The Escape

"Heh, you forgot stubern," Elizabeth said trying to find something that can make her laugh, "I really wish things were already the way they were. Dianna is still lost, and father isnt with us yet.......I miss mother a lot," she looked at her arrows, "I better get to sleep. Wake me up if anything happens," Elizabeth said walking out. "Night."

Aqua sat on her bed in the empty room. Her whole mind was blank.

 

Jason smiled, "night...." he said turning back to Isabelle, "well I guess I should try sleeping as well..." he said pulling a blanket over him and moving kind of close to Isabelle, "I'm here for you..." he said falling asleep.

Will looked at Elizabeth, "getting some rest....sounds like a good idea....tomorrow we plan for real....." he smiled.

 

Naomi smirked when she saw dawn, "Think we should burn down their home in their sleep? It seems more......I dont know, restful."

Nova was near the house looking at it. Elizabeth was still asleep pictureing what Nova was seeing.

Aqua went back to the shop studding the books and closed the store.

 

Captain Rasel thought for a second, "hmmm.....perhaps.....or perhaps we should just destroy the whole little town...." he grinned.

Jason woke up and turned to his side, he looked upon Isabelle, "Isabelle...." he said gently reaching out and touching her cheek, "I hope your feeling better now that we have you away from those two....I'll make sure you are...."

Will had woken up far earlier than the rest, "hmmm....planning.....today we might even make our strike....." he said thinking, "especially since we have all the knights to back us up now...."

 

"I'm in on that," Naomi said trying to hide her laugh. "Oh thats going to be so breath takeing."

Nova flew over to Will and landed next to him looking in the forest curiosly. Dust was still sleeping. Elizabeth woke up but she stayed in bed a little more. "Things reapet themselves so often. Maybe we can break that pattern before it gets worse."

Aqua walked in the room with Naomi and Rasel in diffrent clothes, like the ones for the soldiers.

 

"Well well....what do we have here...." Captain Rasel said noticing Aqua's change in clothes, "ready to fight for us are you.....excellent....." he grinned.

Jason sat up and leaned his head on Isabelle's chest, "hmmm she seems to be breathing ok......" he said picking his head back up and looking her over, "her arm is the only wound I see...." he said finding some warm water and gently dabbing her arm.

Will noticed Nova and petted her, "hey there Nova....none of the others awake...." he smiled looking over to their little area, "oh well....I'll tell them about the meeting later...." he said getting up off the wall and walking into the meeting room.

 

"She's been studding," Naomi said looking at her, "Lets hoe she dosent surpass me too soon. Lets get going." she walked out with Aqau. Naomi called over her dragon. "Rasel, you'll need to take Aqua with you."

"Wow, some rough timeing," a voice said comeing from a tree. Nova jerked her head to where it was comeing, "There there birdy, I'm not a bad guy."

Elizabeth shoot up, "Whats that?" she said getting up and dressing up quiekly then ran out.

 

"Of course..." Captain Rasel sighed, "come Aqua...." he said readying his horse and letting her ride infront of him.

Jason continued to stay with Isabelle, "I wish you could give me a sign that your ok..." he said gently touching her cheek, "I'm really worried about you.....I love you Isabelle....."

Will walked into the meeting, "excellent I'm not late for once...." he laughed leaning up against the wall, "just in time..." he said listening to someone speak.

 

Naomi got on her dragon and headed to the town. "Now, its the town, then them. This will be pleasent."

"Who or what are you?" Elizabeth said setting her arrows.

"Wow princess, never knew you could be so stern," A black fox with red on the tips of its ears and tail came from out of the tree. "Just like that over sized, flying rat." Nova looked like it was glareing at the fox.

Aqua rode with Rasel.

 

"So I'm curious Aqua....did Naomi leave you any will left at all?" Captain Rasel said looking at her, "or are you completely under her control...."

Jason continued to stay by Isabelle's side hoping for her to wake up.

Will continued to listen to the knights discuss, "well now....its obvious we will have to return to the castle at some time..." he said, "we can not just abandon our king...."

 

Aqua stayed quiet. She couldn't even hear what other people say to her.

"Will!" Elizabeth came running in. "Will, any idea's on talking rats?"

