is in the forest and says to ALL: small figure racing as she dodges tree limbs...tears brough tae her eyes as t' limbs grab her hair as it steams out behind her....bringing her tae a sharp stop a couple of times as she rips t' hair loose....an takes off.....her heart pounding...as a stitch works it way up her side...as she bursts thru t' edge of t' forest an into t' medow...racing towards t' croffers huts up ahead..seeing light streaming...as she yells.....giddy laughter bubbles of relief as she sees doors opening as mair light streams as she trips over a small hold in t' ground..landing hard as t' breath tis knocked out her.....t' nervous release of laughter..thinkign she tis safe as her hands press t' ground as she lifts up..turning jes in time tae see a large figure looming upon her as t' horse an rider bare down upon her...terror filling her eyes as she is scopped up as iffin baggae as her scream rents t' air....her skull exploding of searing white stars of pain burst behind her eyes as her world goes black...t' horse man rearing as he swiftly turns t' lathered mount an races back t' forest

Racing Spirit back into the Yard, jumping off as I hand him over to a stable boy and race up to the Castle, entering and seeing Nae a soul around, frowning as I have a growing fear that others did nae stay as I asked them to, brushing the dirt and dust off I head up to my chambers ...

I enter, slamming the door, nae carrying about who I wake, upset over what I learned from my cousin when I reached the gypsy camp, pacing back and forth, getting angrier then ever at spi for taking off like this and wondering why the Hell didn't she go ask some of the gypsies to escort her....

I walk over to the window, looking out over the mountains, whispering, Och me wee friend, I fear for you now, after learning there be rumors flying around about some Sadistic Lord that has been seen in this area.....sighing, is nothing I can do tis eve and I know me wolves are out there trying to find her, I move over and stretch out on the bed, knowing tomorrow I will know and if a Pigeon does not return, my fear will become real...
