Under the Shadow of The Old Oak Tree (Rp)

Elles breathing was irregular she was sobbing and in a great amount of pain blood rushed frim her back to the floor and as she was carried to the elivator the couple was ment to leave in everyone craned their necks too see what had happened. Her vission got blury and she was shakking with sobbs. she was muttering to herself in pain "why me why me pain too much pain" this worried the guards and they rushed her to the hospital. The nurses ran around into she was changed into a gown and her back stitcked up she was given meds for the pain and blood transfusion.
 
the sword fight in Damian's room was still 50-50, this Assassin was trained and experienced, but he was getting tired, Damian was pushing him.


"you've gotten good, boy!"


"i didn't get to lead an enclave of exiles with just a nice smile and nice words!"


Damian stepped forward, forcing the assassin back, their blades clashing again and again with increacing ferocity until, finally Damian got what he was looking for, he bought his blade back and slammed it into the assassin's hand, cutting the Assassin's hand open and sending his blade spinning across the floor, damian followed this up with several more slices across his chest, finally ending it with a deap slice through the Assassin's thigh, sending him to the floor, he looked up, Damian's blade in his face, the assassin didn't grunt or scream once.


"... finish it..." he demanded, looking Damian in the eye


"no... GUARDS!"


some guards came through the door, to find Damian's room a mess, with Damian holding his assassin at bladepoint, both were covered in wounds, but the assassin's were worse.


"get him to a doctor... make sure he's bound, then get his ass to the dungeon, whats the status of Elle?"


"hurt but alive sir, she was also attacked"


Damian gritted his teeth


"damnit... this was a very well planned attack, where is she?"


"this way milord"


the guard lead Damian to where Elle was, well, almsot, he saw another group, with the second assassin trying to wrestle with michahael, Damian forced his way through the crowd, his blade drawn, he pushed Damian away from the assassin and thrust his own blade through the assassin's shoulder, pinning him to the ground "you're partner is dead, stop struggling or i'll force this hole wider with my blade... you're going to tell me everything i want to know..."
 
"Thank you Jayson." she said, slightly sinister. I'll ask Jonah what really happened with Mick. she smirked to herself, stuffing the key in her pocket. "I've gotta go somewhere!" she said, acting and kissing Jayson on the cheek. I've gotta question Prince Jonah, she grinned, jogging off. She had to find out why Mick was there this morning, for his own safety.
 
The assasian smirked and said laughing "you wanna know what i did to to your precious princess? i broke a rib gave her a black eye and while she was screaming and the guards watching i carved the symbol of the ashamed into her back she was writhing in pain and crying she will be damaged for ages" he smirked and glared at Michahael and said "untill that brat but in at least i got in a punch befire the guards got me"
 
Damian glared down at the assassin, a guard came up, his blade at the ready


"no... don't kill him... we won't let him off that easy... take him to the depths of the dungeon... the one infested with millions of rats and dangle him there with his feet just on the floor... naked, and covered in... peanut butter..."


Damien grinned and laughed a bit "funny huh? naked with peanut butter... you see, rats LOVE peanut butter, and they dont lick it off the skin, they bite, and they'll keep eating into you long after the peanut butter is gone..."


Damien leaned down "and i'll give you 2 choices... either spill the beans on everything and i'll have you pulled out of there, or we'll let them eat your legs, then we'll brand you with the mark of shame... with a red-hot iron... in public... then we'll dump you to be eaten alive by those rats back in the room..." he stood up straight and nodded to the guards, who promptly grabbed the assassin by the arms and legs, pulled Damien's blade out and hauled him off.


"... wait, what?... hey hold on, wait! wait a min- HEY! PLEASE DONT! KILL ME! JUST KILL MEEEEEeeee!"


Damien ran after where they were taking Elle, he soon caught up to her "Elle, how bad is it!?"
 
Michahael sat in the hallway, not caring that the assassin was speaking to him. He was waiting for someone to actually bother with him. It didn't seem they were going to though so he got up, shoved his hands into his pockets and walked back towards the place he had left Jayson at. He could feel his eye beginning to swell and wondered if the bruise was beginning to show. He felt the stickyness of Elle's blood one his hands and the shirt stuck to his skin where the blood had rubbed onto it. He sighed. he'd have a hard time explaining this one to his brother. Jayson looked up at Michahael as he entered, his eyes widening at the sight of him.


