(does anyone have any ideas for what I can do with Cade? He's kind of just stuck getting groceries until I figure something out)

Maybe he could go to Matt’s teaoarty and merry gheothet?

Cade walked around the square, buying all the things his mother had on the list she had given him. Not quite wanting to return to his noisy home, he slung the bag's strap over his shoulder and walked around the woods. He heard voices up ahead and stopped suddenly, hiding behind a large tree. Cade was close enough that he could hear the conversation, but he didn't dare turn to see who was talking.

Harper ran into the woods. "All I wanted was some food! Not to have a bunch of the queen's guards trying to kill me!" She grabbed a tree branch and swung herself up in the tree and the guards ran right past her. Whew. That was a close one. Then she heard talking. She silently swung herself to another tree, then spotted Scarlet with a few other teens.

In the distance, Cade spotted a younger girl with green hair in the trees. He watched her as he listened in, not sure if he could trust her. Cade placed his hand on his knife, ready to fight if he needed to.

Harper saw another teen looking at her. She pulled up her hood, suddenly subconscious about her naturally green-blue hair, and suspicious of him. He could be working for the queen. Be careful. She told herself.

Cade made eye contact with the green haired girl. He nodded at her, hoping that she would realize that he wasn't there to hurt her. It was best to make allies while you could.

Harper saw the other teen give her a small nod. She gave him a small smile and nodded back. Then she looked down at Scarlet. I haven't seen Scarlet in so long. Would she even remember me? She thought.

Cade decided to do what the green haired girl had done and climb up the tree. He tried to be as quiet as he could as he made his way up to a branch so he could look over the people who were talking. Once he peeked through the branches he saw three people: Matt the son of the Mad Hatter, that girl from the shop, and….Scarlet. Cade growled, his hand gripping the knife. That son of a b** little princess…once I get my hands on her…

Santiago made his way through the woods on the path towards his cabin. He felt half asleep and rubbed at his eyes. The path was as decently clear, but there was a good amount of thick brush and trees around him.

Chelsea sat in a branch in a big tree, perfectly concealed. She grinned as she saw Scarlet enter the woods.

(Oh no everyone’s stalking Scarlet lol)

Scarlet fidgeted in her seat uncomfortably, on edge. At every rustle If leaves that sounded from the woods she jumped, imagining the Queen’s cavalry descending upon her.

(Well, she is the princess. xD)
“Oh wow looksie, the little princess has escaped.” Chelsea murmured, grinning madly. Imagine if all the people heard that news.

Harper suddenly had an idea. If Scarlet remembered her, she would remember their special 'call'. She put her hands to her mouth and imitated a bird call that she and Scarlet had made up all those years ago.

Chelsea looked around, “Wow I’m not the only person who’s noticed the red haired princess.”

(Wait, remind me how Scarlet knows Harper again? Sorry I'm getting all the characters a bit mixed up)

(I didn't really say anything, but Harper and her sister used to work in the palace as cover, but Harper and Aubrey ran away when Harper was ten.)

(Got it. How much does Scarlet know about Harper?)

(I'm not sure. I'm guessing bc they have a secret call that they were kind of friends. But you can choose.)

(okies here I go:)

Scarlet sat up straight in her street as if an electric shock had shot through her. Her coppery eyes went wide as she sprang up from her seat, scanning the leafy fiolage. "Harper?", she called softly, voice trembling with longing to see her old friend again.

Harper smiled. She dropped out of the foliage. "Hey Scarlet." She said quietly, giving her old friend a small smile.
