aftermath (sashannarcy)

Chapter 18 <3

hi guys, sorry for not posting for a little bit, heres a large chapter to make up for it 👼

As soon as the guards left the hallway next to our cell, we made a break for it. Opening the lock with the key marcy left for us and sneaking out as silently as possible, once again blowing out the candle in the cell to avoid detection. We crept through the hall, breaking or blowing on any light source as we went past. It would be a lot harder to track us if it was dark. Lady olivia and general yunan guided us into the back half of the castle, where only andrias and the core were allowed to enter. 

This is where the two newts', once loyal to the king, knowledge stopped. Marcy had obviously thought this through well, as a letter was conveniently placed under the door, giving directions towards the kings throne room. they made their way through the winding corridors, sneaking past the door where marcy had specified to be very quiet. no specified reason why, which made the girls worried. they paused, hearing familiar voices coming from the chamber. "my leige, it appears that the prisoners have escaped once again. would you like me to search-" andrias was interrupted, or at least that's what the gang thought as andrias abruptly stopped speaking. 

"you let these teenage girls, and a bunch of FROGS, escape TWICE!? andrias i should have you slaughtered. " "my lord i-" "andrias this is unacceptable. i will look for the prisoners myself, seeing as i am the only capable being in this entire FUCKING city." 'darcy' lost her cool, and stormed out of the room, discreetly gesturing for the group to follow. marcy suddenly broke character, out of reach for andrias to hear. "boy i love acting! i get to be as much of a little jerk as i want!!" she chuckled, a little maliciously, and did a little skip in the air. we knew it was still our marcy inside, just happy to be getting revenge. 

minutes later, we found ourselves in the throne room, the same room where marcy died, the first time... her whole demeanor changed, and she shivered. "my nightmares were filled with this room, lets skidaddle. " she mumbles, and clutches onto anne and sashas hands. anne notices how much rougher marcys hands have become, and immediately her mind begins to race, pondering all the horrible things marcy had done while under the cores control. she didnt want to think about it, and by the looks of it, marcy and sasha were thinking the same. 

trying to find their way out, as olivia and yunan didnt know this part of the castle, they stumbled across a room full of tapestries. they entered cautiously, wary of any traps set by andrias; rooms like these normally arent so out in the open. sasha immediately began looking behind the large tapestries, as that 'nosiness' is what helped her and grime discover that andrias was corrupt in the first place. she turned, and to her surprise, the whole gang was following her lead. she secretly gleamed with pride as the gang was finally respecting her. one by one, the tapestries were removed from their places, dust gathering around the pile of fabric. that was until the final tapestry was taken from its place, hanging on the largest wall. to their horror, a picture depicting 3 girls; one pink, one green, and one blue, fighting a large blue newt with a large orange sword...
