Part 4

Mara ran quickly trying to get far away as possible.
She ducked behind a house and then ran through a yard.
Slowing down to a walk she passed by shops when suddenly she saw Jerome riding at the Blacksmiths with his horse. Muttering under her breath stepped into a dressmakers.
“What can I do for you Miss.” Slowly turning around she saw the shop owner.
“Oh I will just look at your fabrics first thank you.”
“As you wish M’lady.” Suddenly she noticed Jerome heading towards the shop.
“Oh great!” “did you say something Miss?” “Yes I was wondering if um you have a back door?” “ A back door? No Miss.” Mara hid behind a large crate.
Then Jerome walked into the shop.
“What can I do for you Sir?” “ Oh I think I just need to check something.”
Jerome walked upto the crate and looked right at Mara.
“ Do you think you could hide from me?”
“ In a word yes !” “ I am hurt now why would you run and hide from me?”
“ I do what I need to do and I don’t have to explain myself to the likes of you.”
“Well isn’t that nice now come on. I am taking you home.”
Jerome yanked Mara up by her arm and dragged her to his horse.
“ I am not going to ride that with you.”
“ That’s fine I didn’t plan for you too. You want to act like a captive then you will be treated like one.” “And what does that mean!”
“ Oh I think you can guess.” Jerome asked a man for a rope.
The man brought it quickly and handed it to Jerome.
He asked the man to hold Mara’s arms together so he could tie them.
Jerome tied them together with much struggling on Mara’s end.
Finaly her hands were tied. letting go of that side of the rope he grabbed the other.
Quietly he motioned for the other man to let go of the Mara.
With lightning speed Mara tried to make a break for it.
But Jerome was too strong for Mara to gain freedom.
“Let go of that rope Jerome.” “And let you run away ? You must be out of your mind.”
“Let go of the rope or I will scream.” “As you wish.”
Jerome let go of the rope and Mara fell down on the muddy road.
Laughing Jerome picked then of the rope up again.
“Ok now that we have had our fun lets leave.” Tying his end of the rope to the saddle of his horse. Quickly he pulled himself into the saddle.
The horse was only cantering but it was hard for Mara to keep up .
Many times she fell in the mud or tripped and almost fell again.
By the time she was at the castle her dress was ripped and muddy.
Also when they got there she was furious with Jerome for treating her so badly.
Jerome dismounted his horse and walked up to her.
“Are you going to come in peacefully or do you need help?”
“ I do not need help and you can guess how I would enter there.”
“Yes I do which is why I will help you.” “ Help me? And just how do you plan on doing that pray tell?” “You shall see.”
Jerome swooped her up and carried her up the stairs to her room.
Opening the door he entered and set her down.
“ That is how. And don’t think of trying to escape again cause there will be a gaurd outside your door.”
Jerome shut the door and walked away. Little did he know that Mara was hatching another escape plan.................
