The princess yelled her heart out as she felt the wind hit her face. This is what she has been waiting for. To her it was freedom on the move. She was on the move and she was free, free from all the commitments for the time being. “Wait up princess!” yelled one of the generals. She turned a deaf ear and rode even faster. She had no idea where she was heading but all she knew was that she was enjoying what she was doing. She closed her eyes with confident. She was moving in unison with her beloved horse. She was a black beauty . When the princess first got her she was only eight years old and she was only a pony. They had both grown up together with strong pride and independence. Black Beauty as the princess called her, never allowed anyone to ride her except for the princess. She was only obedient to the princess and the princess herself swore never to ride any other horse either.
Suddenly Black beauty slowed down and the princess opened her eyes. There were a few villagers standing around blocking the path. She halted and saddled down from Black Beauty. The rest of her party of riders caught up with her. One of the villagers approached her.
“ I am sorry lass, you cannot pass today. There is a pack of wolves that has been terrorizing our village and we are not allowing anyone to pass through to the fields and village until the hunt of the wolves are done with”
“ How long will it take? “ asked one of the generals.
“About another two days, we have managed to kill about three of the wolves, there is still two more to go. It is very dangerous and we strongly advise you to stay in our village before you make a move” said the villager.
The princess decided for the safety of everyone to stay in the village. The village was not far away and so the princess got off her horse and walked to the village. As she reached the entrance she was surprised to find the village in a state of a fair. It seems everyone was enjoying themselves and having a good party. They even have a welcome sign to welcome everyone.
“Well it seems they are making the best of the situation” whispered the maid as she walked up along with the princess. The princess nodded and smiled. It seemed to be a nice village and everyone greeted her with a smile and then suddenly she froze. What she saw left her speechless. Right in front of her was none other than Taylor. He was sitting on a bench and in his lap was a girl. He was caressing her cheeks and she was giggling and whispering in his ears.
‘Oh my God!” gasped the maid. At that remark, Taylor who was busy flirting with the cottage village girl looked up. This time it was his time to freeze. Their eyes met for an instance, and the princess quickly turned away to hide the hurt in her eyes. She stomped off and the maid ran after her.
“Who was that?” squealed the cottage girl. Taylor did not reply instead got the girl up and left after the princess.
The princess was walking on. She had no idea where she was heading but her legs was walking so fast that she felt that she was running . Then Taylor appeared in front of her. “It’s not what you think, she is my friend and she’s drunk” he rushed the words out. The princess raised her hands up to stop him. She told him that she did not care who she was or what he was doing with her. It was none of her business and it was good to see him. And with that she walked away to see her generals.
Taylor watched as she walked away. He had not expected this to happen. But it had and now she was here. Then suddenly he heard someone call him and he turned and walk away still looking at her.
