Chapter 3 Scars.

"Well now that, that's decided y'all shall be off. There are horses, and soldiers outside waiting for your departure. I'm going to go do some paperwork. Francis?" The Queen stopped and put her hand on her child's face. " If you be good I'll think about allowing you to have that puppy you've been begging for... I know you where planning on going with your siblings whether I said so or not, but does my offer change your mind?" Francis's face lit up in happiness " MHM!" he nodded his head " Well then go see your siblings off and you can go play in the courtyard but make sure either a Butler or a Maid is keeping a eye on you. Do I make myself clear?" the Queen held her gaze firm as she looked at her son " Yes ma'ma!" he went running after his siblings to see them off. The Queen watched the door he had just ran out of for a while she felt kind of sad watching as the door slowly shut. She smiled to herself and walked away heading towards her office.

Elizabeth felt disturbed watching her brother Joan try to get on a horse. He would try to get his leg over the saddle but instead of pulling him self up he would just stand there with his leg on the saddle. Joan's horse looked as if

she would kicked him at any moment.

Elizabeth looked away to try to keep her self from laughing . She started straighting the saddle of her favorite

horse he was a pure white stallion named Fred . Fred was a gentleman far better than any man Elizabeth had met. Not only was he handsome but he would never do anything agressive towards her. But if her brothers would try to ride him. Fred would soon make them wish they did not try.

Elizabeth hauled herself onto the horse and sat up straight looking at the road ahead the road was made out of gravel and it had beautiful green grass around it. Fred's ears flicked back In anger as a soldier came up to Elizabeth. " Miss. Elizabeth are you ready for our departure?" He must have been high in ranking for him to be on a horse of his own she examined him.

She could tell that he was pretty old for his gray hair peeked out from under the steel helmet but other than that he seemed to be in shape.

"Hmm..." she thought to herself for a

moment then looked up to meet his gaze " Yes I'm ready to go." she looked him in the eye the gave a swift kick to make Fred go forward. She turned her

head away from him. ( Something about that guy..... doesn't feel right...) she thought to her self she gave another swift kick to make Fred go into a trot....

When I look at him it makes

my scar burn.... she took one hand off the reigns and held her throat where the scar started. The scar travels from her neck all the why to her abdomen....

She looked forward trying to rid herself of the burning feeling in her scar...
