Royal Shadow

[Hellfire]

" In a way I have brainwashed you, although I consider it more like opening your eyes." Shadow said, chuckling. "I guess all you have to do is act like nothing has changed."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods, "I'll try my best." She murmurs lightly, sitting down. She closes her eyes now, taking a deep breath. Everything was hitting her all at once emotionally, the fact her father could end up dead if they didn't succeed.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow kneels down beside her and sets his hand on his shoulder to comfort her. "You have made it this far, you just need one last burst of speed to finish the race." He said quietly. "I have your back and I'll make sure nothing bad happens."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods slowly taking a deep breath, "I know," she murmurs quietly, opening her eyes but not bothering to look at him. She finally looks at him after letting out a sigh, "I'm sorry. That you had to live like this. That everyone had to put up with this."

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow took of his mask, setting it down beside him. He looked at Isabella with a small smile on his face. He sat down and leaned forward so that their faces were only a few inches apart. "You didn't cause people to live like that, and besides if my life had been different we probably would not have met. Of course, kidnaping is not the best way to meet, but I am still glad that I met you."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods lightly, "Glad glad we met. I'm glad I got to see how bad it really is." She murmurs quietly, looking at him properly as he takes the mask off. She takes a small breath, "I'm glad to be able to help." She murmurs softly.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow laughes, he smiles brightly. "It is nice to be able to trust someone." He whispers before he leans forward and kisses Isabella softly.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella smiles lightly at his words, shocked though as he kisses her lightly. She hesitates as his lips touch her, her eyes stay open, staring at him, before returning the kiss, her hand resting lightly against his cheek.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. He pulls apart from her and rubs his nose against her's affectionately. "You are beautiful." He says, looking at her. "And you'll be better to the people than those before you. All a boy can ask for." He smiles at her.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella looks at him, smiling as he pulls her close, her arms wrapping round him. She smiles at him, "Thank you," she murmurs lightly, looking at him, "I won't lie, I didn't expect this." She murmurs lightly

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow laughs, shaking his head. "I would never have done something like that a while back," He confessed with a smile "but people do change." he sighed, closing his eyes as memories came to him. "It really has been a long time since I have trusted someone." He said wistfully as he opened his eyes and looked at her.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella looks at him, "You can trust me. Always." She says lightly, "I've changed, since meeting you. From all of this." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

"I have no doubt that I can trust you," He said, running the back Of his hand lightly down her cheek. "Or that you have changed. I am just glad that you showed compassion to the people of the slums."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella smiles back at him, "Well, it seems odd to be thanking you for kidnapping me still." She says with a light chuckle.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow laughs. "Not something that is expected," He agreed with her. "but I guess this isn't your normal kidnapping." He shakes his head. "It is just to bad it took a kidnapping for you to find out how the world is."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods at him, "Most people that'd kidnap me would treat me worse. Hurt me and stuff." She says lightly, looking at him, "I'm glad to have found out now. Because if I hadn't and my father stepped down, I'd be left with a bigger mess to clean up." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow nods before standing. "And you wouldn't have any connections in the slums to help you out." He smiled down at her, offering his hand to help her up. "Speaking of your father, we probably need to get some rest before tommorow."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods, taking his hand and standing carefully. She looks at him and then around again, picking the clothes up off the floor.

 

[Hellfire]

"I'll be back." He says before going outside. He comes back a moment later with sleeping bags. The looked like they had been well used. "I know they look bad, but they are better than nothing." He said apologetically. "I always keep a couple of them in case I have to bunker down somewhere for the night." He offered her on of them.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella takes it, scrunching her nose and then smiles, "It's fine. Better than freezing to death." She says, lightly. She looks at him now, she yawns slightly, covering her mouth. She places the dresses down where it wasn't so dirty.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow nodded. He sets his flat on the ground and laid down with his arms crossed behind his head. "They still hold out the cold pretty well considering." He said with a yawn himself.

 

[RavenMist]

She nods, laying hers out and lying on top of it. She takes out her cloak and pulls it over herself like a blanket, "Good night." She says lightly.

 

[Hellfire]

"Night." Shadow says before putting back on his mask. His breathing slows quickly as he goes to sleep. He wraps his cloak a little bit tighter around him before finally falling asleep.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella closes her eyes now, trying her best to sleep. It seemed impossible though, thoughts of her father fresh in her mind. She sighs softly, opening her eyes and staring above at the ceiling. She closes her eyes again and after awhile she falls asleep.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow woke, he keep his breathing the same as he attempted to rember what had woken him. Hearing nothing but the sound of breathing close by he sat up and opened his eyes. He quickly looked around the room, finding no immediate danger he stood up. He stretched, looking down at Isabella. He smiled then walked outside to check on the bike.
