The footsteps of soldiers rang around the area, the pounding of soles on cement.
"I am too late!" Dmitri cried out. He stood up quickly, panting, hyperventilating. Roderia glanced at him in confusion. Wasn't he part of the queens guard? But he was looking upset, shaking and sweating in nerves. His eyes were big and wild.
Dmitri grabbed Roderia's shoulders and pulled her into the armory again. He closed the door and slid the heavy bolt across the wood with a screech. Roderia saw Dmitri tremble in fright.
"I wasn't quick enough!" His hand covered his mouth and nose, the tears going onto his hands and down his wrists. Dmitri looked at Roderia, his blood shot eyes wet. She furrowed her eyebrows, feeling panic set in her stomach. She frantically grabbed Dmitri by the shoulders and shook.
"What is happening?!" She yelled. Dmitri shook his head, back and forth. His breathing became heavy, and Roderia stood confused and scared. "What is going on?" Roderia dug her nails into her palm as she waited. Dmitri looked at the door. The sounds of Soldiers got louder and louder. Roderia felt her internal instincts to run and hide. To find Erwin, and hug him. She wanted to be with him. But no one allows it. The universe doesn't want her to have him.
"I had to get you out." He Said. He calmed down after crying so much. Roderia could still see the tear streaks on his cheeks. Her eyes narrowed.
"So you could give me to the queen?" She accused. Dmitri looked saddened.
"No. That was never part of the plan." He looked apologetic towards her, but she wasn't taking it.
"Bull! You hurt me, knocked me out, almost killed me!" Roderia yelled. Dmitri shook his head and held out his hand in surrender.
"I admit, I have done some pretty bad things to you."
"No kidding."
"But I had to. Or else it would give away where my loyalty lies."
Roderia paused. I had to, he had said. Liesta had to do what she did as well right?
"What about Liesta?" Roderia asked, her throat constraining her words. Dmitri paused for a long time then spoke.
"Her as well." Dmitri glanced again at the door. The footsteps of soldiers got louder and seemed as though they surrounded the building. But the royal armory was part of the castle that the king lived in. The queen as well.
Roderia started to grab knives and daggers. She tossed some to Dmitri.
"Whatever you guys did, tell me later. Lets make it out first." Roderia handled the golden knife and Guyson came out.
"Take me with you." He said. His face was set with determination. Roderia shook her head.
"Too dangerous. I can't risk you."
"What and you think they will spare me? No. Not now because I let you stay alive in this armory. They will kill me when they have the chance. The castle is corrupted. The evil queen can't live." Guyson took hold of his swords. He was wearing armor that was made of layers of leather. He walked over to the leather working corner and tossed a pair of armor to both Roderia and Dmitri.
"Last minute I know, but it is better then nothing." Guyson helped put on the armor and then gave them more supplies. "I have a little basement that connects itself to the main pathway underground. Ever since Annie destroyed it, no one ventured down there so we should be safe." Guyson looked at both of them.
"Its now or never." He said. Roderia swallowed and nodded her head. Dmitri gripped his swords tightly and gave a quick nod as well.
"Lets go." Roderia croaked. Guyson led them into the back armory, and opened a trap door. the wood creaked and the metal hinges squeaked. Puffs of dust flew into her face and she batted it away. The pathway down was dark and Guyson hesitated to go down. Dmitri fidgeted as the sounds of doorways breaking filled the air. Roderia pushed Guyson to the side and climbed down the ladder. The alleyway underneath was dark and vast, until Guyson handed her a lit torch. The flames brought shadows to the walls, making the place feel eerie.
"Let's go!" Dmitri said as he rushed past them. Guyson shut the door closed and locked it. The sounds of soldiers breaking into the armory scared Roderia. They were coming for her. And she is putting two people at risk.
"Why am i being hunted!?" Roderia exclaimed as they ran down the main pathway. Their footsteps echoed in the empty place, their swords jingling loudly.
"The Queen wants you-"
"I know that but i don't understand why...You! or Liesta!" Roderia wheezed for breath. Dmitri looked over at her but continued running. He didn't say anything. he just kept running. Roderia clenched her hand around the grip of the sword and ran.
Guyson Turned left and then right. Holes in the ceiling gave away where they were. They were where Annie smashed the path in. Guyson climbed rocks and stones, Dmitri following. Roderia heard nothing from them when they went up. So Roderia followed into the night.
A gun was pointed at her head.
Soldiers with the Queens banner stood all around her and Guyson. Dmitri was handcuffed and Guyson got whacked in the head. Roderia saw the Queen smirk viciously. Then the last image she saw was Erwin tied up and showing a painful expression.
