Another Time, Another Place

Rescue

Rebel, Indi, Jetta, Dion and Nyx had found themselves on the outskirts of a city. Rebel bought everyone to a halt, at the treeline.

"Everyone, wait here, I will go ahead and scout out if this is the right city." Rebel said.

"Wait, what? You can't go in there alone. What happens if you get caught?" Indi said.

"I will be fine, but if I'm not back by night fall ride home and get our mums." Rebel said, " we will need the armies to get me back."

Rebel finally got everyone to reluctantly agree, she pulled a black hooded cloak from her bag and put it on, to mask her identity, before making her way to the city.

Rebel looked around the city and first ascertained that the palace was indeed here, so it's where Gabby/Kleo, would have been taken. Then she began looking for a way in. She was near the back wall, when she heard someone on the other side.

"Hi, who are you? I saw you from my tower and I really hope you are who my cousin told me about." The young feminine voice said.

"Who do you want me to be?" Rebel asked.

"I am hoping you are the princess, my cousin fell in love with." The young feminine voice said.

"She loves me," Rebel said smiling. "Is your cousin by any chance The Crown Princess, Kleo Carun."

"She is, are you by chance Princess Rebel Kom Trikru?" The young feminine voice asked.

"I am," Rebel answered, "and what is your name cousin of Princess Kleo?"

"I am Princess, Tahlia Carun, Daughter of Alex Carun, Cousin of Princess Kleo. She told me all about you. She also hoped you wouldn't come to save her, because she couldn't deal with anything bad happening to you. As great a warrior as you are, I think you will need help. Please tell me you didn't come alone." Tahlia said.

"No I bought a select few of our assassins, they are waiting for me to return, at the forest edge, on the northern side of the city." Rebel explained.

"Perfect, I will slip my guard and ride out there, I will help you plan, we need to move quick, they plan to marry her off, tomorrow." Tahlia explained.

"Ok, we better do this tonight then." Rebel said, "I will see you there."

Rebel moved quickly, to where she had left her horse and rode fast back to the others.

"You are safe," Indi said, "lucky for them because I was going to go on a murdering spree, to avenge you."

Rebel laughed at her sister, "ok, Wanheda junior."

"What did you find out, cuz," Jetta questioned.

"Gabby is here, I spoke to her cousin, she is coming here to help us. They are making Gabby marry tomorrow, so we need to get her out tonight." Rebel explained.

"What, Rebel, please tell me you didn't trust this cousin, how do you know she isn't bringing guards to catch us." Indi asked horrified.

"Yes, Indi, I do trust her, she wants to save her cousin. But if it makes you feel better if we see more than one horse, you gallop all the way home and bring mum and the armies, the rest of will hold them off." Rebel said. "In fact, Indi, go further into the forrest, so you can't be seen."

"What? No, why can't I fight?" Indi said annoyed.

"Because you are a princess, we can't have both of us caught and you are here because of me." Rebel said.

"Fine, but I'm not happy and don't expect me to be nice to Gabby's cousin, even if she doesn't betray us, this is all her fault." Indi said taking her horse deeper into the forrest, but close enough she could see a signal from her sister.
