She quickly unfolded it and began to read.
"I have taken Katherine back to the house where she will remain with me until the wedding, which by the way I have moved from two weeks time to tomorrow, yes, tomorrow, and no playing the knight in shining armour because this is one princess you can't rescue, the next time you see her she will be my wife, and don't try to stop this happening, not that you could because I have made sure you won't be in any position to ruin it. Andrew."
Tara re-read the letter a couple of times then turned it over in her hands. She couldn't think, she couldn't feel, all she could see in her mind was Katherine trapped in some room having a marriage to a total bastard forced upon her when she was in love with someone else, it must be hell for her she thought, then she remembered Andrew's last words on his letter. She thought of all the possible things he could do to her, he was capable of anything, for the first time since she left home in Ireland, she was scared. Memories of her father leaning over her with his fist raised above her head as she cowered in the corner, she remembered how he smelled of alcohol and how her heart used to beat so fast inside her she thought she would burst, she remembered how she would cry until there seemed to be no more tears left to cry, she remembered her decision to leave, how she couldn't live in fear anymore, she felt exactly the same now, but she couldn't leave, she couldn't leave the only person she'd ever loved to endure a life of misery, somehow she knew she'd get her out of this, even if it meant life or death, but surely it wasn't that serious? She decided not to rule it out though, he really was capable of anything. He had that same look in his eyes that she once saw in her father.
Tara suddenly felt strong and stood up quickly, she paced around trying to think of a plan when there was a knock at the door.
She stood still for a few seconds then went to answer.
She opened the door to see two huge men stood there wearing all black.
"Who are......."
Before she could finish two strong hands grabbed hold of her and and another hand was placed over her mouth as she was dragged away.
