"Arrest me for treason?" he scoffed, "Oh, you'd have a great time doing that"
"Arrest me for treason?" he scoffed, "Oh, you'd have a great time doing that"
The guard raised an eyebrow challengingly.
She could pretend to threaten his life….getting them both to safety…
He pulled down his hood, raising an eyebrow in return to the guard. He was recognisable from posters which had circulated only weeks before, with ashy grey-blonde hair and blue eyes, though one was lighter than the other.
The guards gaped in surprise but quickly composed himself "of course you'd help a think like a Fae. I'm getting two for the price of one."
She smiled, recognizing him emidiatly from the posters. this is going to be fun
"You can only understand a creature if you put yourself in their place. Now, unless you'd like a witch's curse on your hands.."
The guard backed away with a growl "You'll regret even being alive." he turned away with his group, leaving the two alone…for now
SHe sat atop the wall, munching on the apple she had stolen, her white cloak a sharp contrast to the gray wall "you handled yourself pretty good."
"Nothin' new." He put his hood up again
"really? that's a surprise. So what now? I'm guessing you drove off the guards so you could have the glory of killing me yourself?" she asked with a slight tilt of her head
"Incorrect." He let out a small sigh, "Even if i wanted to, i don't carry weapons."
"You don't need weapons to kill." she deadpanned "I've seen people kill well enough with their bare hands and blind hatred." She glanced up at her savior "Thank you, I guess. I have no money to give you for your gesture."
"And who said i wanted money?" he turned to face her, one of the only visible areas of his face the lighter of his eyes.
She narrowed his eyes at him "If you think I was going to give you something else, you're sadly mistaken."
He looked unimpressed, but not by the lack of offering, "I didn't."
"Than what do you desire for your chivalrous act of saving a fae?" she asked with sarcasm
"Nothing. Now, I'd suggest you get out of here before they change their minds." he turned to leave
She regarded him with surprise and wavered before waving to him "come with me, they'll have more guards when they return. More than what both of us can fight off."
"You'd be surprised" He said blankly, but did stop
"yeah I would be if they left you alive. Now come." She offered him her hand
He looked at her hand, raising an eyebrow, “You clearly underestimate me.”
He shrugged "I underestimate everyone until proven wrong. I'm usually right though, especially when it comes to mortal men." She helping him up the wall
He sighed, looking over the town
SHe jumped down and waited for him "thanks again for helping escape, why'd you do it?"
“Because I wanted to, no particular reason.”
"your a liar. And a bad one at that. No helps my kind out of the goodness of their hearts. If so, my people would've been saved." She said bitterly, heading to the road leading back to the forest
“I don’t appreciate your accusations. I’m not lying, not all humans are the same. There’s no need to be a bitch about it.”
She turned on her heal to face him "Yes they are. Where were you when they slaughtered my race hm?"
"Look. I'm sorry about your race and whatever, but I will not be assumed to act as they do."
She shook her head in disbelief "Fine. Think what you want. Believe the fantasy you want to believe." She started to walk again, throwing the apple core to the side and pulling her hood over her head
He rolled his eyes, he didn’t follow.
She picked her way carefully through the foliage, masking her tracks in the snow by waving her hand throught the snow
