Royal Shadow

[Hellfire]

Shadow slipped into the room, closing the door silently behind him. "We have a few minutes before the alarm is raised." He said to Isabella. He looked at her father silently.


Isabella's father laughed. "So, you are my assasin." He smirked at Shadow. "I was expecting a little bit more than just a foolish boy in a mask." He pulled out a hidden gun and aimed it at Shadow.


Shadow froze, a smile crossing his face. "And I was expecting to meet a better man, funny how thingsturn out different that what we think they will." He threw a small silver ball while jumping to the side. It struck Isabella's father in the head but not before he shoots. The bullet goes clear through Shadow's right shoulder as the ball sends out a small electeric shock.


Isabella's father falls to the floor, unconsious. "Sorry, I had to stun him." Shadow winces as he grabs his shoulder.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella looks around gasping as everything happened so quickly. She looks down at her father, shaking her head before living after to Shadow. She notices his shoulder, "He shot you." She says lightly, "We need to get him out of here, tie him up and keep him somewhere." She murmurs, "Then I'll help with your wound. I'm good at first aid." She murmurs, looking around, "The guards might be a problem now."

 

[Hellfire]

Shadows laughs, examining the wound. "The bullet went straight through." He observed as he walked over to her father. "We need to get out of here now, first aid can wait." He says as he binds her father's hands and feet, placing a cover over his mouth. He throws the man over his left shoulder, grunting slightly. "What is the quickest way out from here?" He asks Isabella.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella looks around slowly, "The fastest way is the front door, but after the gun went off, the guards will be there." She says lightly, "It's the quickest way, just means we have to get through, four guards." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

"Sounds like fun." Shadow fumbles with his right hand in his pocket and pulls out a small gun and hands it to Isabella. "This only stuns." He shows her how to operate the weapon before pulling out another one. "Let's go." He slips out into the hallway first, finding it clear he waits for Isabella to show him where to go.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods as he explains, walking ahead how, the gun rightly in her hand. She opens the final door that leads to the front door, four guards stood in the hall. Two stood by the door, guarding it, two more stood at other doors, "Move out the way, I don't intend to harm you." She says to them lightly but they noticed her unconscious father and move toward her, "I'm his damned daughter, he's in danger, I'm taking him to safely." She mutters. The guards continue to move toward her though and she raises the gun, stunning each guard. Her face showed how much has hated harming them even though they were unconscious. She winces down, moving past them.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow follows silently, once they are outside he leads her back to where the bike was parked. He quickly placed her father on the bike then turned to her. "Let's go ahead a patch up my arm while we have the chance. He ran inside and brought out a small first aid kit. He pulled up his sleeve so that the wound was exposed. "Do you know how to use on of those?" He asks, nodding toward the bike.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella shakes her head, "Not really. Never had the chance to learn." She says quietly, looking at him and then his arm. She glances at her father and sighs, "How long before he wakes up?"

 

[Hellfire]

"Can't be sure, it depends on the person." He said as he cleaned his shoulder. "For a guy of his size, i guess maybe 15-20 minutes, but again it depends on him." Shadow pulled out a small rod. He pressed a button and waited a few moments as one end of the object slowly turned orange.

 

[RavenMist]

She nods slowly, watching him now. She takes a deep breath, looking around slowly again before pulling her hood of the cloak back up. She turns back to him, "Do you have any idea where we can go?" She asks lightly.

 

[Hellfire]

"I have a safe house that isn't that far from here." He says before pressing the end of the rod into his shoulder. He sucked in sharply as the smell of burning flesh filled the air . He pulled the rod away and looked at his shoulder. "We need to get there while we still have a head start." He said as he attempted to press the rod into the back of his shoulder.

 

[RavenMist]

She nods, "How's your shoulder?" She asks lightly, watching him and then moving to the bike. She looks down at her father and sighs, "I wish he'd just listen." She mutters.

 

[Hellfire]

" I'll live." He quickly finishes and sets the rod back in its case. He looks down at Isabella's father. He put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "Everybody has there own way of learning, perhaps your father just needs a bit more time."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods slightly, "Let's go." She murmurs softly and looks at him. She frowns down at her father before turning to him, "Thank you. For not hurting him. For caring." She murmurs quietly.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow smiles lightly. " You showed compassion to my people, the least I could do is show some compassion towards your people." He grabbed Isabella's dad and set him on the bike. Shadow frowned as he looked at the bike. "I don't think all three of us can fit." He observed turning to Isabella.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella looks at the bike and then back to him, "Leave me here, I'll hide somewhere." She says quietly, "Just put him in the safe house, keep him tied somewhere and hen come back for me." She says quietly.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow shakes his head. "You are more important than me." He says as he pulls out a small device. "I can put the bike on autopilot and send you and your father there. I have other means of transportation." Shadow looks in the direction they had come from. "They will be coming after us soon."

 

[RavenMist]

She climbs onto the bike and looks at him, "Be careful." She says softly, before making sure her father was properly on the bike. She looks around now and smiles softly, "Thank you." She adds.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow bows deeply. "It is I who should be thanking you." He says before standing back up. "Stay safe." He adds, handing her the device. "Press the button to activate the autopilot."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods lightly, turning the bike on but pressing the button before flying off. They stay low, looking around even as they move fast. She sighs, keeping an eye on her father and then around where she was going. After arriving, the bike stop and she moves inside quickly, dragging her father inside with her.


She ties him to a pole and looks around the room slowly, before moving to sit out of the way of him so he wouldn't see her when he woke up.

 

[Hellfire]

Her father wakes, struggling with the cover over his mouth. He finally spits it away from him. He tests the pole his is attached to, using all of his stength to see if he could free himself. Frustrated he looks around. "So, you choose to chain me like a dog?" He asks his surroundings, his eyes slowly going around the room. "I guess to some this would seem fitting." He says with sarcasim.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella hears her father and stands, walking out so she could see him and he could see her, "I didn't want this to happen." She mutters softly, "But you in your ways have made this region poverty ridden. Your taxes are high and the people starve." She says with her arms crossed, "The royals are greedy and obnoxious. Why are we not equal to them." She states.


"When I take over, things will be better. I'll show my mother what I'm capable of, doing the things you yourself could not." She mumbles, "If we hadn't taken you.. You'd be dead. The best assassins were going to take your head. This is a revolution, not a blood bath." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

He laughs at her, shaking his head. "You are to young to understand." He says quietly, looking at her. "If man is given what he wants he destroy others in his greed, the only way some of us can be happy is if others suffer." He trys to reach out towards her, his bonds stopping him. "I did everything so that you and your mother could be happy, if I hadn't then wewouldhave been ruled over by some foriegn royals. Can't you see that there is no other way?" He almost begs her.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella narrows her eyes, "I was never too young to understand. It was just a matter of learning the truth." She exclaims, throwing her arms into the air, "Your greed has nothing to do with looking of me." She adds, "You don't need to keep raising the rent of the homes, we don't need the money. We've been rich since the moment our family took over." She says sharply.


"I see a way. When I step up and take over I'll show you. People will be able to eat, and know their families are safe. They will all get to go to school, they will all have good clothes. Everything will be equal."

 

[Hellfire]

He shook his head. "Then other royals will see you as weak, and they will try to destroy you and rule over your territories." He sighed, looking at the ground. "I didn't do these things for money, money was never important to me. I only did it so that the other royals wouldn't try to take what was ours." He looked back up at Isabella, a coldness is his eyes. "I know what doing such things have done to me, but I would rather be a monster than my family be other's slaves."