'What the hell happened to you?' He demanded to know. Michahael shrugged nonchalantly.


'I was just walking, and overheard an assassination plan, went to warn Elle, caused her to get cut up and then tackled her attacker and got a black eye.' He shrugged again, not even sounding affected by it in any way, shape or form. He continued on to say, 'And now my eye hurts and I have the strangest urge for cookies.' He paused a moment. 'I think i might be pregnant.' Jayson raised an eyebrow at him.


'What the hell are you on Mick?' Michahael shrugged. He honestly didn't have anything wrong with him. he was just sick of the drama.


'Leave me alone, I'm full of maternal hormones.'
 
Elle was laying on the bed in the hospital on her stomach the huge scar on her back in veiw, she saw Damien and smiled weakly tears still streaming down her face her body was shaken with a sob every noe and then "h-horrible ii" she felt so bad in pain and just wanted it to go away. she was hugging the pillow infront of her tightly and it was stained with her tears. Elle hat tubes sticking in her arm and was given needles everyknow and then in which she hated the whole bug fuss scares her and she wanted it to end sh wanted all these people to go away.
 
Damien put a hand on her shoulder, he looked up at the doctor "I hope you've given her something for the pain" "of course sir, but if we give her enough to not feel any pain, then it'll be too much..." "i understand"


he sat in a chair in front of Elle, he leant down and put his forehead against hers "Its over now... this will never happen again, i promise"
 
Judith was about to go into the castle when she was sudenly grabed by gaurds "sorry miss but you can't go in their" one of the gaurds said she looked at them with a puzzled face, "why can't I go in?" she asked. It was all happeing again, her getting captured by the gaurds and taken to the court and everyone looking as she kicked and struggled as the gaurds took her away but this time she hadn't done any thing she had olny tried to see if she could watch the wedding because she had nothing eles to do and know she was being dragged out for no reason at all.


The gaurds droped her after they were well away from the centre of the tree, everone was watching she knew it, evey men, woman and child had know stopped whatever they were doing and were looking at her, again.


The gaurds didn't usually just grab people ad asked them questions where it could be heard and seen by all and when they did it was definatly about something big. They surronded her and started to question her "have you been banished?" on of them asked "yes I have" she awnsered as she wondered why they couldn't do this in the court "do you have a pardon and what were you banished for?" another one asked as she tried to get up but was only pushed back down "I do have a pardon and ...." she hesitated to answer the question ".. I tried to kill the prince" she finally awnsered she heard gasps and whispers come from the people watching but the gaurds acted like they weren't even their. "do you know Miss Elle Hopkins?" the one that had pused her down asked "I don't know and why are you even asking me this!" shee shouted at them feeling offended "someone just tried to kill her and we're just doing our job miss" another awnsered "wait" she said trying to get to her feet "someone just tried to kill the person that's getting married to the prince and you think it was me! I havent gone in the castle and you viciously dragg and carry me away!" she shouted at them as she poited to the castle, sure she wasn't the kindest person and she could kill, but anyone coud as long as they had the courage and she wouldn't try to kill anyone, she'd learn her lesson even if she learnd it the hard way but still it wouldn't stop her.


Danni ran through the corridors, she had been talking to the king about making sure everything went acording to plam, but that wasn't going to happen today, as soon as she was told miss Hopkins was nearly assasinated she made a bolt for the room she heard she was getting ready in by the time she got there it seemed like the gaurds had taken care of everything, she saw the prince leave top go to the aid of his bride, she looked at another gaurd that had been behind her "take him to the dungon" she said to him, he picked up the man that looked half dead and carried him down the hallway. She felt sick and wanted to leave the castle imediatly but she knew the hole place would be on lockbown so she decided to make herself useful and went to look for Prince Jonah and on her way ran into the woman she saw just the day before with the boy that kissed the prince "I'm sorry mam but where are you going?" she asked her.


