Outside the Walls

Aurora looked down from her tree branch and her instantly fell on Akemi's form walking back, she couldn't see her face good but she could tell by her tense posture that something was up. As quickly as she could, Aura descended from the tree, quietly landing on the ground in front of the princess. "What are you talking about? And you should know not to wander off Akemi, we aren't in the palace anymore, it's dangerous out here." Aura put a gentle hand on the girl's shoulder and walked past her. She couldn't see anything, not when she was higher up in the tree, or now but as she held her breath to listen for any noise she could hear the faintest of musical notes in the distance. After a second she turned back to Akemi, her mouth in a tight line. "There's someone else out there." She cursed under her breath then grabbed the Princess's wrist, hauling her back to their makeshift campsite.

"Elena, we have to leave, I could be wrong but I believe there are others somewhere close by and I don't want to take any chances tonight." Aura released Akemi and looked at both of them now. "Don't make a sound, we don't want to give ourselves away." With the lightest of footsteps Aurora led the two through denser trees to hopefully keep themselves from being seen. The further she walked the more she wished she'd talked Akemi into staying home.

"In some odd way this is exciting." She whispered to her self so the other girls wouldn't think that she is crazy. "Come on lazy!" She looked at Elena then followed Aura through the brush. She stepped into a hole jamming her ankle a little. "Ow gosh!" She growled and pulled her ankle out. When she tried to step on it a sharp pain shot through her ankle and she screamed. Akemi quickly covered her mouth then looked at the other two girls. "Sorry!"

Tyler woke up "alexei Nick I think there are others nearby" Tyler said he couldnt explain this weird feeling it coulda just een the facthe hd a weird dream but sill he hee had this unshakeable feeling

Nicholas was enjoying the piece, lightly strumming the strings of his harp. A sudden scream from the forest, had Nicholas storing his harp, and jumping out of the tree. Nicholas didn't the need to check on the prince in account of a scream, besides he was plenty capable of defending himself. Nicholas used the little moonlight that pierced the foliage, to find his way through the trees. He slowed his pace, when he noticed a small group in the distance. Nick aligned himself with a near by tree, and watched the small group. He wanted to determine if they were a threat or not, and makes sure they would not cause any problems.

Elena grunted. "Uuugh." She smirked and picked up her stuff before raising her hood again and following them. She turned around when Akemi squealed. "You ok?" she asked, taking a step towards her.

Aurora attempted to clap a hand over Akemi's mouth to muffle her scream but it was too late. Sucking in her breath she exhaled slowly, looking at Akemi. "Are you okay Princess? You have to be more careful." She frowned and bent down to examine her ankle, taking out a bandage roll and wrapping it up. "Times like these make me worry about what would happen when I'm not around." She laughed and stood up, looking around to see if they were being followed. She couldn't really tell since it was dark, but she made sure to keep her guard up. "We better keep moving."

“We’ll we will go see what the scream was about… help them if they need it and be on our way.” Alexei said standing up. “I can not in good conscious leave even if only a possibility a innocent to harm.” He said solemnly. “Lead the way I am a most horrible tracker.” He said with a slight grin before falling into place behind who ever took the lead.

Yeah I-I'm fine..." She let the other two girls know that she was fine, but really she lied to them. Akemi let Auora wrap her foot up then tried to stand. "See better already!" She kept a big smile on her face as a front to cover the pain. No sence in trying to act like a baby in a time like this, so Akemi got over it. "Lets keep moving it feels like they are getting closer."
