forbidden (please read!) part 2

"Angelyn!" her high pitched voice cut through my thoughts as i opened the tall wooden door."yes mama."forced to call her this i gritted it through my teeth."your father has just sent me a letter saying he has three suitors on there way to meet you.i want you to act your best and none of that awful behavior you always show.who knows maybe you'll be married off to some rich man."she snorted and grabbed the bags from my arms.

suitors?why now?i groaned and collapsed in the nearest dusty sofa.the antique squeaked under my weight."mama why is their no suitors for me?" Victoria whined from the kitchen.i rolled my eyes and blew a platinum piece of hair out of my eyes."because my sweet Victoria yours will come soon and i have talked to your father and he said he'll make sure to marry you off to some prince."i could almost see Victoria giving her mother her sickly sweet smile.

"mama why do you insist on calling him my father.hes nowhere near looking like me."she scoffed.my step mother didn't answer.

i pulled myself off the couch and headed through the grand halls to the back yard.following a little path in the grass i picked my way to the stables.the ancient crumbling building stood atop a hill near a small copse of trees.the sweet scent of hay filled my nose as i entered.

the greetings of the six horses inside made my heart flutter.i use to come here when i was younger to escape reality.to escape my family and all the people of this town.the horses were gentle souls who didn't judge and i missed coming here.but my father was trying to make me a lady.he used to call me his wild filly but now he refrains from using it.

the king wants him to marry me off.to make me a proud young women.he thinks that unruly young women under his rule is a reflection on him.sighing i walk over to the snowy stallion across from me.

as a gift when i was younger my father had bellaprhon shipped to me from overseas.he was a albino Arabian and his hide sparkled in the sun.i used to gallop him around the fields pretending he was my valiant stallion in war.

his velvet nose brushed my cheek as he gently nudged me.his sweet breath stirred my face."want to go for a ride bellaphron?"i asked.his ears swiveled up and he nickered.his liquid eyes looked into mine and i kissed his cheek.

swinging open the stall door.i entered. preferring to ride wild and bareback i watched as he kneeled down.sliding onto his back i grabbed a fist full of his thick white hair.he stood back up and trotted out the stall.

the two ebony carriage horses whinnied at us a bellaphron trotted past. Victoria's Andalusian tilted its head back and forth over its stall.poor creature never was ridden. Victoria hated horses.my stepmothers horse reared in her stall.the almost red Arabian flicked its ears back and forth.and at last my fathers horse.the tall sturdy horse watched us calmly as we passed.

his mane was a deep blonde and his flanks a shimmering gold.i watched him closely as he passed.so like my father.as soon as bellaphron reached the open stable door he launched forward.i let out a bubbling laugh as he charged across the open grass.every muscle in his back rippled under me and i pressed myself against his neck as he accelerated over the hills.

a low stone wall appeared in front of us.bellaphron never slowed.matter of fact he picked up his pace an launched his body over the wall.he landed on the other side as the wind whistled through my hair.

we entered the forest at the back of our land.the towering oaks shone with green moss and lichen.the ground was covered in tiny mushrooms and every so often a large golden flower.vines ambled up the trees and bellaphron slowed to a walk.he maneuvered the the roots of the trees with ease.the leaves overhead shielding the sinking sun from entering cloaking the forest in almost a twilight state.

bellaphron stopped and pawed the ground.his ears shot up and his nostrils flared.i urged him forward and he took one step then another till we were walking again.the the trees broke away and my heart stopped at what was before me.


the towering wall rose above my head.the stone was covered in flowers and vines.only the very tops of trees were visible over its top.i gripped harder into bellaphrons mane.my heart shot up to its maximum beat.a drop of sweat slid down my cheek.i was shaking yet i couldn't stop.

the wall.i swore to myself i would never come back here.a memory flashed back to me.

**************

i was waking up right here in this spot.the sun shone down above the wall.the autumn air was crisp and cold.the cut along my collar bone had dried and i felt dizzy.i looked up and sitting on the wall was a lone figure.the sun blocked out his features but he seemed to be the same age as me.

he saw me looking and dissapeared on the other side of the wall.


**********************

i shuddered and bellaphron neighed nervously.he could sense my fear.he backed up and spun around racing us out of the trees.how could i be so stupid as to forget where i was going?