Cupcake walked around the castle, she had bben tld to stop anyone in the castle from leaving or coming in of course she didn't had to do it by herself but it felt like it. There was suposse to be a wedding today for the prince and his bride but she'd almost been assasinated and most of the gaurds had been called to work and maily because it was such a huge occasion, to day had been her day off and to be honest she was looking foward to playing with her yarn and visiting her sister but now thoses things she loved to do would be on hold. She walked around to the place where the wedding was suppose to be heald "wow" she said as she looked up at the high ceeling and the nicly and eleglantly decorated room, she walked int another where the guest and those who had wanted to she the outcomes of the wedding waited, there were alreadly gaurds keeping everyone calm and quite and they were telling the people about the incident with the bride she was about to leave when she noticed a man with blood on his hands and some one his shirt as well, he might not have been but he looked like a suspect, she started to make her way to him slowly through the crowd when she got him she poited at him and said "come with me" with no emotion in her voice, she turned and stared walking out of the room and hoped the boy was following her caude if he wasn't she was going to drag him out weather he liked it or not.
 
Elle smiled slightly dispite all of her pain, she listened to his voice only being able to make out some of the words, but she got she just of what he said and she felt a little happier but not much. she looked into her eyes with her own watery golden brown ones. she winced as the nurse wraped her in a bandage and she reached out her hands and grabbed his, as another form of comfort. Elle was gratefull that he had come to see her sge needed someone to comfort her and delilah couldnt bring hailie near her while she was like that "t-thankyou" she ztuttered out through the pain
 
"Its going to be okay..." he said, holding her hand tightly, he sat down next to her.


"Doctor... am i in the way here?"


"when you're in the way we'll let you know Prince Damien"


"okay, thanks..."


he turned back to Elle, sighing "well, at least he didn't seem to have hit anything Vital..."
 
Michahael looked up in surprise as a woman with nutmeg coloured skin gestured for him to follow her. He shot a glance at Jayson, frowning slightly.


'Do you know her?' Jayson asked. Michahael shrugged, wiping the blood onto the jeans to rid himself of it. 'Not that I know of.' Jayson frowned. 'I think you'd ought to go with her.' He said in a quiet voice. Michahael nodded. 'I'll be back soon.' He said, hurrying after the woman. He caught up quickly, frowning.


'Wait up would ya? I'm kind of exhausted here.' He said in a slightly fatigued tone. 'I just fought some crazy lunatic after all.'
 
Elle closed her eyes at his statement she just couldnt keep them open at all not with exaustion shed had a lot if sleep it was with sorrow she did this was twice hed seen her cry and no one else had ever. the docter finished and drew the cirtains and said "if she needs anything or if you want to stayovernight just ask she will be fine dont let her sleep for a couple of hours she has a concussion." she squeazed his hand and was glad all tbose people left. she opened her eyes again enjoying the comfotable scilence she started into his and sat up slowly wicing a little she leaned agains th pilloelw the anesthetic setting in and making it number but a sting she patted she bed beside her and said "sit, i need somthing to do if i cant sleep" in a slughtly calmer tone
 
Damien moved from his chair and got where she patted.


"I have no idea how this happened... but... there's one thing... Elle, those assassins... the one who tried to kill me, he was the same that did the frame-job before my exile... whoever framed me the last time was behind this... of course a lot of people are against our marriage... but i promise you, nothing like this will ever happen again"


he sighed "I'm so sorry..."
 
Elle listened to his words and felt a mix of emotions, anger, they frame him once and then go and try to kill him? Hate who ever did this to them ahh!! and thoughtfullness, why didnt they wantvthem married, because she was a commoner? because they wanted their daughter to be a princess. she put her head on his sholder as a hug type thing and said "This isnt your fault i mean . . . if you could uave stopped it you would have its not your fault sone people are crazy" she assured his
 
"no it is my fault... I should have actually tightened security, not just had more guards on duty..."


he sighed "i guess all we can do is look on the bright side..." he was silent for a minute, trying to think of a lighter side of this.. "well... at least now we're not being rushed in to tying the knot, thts something..."
 
