Outlawed (Accepting)

(( Oops forgot Sam. ))

Sam just stood there. He was beginning to forget why he needed the Prince in the first place. Chaos was occuring, and he was glad. A chance to escape with his prize. But something kept him. He cautiously approached the girl Rebecca. "We are on the same side," he said. He steeled himself, knowing embarrasment was to come. "How can I help?"

Frank froze, about to lunge at Guy through his anger. Instead he huffed, slamming a fist against the cell bars and turning round, running out of the dungeons and up to the main part of the castle, not even looking at Emerald as he passed her. He stormed up to his quarters, his head spinning a he slumped onto his floor. Guy seemed hurt but he didnt understand why he wasnt doing anything about it.

Guy scowled and stormed off into the cell where the torture devices were. Why was Frank making such a big deal out of this? He didn't understand, but then again he wasn't so sure himself.But it was none of Frank's buisness anyways. He cursed a little under his breath and pulled three one inch long knives from a drawer.He stuffed them in his pocket before grabbing two daggers and walking out. He notified the two guards at the dungeon entrance not to let anybody in and then strode back to his daughters cell. "Ready?" he asked sarcastically.

Arowin stood up blank as the dark grey wall. "What ever." she murmered. Her thoughts had turned to Chris and she wasn't faking the blank emotion that she felt. She had shut herself down so that their would be no pain. Now it was all she could hope for.

Rebecca smiled sheepishly. "Well We had better get to the abandoned castle." she said and looked at the map again. I have a hunch that Arowin will have everything we need their." she said and spurred her horse into a walk. "Lets get a move on, we don't have much time." she said, her natural leadership was being given free rein now.

Arianna smiled. "I wonder where Saya is." she said to no one in particular. "Its almost supper time." she continued.

Emerald scowled. "Whatever you too." she snapped back at Arrowin, still not fully aware that it was just an act. Guy, with the help of two guards, managed to drag Emerald to the torture cell. They put her wrists in chains on the wall, her ankles as well. Once she was all chained up Guy sent the guards back. "Ready as I'll ever be." Emerald growled. She gave a tug on the chains only to feel the cold metal pressing against her wrists. "Take your best shot." she challenged.

It took nearly an hour, and his hands were rubbed raw by the time he managed to pull himself through the tangles of branches and rough bark, but Chris found the platform. There his sword was, at it's best, shining softly in the dim light. He made s grab for it and cradles it in his arms. He felt hope blossom in him, but he stamped on the new feeling, attempting to crush it. He hated hope. It was a poisonous thing, that grew and gave you life only to trick you and leave you even weaker than before. He didn't need hope. He needed courage. He took a rest, breathing heavily and stroking the last gift Arowin had given him. He had to accept the fact that she was going to die, perhaps was already dead. Then he could move on, form his love for her into something the Hood could be supported with. No, not the Hood. Emerald was gone too. It was just Rebecca and the Prince and himself. A curious band of allies. Chris rose tom his feet and began to retreat down the trunk. Time to find the others, if they were still out there.

Sam nodded, resisting the urge to leave and escape this confusing madness. He could not stand being told what to do. He had to be in control. He itches everywhere. He looked around awkwardly, feeling his neck and wincing at the dark bruises that were already forming. "I don't own a horse," he admitted, feeling too tired to run right now.

Stephan shook off his wariness of Sam and focused the problem ahead of them. "You can take Arowin's horse," he decided hesitantly. He gestured to the stables, then realized Sam was not about to go find Ace and went himself. He called out gently, looking for the stallion. He loved horses, and the hidden place smelled strongly of them. It was comforting. He missed Sinner, who had been left in the woods alone when Emerald had returned.

Saya slips in and makes their supper and puts a shawl on since it was getting cold. It would hide the fact that everything is cut off.

Rebecca hesitated slightly at the sugestion. She wasn't so sure if Arowin's horse would be tame but then she relised they wouldn't be riding. "Stephan, catch all the horses." she said waving towards where the prince's horse, her own horse Lara and Arowin's grew where mulling around the courtyard. "We don't need to ride them, we are going as gypsys remember." she said with a smiloe as she opened the barn door. There stood two brightly coloured gypsy wagons. "Perfect," she murmered to herself. She grabbed an old rag and whistled to Lara. The chestnut mare trotted towards her and then nickered in greeting. "Sorry girl." she murmered and rubbed the shining chestnut coat with the muddy rag so that Lara looked like a cart horse that worked hard and wasn't lookd after. If they went with proud war chargers pulling their cart they wouldn't make it out of the forest.

Ace snapped his teeth at a fly and reared up to attack it. He then saw the human heading towards him and flicked his ears back for a second as he watched the prince. Then he squealed like a foal and trotted over to him in a friendly manner.

Arowin cringed slightly at Emerald's bravado. It was going to be a lot harder to get her free when the time came if she kept this up. Arowin was tied with rope but the guards thought nothing of her, she was broken, simple as that.

Envy cantered around the forest, neighing for Emerald. Where was his owner? Where? He was frantically searching for the person that kept him company all these long years. Between neighs he heard Ace whinny and stopped, pricking his ears. He squealed back. Maybe Emerald was with him. He started off in that direction with a hopeful feeling.

Guy smirked. "I think I will." he taunted back. He stepped forward, his face inches from Emerald's. He searched her over for a moment before she lunged. Her forehead clashed hard against his, making both their head hurts but effective enough to make Guy stumble back a few steps. He growled and whipped out one of the spikes from his pocket. He dodged her next lunge through the chains and stabbed her in the arm with the inch long spike. She grunted and bit her lip so she wouldn't cry out. It was exactly what Guy wanted and she would not give that to him.. "Is that all you got?" she challenged again. Guy scowled and punched her in the gut. She felt the air whoosh out of her and she had trouble breathing. "I know you've got more than that." she managed to choke out.
