Royal Shadow

[Hellfire]

Darren smiled softly. "He really would do anything for the slums and its people." He shook his head. "I don't know him all that well, but it does surprise me that he would even think about working with a royal." He says, frowning in thought. "No offense." He says quickly, realizing his mistake.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella shrugs, "We weren't even working together at first. He sent a ransom to my father, assuming the man cared enough to pay it off." She says, shaking her head, "The ransom was never payed, not even acknowledged." She murmurs, "He changed me really, the truth changed me. I don't think I've looked at myself as a Royal since."

 

[Hellfire]

"It is nice to know that people have it in them to change for the better." Darren said as he kept an eye on the surrounding area. "I wonder what it will be like in the future." He mused as he noticed a group of guards. He pointed them out to her with a subtle nod of his head.

 

[RavenMist]

"it'll be different. I'm sure plenty of people will still hate me. I'm sure I'll have plenty of death threats but I'll try my best. I doubt everyone will be so welcoming of the help and changes." She says, looking at the guards and smiles slightly, "Problem solved, I need a meeting with all of the guards. Everyone rounded up and sent to me." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

"Shouldn't be to hard now that the rebels are backing down." Darren said as they neared the group. "They are not that many guards by my understanding, maybe a few hundred." They met up with the group of guards. One of them they had met on their way to the rebel camp.


"Hello ma'am." His words caught the other guards attention and they all turned to Isabella, standing at attention.

 

[RavenMist]

She smiles, "We solved the issue concerning the rebels and they shouldn't try to get into the city again. Though I want some men to remain in position near the city walls. I can't trust the rebels, not all of them." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

The guard nodded and turned. He sent one of the guards to inform the others. He paused, stopping the messenger. "Where do you want the rest of the men ma'am." He asked quickly.

 

[RavenMist]

"I want some guards to take over in the prison and guard the royals. Right now I think Shadow has some of his people guarding them." She says, "If anyone questions the notion, tell them I have the order." She adds.

 

[Hellfire]

The guard sent off the messenger. "We have not been able to get access to the prison ma'am. They have held us back with stun weapons, and they have locked down the building." He frowned. "I apologies ma'am, but it appears you are going to have to have someone contact they to inform them they need to allow us into the building."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella sighs, "I'll do it myself, Shadow is busy." She says, crossing her arms and looking at Darren, "This'll be fun." She says sarcastically, walking in the direction of the prison building within the city.

 

[Hellfire]

"They probably just assume that the guards are trying to save the royals, which is probably what they were trying to do." Darren said, checking his gun. He reloaded it, refilling the used clip as they walked. "Do you have a way of contacting the people inside without just walking in?"

 

[RavenMist]

"Yes but it's not as interesting or as fun." She remarks, "I'm not even sure they'll listen without shadow being beside me. It's worth a shot though." She adds.

 

[Hellfire]

"As long as they know who you are you should probably be fine." Darren commented, noticing that they were nearing the prison. "If you can't get them to let us in, we could probably contact Shadow."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods slowly, looking at the entrance of the prison and noticing two men. She glances at Darren, "Let's try to calm approach, then bossy ass leader approach and then if all else fails, I have you to back me up." She says with a small laugh.

 

[Hellfire]

Darren stifled a laugh. "Quiet the plan." He whispered before they approached the men. They noticed them immediately and leveled their weapons at them. "No one is allowed to enter." One of them said, pointing his gun at Darren.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella sighs, "Who gave you that order? I think you'll find, if it was shadow then I gave him that order. Who's in charge of the prison right now?" She asks, "Bearing in mind I'm the leader of this region as of, oh wait, now. I think you might want to reconsider where you aim your weapon." She explains with a sickly sweet smile.

 

[Hellfire]

"Blake gives the orders around here." The man said, his eyes narrowing. "And if you are who you claim to be, then you belong in this prison with the other royals." He moved forward threateningly. Darren whipped out his gun and pointed it at the man.


"Not another step." He warned, his voice a low growl. "She may have proof that she knows Shadow, if not then will can contact him. You will not come any closer while you wait, if you do I will put you down."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella shakes her head and sighs, "Clearly no one actually understands the meaning of, I'm not a damn Royal." She mutters, "We'll have to get Shadow," she adds finally, "The only proof I have of knowing him is his real identity and no one can know that, that's the whole point of being Shadow." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

Darren's eyes widen in shock. "You know his identity." He said it in disbelief. "Does he even have one?" Darren finally recovered. "Nevermind." He shook his hand, searching through his pockets. He pulled out a rectagular device. He typed in a few numbers. He waited a few moments.


"Kind of busy." Shadow's tone was quiet. "What do you need." A few shots could be heard in the background.


"We are at the prison, we need to get in." Darren talked into the phone.


"Attempted assasination attempt of the head royal 2 years. Covered by theft of royal car by me." The phone abrubtly hung up. The guards nodded their heads.


"Come along then." One said, before they led them into the building.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella looks at Darren before heading inside, "I've seen him without a mask and I know his actual name." She says with small smile, "Strictly confidential of course." She crosses her arms, being careful of her hand. She looks around slowly now.

 

[Hellfire]

The men took them to Blake. He was in the command center of the prison. "Sir, these people are connected to Shadow." Blake turned and looked at them. He recognized Isabella, but frowned at Darren.


"I know her, but I do no know him." Blake said his men moving towards Darren. "Why are you here Isabella?" Blake asked, his bored gaze looking to her. "I have done as you asked."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella raised her hand, "The man beside me is another procautoon that Shadow has taken in order to keep me safe. It's be appreciated if you told your men to back off." She states, crossing her arms. She smiles slightly, "Shadow is taking care of something else. I came to let you know that my men will be taking over the prison, you can be irk with them or leave upon your own choice." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

Blake gave a small smile. "Just let Shadow know that i consider my debt to him to be paid." Blake said, nodding to his men. Them left the room, leaving the three of them alone. "If you or Shadow ever require my services again, preferable in my proffesional field, you will have to pay my wages." He handed her a card. It read "Silent Guild. Assasinations, kidnappings, and stealing." It gave a single contact number.


"Till next time then." He said as he walked towards the door.

 

[RavenMist]

She nods, staring at the card, "Thank you." She says, looking back up to Blake, "I'll let Shadow know." She adds, watching him leave. She glances at Darren once alone and sighs, "I'm starting to realise even more how lucky I was to be kidnapped by Shadow and not any other group." She mumbles, shaking her head.

 

[Hellfire]

"To be honest there are a lot of darker elements in the slums." Darren said, looking at the door were Blake had left through. "It would probably be a good idea to get rid of those, they hold a lot of power in the slums." Darren frowned, looking back at Isabella. His frown turned into a smile. "On the bright side, we didn't get shot or anything like that."
