I felt myself fall forward with the aid of his arms around my waist, I knew he wouldn't be able to hold me like he was for long I struggled the best I could and managed to break free for a second only for me to hear him growl in anger and tighten his grip, I felt him slowly working his way up my body as I was struggling just as I thought I had broken free, I was roughly turned onto my back. he restrained my body from moving by sitting on my waist and used his hands to pin my hands and arms to the side of my head " I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO NEVER RUN FROM ME" he shouted in my face I turned my head to one side to avoid his glare. My continuous struggling was only to be greeted with another comment

  ‚ÄúYou know I‚Äôm stronger than you Kyra so why are you so persistent"

  My response was quick "you know I always try!"

  "OH boy don't I know, just look at all the boyfriends you have had" that hurt and he knew it as he smiled.

  I could hear a rapid beat coming from somewhere behind Lucas but as soon as they started they had stopped. Only to be replaced with the sound of someone dismounting a horse, it was then followed by purposeful footsteps which were getting closer and closer. Lucas was too busy pinning me down to notice and I used that to my advantage. It paid off.

  The weight which was upon me was suddenly lifted and I was so relieved but I stayed where I was in fear it was just a fluke.

  I heard Lucas growl but it wasn't his voice which I heard ‚ÄúLeave now, I have dealt with you once I will delightfully do it again!"

  This time I was Lucas I heard "Zephyr what are you doing here?!"

  "Now if I told you that it would ruin the surprise now wouldn‚Äôt it?" I looked up from where I lay to see Lucas standing directly in front of the stranger Lucas leant in and spat

  "Stay out of this Zephyr" and with that he pushed passed the stranger and continued up the driveway, he turned around halfway up and shouted "I'll see YOU later Kyra" and with that he walked off.

  The guy who had helped me walked over to where I was and and offered his hand out, I gratefully took it and was pulled to my feet, as I continued to brush myself down I saw him walk back to his horse, take its reins and lead him to his stable without another word said to me.

  "Wait!!" I shouted after him hoping he would stop "you can't just help someone then walk away!!" he continued to ignore my pleas. I remembered what lucas had called him and hoped that I would get it right

  "Zephyr!" I was right and I made him turn his head he had already stopped at his stable to tie up his horse but the fact that he responded to his name was good, I took the opportunity to join him only to be grabbed by the wrist and pulled around the corner this time it was his turn to talk.

  "Tomorrow. Noon. Grazing fields. Be there. We need to talk.