*****************

climbing the stairs i walked silently to my bedroom.they must be having dinner down stairs.but im to weary to go.opening my bedroom door i collapse on my four poster bed.the silver coverlet shines in the darkness of the room.the moon shines through my curtains and i stare up at the canopy of the bed.

i had returned o the wall.the forbidden secret of this town.sucking in a deep breath i waited for the sound of glasses and laughter to cease downstairs.tomorrow was going to be a long day and i had to be ready.....


***********************

the sunlight peeked through my window and i shifted to my side.someone shook my shoulder and i nudged them away."please angelyn the suitors will be here any minute and you dont want to make your father mad do you?"asked my maid."Natalie but you know i dont want to do this."i groaned.she brushed my head with her hand. Natalie is my best friend.three years older then me she is twenty.

her dark hair and baby blues eyes make her charming and pretty.my father hired her from the town so that i had someone to keep me company and someone to help me be a lady.i had rebelled at this but when i met her we soon became inseparable.

i sat up groggily and headed over to the bathroom.a steaming bath was already made for me.i pulled of my night gown and slipped into the warm water.the scent of roses filled my nose.

Natalie started to pull at the tangles in my long straight blonde hair."angelyn you should really care more for your hair."Natalie whispered."its not like i care about the stupid stuff."i scoffed.she laughed."sometimes i think your not a girl at all."she giggled.i couldn't help but grin.

when she was done i let her help me out and dry.wrapping the towel around me i watched her go to my wardrobe and pick out a dress.she fingered the soft materials in awe.the truth is Natalie and the other townsfolk are to poor to afford anything like this.

i sighed and sat on the edge of the bed."take them all Natalie they disgust me ."i growled.she pulled at a shimmery green dress.the fabric matched my eyes.it fell to the floor and had black lace around the bodice and breast.i gave her a queer look.

"you just."she warned.i frowned and let her lace the corset around my waist.the thing restricted my breathing and i felt my lungs expand in effort. Natalie slipped the dress over my head and the shimmery fabric fit into place.the breast was open and i felt awkward and shy with all of my pale chest and cleavage out.

Natalie let my pale hair fall naturally around my shoulders.my green eyes were on fire in the mirror.the dress really brought them out.my red lips and dark lashes brought them out even more.the little pink freckles on my cheeks seemed soft in the light.

i touched one pink cheek."sometimes i think your albino angelyn."Natalie said behind me.a clutter down stairs my my heart drop.'there here."Natalie whispered.i nodded and followed her down the stairs.

*******************

three young men waited for me there.one had blonde hair that was almost as pale as mine.his stunning blue eyes sparkled under the light.the other had dusky brown curls.his hazel eyes seemed like they belonged to a ugly soul.i shifted my gaze to the next boy and i forced myself not to gasp.

he seemed so familiar.i eyed him and his golden hair.his sharp fresh green eyes watched me in earnest.the set of his shoulders the way he stood it reminded me of something.

my father stepped from behind the young men.my attention on the boy was gone and i smiled and ran to my papa."papa I've missed you."i said.he hugged me close.his sweet scent made me content."I've missed you to.sorry the meeting with the king took so long."his golden eyes wandered up and down me."why angelyn you look quite beautiful."he said grinning.then sadness swelled in his eyes."just like your mother."

my step mother stepped in and wrapped her arm through his."she does."she said eying my greedily."oh Annabelle i bet you cant wait til your little Annabelle gets married."he said smiling at her.she smiled back but it was a,lie.

my father walked over to the young men."this is Gregory wills he is the son of the lord of Bradford."he said motioning to the blonde.he took my hand in his and kissed it lightly."nice to meet you miss angelyn."he said smiling.i nodded and moved to the next.

"this is William hunt he is son of the lord of Scarborough" William grabbed my hand and kissed it letting his lips linger.his eyes blazed with hunger.i pulled my hand away a little to hastily.his eyes scared me.the deep hazel seemed to glow with arrogance and pride.

"this is archer of Windsor."he gently grabs my hand and kisses it.his hands are soft and i let him hold it for a second it."Windsor isn't that the other town next to ours?"i asked him.he nods."why yes it is."his voice is like liquid gold.

"they will be staying with us for the week."my father says.this time i dont mind the fact of suitors.this boy reminds me of something and as long as hes here i intend to find out...............TBC
