Princess Anna ~
She could hear Robin agree. She shook her head. I was never even planned. She said meekly but quiet. Her father didn't mean for her to come along but she did. She was told at a young age that she just made everything bad and that she was hated for it. Princess Anna thought about it for a while and cried more. She couldn't think of any reason not to leave. Maybe she'd enjoy it here better then back at the palace. She thought of Sam and then of Royce and it made her even more upset. They were in a locked room and nobody could get to them. Anna said their names very quietly and looked at the ground. This cannot be happening to me. She said and pulled off the tiara and the necklace. Maybe she could give it to them? It was worth about 3,000 coins together. She shut her eyes and just layed her head on the bars lazily.

Felix clapped his friend on the shoulder and smiled, "good hunting." he wished his friend, wishing him good luck on the raid. He walked back inside to the princess's cell. He sat down on the chair again, tilting his head the slightest bit to one side. He smiled, "cheer up, tis only a matter of time before your on your way home once more, unless you'd like to stay here, once you get to walking around. Now, do you want me to send a thief to the castle to get anything of yours that you want?" he asked, the man he had chosen stood outside the cell, waiting for orders. He planned on letting the girl walk around, the place was very well guarded and she wouldn't make it out of the dense forest without being caught, both himself and his people had been living here their whole lives and all knew it like the back of their hands, so to speak.

She rubbed her eyes. I don't know if I want to go home or not. She said in a depressed tone. And I want my puppies. Sam and Royce. She said and looked at him. She was to upset right now to smile but she forced one on anyway. Anna looked at his through the bars. You can call me Anna too. She said. She hated being called Princess Anna because it would make people think to much of her. Princess Anna moved her hand on the stone ground and picked up a peeble. She playfully tossed it to Felix and smiled some. She liked playing around. She smiled more and more as she began to relax and just be herself. She let her hair out of the bun and her golden locks fell down to her shoulders. She looked at the ground then back at Felix. She liked hazel eyes a lot.

Felix nodded, he looked at the thief, who slipped away. He returned his gaze to her, catching the pebble before it reached him. He glanced at her after examining it, he knew from her expression that she was messing around, but he wasn't used to fun and its companions. He smiled and dropped it. "Come on, it'll be better for the shock if your moving around." he said, he briefly touched the handle of his sword and found the keys behind it, he opened the door and stepped back, waiting to see if she would run or act out.

Princess Anna ~
She stood, nervous. She looked at the guys then back at him. She knew that Felix would be the one who would probably protect her. Princess Anna began to walk slowly. Stopping next to Felix. She could feel everything inside her scream run but she wouldn't. It was like she was a magnet. Opposite ends attract. She felt like she was attracted to Felix. She waited for a direction or an order or something! She looked at her hands. Rubbing her red wrists. She couldn't believe that she had never noticed it until now. Anna looked at the ground again and after a while she felt something in her shift. She felt like she was so helpless. She shook her head slightly and ran her fingers through her hair.

Felix smiled at her, immediately warming to her when she didn't try anything funny. He motioned with his hands, "leave us." he told his men, they nodded understanding and retreated to their posts. He looked at her. "Come on, let's get you moving around a bit." he said he started walking, he walked out of the house and into the clearing, wooden buildings filled it, with a wall and the tangle of the forest. "So..." he said, he generally took the female prisoners to the hospital to get a good look at what their lord husbands did to the people. His people. But, it didn't feel right to do that to her, she hadn't done anything. He glanced at her. She was very pretty, a slight little thing, kinda liker her mother, but she had her father in her too. He smiled, "alright, well, where to you want to go? We have the stable, the fields, and a bunch of other places, just say or point to a house or something and we'll go.

Princess Anna ~
She smiled at him. Wherever you want to take me. She replied simply. She liked him. She held her own hands. She looked at everything around her. The forest was pretty inside, but on the outside it looked as though it held many secrets and souls. Princess Anna put a little skip in her step and perked up. She looked at him, she always leaned to one side as she walked so she was kind of leaning on him. She pulled away some and bumped Sirius. It startled Anna and she jumped again. She looked at Felix and then at the beautiful horse.