Elle giggled and at his long pause and agreed "Im glad we dont have to rush it . . ." she said and fixed him with a stern look "it isnt yout fault, no one would have thought of it the guards did noting while it happened" she said growling a little "and if i ay, can i yell at them later?" she asked hopefully. ghere was many more guards that the man and couldoverpower him like mick did easily but no the stand there! she breathed in and out to calm fown and said "but it isnt your fault"
 
Tamotsu looked over her shoulder, peering out to see if the boy was coming. Speaking to her in a calm tone he asked, "Do you have anyone else you could go with? Like a friend or something?" He'd go with if he didn't have other things that he had to take care of. The peformance was the least of his worries, he just had to find a song to play. His Gang however had brought news of a rival Gangs challange. If he didn't figure something out soon there'd be a War. Hearing her voice he withdrew from his thoughts and focused on her.
 
Isis shook her head. 'No, it's fine. I'll refuse to go. They can't make me, even if they wanted to. They know that but they like to pretend that they don't.' She shrugged, flashing him a smile. 'It's all good. I didn't mean to waste any more of your time. I'm sorry.' She apologised and began to walk away. Before she did, she turned back.


'I hope you enjoy your candy.' She said with a friendly wave.
 
Damian raised his head "what!?... they didn't do anything?... not even try and get behind him? nothing!?"


he got angry, clenching his fist "dumbasses, they'll all get hell from me after this... what do you reckon? less sleeping and brake time? or just have each of them, in groups of about 20 of course at a time, do degrading and exhausting jobs for a couple days?"


he smiled a bit then his mind came back to those assassins "those hired blades... the one who came after me is a professional, he won't crack, but that other, the one that went after you... yeah i dont think he's been captured before, i think he'll spill the beans"


Damian was eager for the replies, to know who set him up all that time ago, and to make an example of them
 
Elle admitedly was scared of damiencwhen he got like that but she hid it well, still mot taking her head of his sholder and not tensing up "nothing the stood there in shock Mickahael, a family friend tackled the guys THEN they started to help." she said and then she said again "but cal I yell at them?" she then thought about his next statment and paused for a second "I hope so let me know why will you?" she asked
 
Jonah was dumbstruck at how fast these events had occurred. He had just arrived in the front row like his brother wanted when the hired blades appeared and he watched in horror as the symbol was carved into his ,will be" sister in law. Of course it caused a major uproar and Jonah knew he had to get out of the area as guards responded to the scene to help Michael one of them escorting Jonah through the castle to ensure his safety. He was taken into a safe room as per his fathers instructions until all this was down with. After the next 25 minutes or more Jonah had finally been given the okay to leave as he rushed out of the room and began looking to see which medical area they were keeping Elle in.
 
When the woman didn't reply Michahael sighed. Screw this, he thought, I'm not wasting my time here. He gave her a wave and walked away. 'Come find me when you have something interesting to talk about.' He said casually and walked off to find a bathroom or something where he could get cleaned up. After ten minutes of searching, He found one. he washed his hands in the basin, scrubbing the blood off compulsively. He couldn't stand the feeling it gave off as it crusted over his skin. It was so wrong. Mainly because it was someone else's blood. He took off his shirt, wetting paper towel and scrubbing at the blood on the fabric, frowning as it washed away as a brown, flakey substance. After this was done he sponged the blood off of his torso where it had pressed through the material and then frowned. The shirt was now too wet to wear. Sighing he balled it up and threw it in the bin. It was ruined anyway.


As he left the bathroom and was walking along the corridor, he spotted Jonah. I should apologise.. He thought with a sudden jolt and he bolted towards the end of the corridor, grabbing hold of the prince as he passed by, forgetting about his shirtless-ness. He put a hand over his mouth and tugged him into the dark corridor, an arm around his waist. He lightly held him against the wall, not thinking about how this might scare him. 'Please don't call out.. I wanted to apologise.' He said in a quiet whisper, looking around for any sign of witnesses.
 
Jonah was still searching when he was about to call out fearing an assassination. When he finally was released feeling violated with the arm around his waist he heard what the boy that looked extremely familiar but then shuddered when he saw he was shirtless. "Don't kill me" he said terrified looking up at the boy as he instinctively slide down a little.
 
Michahael stared in surprise. 'What? I'm not going to kill you! What do you think I am? Insane?' he exclaimed, and then lowered his voice hastily. Raising it wasn't going to help his situation any. He held him a little tighter, not sure how to go about it. 'I just wanted to say sorry.. for earlier..' he hesitated, wondering if he even knew what he was talking about. It didn't occur to him that his words might make the prince think he was another assassin.
