Royal Shadow

[Hellfire]

Zach was quickly for a moment. He turned and talked to his fellow rebels. Shadow leaned against the door, watching the rebels. The rebels broke apart and Zach turned back towards Isabella. "How would you make people equal?" He asked, honest curiousity in his voice. "We agree that no one should suffer, but how would you punish those that had caused suffering?" He asked this, knowing it would affect her.

 

[RavenMist]

She pauses slightly, looking at him with a frown, "We do nothing. We take over and we rule properly. Two wrongs will never make a right. They should be punished, in some way. But just revoking them from having any power is going to hurt their egos." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

"So you suggest we keep them in power." Zach frowned not liking the idea. "They will simple continue there cruelties in secret." Zach shakes his head. "Those who abuse power should not be allowed to have it again."

 

[RavenMist]

"Oh no, not at all. We take away their power, they become ordinary citizens of the region. Let's destroy the idea of having Royals." She says lightly

 

[Hellfire]

Zach seemed happy with that idea, a small smile crossing his face. "Your idea sounds promising, but history does tned to repeat itself." Zach said, sighing. "For now I will draw back, just remeber if I find that you are involved in anything like those before you were then all bets are off." He turned to leave. "I cannot promise you that everyone will be happy with your idea, but for now you are safe from our involvment." Zach watched Shadow open the door. He quietly whispered something to Shadow as he lead the rebels outside. Shadow closed the door behind them.


"That was almost to easy." Shadow said, suspicion entering his voice as he watched the rebels through the slit in the door.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella frowns, "I just hope I can trust them, I can get power and change how thing are ran but if they even attempt anything it'll make it harder." She mumbles, looking around, "They don't trust me. They trust you, so even with the things they say I don't trust them, not properly." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow nods turning back towards her. "I didn't expect them to trust you, hopefully that will change in the future but for now all we need is their cooperation." He says, sighing. "Now all we have to do is get you into power." Shadow said with a mischivious smile.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella looks at him, "With a smile like that I'm sure you're looking forward to it." She says with a short and soft smile, "As his daughter, I pretty much inherit into the power but it's getting the royals to back off that'll be the problem." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

He laughs. "With the rebels at least on your side that will be easier. I'm not very expierence in politics, but I imagine my... skills could come in handy when needed." He was clearly excited about the thought of keeping the royals at bay. "I will admit that I am looking forward to such things."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella laughs and nods, "Well, let's just figure out where to start." She says looking at him and then away, staring at the door. She takes a deep breath and looks at him, "And make sure my father is okay." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow nods understanding. They go outside and hop on the bike. A few moments later they are back where her father is held. "I do wonder what we are going to do with him." Shadow said, thinking out loud. "We almost need someone to watch him."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods, "I don't trust anyone but you with this though." She murmurs, entering the building, looking at her father. She sighs, "I just wish we didn't have to physically lock him up."

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow sighs. "That is the unfortunate thing about not having very many close allies." He said as Isabella's father came into view. It was clear he had been attempting to get loose. A small trickle of blood ran down his arms from his wrist. He looked up at them, no shame on his face.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella sighs, kneeling beside her father once she notices the blood. She shakes her head, "Stop it." She orders, her tone harsh. She stands up and turns to Shadow, her face blank other than the look of worry in her eyes.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow notices this, without a word he moves towards her father and pats him done. Her father went to protest, but realiazed waht Shadow was doing. Satisfied that there were no hidden weapons Shadow touched his bonds. "We can let his go while we are here, as long as he doesn't run or anything like that." Shadow said to Isabella, looking her father in the eyes.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella just nods slightly before turning away from them both. She looks around and then finally turns, "Run and he stuns you again." She says softly. Her face showing how much she didn't want to have to hurt him.

 

[Hellfire]

Her father nods silently before Shadow realeases him. He rubs his bleeding wrist as he looks up at Shadow. "Well this is a surprise." He comments dryly as he narrows his eyes at Shadow. Shadow ignores him and takes a step back so he can stand up.

 

[RavenMist]

She watches her father wearily and looks around slowly, "Don't try to run. You're a wanted man and where we are there's plenty of people out of the doors that'll kill you." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

He grunts acknowledgement, looking at his surroundings. "I have no doubt that I wouldn't make it that far." He said with a sigh. His face quickly became expressionless. "Never doubt that if I had the chance I would get rid of your...friend." He says narrowing his eyes at Shadow.


Shadow laughs. "Any time, any where." He said coldly, watching her father. He broke eye contact though, aware that he had a promise to keep.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella sighs, "No fighting." She murmurs, moving to sit in the corner of her room away from them. She needed to think, she needed time alone.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow nods, then looks back at her father. "Perhaps we can play a friendly game of checkers." He offered, unsure of how to approach the man before him. Isabella's father scoffed, but nodded his head. Shadow pulled out a small device. He set it on the floor and both of them sat down. Shadow searched through his deivce for a moment before finding the game. He set it up, Isabella's father going first. They quickly progressed through the game, both only taking a short time to decide on which piecec to move and where.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella remains in the corner, not paying much attention to them. She rests her head on her knees, thinking about the days to come and the days that'd pasted. Everything has changed and yet so much remained the same. She sighs softly, closing eyes and trying to relax.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow smiles as he finally defeats Isabella's father. He leans back as the man examines the board for a moment. "Impressive." He comments, thinking back on how he had been beaten. "To bad you didn't join the guard, you would have been good at it." Shadow is surprised by the comment.


"My skills would not be right for a guard, and besides I like being something of a Robin hood." Both smile at the comment, then Isabella's father scowls.


"What does that make me?" He asked, curious of what Shadow's answer would be. Shadow pauses for a moment.


"Probably prince John." He said finally. Isabella's father nodded, seeming to learn something. Shadow reset the game and they began again.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella remains relaxed in her own world in the corner. She'd moved slightly, leaning against the wall, her eyes still closed. She listened to what they were talking about though every now and then.

 

[Hellfire]

They were on their fifth game and the score was 2 to 2, finally They just stopped playing without finishing the game. They had come to be somewhat calmer around each other, or a least less likely to attempt to kill each other. Shadow gave Isabella's father a firm handshake. "Not bad for an old man." He commented with a sly grin.


"Not bad for a boy who never shows his face." Isabella's father shoots back. His face is stern, but it is clear he has found a new level of respect for his enemy. "If you are that good in politics Isabella should be fine, although I doubt someone from the slums has much knowledge of politics." He says, sitting back.


"I may not know much about politics, but I have my talents." Shadow says distractedly.