Felix smiled and then glanced at her, he shook his head. When she startled slightly at Sirius, he laughed quietly, he patted his neck. "This is my horse, Sirius, though I don't believe it's the first time you've seen him, besides when we brought you here. He has a steady step, has never stumbled or failed me. Would you like to go for a ride?" he suggested, Sirius gazed at them with intelligent brown eyes and then gazed skeptically at Anna. He tossed his head and nickered.

Princess Anna ~
S-sure. She said and smiled some at him. She rubbed Sirius' mane and smiled. She loved horses even though she never owned one, offically. She looked at Felix and then at the men watching her. That made her feel uncomfortable and she pulled her hair so it covered her shoulders and her neck. She looked at the ground and then at the horse once more, she could hear echos from the beautiful birds chirping in the forest somewhere.

"Alright." he said, he smiled again, a quick smile and helped her up onto Sirius's back. He shifted slightly, his armor jingling, he climbed up behind her. He hoped it wouldn't make her uncomfortable, but he couldn't afford to trust her quite yet, at least not enough to let her ride a horse be herself, he shifted his sword so it hung off the side and gathered Sirius's reigns, one arm snaked around her waist, so she wouldn't fall off. He clucked his tongue and Sirius trotted forward, his hoofs eating up large amounts of ground, he signaled for the men to open the gate and they burst out of the gate. He kicked Sirius's side and then galloped steadily, for Sirius's size made his gate steady and relaxing, but fast.

Princess Anna ~
She smiled and looked back at him. She leaned back and just relaxed. She trusted Felix somewhat. She smiled as she could feel Sirius shift and take in strides. She smiled some and looked over at him. Her head rested somewhat on his shoulder as she watched everything pass. When she finally noticed his arm snaked around her she blushed some. She looked forward and moved a little, getting in a better position. She thought of what her life might be if she stayed. She looked at the ground as it passed and she stroked Sirius gently. She loved animals and hoped those thieves were hurting her puppies. Royce was the fighter but Sam was a biter. She giggled some, thinking of the small puppies fighting like grown dogs.

Felix turned Sirius and they began to ride along the wall, they got the edge of it after about five minutes, then they went deeper into the forest, he enjoyed the quietness of the ride, and soon they came upon Saint Paul's lake. He pulled Felix to a stop and dismounted, helping her down. He smiled and pulled a picnic basket from his saddle bag. He smiled and walked to the waters edge, turning his back on her, if she wanted to run, she could run, he wasn't worried, someone would catch her anyway, and he didn't mind if she tested him, though he didn't exactly expect her too.

Princess Anna ~
She just stood there and waited for her. She stroked Sirius and smiled some at him. She looked at the ground and then up at the horse again. She smiled and saw an apple. She bent over, picking it up and holding it out for Sirius. She looked over at Felix and heard something. Robin. Robin was talking to the guards around the forests and she smirked. She didn't like his attitude toward her. She looked at the ground and then back at Felix. She hummed a simple tune that her mother taught her and she just enjoyed being in the forest. She saw a bird fluttering around in the tree tops and she smiled again. She whistled to him and he flew over to her. It was a cardinal! A beautiful bird!

Felix heard a twig snap and glanced over, he was relieved to find it was Robin, leading his men towards the road. He bird called, to have it returned, he smiled and waved, he walked back to princess and watched the cardinal fly overhead, he smiled and whistled like a bird, the bird flew over and settled on his shoulder, he gave it some seed, which he kept in a pocket. It lifted its wings and flew away. He smiled, "You hungry?" he asked, lifting the basket slightly, indicating that it held food.

Princess Anna ~
Yeah, a little. She said and looked at him. More interested in Felix than the basket. She felt something inside her tell her to run and she just ignored it. She had many oppertunities to run but did she? Nope. Anna fixed her dress some and looked at the lake. It was so beautiful and peaceful. She saw a fish jump and she smiled. The very first koi she had seen in nature. She smiled. She always loved fish as pets. Koi was her favorite because of their gentle nature and their beautiful colors. Princess Anna looked at Felix one more time. He was tall for his age. Anna took a moment to put her hair back in a bun and then smiled some. She had small beads in her hair from when her mother had done her hair earlier.
