Rustle rustle

Athy wiggles around underneath the blanket covering both her and Athan. Unwittingly to Athy, Athan wakes up. He however wants to ignore the faint whispers of rambling seeping from behind him so he's facing away and tries to fall asleep. Athy on the other hand is deciding which plan will benefit her (she's thinking about Athan somewhat), survival.

Athy sighs LOUDLY

Ok, so plan A failed. This leaves plan B: save enough money to escape the palace before turning 18... this is still possible with Athan here still alive by my side... Oh please let him live. Claude seemed to have no intention to kill me the instant we saw him. So should I be collecting more pretties?

Hmm...

Athy starts mumbling every 5 words or so expressing her distress which unfortunately for Athan is a nuisance towards his attempt to sleep.

Oh my god be quiet! I'm trying to sleep! Which I no longer can now do...!

Great! Athan perfect timing, what should we do now that plan A failed? Plan B, right, right?

Huh...? Just continue acting all embarrassingly cute in front of him while continuing plan B seeing as we can no longer avoid his attention. YOU are going to act cute though just to clarify, no way in hell am I going to put up with that act every time I'm in front of him.

C'mon Athan! Are you really going to make your sister do this alone have you no shame!

Yep, that's pretty much what I was planning for you to do.  Think about it. If you be 'daddy's little girl you just might get close enough to him personally so he won't kill you without a thought. 

I guess so...

Athy starts thinking about the benefits in her head as well as the scenarios that she would have to go through...

"GAAAHHHH!!"

Oh my god shut the fuck up! So loud. All you have to do is let go of your pride as a thirty-year-old...

Never mind sounds rough, scream all you want, it's not like I can sleep.

Uuuhhhhggh, alright, I'll carry out both plans while you do whatever the hell you're doing.

-Sometime later after they've gone asleep-



Rustle rustle

Did Athy wake up again just to ramble once more?

Creak...

The window opened.

Step step

Shss, shss

Two people. The first person's footsteps are light indicating masking the sound of their steps, so experienced though not much seeing as I can still hear him. The other person is just a plain amateur... 

This must be where I get kidnapped, sigh...

"Menier, sir, uh, boss, do we just grab both of them and run?" asked a seemingly confused voice, who wore the figure of a small and skinny yet sturdy at the same time male, draped in black hunched over towards another man.

"Fennis, we went over this tens of times already. We take one, the boy as he is the heir. Even though we aren't from the Obelia empire the hierarchy system is still the same." affirms an annoyed and rising angered voice who is muscled, tall with a delicate ambiance surrounding him.

They're from another empire... That would explain their idiotic choice of kidnapping a neglected child of a murderous emperor and demanding ransom from him on top of that. Quite funny if I have to say. Anyways they don't seem to be much trouble. The poison should be quick to react if grazed with their skin.

The inferior one of the pair of intruders, Fennis, walks towards Athan's bedside to wake him up and then knock him unconscious. The man slides his hand underneath Athan lifting him up roughly in order to wake him, though after not doing so, he proceeds to shake him roughly readying his left hand to cover his mouth. After various futile attempts, he walks over towards his 'boss', Menier, to explain the wait-up.

"Boss the child isn't waking. Carry him as is?"

"No that'd be too risky during the travel. We'll tie up his mouth."

Lucky! So glad they don't have an anesthetic invented yet.

Menier readies a long piece of fabric, this distracts Fennis seeing as he is looking away from Athan. Athan takes this chance. He rubs gently on the man's knuckles that are holding him, gradually inducing a numbness to his nerves. During this Athan finds a slit that he could graze with his knife. So Athan took out his pocket knife from his sleeve and the small tub of poison from the other sleeve, having the knife scrape some onto its edge. He slits the person's skin.

"Oww, fuck!" yells out Fennis. Followed immediately afterward with Menier moving up in front of him covering his mouth.

"Don't you say a fucking word or you'll wake up the maids."

Athan sees the hand as a chance ball and even though it's risky he slashes it by moving his body behind the scrawny man's head lifting up his weight in a swift motion before anybody could realize, then piercing Menier's hand thoroughly in hopes of going deep enough, penetrating the back of Fennis's throat to kill him as he suffocates. Athan tries his best efforts to force his weight onto the knife though being in a horizontal position, has to fight against gravity. He pushes the knife towards his body before being picked up by Menier after a quick panic of pain.

"Hah, shit, so the brat was awake? And seems he's quite smart."

"You're just a kid though so you can't do much heh. Looks like your dumbass plan failed brat." says the man towards Athan who is wearing a crazed expression. He is smiling as if impressed with his eyes wide open in surprise.

Looks like I severely overestimated this dude. Going back on his word of not talking a minute after. But shit looks like I'm in his grasp now though. A good easily won fight would've occurred had I'd been older sadly.

"What not gonna try any more tricks? Pff, as expected of a child. Just a nuisance."

Tch any minute now the poison should be acting in.

"Boss, I think it's time to go."

"Yes, our departure should've been quicker. Lets hurry. The boy is starting to retaliate."

Why isn't it working...? He should have dropped by now. His hand was pierced and covered in the paste! Why won't he drop dead already!

"I'll go first to scope out the area." advises Fennis.

He approaches the window perching his right leg on the stand about to put his grip on the sides to get a jump but helplessly falling does he go. His planned grip went like water holding no gripping leaving him to fall to the ground.

SPLAT!

Dumb bastard. thank goodness for the knuckles giving way. Now it's just this jackass to get away from.

"Heh, he died quickly. Thank god, I don't like partners, they're so annoying. And be quiet. Oh wait I have a solution for that." creepily asserts Menier.

Wait, no! Why is nothing happening?! 

The man puts Athan over one side of his body bringing his left hand towards the back of Athans's neck, while having Athan kick and punch his back Menier then-

Seriously the fuck?! I have to escape AND find my way back if he knocks me out right now. NO WAI-

WHAM!


Authors note: The kidnapping scenario will be split up over like 3-5 chapters all 1000-1500 words to publish these quicker.
