Outlawed (Accepting)

"He was part of the Hood." she said shaking her head, her brown curls bouncing. Em didn't feel like going into anymore detail. She didn't want to cause an argument when she could avoid one.

Frank shrugged, not saying a word "Wanna go up?" he asked motioning his head towards the lowered ramp into the tree, taking hold of Diads reins.

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

(Emerald came back from camp and is talking to Frank. Arrowin is still in the hammock and Chris is still in the hide out I think.)

Emerald nodded and dismounted from Envy, landing a little less graceful then normal. She wound her fingers through the stallion's mane and started to lead him up. "Yea, sitting by a warm fire sounds good right about now." she said with a slight shiver and looking badk at Frank.

(( Ugh Mel&Cher you make the best RPs of course I am joining, when I have time (which is never, currently ). I can never make lasting RPs they die. And die again. Depressing. My first was pretty successful, though. It was about vamps and werewolves. That explains it, huh? That was before I knew how to RP... I was so pathetic... oh, and here comes Sam, I'm gonna make this his first post.))

Chris shook his head, tired, climbing steadily up the tree. He yawned sloppily and collasped in the hammock next to Arowin, laying his head on her chest and closing his eyes. He listened to her heart, feeling drowsy despite the hunger that clawed him. He tilted his face up and kissed her lips lightly, pulling back again a few moments later and stretching out.

Prince Stephan bit his lip, undecided. The prison girl was right- he had wanted a chance to learn about the Hood- but how could he trust these wild people? He wondered vaguely where Chase was, but that thought vanished quickly as the reins of his horse were cut. Anger flooded him. He was the prince- he commanded these people, but here they were trying to kill him. He lashed out at the other girl, the one holding his reins and the knife ((Jay)), and the palm of his hand connected swiftly with her nose. He heard a snap and pulled his hand back, splattered with red blood. Wincing, he muttered, "Sorry," and kicked Sinner away from her before she could recover from the pain and use that blade on him. Just a little farther. Though he wanted to learn about the Hood, he couldn't make another stupid mistake. He had gotten into this mess, he had to get out- alive. Sinner managed it about ten meters farther, stumbling along through the thorny trails. The horse knew where he was headed, though- they came here for hunting all the time. They picked up speed. He hadn't been for a few months, but Stephan believed he could see the faint trails still cutting through the undergrowth. A little farther- and NOW! Stephan screamed and smacked Sinner's rear. The horse pulled up short into a rear, quite a feat at such a speed, and jumped sideways just as the knife girl's horse reached them. Sinner landed hard, spinning on the thick leaves, and fell; Prince Stephan was now trapped halfway under his panting steed. Pain seared his arm, though it probably wasn't broken. This plan had to work. Yes, he sighed inwardly as the unknown girl's horse stepped right into the old hunting trap, unable to stop in time, that Stephan had long ago set up. It was for large animals, a huge spiked snare that worked almost like a bear trap, catching and breaking the leg of the animal. The horse threw the knife girl off and hurled her directly into a net- the second half of the trap. It bunched closed, secured tightly. Stephan couldn't help but feel pride that his invention still worked, even though he was stuck and worried. (( REALLY sorry if you consider this god-modding. Sometimes I get this thing in my head and I just have to play it through. Jay doesn't half to be hurt or anything. The horse doesn't either. Just trapped? Is that okay? Prince Stephan is trapped too, under his horse. Forgive me? )) The prince winced, the pride vanishing, when he saw the look on the prison girl's face. He hadn't meant to hurt anyone, just slow them down. Now they would kill him for sure.

Sam loped through the forest, running lightly along tree branches. His discolored eyes darted around like a cat's. Where was the prince? Sam had been stalking him ever since he left the palace. He knew that the prince would make unbelievable bait, and Sam could gain the upper hand in this strange constant war between the King's people, the so-called Hood, and himself and the others. (( You'll find out about the mysterious "others" later... )) He froze when he heard a scuffle and a cry. He leaped into the higher branches and crawled into the next tree without making a sound. From here he had a perfect view of the scene below. Stroking his bow, he narrowed his eyes, creating a strange look to his face. He peered through the leaves and saw the prince was trapped. About to become the Hood's prisoner, not his own. Smug pride ran through him and he dropped unexpectedly from the trees, landing on his feet crouched behind the girl that was not in the net. "He's mine," he hissed, drawing his small pocketknife and pressing the blade to her throat from behind.

Stephan gasped when he saw the remarkable figure. Fear bolted through him truly for the first time and he felt like he was suffocating. He had seen that man before. In shadows. In dreams. In the corner of his eye. Always blending in with the crowd, but watching him with those mismatched eyes of his. They followed you everywhere. Stephan curled his arms over his face, shielding it from the glare.

