Abigail pov contd
Before William could reach me hundred started running with the speed, he had not even run when the wolves were chasing us. But instead of walking towards the pce. It started running towards the deeper forest. ??
"Whoa whoa" I shouted as I held his reins, trying my best to control him and stop him but hundred was not in a mood of listening at all. It was too violent and running wildly. I was having a hard time maintaining my bnce with this speed and unsteady gait.
"Abigail" I heard a deep cry and turned to see that William was chasing me and behind him were his three knights but they were too far away to catch up.
I could hear him Whipping his horse as he continued to chase me, he wasing closer yet the distance was too much for me to jump on his horse and the speed was too much to jump on the ground.
"Ugh!"
I moaned in pain. As the braces of the trees touched my body as hundreds continued to run like a wild angry horse."
"That is enough, hundred. Calm down.'''' I shouted in a strict voice but it hardly had any effect on him.
I had his reins hard, trying to avoid the branches that wereing in between but it was too tough for me to handle.
"Ahh!"
I screamed as the thick branches were right before my face. If it hurt me my whole face will have scars or its strength could knock me down from the horse too. Dread filled my eyes and I hastily bent down to avoid the branches and grabbed the reins tighter. My jaws clenched as I tried to bnce myself on the horse while bending to avoid the branches.
Hundred was far from the obedient horse he had always been. When I tried to bend and hold him tightly, a hundred shook his head and flipped his ears back as if it was in pain.
There was something wrong with him, and right now he was looking more dangerous than the bear who had tried to attack me a while ago. But things turned scarier when he started neighing painfully and sweating profusely. White foams started to form near his mouth, making my eyes widened. Until now I was thinking that he was hurt, but now it meant that something was given to him to make him wild. It was a nned assassination i was trying to find. The preparator must have thought that William was going to ride this horse.
I did not know whether i should be d that i have saved him from the attack or should worry that i could be killed in the meanwhile. "But if I escaped this cmity, then at least I know that the person already has spies in the royal pce. The horse started behaving oddly only after the rain, so it must have something to do with the water too."
"Abigail.. Watch out.. Abigail, try to change direction.`` The loud shouting of William made me shudder when I saw there were shrubs in front of me. If a hundred collided I would fall on them or the bnce of the hundred would finally be lost.
I tried to move the reins in another direction but it didn''t move at all.
"It is not working." I shouted back and William cursed loudly.
"Darn.. fuck.." this was the first tome i have ever seen him this angry as most of the time, he was just toozy to care about anything.
"You will have to jump now, Abigail. I will hold you, I promise" he shouted and I looked back at the distance between us. There was no way he could hold me from such space. There was a few meters between us and the way hundreds were running the gap was only increasing.
"It is impossible, your highness. I will try to jump on shrubs. I think that the leaves would have some impact.`` I replied and he shook his head.
"That would not work, Abi. you will have to trust me." he shouted but there was nothing to trust in it, the gap was toorge and there was no way he could save me. Even if he jumped to catch me, he would hurt himself a lot and there was no guarantee that his act would protect me.
It would be putting two lives in danger rather than one. And his life was too precious for me to take risks on. So, I ignored his shouting and decided to jump on the shrubs.
I clenched my hands on the reins and gritted my teeth as I closed my eyes and prepared myself for the fall. But before I could do that, he raised his front legs and took a big jump in the sky.
I held my breath as it felt like it was flying for a second. I only let go of my held breath when his feetnded on the ground again. His jump was much better than I had thought as we crossed the whole array of shrubs otherwise we would have stuck on it. But it was still painful to bear such a big jump. My whole body felt like it was falling apart. Slowly my pounding heart calmed down and I turned to see where William went.
But once again Hundred caught the speed as if he would keep running and never stop until he was exhausted.
''Damn it!'' I cursed, ming myself. I thought I was strong enough but I was helpless in this situation.
I looked around at the increasing darkness and the thickening of trees. The trees wererger covering the whole sky and there was hardly any space to run further. The trees were not in a line or growing everywhere around, it showed that it was an unkempt area of the woods. I must have entered too deep to be turned like that.
"Abigail.. where the hell are you?"
"......."
