Royal Shadow

[Hellfire]

Shadow looked over at her, a frown on his face. Their blackade moved slightly. "They will get through soon." Shadow said turning to Darren. "I'll stay here and set up a trap for them, you and Isabella need to find somewhere to defend from. I will be right behind you once I am done. I will whistle three times to show it is me." The sound of wood splintering filled the air.


Darren nodded, moving towards Isabella. "Let's go." He said, looking back at Shadow. "We need to give him enough time to set up the trap."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods and follows Darren, she looks around slowly, "I've never wished death on anyone, even when my mother died. But today, I don't care. If they can't be stopped, that do anything in your power to stop them." She says to both of them, "There's only so much even I will put up with."

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow nodded as they left, quickly turning to his work. Darren looked back at Isabella. "Is there a safe room, or maybe an attic?" He asked as they moved.


A short time later Darren stumbled as a large explosion shook the building. He looked back the way the had come, concern clear on his face.

 

[RavenMist]

"Umm, there's an attic yes, but we also have a basement and a safe room." She explains with a grin, "Me and my father are the only ones who know where the safe room is, we could go there but shadow wouldn't be able to find it." She says slowly. She's startled by the explosion, "We have to go now, wherever we go."

 

[Hellfire]

Darren laughs slightly. "If he says he'll be behind us, then he will be." He said quickly. "Besides, he probably put a tracker on one of us, so we might as well go to the safe room." Darren looked back the way they had come. "We had better hurry, that explosion will only hold them back for a short time."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods and moves quickly toward the bathroom. She opens the door and moves a tile, watching as the sink shifted, moving to one side. Below was a set of stairs, "Down there." She says lightly, starting to move.

 

[Hellfire]

Darren shook his head, smiling. "Good old fashion trap doors." He said before ducking inside quickly. He whipped around suddenly to see Shadow at the entrance.


"This will work nicely." He commented as he followed them down the stairs.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella shuts the door behind them, hearing the sink move back into place. She then follows them down, "I've not been down in for a long time." She murmurs, looking around slowly. The darkness of the corridor brought back all of the old memories and she hugs her torso.

 

[Hellfire]

Darren looks around with curiousity. "An interesting place." He commented as they walked. "What all does this place have? Communications to the outside world maybe?" He asked Isabella, turning to her.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella shrugs, "We never use this room, unless we're under attack and even then it had to be very serious. I've only been in here a few times before." She murmurs, "From what I can remember they should be a computer system and possibly an exit that leads to the gardens." She murmurs, looking around. Once they enter the main room, she turns the lights on and closes another door to stop the light moving down the corridor. She looks around and moves to the computer, starting to tap away on it, "I don't think there's an option of asking for assistance, I don't trust anyone enough." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

Darren nodded, looking to the screen. Shadow found a place to sit and settled down with a sharp intake of breath. "Perhaps we can do better." He commented from his sitting position. "Maybe we can make one of their enemies aware of their advances, and they can fight each other. We can hanlde whoever survives afterwards."

 

[RavenMist]

She frowns but nods anyway, "As long as no innocent people are being hurt." She mumbles, "But even as enemies they could end up working together. People are getting desperate to get their own way." She murmurs, chewing the inside of her cheek.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow snorted. "These people are brutal and selfish. They would never team up, they don't trust the other." He said, rubbing his leg. "They would consider it beneath them to team up with those form other factions."

 

[RavenMist]

"A lot of people work together even if the trust between them is lost." She remarks, looking at him before shaking her head and looking away, "Fine. We'll get another guild. You're knowledge of guilds is higher then mine. You do it." She says, walking to the other side of the room. She kneels down and starts to look through the boxes, it had food and other resources in. She pulls out a map of the tunnels and looks at it.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow stands up and walks over to the computer. He types away at a rapid pace, completely focused on his task. Darren walked over to Isabella, looking down at the maps she was examining. "He has been doing stuff like this for a while." Darren whispered, making sure Shadow cannot hear him. "He knows what he is doing."

 

[RavenMist]

"Cool, nice to know." She mutters, "I'm angry at him. Let me be angry." She adds softly, "I do angry well apparently." She mumbles crossing her legs and looking at the map, she sighs before pausing and her eyes widening, "You let Nathan in the house, he's handcuffed to the railing." She murmurs, standing up, "We need to go and get him." She says loudly, "I need to get him." She states.

 

[Hellfire]

Darren curses under his breath, remebering. "I can get him." He says quickly. "It's my fault that he is there anyway." He said, attempting to defuse any argument. "Besides, you are the future ruler, we can't have you getting hurt any more than you already are." He nodded to her hand. "That still needs a little more time to heal."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods slowly after a moment, "My hand was my fault, I can look after myself," she murmurs, remaining sat down, "You're only here because shadow asked you to be, don't pretend to care." She sighs lightly, "Be careful." She murmurs softly, looking around slowly. She glances at Shadow now and then at Darren, "

 

[Hellfire]

"If he dies it's my fault, even if he was annoying no one deserves to die." He was mildly hurt by her comment about not caring. He nodded his head and disappeared down the passage way the had come from.


"A guild is heading this way, it will be a good fight." Shadow said after darren left.

 

[RavenMist]

"Nothing is a good fight." She murmurs softly, "It's just that's all anyone ever does. It's unavoidable sadly." She murmurs, she stares away for a moment before closing her eyes. She was remembering the last time she was in the room and she hates thoughts, a pained expression covering her face.

 

[Hellfire]

"It's human nature." He commented, turning to look at her. He noticed her expression. He frowned, wondering if it was something he had said. "Are you alright Isabella?" He asked.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella's eye open instantly, "I spent a long forgetting the happenings of this room." She murmurs softly, "It's hard to not remember when you're stuck in the place you wished out of all of them didn't exist." She says softly.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow looked around the room. "Sorry that I have forced you to remeber bad things." He said quietly. "We should be able to get out of here once Darren gets back."

 

[RavenMist]

"It wasn't all bad I suppose, my life was saved in this room, but another was taken." She murmurs, "I can deal with it, no one ever really grieved her death, it's like they didn't even remember her." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

"Who was she?" He asked. "That is, if you are willing to tell me." He didn't want to upset her or make her remember dark times in her past. He was surprised to hear Isabella knew someone had died in the room.
