Hail prince Enzo

[EvanAllMighty]

Rogue was the fiest to wake after Eli stopped singing. She had to take care of that nasty cut on Enzo's leg. When she was finished the wound was covered with tied pieces of cloth from her already tattered dress and not wanting to hurt Enzo further she cralwed to where Eli lay and curled herself up next to him aching for the comfort of human contact

Eli had been asleep, but he woke slightly when he felt someone curl up next to him. He opened his eyes a little bit to see it was Rogue. Relief flooded through him, knowing that it wasn't a threat. He curled up with her, so they were curled up together. Even though he didn't know her, it felt nice, relaxing, comforting. And that's probably the best feeling he could feel right now.

 

[EvanAllMighty]

Rogue tensed up when she felt Eli move but relaxed again when she realized he was curled up with her. She woke a few hours later in the same position. She had half a mind to check on Enzo again but she just didn't want to move, she never would have thought she'd be comfortable here but she was

Violet woke up, to see Rogue and Eli all cuddled up next to each other and since Violet was pretty young and naive, her thought's went straight into that direction and she suddenly felt lonely. She might be a little young and naive, but stupid or selfish, she was not. She definitely wasn't going to huddle up next to them, acting like it was a group cuddle or anything. Instead, she crawled closer to Enzo. She wasn't going to curl up next to him, especially since his beating, but she was fairly close to him. She actually watched him for a little, while she tried to fall asleep again. It was no use, no matter how hard she tried or how tight she closed her eyes, her mind wouldn't let her drift off to sleep again. So she stayed awake while the others slept, sort of watching over them and sort of lost in her own little world, her mind full of fantasies about what she might encounter on this strange journey.

"you look like your starring at ghosts." Enzo muttered when he woke up. He looked around from his spot on the ground and saw rogue and Eli laying together. Some how they fit together well... Good thing too Rogue needs someone closer to her age to hang out with. He looked back to volite "

 

[mrsguppiepants]

Violet jumped at the sound of Enzo's voice. She hadn't realized he was awake. She nodded, agreeing to his comment, "Yea probably. They look good together. But maybe then again it could just be the comfort of each other from being in this place. It might not mean anything..." she trailed off unsure of her own words.

 

[EvanAllMighty]

"it will only mean something if they want it to mean something. Nevertheless, this is a bonding moment believe it or not. If we can help each other through this hell I have a feeling our friendships will not be easily broken." Enzo was almost able to speak all that without having to stop to catch his breath... Almost.

 

[mrsguppiepants]

Violet nodded, "Yea, I can see that." She felt like she wanted to cry. Stress suddenly flooded over her. "Why are we here. If it wasn't for all this bull, we wouldn't need a stupid bonding moment!" She was almost yelling, but she knew she had to keep her voice down.

 

[EvanAllMighty]

"Shh princess. The other two are sleeping. I'm sure we will find out soon enough" Enzo replied trying to sooth her "and then this will be over soon after that"

 

[mrsguppiepants]

She swallowed, gathering strength to suck up all the sobs and stress. She realized how her outburst made her look so immature and weak and young, but that was exactly what she didn't want to look like. "I'm sorry," She whispered, "From here on out, I'm going to be strong."

 

[EvanAllMighty]

"we are strong to begin with. we are royals, we surive." enzo said quitely managing a smile for her "we will get out of here one way or another"

 

[mrsguppiepants]

His words reassured her, inspired her, excited her to get out of this place and go back home. She smiled, "Thanks," But then she wanted to change the subject. "So how are you feeling?"

 

[EvanAllMighty]

"ive been better" he said with a grin "ive also been worse. ill be fine as long as that cut on my leg doesnt get infected"

 

[mrsguppiepants]

Violet hadn't even noticed the cut on his leg, but once he mentioned it, her eyes followed down his body and they rested at the sight of the wound. "It does look pretty nasty," She whispered, hoping that he'd be okay. She could see that he was smart and skilled and honestly he was probably their best bet getting out of there....

 

[EvanAllMighty]

"Rogue has bandged it... she good with that sort of thing, i should be fine"

 

[mrsguppiepants]

Violet nodded, "Yea, I noticed that. And good. I sure hope so." Her voice was still very quiet.

 

[EvanAllMighty]

"I have to pee. Can you help me up?" he asked already starting to sit up on his own

 

[mrsguppiepants]

"Sure..." She said, trying to help him but was hardly useful after he already stood up by himself.

 

[EvanAllMighty]

Enzo stumbled over to the gate seeing no other real place to pee and went about his business. When he was finished he took from his pocket a shard of metal and a short length of metal wire he swiped while they were torturing him and tried at picking the lock on the gate

 

[mrsguppiepants]

Violet wanted to ask so many questions like You know how to do that? and How? and Are you sure you wont get caught? or What's gonna happen if you do get caught? Is it even worth it? But she kept quiet knowing how risky his actions were.


Eli's eyes opened slightly. He still felt sore, which made him want to lay there and go back to sleep, but then remembered what kind of situation he found himself in, so he sat up and looked around. Immediately, he hoped he didn't wake up Rogue since he forgot they were even touching. Then he noticed Enzo trying to pick the lock... "What are you doing?" He whispered.

 

[EvanAllMighty]

He didn't answer. The fact of the matter was he wasn't a hero he didn't volunteer to save Eli some pain or become the mutual leader of the group or anything like that. He volunteered for a chance to grab tools. Tools he knew Eli wouldn't have known to look for. He was doing this for himself more than anything though he wouldn't stop anyone who followed his lead. The shard of metal had been jammed in his leg and he stuck it in his pocket while no one was looking. The wire he swiped from a table while walking by it. Swiped it from right under their noses.


The lock was easy enough to open even though it took him nearly ten minutes to do it. but he didn't leave it open long. Someone was walking down the hall. he quickly shut the door and hid his tools just as a young man came into view clearly a royal by his clothing and judging by the bound and gagged slightly younger boy behind him he was also behind the kidnappings
