My thoughts were interrupted by a voice. "Jane there's a hot spring over there" I snapped out of my memories back to reality, the voice came from Daisy. " Lucy picked the fruits, you didn't wait for us, let's go wash them" Daisy said. While we washed the fruits the horses some drank the water from another hot spring that was beside tge one we were washing the fruits. The knights and guards stood around us in a defensive formation.
" Ahh....!!!!! " A loud scream was heard from Daisy. " What is it? " Lucy and I said in unison. "Something is grabbing my hand" Lucy and I tried pulling out but instead the three of us fell into the water. I saw three cloaks dragging us, I tried to get out because I couldn't breathe but these people in cloaks wouldn't let me go.
A knight managed to drag Lucy out of the water. It seems we were ambushed, the water started turning purple, a sign that the water was poisoned, I can hear the clashing of swords, blood spilled on the water. I could see one of the familiar knights stretching his hand for me to get a hold of. "𝕁𝕦𝕤𝕥 𝕒 𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕥𝕝𝕖 𝕓𝕚𝕥 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖" I thought.
Unfortunately I felt a syringe pierce through my neck. I saw the knight being pulled away. I started loosing conciousness bit by bit, Daisy had already fainted, the poison already clouded my nerves, darkness taking over, I turned unconcious.
*********************
When I woke up everywhere was dark and Daisy was by my side still unconcious. "Where are we? " I voiced out my thoughts. I walked over to where Daisy was and I shook her so that she could be awake.
"Where are we?" Daisy asked as she coughed out some water. " I don't know yet, let's go find out" I said. "In the dark? " She asked while shivering. I looked at her, she's too young to get lost, her hair was dripping and her clothes were still soaked.
I looked beside be and saw a familiar bag, I checked the inside and saw two clothes – one was the green blouse and white skirt and the other was the pink long gown I wore to Lucy's house together with the pairs of shoes (Green sandals and pink heels).
I remembered I carried the green blouse and white skirt because the pink gown was tight on me and there wasn't enough time to change so I thought I'd change the cloths at Lucy's house.
I gave Daisy the pink gown to wear while I wore the green blouse and white skirt and we put our wet riding costume into the bag.
"Should we just wait here for someone to find us? " Daisy asked. "We can't stay here, look around there's nowhere to indicate where we came from" I replied trying to sound rational. "It's just that I'm scared" Daisy said.

I took a deep breath and said "Come here, stay close to me, don't make too much noise, we don't know what is out there" Daisy just gave me a nod and we started walking.
