Amber stood shakily, only to collapse on her face shortly after. She tried to yell out but found she had been gagged. She looked at her hands and feet which were tied together in shackles. Probably why she couldn't stand up. She did her best to bring her feet up to her hands and push the shackles off her hands with her feet. All it did was cut her hands up. She tried to look around and found herself in a small cell. Her bow and arrows were nowhere to be found and he cloak was ragged and torn on the floor next to her. She felt cold and alone. Where was everyone? What had happened to them?
"Answer me! I know you're there!" Ariene continued to yell at the man on the other side of the cell. "I, said, Where is my dog, and where are my friends!"
The man in gold armor turned around and looked through the bars in the door, glaring at Ariene. "Stop yapping!" He said, very irritated.
(They should have gagged Ariene but I guess they thought Amber would have more clever uses for her words to get them out or something lol)
Diane woke up shaking. She was in a corner and Shey wasn't anywhere near here. She heard yelling far in the distance. It sounded like Ariene. I've been alone without Shey for five years. I can survive this kidnapping. Wait. I said kidnapping! "SHEY!!!!!!!!"
"I won't stop yelling till I get answers!" Ariene continued
The man groans, 'this is going to be a veryyyyy long day.' He thinks."I am under no obligation to answer. And besides, I shouldn't waste my time talking to someone of such a low status as you."
Ariene frowned. "Oh, and you think you're sooooo cool. Walking around in your 'golden armor'. You know what, I bet it's fools gold or something. Or even better, i'm sure you just painted it gold. That would make sense. You're just a wannabe knight." Ariene said, trying to annoy him and get an answer.
"That's the lamest insult I've heard." He responded
"Oh yeah, well you're the lamest insult to knights I've seen," Ariene said
-The man in gold armor soon got annoyed by her extremely cringy 'comebacks' and gave in. "Alight fine!I'll answer one question, but you have to be quiet after!" He said.
(They should have gagged Ariene but I guess they thought Amber would have more clever uses for her words to get them out or something lol)
(lol, yeah, Ariene has her hands tied though, so she just annoyed the guard with purposefully cringy comebacks.)
(Being annoying is Ariene's 'superpower'. She is very good at it. XD)
(I'm sure Amber has a better way of talking her way out of the cell that Ariene did…. XD. I think Ariene is still a little numb in the head from being unconscious to think logically.)
(I'm sure Amber has a better way of talking her way out of the cell that Ariene did…. XD. I think Ariene is still a little numb in the head from being unconscious to think logically.)
(Exactly she could have communicated to the others in a secret language or something clever like that. I'm sure she's gonna do some loud morse code soon.)
Michael heard the guard and Ariene talking further down the hall and struggled silently against his restraints
(Oh yay! That makes sense, that way Ariene will understand the code if Amber uses it. Smart.)
"Ah ha, one question, well then, Why am I here?" Ariene asks
The guard sighs, defeated by someone so annoying. "We only came for the princess, but we didn't want you guys to get in our way. (does that sound about right?) That's your answer. Now you have to be quiet!!!!" The guard responded, happy that she would finally shut up. (he couldn't have been more wrong)
Ariene grins, "okay then, ill be quiet, now, I have lots and lots of questions to ask you." She whispered, taking advantage of the fact he said to 'be quiet, instead of saying to shut up completely. The room was completely empty, so there was not much she could do to actually escape. With that in mind, she thought she might as well gather information.
(Does anyone else feel bad for Diane?)
Anna woke up in a barren cell. Her shirt had a rip down the side and she lost a shoe. "What…" she muttered, going onto one knee and then onto both. Her hands were tied together, and she couldn't see anything. "Hey! Idiots! Let me go, you fu-" She got stopped by hearing voices somewhere down in the hall. "Sami! Where are you?" She could feel her wrist beginning to bleed from rubbing against the ropes, but ignored it.
"I swear to God if you do not let me and the other people go right now I will beat you with a twig until you cannot get up!"
(I think Anna's my favorite character!)
(Wait. Nope she's my spirit animal.)
(honestly i love writing her character)
(#THEPOWEROFTHETWIGCOMPELSYOU) (XD)
(book lord is doing something right now, but she should update on Sami later, if she gets my texts)
Amber picked up a broken piece of one of her arrows. It wasn't sharp, but it sure was hard. She took it in her gagged mouth and started using it to bang against the bars of the cell. It echoed in a pattern of long and short sounds.
W-H-O-S H-E-R-E?
She tapped out loudly.
Diane tried to move but her hands were chained together and tied to a pole. The back of her head was against the metal pole. She heard banging from the end of the hall. Diane tried to scream, but it sounded like a gurgle. Her eyes filled with tears. No one's coming for me. Shey won't. Her acquaintances won't either. Diane let the tears roll off her cheeks and form a puddle on the ground.