(dont worry, it was a really good piece of writing. but i just say that its a pit fall with no spikes, I don't really want to kill X-Caliber)

Jay jerked her head back as the prince's palm conected with her face. Pain spred from her nose as did a great deal of blood. Losing her calm head she chased after him not really paying attention to where they were going. As the prince's horse fell Jay gave a smile knowing she had him. She would not really hurt him but giving him a good scare would be nice. When the ground caved beneath X-Caliber's hooves, he voiced Jay's silent scream. Thrown into the air Jay twisted as she went. Slightly relieved when she landed on something slightly softer, this was replaced with a stabbing pain in her side. Looking down Jay saw that her knife was buried up to the hilt into her side. Her eyes widened and for a few moments she just lay there. Then moving slowly she carefully reached down and pulled a smaller dagger out of her boot.Reaching up she aimed a slash at the net cutting enough away to escape it. Tumbling out Jay got to her feet and staggered over to the side of the pit to see X-Caliber pacing at the bottom, he was unhurt but trapped. Jay turned to look at the prince her hand on the hilt of the dagger. She had not removed it yet knowing that it would do more harm then good, however she still had her spare in her other hand. Looking at the prince she saw the fear in his eyes but it was not derected at her. Turning around Jay saw a man standing behind Rebbeca with a knife at her throat. Taking a deep shurdering breath Jay said "let her go you coward, fight me if your not afraid." Raising her spare dagger Jay got into a low fighting stance.

Rebecca was not in the mood to be played with. She pulled a fire bomb she had constructed and threw I to the floor creating a sudden huge flame that came in-between her and her attacker. She wasn't trained in fighting so instead she cast her reins of her chestnut thoroughbred Lara to Jay and told her to run. They would have to come back for her horse later. Rebecca threw another bomb at the newcomer and ran to the prince. She quickly helped free him before shoving him onto his horse. "Ride now!" she commanded before turning to face her attacker. She ran at him full speed and collided with him sending them both tumbling to the floor in an attempt to give the others a chance of survival.

Arowin returned his kiss and lay beside Chris in the hammock tracing patterns on his chest. She wondered why everything was so quiet. She saw Scout fast asleep in Brander's stall while the horse munched on his oats.

Arianna rocked Kyle back and forth. The child had fallen asleep finally and now she too was feeling very sleepy. She gently put Kyle into his crib and the flopped down on her bed and fell asleep.

Jay quickly mounted Rebecca's horse. However she did not ride off as Rebecca freed the price and then tackled the attaker. Pulling her cloak around her to hide her wound, Jay spun the horse around and charged towards Rebecca. Reaching down Jay grabbed the back of Rebecca's shirt and pulled her onto the horse behind her. Spinning the horse Jay charge back to where the prince was on his horse. Grabbing the reins again Jay said "come on!" and started off at a gallop towards the Hoods hideout. She did not bother to check behind her, she was using all of her energy to keep them on track. Jay blinked and straightened up, she had been slowly leaning forward and she neary fell off the horse. Jay set her teeth, she needed to get back fast before she lost anymore blood.

Prince Stephan scrambled out from under his exhausted war horse, his arm throbbing lightly. He didn't feel comfortable going with the Hood, but there was no where else to go. He needed to water and rest Sinner, and with this eerie stranger after him as well, he was surrounded. Quickly slapping Sinner to his hooves, he got on his ride and forced the poor beast after the two girls. He lagged behind, unable to make the horse go much faster without reins.

Sam spun away from the burst of flames, his long cloak clearing the smoke. Without his own horse, he swung up into the trees, running lithely over the branches, jumping up and down a layer to avoid obstacles. He did all this with great accuracy and speed- it was clear he had had much practice. Up ahead he spotted a huge tree, bigger than the rest, and pulled up short. He could get up there easily, but would his charming persuasive side be enough to keep him alive? Satisfied, he retreated to a clump of branches that hid him from view, where he could watch and listen.

Chris began to doze off and a small, soft snore escaped his lips. His nose twitched, and he curled onto his side with his eyes flickering behind closed lids.

Jay was panting softly, her side was throbbing painfully the knife cutting it her flesh. She could feel a warmth spreading down her side and she did not need to look to know that she was in trouble. Jay forced herself to take a deep breath and tilting her head up she let out the shrill call of a blue jay. She did this twice, hopping Arowin heard her and not just sleep through the call. Deciding that she could risk it Jay looked over and saw that the prince was falling behind. Pulling gently on the horse's reins Jay slowed her mount down and let him catch up. Transfuring her reins to one hand Jay reached out and grabbed the other horse's reins. She then encouraged her mount faster, they had to get back soon Jay did not know how long she could hold on.
