Re: AnnaBell looks around for rebels

I was dimly aware of movement, of my arm going limp on the bed. At first I was confused, but couldn't quite rouse my exhausted body from sleep, slipping back in and out of consciousness every now and then in an attempt to wake up. B



Bleh, sorry, not good at all...

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell~
I smiled lightly watching him, he was stirring a little but his body was exhausted, I've gotten more sleep then he has, it was his turn to sleep. Walking over to the bed I gently put a pillow under his arm, he was so tired that maybe he would think is was me, leaning over I kissed him on the cheek "Sleep Stefan" I whispered softly, moving back to the chair I quietly pull on my boots. Oh Stefan was going to kill me when he finds out I went out the window with out him,but he was so tired and needed sleep. Opening the window as quiet as I could, I looked over at Stefan then silently climb out the window, my bad shoulder was screaming in pain but I swung over to the vine.


Its ok, theres not much to work with. Im winging it so if you have a idea add it, haha cause Im not sure where this is going XD

[• Echo]

Lol, yeah, sounds good.


Stefan
Once more I tries to rouse my tired body from sleep, but wasn't really into it and gave up quickly, sinking back under the veil that kept me under. I could hear Anna's voice as if from far away and was reassured. Sighing, I relaxed my body back down again, breath becoming deep again, body and mind shutting back down and becoming still.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
I swung over to the vines and sucked in a low hiss from pain as my shoulder protests about doing this, but I gritted my teeth as I climbed down the vine. Jumping the last few feet I landed on the ground with a soft thud then quickly screamed to the shadows before I was seen. Smirking to myself I slip silently to the back maids entrance, it was locked with a light huff I take a bobby pin from my hair and pick the lock then slip inside. Of Stefan was going to kill me in the morning, peering into the hall and seeing that it was clear I hurried down and ducked next to a door and quickly worked the lock "Bing go" I mumbled and slip inside the room. I didn't dare turn on the light,besides the moon was giving off plenty of light,the room was full of didn't weapons that dad didn't touch including our swords and Stefan's gun.
Chewing on my lip I look silently for them and finely found them wrapped and laying on a table,quickly I grabbed them,relocked the door and silently went back outside. After I locked the maid door I tucked Stefans gun in the back waistband of my jeans,strapped the swords around my waist and started climbing back up the vine, my shoulder screaming in pain as I did but I made it too the top and swung myself back through the window only to tumble out onto the floor.

( Hey, sorry I'm just now replying, I wanted to earlier but was on my phone and then my computer was acting up and stupid stuff like that v.v )


Stefan's chest rose and fell deeply with every breath he took, oblivious to the fact that Anna was gone and doing their plan alone. He didn't realize anything was wrong until there was a loud 'thump' sound, upon which his eyes immediately flew open and he sat up quickly, getting a headrush, eyes scanning the room and a silent snarl on his lips until he saw Anna sitting by the window. Confused at first, then reality sinking in, he climbed swiftly out of bed and hurried towards her, ignoring the pain caused in his sides from his broken ribs.
"What the hell were you thinking?" he hissed, seeing the wrapped swords and gun on the floor beside her. He lay a hand gently on the side of her neck, quickly checkin over her body or any injuries other than the ones she had already had.
"Are you alright?" he asked quietly, hoping the guards outside didn't come in to check up on them.

[LoveOnHerArms]

(It's all good hun, Im watching Doctor Who anyway (: )

With a soft groan AnnaBell shook her head and winced pulling the gun from the waist of her jeans "Damn that hurt" putting the gun beside her she looked at Stefan kneeling down beside her "I was thinking of getting our stuff back!" she hissed back at him with a light sneer on her lips, she knew he was just being protective, smiling lightly up at him "Im fine Stefan,nothing hurts but my shoulder, now help me hid those" Scrambling to her feet she unbuckled the swords, she wasn't sure if the guards heard her or not, looking around the room she chewed on her healing lip "Under the mattress" lifting up the bed she shoved her sword under it, biting down harder on her lip from the pain shooting in her shoulder.

[• Echo]

Stefan
I caught the sneer on her lips and glared at her for a moment, expression hard and cold now. Rolling my eyes slightly, I give her a before grabbing the other weapons and all but throwing them beneath the mattress, leaning my shoulder against it so most of the weight was off of her bad shoulder, listening for footsteps that might stop at the door to their room.

