With Robin.

12

"finally" I roll my eyes as I stand,

"hey, just be glad I even agreed to do this" he whispers as he fiddles a set of keys,

"don't act like you're doing this for me" I grumble as I make my way over to the gate while brushing myself off,

"would you be quiet, if we get caught it's both are heads" he hisses, as he slowly opens the door with lets out a loud groaning sound making him visibly winch, "follow close if you get caught I'm leaving without you" he threatens,

"glad to know you care" I say sarcastically, holding my heart,

"com'on, we don't have all day" he growls as he turns to run down the corridor,

We run silently down the corridor he was pushing me down a few hours ago. He takes a right at the stairs catching me slightly off guard but I don't question it, it is his home anyway. He comes to a quick stop causing me to dump into his back, he sends me a quick glare before turning to peer around the corner. He straightens up and continues to run, I roll my eyes and run behind him.

We run out the building into the night air, it seems considerably darker here then it ever gets at moonacre even in the dead of night. Robins head whips up to a wall about 20 feet away to us and curses under his breath, I follow his gaze to see the hawk watching us closely,

"hurry" he hisses as he picks up from jogging to running, I follow behind without trouble. I hear fast footsteps behind us, so doing Robin a favour I run in front of him to make it look as if he's chasing me, "what are you doing?" he hisses as the shouting behind us gets closer,

"you a favour, trust me" I snap back. I run in the lead, taking us to a high wall. I look over it to see how steep it is and curse when I see the steep drop, I whip my head behind myself to see about 30 people standing in front of me with Robin at the front trying to mask his nervousness.

"what now princess?" he asks with a smirk, glad he doesn't hesitate to throw me under the bus. Instead of answering I jump up onto the wall, Robin looks at me with worried eyes knowing I'm his chance to find Loveday. He takes a step forwards and I take on back, he stops and stares at me as if he were trying to understand my plan when in actual fact I don't have one.

We look at each other for a few seconds just waiting for someone to make the next move, all the while more and more people add on to the back of the crowd. "Uncle Benjamin was being a meany" I say looking him directly in the eye hoping he'll catch my drift, a look of recognition crosses his face and I know he understand. Suddenly the rock under my feet gives our making me fall backwards with a squeal, Robin is the first to get to the wall sticking his head over and watching me as I fall through the air.

I land with a hard thud then roll down the bank that the castle rests on, hitting every bump on the way. I stand, ignoring my body begging me not to and run into the woods.

I run for what seems like years, hearing shouting coming from behind me. I try my best not to let the burning of my probably broken wrist and twisted ankle slow me down but it's easier said then done. I pick up my speed as the trees start to look familiar, I've never had a good sense of direction but it's like I've been running these woods my entire life.

I reach the spot I meet Robin, when I was running away from my uncle and hide in some bushes to keep form being found by the wrong De'noir. I slouch and feel my tiredness and injuries catching up to me, I can sleep though not now.

Robin's head appears from the trees and he scans the area, I stay still to be sure he's alone. Seeing it's only him I stand up from the bushes, catching his attention, a look of relief crosses his face before he replaces it with his usual pissed off one.
