Chloe took her horse out and galloped on it through the meadows of Celavia to reach the castle. She was supposed to reach the castle in the next twenty minutes but she urgently had to stop her horse as she saw a queue of ships and lambs. As she stopped she saw a cowboy coming out of the adjacent road. She asked him: Have you seen someone passing from here with a black horse?
"Oh yes, Someone was going but the royal soldiers highjacked him and took him towards the castle through the empty, narrow road that directly traces out to the castle."
Chloe jumped across the lambs with the horse and galloped faster towards the road that was traced by the royal men of Celavia. *Crack*, Chloe deaccelerated her horse's pace and made it crawl through a confusing area . It was a forest which was dark and had a hazy impression on its ground. Chloe walked her horse as the sound of the dry leaves broke the sleep of the forest. As she went a little inside the forest, she found a beautiful stream of clear water. Beside it a board was set which said: ACROSS THE WATER TO FIND CASTLE --->
Chloe wadded her horse through the shallow water at first but as the depth increased, her heartbeat increased at the same time. She took to wade anyway but the horse was already submerged except for its neck. All of a sudden the horse neighed and the water rumled with blood and the horse couldn't stand anymore.
"No! Marton, are you alright?!", Chloe jumped off Marton and started pulling him towards the shore. Someone at the same time pulled Chloe's leg and took her under the muddy yet clear water of the stream. Chloe tried to escape but she couldn't as her eyes were closed. Now, Determined to escape from the situation, Chloe opened her eyes and saw Chris right in front of her. She started panicking. Chris wrapped his strong arms around Chloe's waist and soon found her to be unconscious. Fearing of losing Chloe, Chris took her and came of the stream. He pulled the horse too as he knew that Chloe was adoring that horse from her childhood.
At the castle Chris laid Chloe on his bed and caressed her hair with his fingertips. They both were drenching with water but Chloe was unconscious, how could she change her clothes? So the only thing that Chloe would resent to, happened: Chris changed her clothes on his own and slept just beside Chloe; encircling her little waist with his strong arms. After some four hours, Chloe's sleep broke to find that Chris was lying beside her; at the next moment she found herself confined by the strong arm of the man she presently almost hated.
The room was illuminated by the keen light of the torches in each corner. Chloe couldn't open her eyes properly but felt that a hand wrapped her waist tightly. She gasped and opened her eyes gradually; getting the view of the dome shaped roof with no brim. Living in Aliria, she could easily identify that it was not her place, she twisted her neck which had turned stiff to find that Chris was lying beside her. She jerked her shoulders and tried to get out of the grasp but failed. She jerked harder.
"You are safe!" Chris whispered in her ears while Chloe was jerking him off her. She froze for a moment and closed her eyes to understand that she was under the captivity of Chris.
"Where is Alfakis?" asked Chloe to Chris, preparing her heart for the worst news.
"He is safe too." answered Chris.
