Hours of silence passed as Gabrielle sat deep in her thoughts. Flashbacks of Ansel played through her mind, distracting her.
'He said it was a nightmare to have me gone… A nightmare… How can he say such a thing when he has Hattie… No… It can't be true…'
Ansel slowed down, stopping his horse in front of the castle.
"We're here," He mumbled in her ear, snapping her back to reality.
She looked around her, seeing a group of guards and servants waiting around the castle.
Ansel dismounted off the horse, reaching out towards her.
"Let's go inside," He uttered, softly.
She looked at him, hesitation filling her heart. She turned her head away, looking down from the other side of the horse.
Ansel snapped his fingers and the guards blocked the other side of the horse.
Her eyes widened, she turned her head, looking back at Ansel.
"Today you will be in my arms," Ansel stated in a soft tone, "Now, please come down."