( Short. )

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
Letting out a breath, she slide against the mattress and held her breath listening for footsteps, none came. "That was flawless besides me falling thought the window" she mumbled smiling lightly to herself, looking over at Stefan her smiled faded seeing the pissed look in his eyes and held her hands up in defence "You were exhausted! and it went faster with just one person, and Im fine" she rushed to add then let out a breath looking at him waiting for the blow up or for him to brush her off.

[• Echo]

Stefan
I just rolled my eyes slightly and straightened, a thousand snippy remarks coming to mind although I remained from saying anything of them. Instead I just tightened my jaw, knowing she had a point though hating to have to admit it, and walked over to the window, looking out at the night.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
Watching him I held my breath my shoulder was starting to yell at me for the sudden work out it got but I ignored it, a couple pain killers would take care of that. Seeing his jaw set and a muscle in his jaw twitch indicating he was mad but wasn't going to yell I smiled faintly looking at him, his back turned to me as he looked out the window. Getting to my feet I walked over to him and gently wrap my arms around him from behind "Sorry for not waking you up and doing it myself" I mumbled softly laying my head between his shoulder blades and sighed softly.

[• Echo]

Stefan
I heard her footsteps come up behind me, her arms soon finding their way around my waist. I felt my body instinctively cry out against the touch so close to my broken ribs, but I didn't attempt to move away as she lay her head against the top of my back. I removed one hand from the window ledge to put it on top of her's. I couldn't think of a good enough response so I said nothing, instead reaching up to close the window so they wouldn't suspect anything next time they came in to check on us.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
Feeling him tense up a little in my arms I loosen my arms around his waist and smiled softly to myself feeling his larger hand on top of mine, eyes closed I sighed taking in his scent he smelled like the woods with spice added into it all in all I loved it. Thinking I sighed softly again trying to block out the pain from my shoulder, but I was out of ideas honestly and I wasn't sure what to do next but I couldn't tell my people that we were going to start a war. "Stefan? Now what?" I asked softly against his back not wanting to move but I had to be hurting him.

[• Echo]

Stefan
Relatching the window shut, I almost shrug then stop, shaking my head instead. "I have no idea, I'm trying to think of something," I say dryly, hating being locked up.
"We'll just have to see what the morning brings," I say. Thin lines of light were beginning to streak across the sky, the moon crossing towards the mountains and the stars disappearing, signaling dawn.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell~
I sighed hearing his answer, I didn't like it but it was better then what I can up with "Right..." I mumbled against his back then shifted my head a little so I could peek over his shoulder and watch then sun slowly come up. Sighing again I let go of his wait, I needed to change into shorts and a shirt to look like I just woke up. "I've gotta change" was the mumbled as I slowly pulled my shirt off letting out a hiss from the pain, I pulled on my shorts then sighed looking at Stefan "Help?"

[• Echo]

Stefan
I felt her hands slide from my waist and I sighed, listening to her footsteps cross the floor away from me. I watched the sun rise until my eyes began to ache from the light, then turned to watch Anna get dressed. Apparently needing help, I walked with long strides towards her to help.


( Sorry, I'm just kinda brain dead today. )

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
Shirt in hand I sighed as he walked over to help, I hated that I needed somebody to help me pull a shirt on, but with the way my shoulder felt especially after climbing up and down the wall I needed the help. Onve my shirt ws on I looked up at Stefan with a light smile knowing being locked up in here was eating at him"We'll get out Stefan" I whispered softly leaned up and kissed him on the cheek softly before walking back to the bed. Wincing at my shoulder I crawled back into the bed and fell into the pillows with a huff, it's not like we had anything better to do then sleep.

(Hey! Im back....or well I think Im back...XD)

[• Echo]

Stefan
Coming up behind her, I gently placed a hand softly on her side, taking the shirt from her hands and gently bending my head down to kiss the area where her neck and shoulder met. I helped her pull the shirt onto her torso, kissing the back of her head softly on top.
"I know," I murmured quietly, though I could feel a building feeling of unease rising up in my chest. It was killing me to be shut up in her. I watched her walk over to the bed, staring off into space as she climbed in.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
Wincing from the pain in my shoulder I leaned more on my good shoulder and watched Stefan stare off into space. Sighing I pushed hair out of my face and slumped more into the pillows "Well it could be worse, we could still be down in the dungeon or dead" I was trying to help and lighten the mood but it didn't seem to be working, getting more annoyed that we were trapped in my room and that Stefan was starting to become closed up in himself. Huffing I grabbed a pillow and chucked it at him, not as hard as I wanted it but it still hit him at lest. "Snap out of it! Were both still alive and in my room! Ok so were locked up in here and when we are let out it's like were on a leash but were both still fine!" I snapped at him frustrated tears filling my eyes.

