Girl Of The White

I sit up, slicing through the air, as a scream raptures through my peaceful abode. My hand reaches for my sheathed sword and I run for my horse in nothing but breeches.
Getting through my muddled house is like going through a labyrinth and I trip several times. I finally break through into the prickling cold air that sends shivers crawling up my bare back. I ignore the feeling of discomfort and make my way to the stables. My horse Ladrone receives me with excited trampling that sends the stable master into a fit.

"Its bloody three in the morning" he yells in broken Italian. I reply with a cocky grin and he turns away muttering to himself about the ignorance of young men.

I pull myself onto my horse deciding to ride without a saddle. The terrified screams erupt through the air again and I feel the urgency in it. I lightly kick my horse in the side and it shoots forward almost throwing me off. I hold onto the neck of the black beauty and press my head down against it's silky mane. We push through the village so inhumanly fast that everything stops for a mere moment.

Running through the Italian fields as the sun slowly touched the horizon Ladrone started moving faster. The wind in the air fighting against our momentum caused us to feel as one and soon I don't only feel like the rider, but the horse. Instantly our pace quickened as everything I saw sharpened, making it easier to move though the tangle of hay that holds mystery in each step.

Soon the sounds of someone in trouble intensify as the long stalks of grass slice at my skin like torturous whips but still I struggle on. Ladrone comes to a sharp halt at the edge of a large cliff that blocks the onslaught of heat that slowly rises. I stare around searching for any clue as to where the mind searing screams came from when suddenly they pierce through the silence like an arrow to a heart.

My head suddenly snaps up and there, just on the edge of the cliff stands a bonded woman of fair colour in a stark white dress that flows around her ankles.

Her abundance is beauty
With eyes of Sapphire
A blue radiance thats sparked with fear

One that taints her features
Yet still she remains startling
Like an angel poised for flight

With lips the colour of rose
Tempting at glance
Alluring to the the soul of a man

Like a goddess
Venus
She has captured my heart

My heart full of anger mixed with passion hammers against my chest. I am gonna kill who ever had caused such a thing. I force my horse forward and gallop gallantly toward her. Jagged rocks cover the terrain and Ladrone refuses to move. Not wanting to delay her rescue, I take to foot, and wince as sharp stones dig into  my bare feet. Rocks scrape my chest as I move further up the cliff, getting closer to the white beauty. I finally reach the edge of the peak and pulling myself up my neck meets the hilt of a sword.

I tilt my head up slightly, causing the sword to puncture my skin and stare into the hate filled eyes of my enemy Sir Capri.  He held a crazed tint in his eyes and pressed the blade further into my neck causing me to choke and bow lower to him. I look up past him for a moment and see the eyes of the white angel shadowed over devoid of hope.

I suddenly see a spark and notice the light creeping up towards her, slowly bringing her doom. I follow their trail and see them connected to TNT. He plans to blow her up, never was one to be subtle. Our eyes meet for a moment and its all I need to see to know she feels an unexplainable bond with me she doesn't want to lose.

My white queen's screams intensify as the sparks push her further to the edge of the cliff. Soon she'll have to make the choice of being obliterated or free fall. Either way she would perish.

I had to get past Capri.  As a young man, stronger and faster, I swipe my leg under him, bringing him to the ground and pull out my sword, that hangs securely at my side, hidden from sight. Pressing it to his neck I knew I had to make a choice of sparing this man.

"I surrender, I give up, have the girl, I don't want to die!" he suddenly yells with cowardice.

I turn to my white goddess and see her eyes full of a familiar trust that seems to go back a life time. I sauntered over towards her and take in her Sapphire eyes that are the definition to her glory.

Her eyes light up as I lean in to kiss her, completely forgetting about the lit TNT that is about to explode.

"Who ordered a pepperoni pizza!"

I pull my co-star forward and whip around. Running towards the delivery guy I feel the ground shake as the perfectly timed TNT sets off.

"Cut! Cut! Cuuuuuut!

YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO STOP THE EXPLOSION!!

The director starts cussing like a sailor.

I turn towards him and whilst heavily stuffing my face, I smile sheepishly slowly holding out my hand to offer him a slice.

"RAFAEL!" The veins in his neck look dangerously close to popping out.

Well this is gonna come bite me in the ass.
