleep again. I wanted to see her, check if she was alright.
it was for a fact that my dreams weren't riddles to solve. they where always clear as they came to me. Atleast I thought.
