Avery ducked behind the wall. She had hoped the girl wouldn't notice. She hoped that the girl would just go away, but she also hoped the girl would find her. She wanted the girl to talk to her and maybe even befriend her, so with a sigh Avery stuck her head back up.
The blond had already made her way to the window. Avery watched as she climbed remembering her favorite book 'Rapunzel'. Avery started to wonder if she and the girl could be like Rapunzel's life. Minus the eye losing and desert of course. The blonds head suddenly popped up from the window causing Avery the back up. The blonds hair had a pink streak, she had piercing blue eyes. Avery just kept staring at her eyes. She hadn't even realized the girl was inside her room.
"Uh hello! You must be princess Avery of the Rosian kingdom. Correct? I'm Akira. I am the head guard of the Kelpie kingdom! Then again you would know since we are at war." Akira smiled.
Shit. Shit. SHIT! We are at war. She could try to kill me. She might hurt my family. She could be like a siren and I could be as good as dead. Tell her to leave. Stab her. DO SOMETHING. But all Avery was able to say was. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. I heard that you have been locked up here for a long time. Care explaining why?" Akira wouldn't stop smiling. At first it looked nice but now because she might kill her it looked psychotic.
"Oh. Cause of my hair. Rosians are born from burnt roses and always have ginger hair. I just wasn't." Avery explained sitting down on her bed. If she was going to die she was going to die on her bed. "Maybe you aren't Rosian." Akira said simply sitting down on the floor across from her.

After 5 hours of just chatting Avery had fallen for Akira more. She learned a lot about Kelpies, the war, and about Akira herself. Things like her birthday, her dreams, her friends. Avery was having the time of her life. This was the most she had spoken to anyone ever.
"Want to play Truth or Dare!? I've never gotten to play it before but I heard about it from the maids." Avery was clapping her hands in excitement. "Sure. BUT I get to go first." Akira held back laughter as Avery rolled her eyes. They both stopped for a second smiling at eachother.
The silence was broken by Akira asking "Truth or dare."
"Dare, wait maybe truth idk Or?" Avery stuttered quickly.
"Whats or-?" Akira tilted her head. Almost like a curious puppy.
"Or is where uhm.." Avery started thinking of something. "Its where you the asker tells me which one to choose."
Akira smiled again. "Then I want you to tell me if you would run away with me."
Avery turned a shade of pink. What does she mean run away with her? Well I have to be truthful, but what if the truth isn't the truth? This is making my head hurt just say no. "Yes."

It was no surprise that Akira was going to ask Avery to leave, It also wasn't a surprise that Avery agreed. Avery had packed some clothing, Water bottles, food and a hunting knife. She also hid a knife in her boot in case Akira or anyone else were to attack. Akira swiftly climbed out the window grabbing any cobble that was slightly out. Avery on the other hand was having trouble. She nearly fell to her death 3 times.
"You slow poke! Have you never ran away before? Hurry uppppp!" Akira complained. Most of it was a joke to lighten the mood and make Avery smile. It worked. When Avery was close enough to the ground she wanted to test if Akira was trustworthy so she pretended to fall off. It was quite terrifying, the rush of the wind that felt like it was trying to push her up even though she knew it was gravity,and her long hair waving in front of her face before covering her eyes as she was caught. Avery pushed her hair aside to see a huge smile on Akira's face. Her eyes were sparkling, she looked so proud and happy to have caught Avery.
"So where would you like to go princess?" Akira put Avery down and then bowed.
"Can we go to a bakery!?" Avery clapped her hands in excitement as Akira nodded standing up from her bow and leading Avery to the bakery.

Avery had bought two cinnabuns for her and Akira. The cinnamon was the perfect amount and the icing wasn't too sweet. Avery loved it so much she asked for a bite of Akiras. Akira laughed at her but gave her the rest of the bun anyway.
After a long walk in the forest it started to get dark, so Akira started setting up camp whilst Avery started a fire.
"Akira?" Avery shivered as a gust of wind hit. She wish she had brought a coat as it was a cold spring for winter was ending. "Hm?" Akira looked behind her. There was a small fire and Avery shivering. "Why do you want to run away, and why with me?" Akira stopped what she was doing walking towards Avery before sitting down beside her. "Well it's hard to explain.." Akira sighed closing her eyes while taking off her coat and putting it on Avery's shoulders. "I kinda messed up my kingdom sending them into panic. So many of us were turning on another, I just decided to leave in the next raid. Better then dying an awful death ya know? I know you were literally trapped but I felt trapped in my life so when I saw you staring at me I thought to myself 'This must be my opening to escape and live a better life.' So far it has came true." Akira felt a little weight on her shoulder as Avery rested her head. "It has come true." Avery whispered as she fell asleep.
