The prisoner (open)

[Isabella]

Isabella pulled at the manicles bound tightly around her wrists. The rusty metal scraped the skin off her hands, and the blood trickled slowly onto the stone floor. She sighed and stopped trying to work herself free. The manicles were too tight. Isabella slumped onto the floor, feeling utterly helpless. But there was still a fire of anger that burned inside her, for the men who had incarcerated her here.
"I commited no crime. I will make the Sheriff pay," she muttered to herself, grinding her teeth in frustration, "And my brother. They deserve the gallows. Both of them."
Isabella checked herself, realising that talking to nobody was insane. She had done it often enough as a child, to while away the lonely days and nights she spent trapped inside her chamber. Those days had felt like hell. Until she was swiftly married off by Guy for a good price. And living with her husband was worse than hell. Isabella had escaped him, and now, she had to escape her brother. But there was no way she could - at least, not alone. And Isabella doubted that anyone would arrive and rescue her. She had but little hope. Suddenly, the sound of echoing footsteps clattered into her ears. Someone was coming down to the dungeons - and they were drawing closer to her with every step...

[Lady Rosetta Court]

Rosetta ran to Isabella's cell. "Are you alright?" she asked. "Don't worry I know a way out." she said picking the lock of the door. She managed to spring the lock. She opened the door as quitely as she could. "Now," she whispered getting the shackles off her friend, "Come with me." She grabbed Isabella's hand laightly trying not to hurt her cuts.

They came to what appeared to be just a wall. Rosetta pushed a stone and the wall opened like a normal door. She scurried inside. "Hurry up the gaurds shall be here in less than twenty minutes." she said.

[Isabella]

"Thankyou," Isabella whispered quietly, more grateful than she could say that someone had come to help her.
She followed Lady Rosetta silently, cautious of the narrow walls that seemed to be pressing in on her. She had never told anyone, but she was terrified of small spaces. Her husband used to punish her by locking her in the cellar. It was as dark as night and as cold as winter in there. Every moment stretched into an hour, and the walls were constantly pressing in on her, coming closer and closer constantly. She became obsessed with the walls that penned her in, convinced that they were trying to close in on her and kill her. Her mind was forever preyed upon by her fear. The room was so cramped that she couldn't stand up, and she curled herself up into a ball, trying desperately to stay warm. Once her husband threw her in the cellar and did not release her for a week. When he finally let her out, starved and deprived of sleep, her legs were too weak to walk for a fortnight.
Isabella tried to forget her past, and thought of Lady Rosetta. How had learnt she was in the dungeons? And how did she know of this escape route?
"I wonder... could you explain how you came to be here?" she asked quietly.

[Lady Rosetta Court]

"I had a meeting with guy and wondered down her by mistake. But by luck I found you." said Rosetta. Rosetta walked on. The came to a barred gate. She pulled out a key. Luckily it fitted and she unlocked the gate. It squeaked open. This alerted the gaurds. She drew her sword. "Run Isabella." said Rosetta in full combat.

[Isabella]

Isabella was shocked at the sudden clash of steel emanating from the dark passageway where Lady Rosetta and at least half a dozen guards were locked in combat. The torches on the walls flickered, throwing light around the room. She had to help Lady Rosetta. The woman had saved her from the dungeons, something that she was not going to forget in a hurry. Seizing the opportunity, Isabella grabbed one of the torches and thrust the flames towards the face of one of the guards. The man leapt back, shocked and burnt. Isabella could already see red streaks blossoming down his face, and his eyes were swollen. As he fumbled clumsily for his weapon, Isabella took out the dagger Lady Rosetta had given her and in one swift movement plunged it into his neck. He choked, blood gargling in his throat, until he fell to the ground, dead. Isabella removed the beautiful dagger which was now covered in crimson blood.

[Lady Rosetta Court]

"Well thats one way." Rosetta said. She looked at Isabella. "Come we have to move." she said. She took Isabella's hand again and ran through the winding corridors. "Why did your brother slam you up anyway?" she asked. Being around outlaws for so long made her talk like them. She was losing her nobilty talk. She stopped dead as she heard more voices. "Shhh." Rosetta said. She pushed herself against the wall and the gaurds marched passed. "Phew." she muttered and carried on. she came to some stairs. "This way." she smiled. She walked up the steps gracefully and looked back at Isabella. "You can stay at my home if you want. I have a spare room you can use and by the looks of things I have my a new friend." she said.
