ooc:// for the record, horses who wear shoes do not leave unique tracks. just so you know for future reference. some people care about that type of accuracy in roleplays and it would bother them. I don't mind though. =)

bic:// Shortly after they finished eating breakfast, it began to rain. The remainder of the pack returned just before the light rain became a downpour. Well, any tracks not destroyed by the fire are gone now... "No going outside for a while," Krsytalia told Sugarfoot. "Father probably sent out trackers, so we do not want to leave any distinguishable marks." It smells like wet dog in here.... I hate the smell of wet dog....

Occ:// Oh! Sorry about that...I just couldn't think of anything to write...

Bic:// Addanc cursed under her breath. "Great, now we have no idea where the princess is." She growled and stopped her horse. "I hate rain." She remarked out loud.

Hobbes nodded in agreement. "Can't disagree with you there." Hobbes replied. "Hey, Addanc, shouldn't we just let the horses rest awhile? In the raim we'll be just wandering around blindley, and we're getting soaked to the bone." Hobbes asked bluntly. To his surprise, Addanc nodded. "Good point Hobbes." She said, and steered her horse toward a neerby cave, but it whinnied in protest.

ooc:// I don't mind. It's perfectly fine. =)

bic:// Krystalia heard the whinnie of a nearby horse. "Don't make a sound," she whispered to Sugarfoot. The wolves began to growl as they flattened their ears and raised their haunches. They were going to send out a defensive party soon; the horse was in their territory. I hope no one gets hurt... Get out of there fast... She silently told the nearby rider.

Addanc raised a brow. "Wolves." she said, and turned the horse around. Hobbes follwed.

They set up camp a a couple hundered feet away from the cave, Addanc wanted to keep her eye on the cave. She had her weapons ready if anything happened. Hobbes watched too, the finally blurted out. "Why are we watching a acave full of wolves Addanc? We could be killed in our sleep!" Addanc looked at him. "Because there weren't just wolves in that cave."

The wolves relaxed for the night when they realized the threat wasn't immediate. Krystalia wasn't so sure, so she closed her eyes and listened. "They're still close by," she told Sugarfoot. "They suspect something... We can't make any noises or leave the back of the cave until we're sure they've left....." She asked the wolves to always have a few members of the pack stay back to protect them and the cave until they were sure the riders were gone for good.

OCC:// We should make things a little more interesting, how about, Krystalia goes out and thinks they are asleep, but Hobbes is keeping watch?

Hobbes grumbled something and leaned back in his sleeping sack. "I'll take first watch." he said. Addanc just looked at him, and nodded, then turned over and drifted off to sleep.

ooc:// sure.

bic:// I need to know if they're still close by, and if they are, who it is... "Stay here Sugarfoot; you'd be too loud." He gave her a look of resentment, but stayed put. Krystalia grabbed a leafy branch from the pile of rejected to fire wood to wipe away her tracks, and stealthily creeped out of the cave with a wolf in tow. She stifled a gasp and hid behind a nearby tree when she saw it was the boy she'd grown up with and watched rise through the ranks. I wish Father hadn't forbade me to learn his name so I could make a more persuasive argument if he saw me... No. Keep it together. I. AM. NOT. GOING. HOME. Krystalia steeled herself for what was to come and waited behind her tree.

Hobbes looked around, he thought he heard leaves crunching. He shook his head, probably animals. He felt someone watching him, but who? He thought he saw a shadow, and narrowed his eyes, but, he didn't see anything. He decided to go take a looke just in case. He grabbed his dagger, but kept it sheathed when he attatched it to his belt. He quietly walked over and peered behind a tree.

Krystalia pinned him to the tree and had her dagger from her boot close to his neck. Her wolf companion was growling. "You've grown up with me; you should know not to sneak up on me. My father sent you. Promise not to take me back by force and I'll take the dagger away from your neck," she whispered to the boy.

Hobbes gasped when he was pinned to the tree. When she said prmise not to take her by force, he gasped out. "I won't."

She took the dagger away from his neck, but didn't reseath it. "If you go back on your promise, I will ensure that you NEVER become a knight," she whispered menacingly. "I thought you were my friend, why would you come after me like this?" There was a hint of hurt in her voice.

Hobbes gulped. "I-I had no choice princess, I can't say no to your father." he whispered. He glanced back at Addanc, who was still fast asleep.

Krystalia was irritated, but she could never stay fully mad at her childhood companion. "I know that you know my name, even if my father never allowed me to learn yours. I hate being called Princess. I am a person you know. If you start becoming one of those people who says I should be proper there's no point in me talking to you ever again." she let the irritation show in her hushed voice a bit. "Oh and if you try to wake the tracker up, my dagger goes back to your throat."

"A-alright Prin-I mean Krystalia," he whispered shakily. She could be scary, especially when she had a dagger! "Now, why did you run away?" he asked quietly.

Krystalia gave him a bit more space so she seemed less threatening. "My father suddenly decided that I'm no longer a person; I'm only a Princess who isn't proper and doesn't like her suitors." She made a face at the idea of being prim and proper. "So I left to remind him that I'm not a proper Princess and what I'm capable of. By the way, what's your name? Father never let me learn it... I'm sorry..." her voice showed embarissment when she asked for his name.
