The Stories of Avalyn Hawke and Fenris

Captured

Captured

He had not liked the strange elf's plan from the start, but he had gone along with it because she had asked it of him. Well, now she had been captured by the Duke and was somewhere deep inside the Chateau. The worst of his problems wasn't that. Oh, Maker, no. It was the other person she had decided to bring along on this lovely trip out of the city.

Ever after all of his warnings, Ava still dragged Anders with them almost everywhere. Even though he had come in handy during the Hunt, but he did not want the Abomination any where near him. Of course, now he had no choice but to work with it to find her.

The damned Chateau was massive and there was no telling where exactly Ava and the Elf were being held. They had been going in circles, even if the Abomination hadn't realized it yet.

Finally, Fenris had enough and stopped in mid run.

The Abomination caught up to him, breathing hard, "well, about time you slowed down."

It took all of his will power not to plunge his hand into the other man's chest. Also, the thought of Ava may need the Abomination's aid kept his hand still.

"We have been going around in circles for the last twenty minutes."

"Have we? Well, I've been following you. So you've been leading us in circles."

Fenris growled as he moved away from him. This wasn't going to end well unless they found Ava. He took a deep breath. His anger could not take complete control right now.

"Do you think I'm going to rust you to you to find Hawke?"

the mage glared at him slightly, "I might do better than you. You're the one who has been leading us in circles remember."

Fenris took a step back, but he couldn't stop his markings form glowing.

Anders began to reach for his staff, "don't even think about it, Elf."

Fenris turned away from him. Maker, how did Ava do it? How did she deal with all of them all of the time? He took another deep breath.

"We need to get a move on. Standing around won't help us find Hawke."

Closing his eyes, Fenris slowly began to ignore the stupid mage. He knew Anders was right, but he needed to think. He had found her once in the Deep Roads, and he could do so again. The only problem was he didn't know how he had done it. Maker, he wished he knew.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and began walking. Fenris, didn't pay attention to Anders as he began screaming at him. Fenris soon began to run.

Anders soon followed after him, but Fenris never heard him.

She was beyond angry at Tallis. What was it with elves and bait and switches? She would need to talk to Fenris about this later.

Ava was more angry at herself than Tallis. Fenris had told her that the name was Qunari. They had come to the conclusion on their way to the Chateau that she a spy or something.

So here she sat on the bench trying to remain, holding her face in her hands, while trying to remain calm. Her hope lay in Fenris finding her. He would find her. Of course, he had only done it a few times, even if he only remembered the one.

Ava looked up as Tallis stood up and walked over to the cell's gate.

"I'm not waiting any more. Let's see if I can get us out of here."

Ava lowered her hands, "you actually have a set of lock picks?"

Tallis turned slightly to face her, while working on the lock, "of course. I always have at least two on me. Good thing the Duke's men didn't find my last set. Don't you have multiple sets?"

"Fenris has my spare set."

Tallis turned back to the lock.

Sighing, Ava swung her legs to lay on the bench. She couldn't hear anything but Tallis working on the lock. Where Fenris and Anders killing each other yet? Why had she brought both of them? Fenris she knew why. He wouldn't had let her come without him. Anders? Well, she figured he would come in handy during the Hunt, and of course, he had. Thank the Maker, they hadn't argue the entire time. Fenris had done his best to stay way from the mage.

Slowly over the sound of Tallis working on the lock, Ava could hear the sound of bare feet on the stone floor. Boots weren't too far behind.

Ava sat up and swung her legs over the edge of the bench. Standing quickly, she walked to the gate.

She looked in the direction of the sound, "Fenris, over here!"

The sounds got louder and then even louder.

Quickly, Tallis stood up and pulled her away from the gate, "gate away from there. You don't know if it's them or a guard."

Ava struggled against her and pulled away, smirking, "you don't know Fenris."

Ava walked back to the gate as Fenris came into view. She turned and smiled at Tallis just before Fenris phrased through the bars.
