They spoke at the same time:"What the 'ell was that for?" he barked at her obvious he was furious at just being knocked down by a girl.
"Eh!What give's you the right to kill the guard?" she yelled with the same bit of fury he inquired.
"The bow." he said, smirking as he waved his bow in the air.
Soon,Alexa was in her room,wearing trousers and a grey blouse.She waited for him on her small balcony,smirking.
"And this," she said as she rolled up the end of his trousers to reveal his now swollen ankle." Is why I forbid you to ever risk your life for me, Levi." she softly dabbed the damp cloth on his ankle, though being cautious as not to cause pain.

"I don't see why not." She hoisted herself up from the floor, and walked to the door of the room. "I shall return. However, I must go ask the nice desk clerk for a spare of apparel." Then, she went down stair. Not long after had she returned to the room with a hand full of clothes. She took a pair- another in which was for Levi- and found the bathroom. Later, she came out wearing the now most pleasing night gown instead of that huge gown she wore at the masquerade a few hours ago. Then, she twisted her hair into a fishtail braid. A little while, she wondered what her family were doing. Did they even notice their daughter's disappearance? Were they searching for her?
To Alice it didn't matter. She was safe and sound.

Something wasn't right. He could have sworn he felt the presence of someone or something nearby- hiding. "Show yourself," he commanded.
In the distance she could hear horse hooves beating the pavement, and she paused to listen. Please don't let it be.. she thought to herself. Riding into view were three horses, two of which had riders, all three bearing the Treyian crest. In moments her facade would be over - not once had she lied to him, deceived him, but now she worried he would believe she had when he found out her true self. She gripped the necklace and stood, with a worried side glance at Heath. The horses skid to a stop, their nostrils flaring from excursion. Fae stood tall, every bit of the warrior princess she had been raised to be. "Your highness, there has been trouble at the castle and you are needed immediately." One knight spoke proudly. His eyes flickered, and he looked apologetic, before continuing, "Alice has gone. Whether she has been taken, or on her own is not known."
It felt like the world sat on her heart. Her strength wavered, and her mouth fell open slightly. Alice? She turned to Heath. "Heath, I.." She trailed off, unable to find words. She had to go, but couldn't express her gratitude and wonder of him. The wonder of not wanting to go.
Alice heard the howl of a wolf just outside. The noise had rudely woken her up, and she sprung up from the bed; panting frantically. She took in the small room around her, from the tiny dresser to the window.
How did I get here? she thought as she looked around for Levi, but found nothing. She froze to hope she'd hear another howl from outside, but heard nothing. So, it all had been her imagination? A dream?
At that moment before she was just about to doze off, she found someone peeking through the window. This time she was sure of it. Alarmed, she hoped out from her bed to peek through the drapes.

"You're telling me," he snorted after recalling nearly getting beaten to death earlier by this lunatic of a princess, let's not forget the fact she'd stolen his only weapon after just breaking his nose.
He wiped at the now dried blood that was caked just below his nostrils. "May I ask what you doing in the middle of this forest wearing that?" He nodded to her gown, and then looked to the little inn. He seen the smoke arousing from the chimney, and had realized someone was in there. However, that was peculiar. No one had ever stayed at an inn in the middle of no where. Unless it was needed. Thomas thought for a minute of going inside, but shook the thought away.

"My horse kicked me off left me in the woods and I've been here alone for a couple hours so just sneaking around isn't that fun!" she said with sarcasm in her voice she sighed and brushed her hands through her hair. "I got angry and threw someone's bow they let me borrow....somewhere..and I left the ball early pretty nice when you don't have a date.." She added looking down at her gown and sighing. "I need armor and a weapon I need Iron and a bed...I need a blacksmith and food.." she said throwing down the stick. "If you don't mind I need directions.." she said looking at the boy.
You have got to be kidding me. She groaned as she lifted up the hem of her nightgown, careful not to get any mud on the piece of clothing, and she was off. It wasn't long after her hair was completely soaked and her bare feet were sploshing through the rain puddles as she went in search of Levi.
