The carriage came to a halt, "miss we are taking a small break for the horses to rest there's a beautiful spring would you like to come down and see before we continue" I mean I would like some fresh air " yes I would Gertrude" the carriage was parked by the side and the door was open for me with Gertrude standing by the door with an outstretched hand, I took it and came down from the carriage and I sucked in a sharp
For the scene I beheld was absolutely breathtaking, it was so picturesque the water was a sparkling clear blue falling into a waterfall at the edge of the cliff, the grass was green and beautiful array of different flowers, the sky was clear and the air was sweet taking the whole scene in Amelia could just lay down and sleep, over by the horses Gertrude was petting them " they say this place can heal the frail minded and weak of heart, that it brings comfort to those who feel lost" it definitely does feel that way Gertrude " I want to take the horses to walk and relieve themselves there is a small nudge where you can sit down and admire the water as you wait" I illuminated with excitement and ran off giggling "don't go to far miss" Gertrude yelled after me smiling at my retreating figure and turned to walk away with the horses. I was frolicking in the soft green grass and sniffing all the beautiful roses "these are all so pretty with so many vibrant colors" I giggled and lay on the grass "this pink daffodil will be a pretty color for a dress and these poppies would look nice on a vanity" then I stood to go sit by the water when I let out a surprised gasp "huh!! No way" I squealed " lily of the valley" I ran close to it and got on my knees and elbows to admire them, it's in a beautiful shade of light blue with water droplets glistening down on it " wow these are so pretty I wish we had these back home dad would've brought some for mum all the time "thinking of it she smiled "I hope I find them near the dukes palace or maybe I could take these and preserve them somehow" right as she thought to do so she heard a growl by the corner and a gruff male voice " well ,well what a beautiful damsel we have laying in the field for us to come find good job lucky" my heart started beating fast " who are you and what do you want" "oh pretty girl we don't want any trouble just come along with us and all will be well" I'm not following you anywhere I started looking around for what I could use but there was nothing " now now little girl things will get very messy so just be a good little girl and follow us " he showed his gun in his pocket and two other men came behind me, "the only way to lose them is if I enter the water" I looked towards the water and towards the bottom of the waterfall thinking If I could make it, before I could think I figured appeared in front of me " now why are we disturbing this beautiful young lady on this fine sunny day".
A tall man in black slacks, brown boots and a matching brown pin down shirt, long shiny black hair slicked back, broad shoulders and muscular build stood his back towards me facing the 3 men in full confidence "I think this young lady told you to leave her alone did she not " the scrawny looking man on the left spoke up in a weird accent " what's she to you just let us have her or things will get messy" "oh so is she now something to bargain over like she doesn't have a life" the scrawny man started to walk forward growling "now looky here you " but the main leader held him back "you know what how bout we share the profits form the girl let's say 70-30 and go peacefully " he just took a firm stance in front of me "now see if you aren't willing to share I'm afraid my boys will have to mess you up" he still didn't move "alright then you asked for it luke, stick get him" both of the men by the sides started moving towards him " we're gonna have fun with this one" then he walked towards both of them " oh you think you're a tough guy now we're gonna teach you a Les-" there was a crisp silence as the mysterious man landed a straight punch so hard he knocked the man out.
