Royal Shadow

[RavenMist]

Isabella woke up sometime after whilst he was checking the bike. She rubs her eyes and yawns lightly before she sits up and around slowly. She stands slowly, let herself stretch.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow walks back inside, wiping his hands with a rag. "Morning." He says politely as he notices that Isabella is awake. "The bike is ready to go, and as far as I can tell their are not any guards in the area." He informs her.

 

[RavenMist]

She nods now, before picking up her dress that she took with the cloak, "Would now be an appropriate time to change into this dress or will people just notice who I am." She says lightly, she wasn't too sure about people knowing who she was just yet.

 

[Hellfire]

"It would probably be a good idea to go ahead and change." Shadow said turning around. "Just let me know when you are done." He said. He crossed his arms as he looked at the door.

 

[RavenMist]

She unchanges, making sure that he wasn't watching. She puts the dress on now and adjusts it properly. She puts the cloak on after and smiles, "Done."<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_12/image.jpeg.f4979c4ff3f569f4c15514774ca59ae0.jpeg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="89239" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_12/image.jpeg.f4979c4ff3f569f4c15514774ca59ae0.jpeg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow turned. He looked her up and down, nodding his approval. "Not bad." He said with a wink. " You'll be a ruler in no time." He paused for a moment, seriousness entering his voice. "When do you want to go meet your father?"

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella smiles, rolling her eyes, "I was already having to prep for that anyway." She says lightly. She looks around and then back at him, "We can go whenever. What would be easiest?" She says lightly.

 

[Hellfire]

"Anytime would be the about the same as far as I know." Shadow said, thinking. "You have the easy part since you'll just have to go through the front doors. I'll shadow you from a distance. Whistle if you need me otherwise I will wait till you have talked with your father."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods, "We should go now then." She says lightly, she takes a deep breath, "Hopefully he'll listen." She murmurs lightly.


(Can you do her father? Or should I?)

 

[Hellfire]

(I can if you want me to, just let me know what kind of character you want him to be)


"Alright, we are not that far away so we can walk, it's less obvious." He said as he opened the door and walked outside. He tunred and headed towards the royal house.

 

[RavenMist]

(Cruel and cold. Only showing compassion for his daughter. So somewhat caring, but only to an extent.)


Isabella nods now, following behind him slowly. She looks around slowly, pulling her hood up over her head. She sighs lightly, she knew what she had to do but she hadn't prepared herself mentally for it.

 

[Hellfire]

(Will do)


Shadow walked with her for a majority of the distance before turning to her. "From here you are on your own, whistle if you need me." Without another word he disappeared into a nearby alley.

 

[RavenMist]

She nods at him and then walks inside, the guards staring at her. Her eyes start to water slightly and she falls into character, "Daddy?" She calls out lightly, no one stops her, instantly recognising her, "I got away." She says quietly, her voice breaking.

 

[Hellfire]

A large man with greying hair steps towards her, his brown eyes searching her. He wordlessly pulls her into a hug. As they pull about he looks down at her. "Who took you?" His tone of voice clearly telling you what he would do to them.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella hugs him back, "I don't know. I was blindfolded most of the time." She lets out quietly, she wipes her face, stepping back. She takes a deep breath now, "Daddy, we aren't safe here. We have to go. There's someone coming to kill you tomorrow. Please, can we just go somewhere and hide." She murmurs quietly, looking at him sadly, tears still falling.

 

[Hellfire]

He doesn't question her, he simple turns to one of the guards and gestures for him to follow. He leads her quickly inside, leading her into a room. He orders the guard to protect the door. He closes the door then turns towards his daughter. "We cannot show weakness." He said to her as he led her to the other side of the room. "The rebels have gotten more bold in the past days." He said, anger in his voice. "If what you say about assasination is true, then they need to be stopped now."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella looks at him, "No, you'll get hurt, please. Just come with me." She murmurs, "Did you even attempt to pay the ransom?" She murmurs softly.

 

[Hellfire]

"I had the guards searching for you, and they would have found you." He said stubbornly. "I cannot seem weak to these rebels, I will stay here until they have been crushed. I will send you somewhere safe until then."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella crosses her arms, "Stop it. Stop acting like you care if this is all you're going to do?" She murmurs sadly, "If you cared you would have done everything to find me. We have so much money, you could have payed the ransom with no trouble." She says angrily, "If you don't leave, I'm not going anywhere. They got in last time for Christ sake, they took me and you want to sit here stubbornly and wait on them to kill you." She says loudly, she falls quiet now, "Why can't we just go, please. This isn't worth it." She cries again.


"What would mother do right now if she saw how you are acting." She says, her voice breaking again, they never spoke about her mother but she hoped he'd listen.

 

[Hellfire]

His eyes showed saddness at the mention of his wife. He was silent for a moment as he looked at her. "Isabella.... if your mother were her she would probably tell me to listen to what you have to say." He said with sadness. He sighed. "But I cannot let them win, I will listen to why you want me to leave." He said, grabbing her hand. "You do not have to worry about me though, a new securtiy system has been put in, and their are more guards thatn every. I will be safe, and I will not let you get taken again."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella turns away still letting out a cold laugh, "Do you honestly think a bunch as cheaply trained guards are going to save you?" She says, "If you really want to make me happy, you'd leave with me." She mumbles. She wipes her face turning back to him, "They were right about you." She mumbles shaking her head, "You aren't going to listen either, are you? You never do." She mutters. She didn't know how to get shadows attention, she wasn't sure where he even was but she was running out of ideas.

 

[Hellfire]

"What do you mean they were right about me." He asked, his hand tighting around hers. "What did they do to you?" He looked her over. He suddenly looked around the room. "You are working with them aren't you." He accused his eyes cold.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella winced as his grip tightened, "I got away to save you, I fought my way through those slums to try and save you." She says, her voice shaking, "They are going to kill you." She murmurs, trying to pull away from him, "I lost mother, I'm not losing you too." She murmurs, actual tears falling.


"They aren't that bad, the rebels. The ones that kidnapped me had good intentions." She adds lightly, "They want to help people that you are hurting."

 

[Hellfire]

Anger fills his voice. "You say they are not bad, but they are planning on killing me." He gives a harsh laugh. "People have to be ruled, otherwise they simply destroy each other trying to get to where I am now." He said, his grip holding her there. A soft thud could be heard outside of the door. He turned and looked at the door. "You brought the rebels to me?" He let her had go before turning back to look at her. A sad smile crossed his face.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella watches him carefully, "There's different groups, Daddy. The ones with me they- they want to make people happy. You don't help people, you take their money." She murmurs, "How is it fair, how is it right? That we live like this, and they all suffer." She lets out, moving away from him, she wished shadow would just come now, "I wanted to talk to you. But I doesn't work. I should have known better, you never do listen." She murmurs, looking at the door.


"you've pushed your own daughter away, let me tell you one thing. when you die or can no longer rule. I'll look after this region better than you ever did." She says coldly, her eyes glaring now, "and at least I know why mother is dead. Because you became greedy and the people retaliated. You are the only one to blame for her death. You are the one that caused all of this."
