Snippet #2495075

Jason smiled but frowned when he heard a scuffle outside the door. He frowns rather confused as he hears it stop suddenly. "Wake Elaine, we need to get out of here," he says as he understands what was happening. He moves to the door, opening it slightly to see exactly what he feared. A group of men were in the hall standing over the bodies of the guards, bloodied weapons in hand. One looked up and Jason saw will before he slammed the doors and held them. "Get her out," he yells as he holds the doors. Annabelle fakes Elaine, picking up Lilian as she rushes the group to a secret passage. As everyone made it through, Annabelle looks back to see Jason struggling with the doors. "Come on," she calls but understands with a shake of his head he couldn't come. She looked sadly back at him before going into the passageway, sealing it just as the thugs burst inside to envelop Jason.

Annabelle could barely see in the passageway as she led the group. After around ten minutes, they emerged in a secret room with cobwebs and old stores of food. On the way in the group had heard through a small hole in the wall two men talking. They were laughing about how easy becuase were to trick and how someone named will was so happy to be sitting on the throne now that their gang had secured the castle. The remaining guards were either dead or in towers that were locked and more heavily guarded with people than those inside. "We can figure a way out and get things back to normal," Annabelle says softly as she tries to reassure the group.

Isabella looked up as she heard shouting and cries of pain not too far off. There was a loud hang of the door before quite yet again resumed. Moments later she head shouting come from the room next door. "The queen couldn't have escaped, I have my men all over. She must still be in the castle, we just need to find her. We have two people who could know, this one and the princess. How hard can it be to pry that information out?" Will asked.

Jason had been thrown at the feet of the English king rather roughly and was rather ticked at this point. "I'm being honest when I say I don't know where they could hide if you really have your men everywhere," Jason manages as he stares up at the king with a defiant and aloof gaze.
