I didn't sleep last night but got up at the crack of dawn. The troops were ready we were waiting on the supplies now.
Adam and Robert drove up in one supply wagon and Elizabeth and another servant was driving another.
The site of another man sitting next to her made me angry.
"Adam change places with that servant. I want you to ride with Elizabeth." I commanded.
"Sure... Is there something wrong?" Adam asked.
I shake my head, "I would just feel better please."
Adam traded places and when the last wagon was ready we set off. If all goes right we should get to Grey Castle by night fall.
When we stop for a break and food I set watching my girl laugh with Robert and Adam. She is my girl and will always be.
I know I will lose her but can't we enjoy some time right now. When we are ready to start off again I ride over to her.
"Ride with me a while. We need to talk." I say holding out my hand.
She takes it and I pull her up to sit in front of me.
Adam smiles and has two of the servants take his wagon so he can ride with Robert.
"So what do you want to talk about?" She asked.
"Stay with me tonight my love. I know tomorrow I lose you forever I just want one more night." I whisper in her ear. I can feel the shiver go through her body.
"Ok" She says leaning back into me.
We ride in silence. Nothing needed to be said we could feel the love between us.
As we approach Grey Castle I had forgotten how powerful it look. Beth was fast asleep in my arms. As everyone made there way in to set up I had to wake her up.
◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇ [Beth]
"Time to wake up." A voice called to me.
I open my eyes and look into the eyes of the man I love but can not have.
I look around and gasp is shock. The Castle is the one from my dream. The nightmare that made little sense to me the one I fought back last time.
"What's wrong?" Max ask seeing my face.
I am stunned into silence and can not get any words out. I feel dizzy all of a sudden as pass out.
Lighting flashes through the sky. I can hear the storm as I run through the woods. This time I stop and listen I hear a child crying no not a child this time a woman in a green dress. She stands at the top of the stairs of the castle ahead.
Another flash then laughter and I walk over to her and she screams and yells "He's mine". I walk past her slowly knowing that I have to go this way I have someone to meet inside.
'Little girl... come out, come out it's time to play' The voice that use to sends a wave of fear threw me now just makes me stand straight and tall.
1 2 3 4 you have opened every door
5 6 7 8 hell is real I'm now at the gate
9 10 11 12 you will die at the sound of the bell
I no longer try to cry out. My voice is strong. "If I must die then you shall go with me."
I run and see the same woman in green with an evil grin. She points a finger and me...'You will never be free. Everyone you love will die.'
"Not today evil witch. I won't run ever again."
Then someone grabs me, I pull away and smile. "Hello dear Uncle." I look up and see my uncle laughing.
'Did you think I would let you go. You are mine to use. I am the only one that has that right. You have no where to hide little one. No where to hide.'
"Who is hidding now dear Uncle. I stand before you this day to show you I am no longer the child with fear but a woman ready to destroy you."
"I was born to destroy you. We shall both go to hell this very night."
'Your powers don't work on me my child I am only an amplifier to make you stronger. When I hold you I will make the world pay for not falling to their knee's for me.'
There is another flash and I'm in a cave It's cold and I'm weak. The woman in green walks in. 'You took my place so I take your life.' I feel this is not part of the plan this is different.
"Who are you? Where am I?" I ask.
"I am Maximum bride. He loved me first. He thinks your dead now and I will fulfill his wish."
This dream is different and I can't tell if its a vision or if its something else. As I close my eyes and wish my self awake a small voice is heard 'Mother please save us. Mother we are here save us'
I wake up and place my hands on my stomach. Could it be? Am I with child? I look up and all three of my men are staring at me.
"Are you all right?" Adam says.
"You passed out. I was scared you've been out for about 15 minutes. " Max said holding me tight.
"I think I had a vision." I tell them of my dream and how it changed at the end.
"Who is the woman in green you loved before me?" I ask looking into Max's face.
Max places a hand on my stomach. Then stands up and walks away without a word.
Adam and Robert watch him go. "Why did he do that?" Adam asked.
"Come lets get you into a room for tonight. There is not much you can do now."
"Adam who is that woman, tell me." I ask.
"Her name is Saundra. He was to marry her but he never loved her. She drugged and rapped him and now she is wanted for treason." He explained.
One of the servants takes us to a room. There are four beds so I lay down on one. For some reason I am tired and drift back to a dreamless sleep.
