  • "Jay! I thought I told you to stand watch!" Hissed a tall man at Jay, a shortish girl with dark hair "And you said you wouldn't take long." She said simply as they both slip into the prince's bed room with out a sound. "If you get in the way..." He said trying not to shout. There was foot steps out side the door. "Hide!" He said as he slipped behind some curtains. The inexperienced assassin slipped under neath the bed. The door opened and she could hear someone walk in. When the door had closed, her mentor/tormenter (depending on what mood he was in) swung the curtains away and punched the prince in the face. He collapsed. "Jay!" He hissed at her as she slipped out from under the bed. "What?" She asked as she got up. She was down on the floor again when he punched her in the gut. "What the-" She didn't have much time to act. She had her dagger out as he tried to kick her face in. She rolled out of the way and jumped at him. He was faster though. He disarmed her and tossed her to the ground again. "You still don't think things though!" He said as he pulled his sword out and stepped on her chest to keep her from moving. "It's a good thing you came..." He started to go over his newly formed plan. "I'll make it look like you did it by kill him and then running you though with his sword. That way there is no doubt that I'm home free!" He lifted his sword to attack the prince after he made a step towards him. Jay jumped forward trying to take the blade but it cut her arm. She had a hold of his wrist. "I won't let you do this!" She said as he pulled away and swung at her. Another deep cut, this time on her side. Last chance... She drew a dagger and charged him again. She got him in the heart and he got her all the way down the back. She took a few shaky steps towards the way she came in to make an escape. To late... She collapsed feeling light headed and weak. She could hear some moving behind her. She rolled over to see the the prince was awake. Her eyes closed as she drifted in to unconsciousness. The last thing she remembered was hearing someone call for help and even though her vision was already black, she remembered feeling someone shaking her.

    I kicked Jay in the side, watching as she winced before coughing up blood. She needed a doctor, and fast. "Wake up ----." I mumbled, some not so pretty words streaming out of my mouth. As a guard I was on watch when a swift shadow fled the palace, holding a blood-dipped dagger, exiting the prince's quarters. I had been an idiot not to keep a closer watch, not to pay attention, not to focus. And now because of me, the prince was in hell, let's face it, no matter what rumors said, he was not an angel. Good riddance that he's gone... I didn't really mean it, it's just that that boy was a privileged, wealthy, rat who could do what ever he wanted without the media hurting his reputation. I could tell that Jay was coming to, her eyelashes were fluttering, and her muscles were twitching slightly. Hopefully they could get out of there soon, before too many interested onlookers stampeded the scene, pointing out that she had made a mistake that had cost the kingdom one of it's finest 'treasures' over and over again. I pulled Jay into a sitting-position and put her back up against the wall so that it would be supported. "Come on..."

  • Jay said some none to nice words as she came around, "Arr..." She went as her eyes opened fully. She looked at the person in front of her, slightly surprised that she was still living. "Are you going to kill me now?" She said, the pain she was in was clear noticed in her voice, "You would be doing me," She winced, "A favor..."

    "Kill you? Just because I'm a blood-thirsty attacker with 15 years of training in assignation? Gosh, I'm offended." I rolled my eyes as I pretended to pout like an abused puppy. "No, I'm not gonna hurt you...but if you wan't to live you might want to stand up and move your sorry *ss out of here." I glared down at the poor sight my eyes had to look at. Dried blood and exhaustion detailed her face, making her seem like she was just torn away from a battlefield somewhere. I sighed and offered to let me help her up, my eyes skittishly dancing across the dimly lit chamber, searching for any signs of life.

  • Jay hesitated. She glanced over at the bodies that were on the ground, one of which she killed. She took the person's hand and got up. She almost collapsed again from blood loos. "Which way? Be quick! I don't know how long I can keep this up." She glanced at the wounds on her hand and arm. She couldn't tall how bad the one on her back was.

    I flashed a grin at the young girl and pulled her to her feet. "That's more like it. Lean on my shoulder for support." I anxiously stepped out into the castle's courtyard, suddenly aware of all of the security measures taken at the castle. Two bloody guards, and a dead prince. Hmm, I wonder who their first suspects will be. I slipped into the shadows, sliding out of my boots so that I wouldn't leave a set of foot prints, I stashed them in my canvas military satchel and nodded at Jay, encouraging her to follow my lead. Once we had covered our past tracks I ducked under the brambles that surrounded the grim courtyard, shielding it from the dangers of the outside world that liked to linger in the dark. Thorns tore at my skin, lightly cutting my flesh, and piercing my unguarded face. I traveled farther and farther into it's grasp, hoping that it would make a decent cover for a while and give us an extra day or two to escape.

