The Countess and Her Knight

A Dark Crest Novel ------------------------------- You can now find the complete edited version of this novel on amazon! -------------------------------- After getting engaged to a man she's never met. Caroline moves to the Van Estate, where she realizes that her husband to be, is not who he seems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Caroline!" The voice of her pursuer calls out to her, as she turns down the darkly lit corridor, hoping to elude them. But the footsteps only get closer, and closer. She runs down the end of the corridor, to a crossroad. "Right or left?" The footsteps get closer. "Was the exit right or left?!" She thinks to herself, as the voice once again calls out to her. "Caroline! Come out, come out, wherever you are!" "Right!" She turns down the right corridor and runs as fast as she's able. As she gets closer, a bright light shines through. Causing her to almost leap with joy, she had chosen the right way! Or at least that's what she had thought. As she gets closer she realizes that this is in fact a dead end. The light was coming from a window; taking up the majority of the wall. She turns to go back, but she's met with a familiar pair of vibrant, purple eyes, staring back at her from the end of the hallway. She freezes in fear, as the figure grins, and calmly walks towards her. "Found you." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For Updates follow me on Instagram @Zakiyahlwilliams and @KiyahLW

Chapter Sixteen - Diary Entry #2

August 28, 1822

Today was my first, and last riding lesson.

At first everything was going well. My new horse, Buttercup, was sweet. She liked the treat I got her, and got along well with our hound Betsy; until Betsy started barking at something in the woods, and startled her. She began to neigh, and stood up on her hind legs, causing me to fall.

I hit my head. And after that everything went black. The last thing I remember seeing is two red dots staring back at me. I woke up not even an hour later but Marnie was livid. Once Marnie stopped wailing she made me promise not to get on a horse again. And vowed to replace my riding lessons with something less dangerous.

The doctor said that there wasn't any serious damage to my head, but my foot was sprained, and I won't be able to walk on it for a week or two.

Some good did come out of this though. We’re all going out to the country estate in a few days, while I recover, even father got some time off of work to come.

Dissipate everything that happened, I hope that we don't get rid of Buttercup. I know that Marnie will strongly advocate for selling her, hopefully I can convince mother to go against this.

No matter what happens, at least I’ll still have Betsy.
