Medieval Times Add-on Story!!!

[Apelila]

Emily was watching confused, as they all walked away leaving Alex behind she turned to Oridea and asked "How in the world does every body know everyone, but I do not?"
----
All i can think of do not know what you guys are planning

 

[Blessed-one]

i'm at a lost as to the relationship between Diamond, Jack and Alex! hehe
----
Oridea shrugged, "I don't know either," she said.

----
Carwain and Ivan emerged from the Aliqua inn's celler. The owner pretended not to see them as they slipped out to the common room and onto the street, cool air rushing past their faces.
"Good to be out again," Ivan commented.
"Yeah," Carwain grinned. The two of them were walking a little way away from the inn quickly when Ivan spotted the others ahead.
----
gotta run!

 

[Boy Wonder]

Blessed-one, Alex got Diamond to steal from the store so that Fern could stay, and then He was trying to get Her out, but Jack found Him and said He would get Diamond out...

Better?

 

[oncewaslost]

ah, dang it. my computer messed up and deleted a whole post.

 

[Boy Wonder]

See? Mine did that too!

 

[oncewaslost]

Diamond saw Ivan and Carwain approaching them and tugged at Jack's arm pulling his attention away from Alex. Jack nodded, "I see that they're back. We can go now."

Jack turned and started walking off. Diamond followed but then heard Ivan call to her, "Wait, Diamond."

Diamond and Jack stopped. She noticed the others waiting at a polite distance, "What is it, Ivan?"

Ivan looked at Jack, "Can I talk to Diamond... alone?"

Jack frowned but walked a little distance away to wait for her. Diamond felt so tired she could hardly stand, "What's bothering you?"

Ivan hesitated, "I can't stay here any longer. I'm a fugitive."

Diamond blinked, "Why? Oh... that... Ivan no one knows but you and me."

"Sir Gerad thinks he knows and the wrong words in the right ear might mean the hangman's noose for me."

"But it's not true... what's this got to do with me?"

Ivan glanced towards Jack, "You're a fugitive now as much as I am. Just because you're not in prison any more doesn't mean you are free. Not while you are in this town. You wouldn't be that hard to find. After all, how many young women are there that have different colored eyes?"

Diamond gasped her hand going to her throat. It was death to all those who escaped prison. Jack appeared at her side in an instant looking at her worriedly, "Is something wrong?"

Ivan looked at Jack grimly, "I suggest you get her out of here as soon as possible. As long as she's here you're both in danger."

Jack frowned as Ivan turned and walked off. Diamond looked up at Jack tears in her eyes What have I done? I've just pulled Jack to his death... "I'm so sorry, Jack."

~~~~~~~~~~
there, that's something like what i had before.

 

[Grimr]

Jack agreed with Ivan although he didn't admit it. Well atleast I have enough money to buy a wagon and oxen from the stables and supplies. Jack heard footsteps behind him he knew it was Dimond. So whats the plan? she asked. Simple we move to another city probubly in Scotland. That far? I'm afraid so either that or do the hangmans jig and I don't want you to suffer that.

 

[Blessed-one]

ok, got it Boys Wonder.
----
"Your dad's worried sick about you," Oridea said to Emily.
Emily nodded sadly, "Poor dad. Just let me say bye to John first."

Carwain was listening to the conversation with half an eye opened, "Say what, you guys wanna hole up at my place for a while?" he suggested cheerfully to the three (Jack, Diamond and Ivan), they looked up so suddenly that Carwain's smile died on his face. He shook his head, "I don't know what you guys've been up to, but i know your look."
Oridea stood quietly aside.
----
ok, i suppose Apelila can "interrogate" Ivan? (joking!)

 

[Apelila]

John I leave it up to you. I do not even know what you did

 

[called]

lol, ok, i'll post later when i have more time.

 

[Boy Wonder]

Noooooooo!

 

[called]

Ivan frowned at Carwain. He had evidentally been eaves dropping, "Is it safe?"

Carwain looked insulted, "Of course it's safe! I don't live where it's not safe."

Ivan glanced at Diamond and Jack then at Emily, Oridea, and Alex before looking back at Carwain. He was thinking things through. I need a place to stay and I need a horse before I can go anywhere. Emily looks like she wants to ask questions. "Sure I could use a place to stay right now. Before I do anything else I want some sleep."

