(( Sorry I've been super busy lately, it's not even winter yet and I have a terrible cold... uuughhh ))
Prince Stephan had slipped out of the cell again and was crouched behind a boulder searching for the dagger they had stolen from him when he saw Rebecca and Emerald emerge from around the back of the cave. He froze, quieting his breathing. He listened quietly to their conversation and realized they were leaving. He cursed himself inwardly and waited until they had headed off. He had to learn more. He had to talk to Rebecca. Panic gripping him, he leaped up and found his way back to where they had tied his horse. Stroking Sinner's mane, he jumped onto the still-saddled stallion's back and rushed after them, grabbing his shoulder bag of weapons from a cleft in the rock as he went. He kept back, tracking their hoof prints. His skilled eye caught on to their trail quickly, and he rode silently, moving faster than before. He saw the shapes of their horses in the distance, saw Rebbecca. He moved daringly closer and waved to Rebecca before noticing the fierce glint of her eyes. He saw Emerald double back and retreated into the woods, hoping Rebecca had seen him.
Chris lay in silence. The boards of the treefort creaked as his captor jumped from the platform.
Sam saw the girl, the leader, drop her dagger. He also realized the bait, but he didn't care. He had powers not everybody could imagine. With just a few words, he could have the girl give him what he wanted. He was, let's just say, VERY persuasive. Cautiously he made his way down the trees, sneaking around so that he was facing the girl's back. He stayed perched hidden in the low branches of a tree and called out, "I have your friend captive. His life is in your hands. Only I can find and reach him, and he would be a fool to try and escape on his own. I could have killed him a while ago, but I'll make you a deal. Give me the prince, and you can have him back alive."
Who are you to claim you're misunderstood?
