2 SUU IS KIDNAPPED !!

At the guise mansion .... in the central hall ....

A man ,around in his early 50's , sitting in gothic box chair was looking sternly in utter disgust towards the guards and the soldiers of his mansion.

All the guards at the north gate , main gate , and the ones involved in the escape of the misses were summoned by their lord .

All of them were standing in rows of 5 forming a matrix of 5*10.

All standing in upright position .

the room was filled with such silence , that the voice of the sweat running down guards' foreheads and splashing on the floor could be clearly heard.

"my lord!!!!!! Lady Eli---za---beth" ,said the guard stammering coming out of his line and kneeling in front of the lord summoning all his courage left to break the mournful silence.

"shut up !! shut up before I behead you all !" , the room again was hushed within seconds ,the guards knew very well that these were fires that they could not play with or else their doomsday will close in fast.

Some of them had never seen their lord this angry , so they were more fearsome .

Others who knew their master , were aware of the negligent mistake on their part.

They were behaving as if somebody stole the precious pearls from the mansion ... alas if they were mere petite gems their lord would have forgiven them. But it was his daughters that had gone missing and the anger was that of a miserable father. Father whose life was stuck inside a parrot.....his beloved daughters!!

Suddenly the door opened , and inside came a man yawning , his yawn sounded more like a mockery towards their lord .... the man came and stood next to the kneeling man and said

"Now .. Now... young man !!! .... why go underwater when you don't know how to swim?"

the man raised his head up to look at the man who was signing him to join back in line through the his eyes.

It was non other than Lord Lou ... who else could have spoken in front of their lord like that.

Lou was their lord's best friend , brother of the lady of guise , right hand man of the house of guise's and more importantly the commander in chief of their armies.

Before the man got up ,

"Lou !!! " said their lord in a stern high pitched voice looking in his direction . Since there was silence the voice amplified inside the room sounding 10 times deadlier than before. His eyes throwing daggers that could pierce thru anybody such that holes couldn't be counted in their bodies.

The guard trembled upon and was on his knees again to get balance in his body back.

"come on now Larry !! would you stop scaring the shit out of these fellas ..... some of them have just joined our forces , you don't want them to go running back to their houses do you??" said Lou in a much eased out tone .

" you !!!! , you were guarding the key house right .... how did she still manage to flee" asked Larry , assuming that he had some contribution in this refuge plan .

" you know Lizzie right .....no matter how you would have pushed her , she still would have managed to get past that wall. Your walls can not bind her you know that full well!!"

" You know very well why I stopped her in the first place , with the celebration round the corner and given her personality she is sure to stir up some trouble, there have been more cases of violence in the name of the king , and one never knows what might happen to them in the dense forests!!" Larry said blaming himself .

"and not only this , that brat even got her sister involved this time .... I have only 2 daughters Lou what if something happened to them ...huh ???" Larry said completing his sentence.

The worrisome face which seemed like it had no hopes of living clearly showed the concern he had about his daughters.

"Don't worry she will return in a few days ... she knows how concerned you must be right now !! " said Lou trying to ease out his friend's pain.

"Then why did she leave in the first place" , asked Larry with displeased eyes and a sour heart, thinking where her daughters might be right now.

IN THE FOREST.....

The 2 sisters who technically have fled their mansion and supposedly might have warrant issued under their names had been riding horses for approx. 3 hours now and were tired beyond exhaustion.

The sun was on their head but it's rays were kissing these 2 beauties only when it could penetrate the thick layers of the dense forest (i.e. in between 2 trees).

The 2 ladies were actually walking towards the "RIDDEN CLIFF" .

Ridden cliff was the barren land in the north east direction of the golden kingdom and west from their mansion . It was known for it's medicinal herbs and bushes . The land was paradise for doctors. The only problem was that one had to cross the dense forests ,where the bandits lived!!

It was for her mother who had been quite ill recently.

Sophie agreed to help Lizzie only because it concerned their mother.

Lizzie had already been 3 times to the cliff . Albeit her ventures previously didn't get much success they did increase the chances of survival.... so she knew exactly how they could complete the task at hand swiftly, without drawing any attention towards them.

When they came close enough ,Lizzie told her sister to wait up there and went straight striding towards the scree. Without greater efforts she came back within half an hour with all the herbs she needed .....only to find that her sister was not at the place where she left her.

But her horse was waiting there just like her.

Even if somebody did kidnap her why would they leave the horse there. In a denial mode , she thought maybe .... just maybe she would have gone to the pond nearby .

"yes, she must have gone to the pool ", she contended with herself to calm her nerves down.

When she reached the pond ,she couldn't see anybody.

As she was about to retract she saw blood .

As fear cum horror made it's way from her mind towards her nose and finally thru her mouth ...the only words that came out in an exasperated tone were ..... " Holy Hell!!! suu is kidnapped ."

(FYI : suu is short for Sophie)