~~~~~~~~
well, time to spend some time with grandpa!

 

[Blessed-one]

Oridea glanced at Emily who was apparently wanting to say something to Ivan but couldn't as Ivan was talking with Diamond and Jack. When Ivan agreed to take up Carwain's offer, she tapped Emily lightly on the arm.
"I'll go tell your dad that you're staying at my place for awhile," she said.
Emily looked grateful, "Thanks," she whispered, taking Oridea's hand.
Carwain nodded to Oridea, "So you're coming afterwards?" he asked.
She shook her head, "It's too much excitement for me in a day, I'll meet up with you tomorrow."

----
"John.." Emily said tentatively.
Ivan put an arm around her shoulder comfortingly, his mind churning with thoughts and emotions. *How am I going to break the news to Emily?* he thought as they followed Carwain down the road.

It turned out their hiding place was the intelligence network office in the more opulant part of the city, Jack stared at Carwain, "This's your idea of a safe place?" he shook his head disbelievingly, "Knowing you, I should've known."
"There're some other places in the dark sector where we can stay, but since we just escaped from there, Gerad probably has his men turning the place upside down." Carwain explained as the group entered the "office" through the stable.
No one gave them any attention with Carwain scowling along, in fact, people seemed to be avoiding them. They mounted the stairs to the second level of the building where the guest quarters were housed.

 

[Boy Wonder]

Alex walked to his house, and sleep well


[Well! What else can I post?! LoL]

**morning**

Diamond rose from her small straw pallet Carwain had given her, going to peer out the window. Soldiers roamed the street stopping people and asking questions she couldn't hear from the window. Man, we have caused a lot of trouble. Didn't Ivan say something about a ball today? Whatever the soldiers were asking most people were shaking their heads and hurrying away. Jack touched her arm and she jumped in surprise. Jack grinned apologetically, "Sorry. How are you feeling?"

Diamond relaxed, "Much better."

Diamond brushed a hand through her short brown hair moving away from the window. Jack leaned against the wall watching her. The others were seated at the far end of the room huddled closely together. Jack folded his arms, "We've got to talk, Rebekah."

Diamond blinked. Rebekah? When did he decide he was going to call me Rebekah? Talk... talk about what? "I'm here."

 

[Boy Wonder]

**Morning**

Alex was heading to Fern's shop to talk to her about the ball that night, when some guards stopped him.
"Have you seen two thieves, a boy and a girl?"
"I've seen lot's of boy and girl thieves!"
"They run around together."
'Diamond and Jack!' Alex thought.
"No, don't think I have."
"Okay, thank you."
Alex ran as fast as he could to Fern's shop.

 

[Grimr]

Ok how do I say this Jack said to himself. Ok Rebekah when I took you in to live with me I considered you as my family well now that we've lived with each other for so long I've relized that I have more feelings for you than I let on. Truth be told I'm in love you.

 

[oncewaslost]

Diamond blinked, shocked speechless. Did he just....? No, it must just be my imagination. He can't possibly love me. Not after I- "I've been too much trouble, Jack. What could possibly make you love me?"

 

[Grimr]

You think I haven't been caught before Jack said smiling here look at this. Jack rolled back his right sleeve and showed his arm. Diamond looked at the arm she could see a deep black tattoo with a mark of a lion's head and a sword. That’s the mark of the Prison Fortress in Bristol I was imprisoned there a few years before we met I was caught stealing but since I was so young the Judges gave me a two year sentence and had me branded. So don't think i'm a great thief it just means i'm more cautious some times. But I love you more than life itself. With that Jack leaned his head down and kissed diamond on the check.

 

[oncewaslost]

ah, darn. i don't have time to post going out of town.
