Chapter Seven

Stopping at the border to the Elven lands, Dierk looked around and gave a three-toned whistle. Moments later it was answered and he relaxed, his hand dropping from the hilt of his sword and he smiled at the Elven Guard who stepped from the trees. “Farhan, good to see you,” he said, clasping arms with the warrior.

“And you, old friend,” the warrior looked around. “You have safe passage through our lands, Dierk, so you can have the others join us now.”

“Just wanted to be cautious, I’m sure you’d do the same if it was your Queen,” he pointed out, getting an acknowledging tip of a regal head. Turning around, he whistled sharply and jerked his head when Niklaus popped out to look. “We need to get moving, we have a lot of ground to cover before night falls.”

Snow approached the Elven Guard and bowed her head, “I thank you for allowing us to cross your lands in safety. Please relay my thanks to your Queen.” She placed her hand back on Dierk’s arm and stepped in closer to him, enjoying the feel of the heat of her men surrounding her.

“You may tell her yourself, Princess,” he bowed to her. “She has offered you a spot at her table for the evening meal as well as a hut for you all to sleep before finishing your journey in the morning. She also said she knows the Huntsmen will likely decline the meal,” Farhan smirked, “for reasons all their own but that you should not feel obligated to follow their lead.”

Snow looked up to Dierk and smiled, “I thank you for the kind offer; however, I believe my Huntsmen have it right. We truly need to make it through your lands as quickly as possible so we don’t place any of your people in danger.”

“As you wish, Princess,” Farhan bowed low, something in his expression though told her he knew something she did not. “We’ll be moving quickly, you may at any time let us know if we’re going too fast. Please, follow me,” he said and spun. With a trilling sound he took off running.

“Ready?” Dierk asked her with a smile and, slipping his hand into hers, started to run after Farhan.

Snow ran along at Dierk’s side, she paced herself and breathed in and out with concentration so she could keep up with the men. After a good long while Snow shook her head, “Dierk, we must stop.” She was gasping for air, her side pinching and she knew if they didn’t stop now, she’d drop.

Shaking his head, he caught her arm and pulled her up onto his back, “Grip my waist with your legs,” he told her. Moving his hands to her ass, he held her up and kept running, his eyes on Farhan’s back as the Elven Guard ran swiftly.

Wrapping her legs around his middle, Snow held onto him. “I’m sorry,” she whispered in defeat, trying to catch her breath as she clung to him. Some Queen she was, she couldn’t even run alongside her Huntsmen trying to get to safety.