[• Echo]

Stefan
I rolled my eyes slightly, knowing she was trying to make me feel better but not having anything good to say, so I didn't. Turning slightly, I looked out the window, seeing morning light just beginning to streak across the sky. From the corner of my eye, I saw her moving, and was just a few seconds late in moving out of the way of whatever it was she was throwing at me. My eyes narrowed slightly.
"You think I don't already know this? I am an assassin, Anna, I've been in situations like this before!" I snapped, but I couldn't help thinking to myself that then, I had been on my own and had been able to make risky decisions without worrying about someone else, though I instantly regretted the thought. My eyes softened slightly as I looked at her, and I crossed through the room towards her with as long strides as I could manage, holding a hand against my bruised and cracked ribs. I sat down awkwardly in the bed then stretched slowly into a laying position, staying close to her without hurting her.
"It's okay, Anna, I was just thinking," I say quietly, pushing hair back from her face gently with my thumb, once again wishing that I were better with words.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
Listening to him snap back at me, my lips lifted into a sneer but the tears were still in my eyes. "And you think I haven't? What do you think I've been doing for years? Playing princess?!" I snapped back but deflated tired and my shoulder was hurting. Looking down at the blankets as he walked over I sighed softly then glanced over at him, he sat down then slowly stretched out on the bed beside me. Lifting my gaze to look at him I tried to smile as he pushed hair off my face with his thumb, "I know...sorry for snapping. It's not your fault" Snuggling down into the pillows more I looked over at him. "But what are we going to do? I doubt dad will keep us alive much longer with out doing something bad."



Blah........if you have a idea feel free to do it..cause right now I've got nothing.

[• Echo]

Stefan
I flinched slightly when she snapped at me but said nothing, brushing the comment off as I let my hand linger on her soft skin.
"I know," I said, saying nothing else for a while, thinking quietly to myself. Then I shook my head slightly.
"What exactly is outside of that window?" I asked her, looking past her for a moment to look at the lightening sky, then I returned my eyes to her's. If we waited until we could actually walk properly, then maybe that could be a way out, and it looked a whole lot more do-able if Anna had been able to sneak past and get our weapons. Though now, thinking about it, if they had guards with any skill at all, they would probably notice that the weapons were gone, hopefully not soon.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
Leaning into his soft touch I sighed and shrugged my good shoulder at his question, "Nothing much, the servants entrance is just to the left but if you keep walking you'll end up in the gardens and beyond that is the walls...." She trailed off and looked up at him. "We could escape!" I said in a low tone, my mind now racing with thoughts and questions. "You think it would work? We wait until it gets dark...well it could I used to sneak around this place all the time with out anyone knowing" I was more talking to myself now then to him.

[• Echo]

Stefan
I smiled slightly, brushing my thumb against her cheekbone.
"Do you like answering your own questions?" I teased half-heartedly, feeling mentally exhausted. I took a deep breath, letting it out slowly.
"I don't know this place, you do, at least to an extent, so I think your opinion counts more on this than mine," I say quietly, glancing towards the door as though I were afraid someone were listening in on us.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell
Letting out a breath as his brushed his thumb against my cheek I looked up at him and stuck my tongue out "Yes I do, because then I like the answer" I teased back happy that Stefan was starting to come back to me, tease and give me a hard time. Listening to him I nodded thinking about it "Well Im pretty sure we could get out through the window and then slip over the wall" A throbbing pain in my shoulder reminded me. "But we'll have to wait a little bit.." I added and looked up at his face before curled up more into the blankets and yawned.

[• Echo]

Stefan
The corners of my lips tipped up into a small smile, gently placing my hand on the side of her neck that was against the pillows, the other sliding down to her waist. I tried not to move the bed to much as I moved closer to her warm body, my legs spooning us together as I placed a soft kiss into her hair.
"I know I said quietly, my arm wrapping over her side so I could rub my fingers over her back softly in patterns. If they kept us alive long enough, we could let our bodies heal more and recuperate, and I didn't want to try to push our bodies too far over the edge to the point of where it wouldn't have even been worth escape.
