EARLY MORNING SUNLIGHT filled the windows as Remmie snored loudly beside me. I wondered how I had managed to fall asleep; he sounded like a charging bear. Some of his hair had come free from his braid and fanned out on the bed around him. I picked a stray strand and rubbed it between my fingers. It was silky smooth. Watching him sleep made me sigh. He was so peaceful. So beautiful. I had to leave his side. I had to be clear of him, just to be able to think without the influence of his smell and his beautiful face.

I threw my ripped dress over my sheath and followed up with the cape.

Outside, I inhaled the clean, fresh air and stared up at the mountains in wonder. Their peaks hid behind billowy white clouds. Not a soul in the area stirred. I wondered, momentarily, how far I would get if I ran. But I wouldn’t. Not yet.

My walk took me along a trodden path that went behind the inn, down a short cliff, and toward a small stream that traveled far into the mountainous ranges. I had never seen the mountains up close before and I hoped I would one day see them again. I followed the stream a little ways, grateful for the fresh air and the solitude that I had been without since my capture. I used to love taking long walks alone in the woods.

When I knelt down by the water, my reflection startled me. Gnarled dark curls and dull green eyes.

The journey had added ten years onto my face, and emotionally I’d probably aged exponentially as well.

Would I ever be the same naive farm girl again? Even if I made it back to my old life, I would feel as much of a prisoner in my marriage to Henry as I did now. I wanted to live my life as I saw fit. If I escaped I would make sure that’s how I lived. I wouldn’t marry Henry. I would risk the town and my family turning their backs on me and be OK with it. My freedom was all I wanted now, and I’d have it no matter how my life played out.

Deep in thought, I shrieked as an unknown force struck me from behind. It knocked me forward, smacking my head against the dirt. After rolling me over, Nole straddled my middle. Why? I wasn’t sure.

The surprise of his attack left my mind spinning. His heavy body forced my lungs to constrict, my air to be all but cut off. Why couldn’t they just grab hold of my arm or something? Why were they always throwing me down and climbing on top of me? I’d had just about all I could take!

“I knew you would play us for fools.” His words were venomous as his hands squeezed around my neck.