"I'm not a talking rat," the black fox came in, "You should be careful to what you say, I might not want to help you later on." Nova sneered at it.

Naomi waited for Rasel at the front of the town.

 

Captain Rasel looked at Aqua, "I see...." he rode up to Naomi, "you really took control of her.....no free will what so ever...." he laughed getting off the horse and helping her off.

Jason took a warm rag and gently wiped Isabelle's forehead, "so we have finally made it to the hideout....." he said checking her arm as well, "so we can finally get the plan going...."

Will looked at Elizabeth, "talking rat.....?" he said before noticing the fox, "a fox.....?" he said looking at it, "and its talking.....what witchcraft is this....."

 

Naomi smirked, "Best work yet. Atleast till we burn down the town." She glanced at Aqua, "Not much left of her. Are you soldiers ready?"

"Witchcraft? Oh that hurts," the fox said with sarcasim, "I'm not posessed or used as a puppet for anyone. I will not say where I am from and any other information that might give away my identiy. Are we clear on that?"

"Crystal clear," Elizabeth said and carried the fax out.

"Let me go!" the fox struggled to get out of her grip, "Dont you want that kingdom of yours helped?!"

"And how are we suppose to trust you?" Elizabeth said.

 

Captain Rasel grinned, "you all are to go into the city.....and destroy everything....and anyone....leave no survivors....." he said.

Jason continued to stay with Isabelle.

Will looked at the fox as Elizabeth took it out, "and what help can you provide...." he said, "we have a good group of knights, including myself who are willing to risk our lives for this kingdom....I think that will do fine...."

 

Naomi got on herdragon again. She turned to Aqua, "In the skies or on foot?" she said and Aqua stepped back, "Perfers the ground. It'll be boring but ok." Naomi took off.

"Well, I'm a healer for one, and another a great spy," the fox said.

"Hmph, why dosent that surprise me?" Elizabeth said stopping but holding the fox in front of her, "Not like we can trust you, incase your sent by Lord-who cares."

"If I was, then I would tell them of this place now wouldn't I?" The fox said grinning and Elizabeth froze. "I can help you if given the chance."

 

Captain Rasel took Aqua's hand, "alright lets go....you and I will be sticking together while we destroy the town...." he said getting out his sword with the other hand.

Jason stood up and leaned up against the wall, "Isabelle...." he said looking at her.

Will sighed, "hmmm.....perhaps you could....perhaps you couldn't....." he said, "point being your delaying our mission by interupting our meeting....."

 

Naomi was swoping down at people takeing whatever seemed valuable. the peopled were waveing their fist at her angrilly. "Dont worry, you'll be angery at something elsesoon enough!"

"Well, your people arent the only one's influnced by this new rulling," Elizabeth putted the fox down, "Even asked the hourse and birdy. It's not just about you humans anymore. I can prove my abilities quiet nicely. One, I can heal your knights as quikly as your birdy," the fox said and Nova sneered at it, "Second, I can be keeped hidden and trick the eminy."

"/are you gettingall this Will?" Elizabeth said turning to him.

 

Captain Rasel walked around the town with Aqua by his side, "look at this...." he grinned watching his soldiers destroy and slaughter people, "these people didn't do anything....but they happened to be near the person who did....its rather funny....this is your town Aqua....and yet your standing here not saying a word...."

Will looked the fox suspiciously, "right.....we will give it a time....but don't think it won't take one swift slice to bring you down if you betray us...." he said turning back to the meeting.

 

Aqua sayed quiet looking at the town acting like she was blind but still knew where she was going.

The fox grinned and Elizabeth glared at it. "So what in it for you?"

"That would give away my idenity," the fox said looking at the meeting, "So, how can I prove my loyalty?"

"Its going to take a lot to do that," Elizabeth said looking at Nova.

"then how about bringing back a good freind? or sister?" the fox said and Elizabeth looked at her in shock, "Like I said, I'm a great spy and I've been watching all of you. I also said I heal didnt I?"

 

Captain Rasel hacked down a citizen, "hmm....not quite what I plan to do to Will.....but fairly close...." he said hacking down another.

Jason continued to stay by Isabelle's side, he gently picked up her hand and held it.

Will looked at the fox, "hmmm we do have a injured friend.....fine but you do anything other than heal her and I will kill you fox...."
