Emily went to a corner and sat down, she continued looking at John, she knew that something was wrong, he was keeping something from her and she had no idea what it could be. She decided to ask him again, so she slowly pushed herself up and walked over to where he was walking back and forth across the cell. "John, are you sure that there is nothing wrong. You look troubled about something. Do you want to tell me what is on your mind?"

It was nearing dusk. Fern hurried through the streets followed closely by Alex. She entered her father's shop calling, "Father! Father!"

"I'm here, daughter. Is there a problem?"

Fern shook her head, "Not exactly, where's Ivan?"

Father looked around, "I haven't seen him all day. Last I saw him was when he went out on the streets searching for someone. He'd said he'd be right back."

Fern gasped spinning to Alex, "You don't suppose he's...?"

Before Alex could say a word she ran out the door. Alex blinked and Father frowned after her, "That girl's going to get herself in trouble."

 

[Boy Wonder]

"I'll try to find her, sir" Alex shouted running out the door into the street.
"Fern!" Alex called.
"Where are you Fern?" He shouted again.
After walking the streets a little bit he saw Fern walking into a house.
Right when he almost got caught up to Fern when he was grabbed from behind.
"Where do you think your going?"
"In that house" Alex said nodding to the house.
"No you don't" The man said.
"Why not?" Alex asked angrily.
"Because we can't let anyone in there,” The guy said and as Alex twisted his head saw two, and saw they where some kind of guard.
"Okay" Alex said dusting off his pants and walking off.
Just then he turned and dashed down an ally, jumped a fence, and was out side the door of the house, he ran into the house and then bumped into Fern by accident.
"Alex!" Fern said.
"We need to get out of here"
Just then Alex heard the guards coming in the house.

 

[called]

grrr... now i've gotta come up with something. this may take a while.

 

[called]

"We need to get out of here now."

Fern blinked, "Why?"

Alex took her arm and began pulling her towards the door. Suddenly, the guards entered the room.

"There he is!" one shouted pointing at Alex.

"We told you not to come in here, boy."

Alex shoved open the door pushing Fern out, "Run!"

Fern and Alex took off out the door running as fast as their legs could carry them. One of the guards uttered a vile curse, "Get them! Careful with the girl."

Fern felt a stitch in her side. She was breathing hard. She glanced behind her and saw Alex close on her heels followed not far behind by the guards. Dresses are definately not made for running in. What is with these guards?

"Got ya!"

She heard Alex stop and she kept running. Something tripped her and she tumbled to the ground. She scrambled to her feet and suddenly a hand clamped down on her arm, "You're not going anywhere."

She guard swung her around. She screamed, kicking and biting. She wasn't going down with out a fight and she was giving all she had.

 

[Boy Wonder]

"What are you going to do with us?" Alex asked.
"I don't know" The guard said.
"Okay, what are we going to do while we wait for you guys to deside?"
"Um, I guess we can free you."
"Wait" the other guard said.
"What?" The 1st asked.

_______
Can't think... :o

"We can't just let them go."


"Why not?" the guard demanded.

The other guard frowned, "Because... because they were breaking and entering. They're thieves."

"Thieves!" Alex bellowed, outraged. "Why would I be a thief?!"

The guards glared at him, "He's got a point."

"Well, we're not thieves so how would we know how the mind of a thief works? Well, we can always lock them in the basement until we figure out what to do with them."

Fern's eyes widened, "No!"

She struggled more violently against the guard's firm grip. I hate rats! She screamed and the guard's hand tightened painfully on her arm. Suddenly, there was a deep voice, "Is there a problem, gentlemen?"

