|V||Baby, I'm being kidnapped!|
"...as long as you be on your best behaviour."
Ancient Divine looked down at Divine like she was some sort of spoilt puppy.
"Meh mehmehmeh meh mehmeh." She mimicked, sticking out her tongue.
He shook his head, "a grown lady acting like a child, no wonder you're so tiny. Your height goes well with your sense..."
She slapped him, "hey bucko! I'm 5'7, not that short! Not my fault you're from the Goliath lineage."
He rubbed his reddened cheek. "Feisty." He muttered, grabbing her and swinging her over his shoulders like she was a sack of rice.
She thumped on his back, "let go of me! This is undignified." She sulked.
He grouched, "and you say I weigh a ton, just what have you been putting into this tiny body?" Making his way down the path.
She rolled her eyes, "oh stop whining, I'm the perfect weight for a 22 year old, at least, a modern one..."
"Twenty-two? With those crows eyes? Ow- !" He yelped as she dug her nails into his bare back.
"Say one more negative thing about my body again, I dare you!"
"Dare not accepted." He tsked, walking faster.
She put her hands on both sides of her face, yawning. "So Ancient Divine, AD- are you the crown prince or...?"
"Do not call me that, it's not my name."
"Blah blah blah, get on with answering my question please."
"Humph... matter of fact I am. The only child too. Heir to this tribe-"
"Yep yep, I get the gist, don't make this journey more boring than it already should be."
"Maybe I should just take you to my father instead and pass a decree for you to be tied up and be feasted on by wild animals."
She twisted her body till she was sitting upright on his shoulders, legs at each side of this neck, facing the same direction as him.
Placing her hands on his soft hair, "yeah and I'll just as well tell him how much of a lying conniving cheat his son is, ruin your rep a little..."
"For the last time, I did not cheat on you because I'm not this AD guy you keep droning about! Even though I'm not betrothed yet, I wouldn't let the image of you and I being together come to mind, you insane woman!"
"Pfft, good, I was planning on breaking up with you. Maybe your type is that birkin wearing brunette."
"Birkin...?"
She shrugged, "at least Modern Dua said it was, chill." She searched through the woven bag, "ah ha!" She rejoiced on seeing her phone also accompanied her to this weird place.
"Why is Tiny Lady exclaiming?" He tried looking up.
"Keep your eyes on the road buddy, that's bad driving..." She mumbles as she tries to switch on the phone.
It was dead.
Ugh, stupid ocean water!
She looked down at him, smiling sweetly, "don't mind me but do you have lemme say some rice in your hut?"
"No..." He replied warily, wondering what the strange woman on his shoulders was up to.
"Of course." She huffed, putting her phone back.
"Are we getting there soon?"
"Well-"
"Shhhh! I see it, that is it right?"
"Uh... yeah, but I think we should be turning back."
"Why? I'm mean it's just right there, a couple feet away!"
She jumped off him, rushing to the hut which was much bigger than Ancient Dua's.
As she got closer she realised it was more of a mud house than an actual hut.
But as she got closer she also realised why Ancient Divine was so insistent on turning back.
There were five men in the same attire there checking the entrance of the mud house.
One which just had to spot her before she had the chance to run back.
"Hey you over there!" He barked out.
She looked behind her, finally facing the stoic man, placing her finger on her chest. "You mean me?"
She asked slowly with a toddler voice.
Instead of answering, he charged after her, making her also run.
"Hella rude!" She scolded running away quicker.
"Aargh you!" She pounced on Ancient Divine on meeting him. He was trekking back the way they'd came from.
On top of his back, pulling on his hair, "you dick! You weren't going to come back for me! Didn't even tell me why I shouldn't go there!" She punched him.
He pounded on the red earth, "ah! Crazy lady! Someone get her off me!"
And his wish was granted as one of the men lifted her off him. She struggled against the man, kicking the air roughly.
Three others appeared in front of him, two with spears.
The one who wasn't armed helped him up then bowed. "Prince Adriel, you're coming with us."
He stood up, permitting the other two to grab Ancient Divine by the arms.
Pointing to Divine, "alleged partner in crime, you will also be following."
"Bitch, I just met him! Don't wanna be partnering up with the dude." She argued as another came to hold her down.
Great, reinforcements... she rolled her eyes.
"Hush, do not protest woman."
"Don't you dare 'hush' me!" She mugged him. "Do you know what this is called?...
... being kidnapped!"
