(( Ooooh, interesting twist!!! I'm not sure what to do with Chris... he is an emotional wreck. ))
Chris hid behind a tree and watched everything. Arowin being dragged away, emotionless, uncaring. He was burning, rigid with shame and guilt and horror and sadness, but he didn't move to stop Arowin's captors. He just stood, knowing Arowin would never forgive him if he interfered, would probably never forgive him anyways. Wasn't this what was bound to happen? Chris finally turned and walked away, oblivious to Arowin's plans. She would die, but Chris almost didn't care anymore. They all would, eventually. He hated himself and hated how he was surrendering to his fate. He knew he was wasting away as Casper had, silently, blankly. But something nagged at him he couldn't name. Though he didn't realize it, what was bugging him was that he still felt, even though he told himself he didn't. He hurt. He lusted. He was angry and confused. He wasn't a stone, like he had seen Emerald become in the times following Casper's suicide. He was still living. He still willed to live. But he wandered on, feet aching from the rough ground, thinking. Forming a plan of his own, subconsiously. He would find the others later. Now he had to get his sword back, the one Arowin had given him. He began to climb.
Prince Stephan knew somewhat what was going on, but he was pushing past the nerves and flashing a kingly, strong side he didn't know he had. He took the paper from Rebecca and scanned the words. A plan. Perfect. He smiled ironically, suddenly hungry for risk. "Where do we begin?" he asked Rebecca, green eyes glinting.
Who are you to claim you're misunderstood?