Everyone froze.

~~~~~~~~
well, that's the best i could do.

 

[Blessed-one]

The second guard dropped the same instant as Carwain let his victim fall. They eased the two unconscious forms onto the ground with care.
"You didn't seems to have lost your touch afterall," Carwain noted.
Oridea replied with a smile, "I wouldn't give you the chance to make a fool out of me."
"Would I?" he answered with widened eyes.
----
It was getting colder as they ventured deeper into the underground dungeon. The light of the torches around hanging on the wall seemed to flicker, yet there was no wind. Moans and cries echoed up to their ears, and occasionally, a wail cut through the air as if announcing their perpetual doom.
"Emily!" Oridea called tentatively. "Emily! Ivan!"
"We don't have much time, gotta be quick."
----
ok, gotta wait for John's reply to Apelila's post?

 

[Boy Wonder]

Wait... What just happoned?

Hey. I know it’s a little late, but would it be alright if I joined? If you don’t, here’s my character. If you do, just forget I was here
----------
Name: Lora Boulay
Age: 20
Appearance: Lora has strait, platinum blonde hair that reaches her lower back, and is usually gathered up in a twist at the nape of her neck. She has bright blue eyes, and a nice smile. Lora is slender, and around 5’8”. Her skin is a light shade of brown, due to always being outside. Though pretty, she often is disheveled because she spends a lot of time running around outdoors.
Disposition: Sweet and shy. She’s kind, but often very quiet around people she doesn’t know. Once she gets to know them, she’s outgoing. She’s a Christian, but her parents bother her about it, so she pretends not to.
Wealth: Rich
History: Lora’s parents have always been poor. She grew up on the streets, picking pockets and such, but befriended an old woman who worked at the castle. The old woman taught Lora how to play the harp, and then took her to the castle to introduce her to the king. Ever since, she’s been playing there at banquets, or whenever she’s needed. With that money, she bought her family a new home. Though she’s rich now, she doesn’t look down on poor people in the least, and often makes friends with them.

I would post something, but I need to go. If you don’t mind me joining, I’ll post something when I get home.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! NEW PERSON!!!!!!!!!

LoL I'm hyper today and it's raining... So, I'm taking out my hypernis out on the board

 

[Apelila]

Called are you going to post?

 

[Blondie_123]

Lora peeked around the corner of her bedroom door. Please Lord, let momma be sleeping, she prayed silently. Holding her shoes in one hand, her cloak in the other, she tiptoed down the marble-clad hallway, and down the back stairs. Sinking down into a wooden chair around the table, she looked up as her dad walked in. “Here’s the bow and arrow. They came just yesterday. Good luck.” He smiled, set them on the table, and hurried back upstairs.
Lora smiled and pulled on her shoes and cloak. Grabbing the archery equipment that sat in front of her, she hurried out the door and down the dusty road towards the tournament. Walking along, she hummed quietly to herself, wondering how the day would unfold. A girl in the tournament was a very rare occurrence. Still, she wasn’t going to let that stop her. Stepping onto the fair grounds, a small smile lit Lora’s face. Pulling the hood of her cloak up, she marched to the table set up at the entrance.
“I’d like to enter the contest,” she said in a deep voice. “Name?” the man asked. “Sir Gwydon Ephret.” The man handed her a paper which she signed, then nodded towards a set of targets. “Firs’ round’s jist startin’, sir. Best be goin’.” Lora nodded and hurried to join the leagues of men lined up, ready to shoot. She stood at the end of the line, bow taut, arrow ready. When the horn blew, signaling them to begin, Lora’s arrow flew strait and true, hitting the bulls-eye dead on. The crowd cheered as Lora drew back her hood and shook out her long hair, making everyone gasp. She grinned up at them, then turned and marched happily towards the jail to tell her father how it had gone.

“I do not see why you only shoot for the first round and then leave,” Lora’s father complained, sitting at his desk, staring up at her. “Because I don’t feel much like spending a whole day shooting arrows at targets. It gets boring,” Lora replied with a grin. “Why do you work here, father? Is that any different? Being a guard at a local prison must get boring.” “Naw. They’re always bringing in someone new for pick pocketing or not paying taxes.” “Like I said, boring,” Lora said. “Well, they brought in a young girl and some boy this morning. You like talking with the prisoners; Why don’t you go talk to them?” he suggested, obviously wanting to get back to his work. Shrugging, Lora closed the door behind her and walked down the stairs to where the newest people emitted to the jail were kept. Sure enough, a young girl was there, tied and bound, and a young man who looked rather pained. Disgusted, Lora turned to a nearby guard. “Johan, what is this? We do not beat people in this prison. Is that understood? We do not tie them up, and we do not beat them. Is that clear?” She glared at him. “Yes, ma’am. It wasn’t I do done gone and hit him. Was the head guard.” “Well, I’ll see about him later. What have they done?” “Nothing that I know of, ma’am.” “Give me your keys,” Lora ordered. “But Miss Lora--” “Johan, my father owns this jail. Now give me the keys, please.” She held out her hand and waited. Finally the young guard begrudgingly handed them over and Lora turned back to the cell behind her. “What are your names?” she asked. “I’m John. This is Emily,” the man said. Lora opened the door and untied Emily, and helped her to her feet. She smiled down at the younger girl and gave her a small hug before turning to the man who said his name was John. Gently, she checked his bruised ribs. Turning to glare at Johan, she said, “Come on. You haven’t done anything, and don’t need to be here. I’ll see to it that someone gets in trouble for this. You can go home.” And before Johan could say anything she added, “And if anyone tries to stop me, he’ll be in big trouble as well,” giving the guard a pointed look.
Ushering them up the stairs she asked, “And why did they put you here?” The girl said, “They said my father owed them money.” “Bah. Then they should go and collect the money. Not kidnap his daughter and friend and put them in jail,” Lora said, disgusted. “Have a safe trip home,” she smiled, opening the door for them.
After she was sure they’d gone, she closed the door and hurried up to her father’s office to see to it that Sir Gerad was put in jail himself.

Apelila, was that alright? If you don’t like it, I’ll erase it for you. Just came to mind, is all. Sorry if I messed up anything. Like I said, if you want me to change it, I’ll be happy to

I've postponed the rescue so called can answer Apelila's post (where Emily was asking Ivan what was wrong)

Ivan heard Oridea's voice and saw Emily perk up. She looked at him uncertainly like she thought she was hearing things. Ivan straightened, "I heard it too."

Emily jumped up calling, "Oridea! In here."

"Shhhh... we're coming," the voice said quietly.

Ivan glanced around the cell for something useful. He heard soft footsteps outside the door and approached it, "How good are you at picking locks?"

A male's soft laugh was heard, "Well enough I suppose. It takes me a couple minutes but I'm able to."

The lock rattled and in two minutes the door was open. Oridea greeted Emily with a hug and Ivan looked at her compainion. He smiled, "Hi, name's Carwain."

Ivan hesitated, "John."

Carwain took Ivan's hand shaking it firmly, "Nice to meet you, John. Now, let's get out of here before the guards wake up."

Ivan nodded in agreement and taking Emily's hand followed Carwain and Oridea.

"Dad!" Alex exclaimed.

Fern jumped looking up at the man in surprise. The guards blinked looking at each other uncertainly.

~~~~~~~~
um.... we still need Carwain's bio. hey blondie! thanks for joining!

 

[oncewaslost]

hello blondie! glad you decided to join. as soon as blessed-one posts carwain's bio (or says she's not going to post carwain's bio) i'll compile a list of who all is in this add-on (characters and all) so that we'll know exactly who's who and with which characters.

i've done it once before so here's the list list of characters. granted, there are some new additions that i'm about to add to that list instead of posting a new one.