  • Jay followed closely. She was feeling weak as they crawled thought the plants. They were cutting into the wound on her back. "How much father?" She asked, surprised by the weakness that was in her voice. She was positive she couldn't keep going much longer.

    "i don't know, I guess it all depends on where you're heading." It wasn't like I had an idea in mind of my destination, I just didn't want to get framed for the incident or in trouble for not being able to focus. "Now that I realize this, I didn't plan our escape very well...Normally I have my head in the game but recently it's been in the clouds." I joked, trying to lighten the mood, which wasn't easy when your companion was half dead. "So who did it? Who killed him? You?" I eyed her, only slightly unnerved or suspicious. She probably was the assassin, but after a while you learn to fit in with their crowd, learn how to just go with the flow. I unsheathed my machete and started making a dent in the fortress of thorns that engulfed us. The waterfall...that would be a decent sanctuary until she recovers and this dies down....

  • "No. I was the the servant the killer. He tried to frame the murder on me." She grinned even in her pain. "I killed him first though, but he was still able to almost kill me." She winced as a thorn caught the wound on her back.

    "Huh, that's an interesting twist. i guess that I'd feel pretty betrayed if someone that I trusted enough to partner up with did that to me...but I doubt that I'll ever really understand. The deaths and threats that I deal out tend to be governmental cases, things that are messy when you step out of your boundaries, but at least they're more organized. So I was thinking about this waterfall, it's in an isolated location with a good source of resources, but it would be a few days more of a journey to get there than I originally expected." I pawed through my satchel, my fingers sailing over military equipment. I dragged out a small first aid kit and tossed it to Jay. "This might help. There's a pair of non-safety scissors that you could probably cut me up with, but just keep in mind that I'm the one with the machete, so no funny business." I wink at her before moving forward, the bramble thickets digging into my body.

  • Jay looked at the supplies for a second. She wrapped her hand and arm easily but she was having some difficulty with the her back. "I can't fix the cut on my back." She stated as she handed him the scissors and bandages back.

    "K, once we're out in the open I should be able to move around enough to help you bandage it up." I glance at her, watching thick crimson colored blood stream down her back. I accept the scissors and keep going, whacking at the 'wall' over and over. "We should be out soon." Warm light fell in beams, just ahead of them where there was a break in the thicket, and an opening to the world outside of the kingdom. "The King should really get a gardener to manicure his grounds...." I murmur, still plowing through the thorns.

  • (Sorry.)


    "Well he had a gardener." Jay said as she avoided the thorns the best she could. "He quit his job though. Well after he let me into the grounds the first time. He didn't like the thought that he could be killed for leaving the gate open." She laughed slightly as they finally left the thorns. "Something tells me I would quit before that if I had to deal with all these thorns."

I gasped for air as I stumbled out of my most recent nightmare. "Now all we have to do is trek in that direction until the soles of our feet are raw and bloody." I said, faint sarcasm on the tip of my tongue. It's not a lie though... The thought crept into the dark parts of my mind as my eyes drifted towards the vast mountain ranges, most of the time it wasn't easy to take one of these paths, if avalanches and bandits weren't enough, we''d also have the royal {and bloodthirsty} hounds nipping at tour feet within a day.➳[/size][/fancypost] [fancypost bgcolor=white; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth=; width: 300px; height: 20px; opacity: 0.80;]

  • "I think I might know a short cut..." Jay said after a second, "I think it might not work though..." She said thinking. She glanced over her shoulder for a second, looking at her wound. It looked like the bleeding was less then it was before.

I guess that by now I'm desperate." I simply stated and fell into place behind her, my footfalls synchronized with her's. I tucked my pastel pink hair behind my ear and glanced up at the glowing stars. They seemed to dance across the night sky, careless and free, flooding the world with a dim source of hope. Must be nice, not having to carry the weight of gravity on your shoulders all of the time. I sighed. Okay, let's face it, I'm a dreamer....➳[/size][/fancypost] [fancypost bgcolor=white; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth=; width: 300px; height: 20px; opacity: 0.80;]

  • "I'll try my best." She said as she picked up the pace and crossed diagonally across the forest they were in. She felt it would be fastest to walk that way and pick up a path she knew of. If she remembered correctly, it should lead them to a place to rest and the start of a quick way though the mountains.

I sheathed my blade and let my cold fingers wrap around it's engraved handle, tracing the carvings with my fingertips. I sighed, relieved that soon we'd be able to set up camp without being worried that we'd be slaughtered overnight. I was exhausted, and I had the dark circles under my eyes {that made me look like a raccoon} to prove it from sleepless nights, and the prospect of death only made my hunger for rest grow and ignite into a burning flame.➳[/size][/fancypost] [fancypost bgcolor=white; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth=; width: 300px; height: 20px; opacity: 0.80;]
