The princess before

Chapter 18

Luna keeps an emotionless face as well as nightmare, Luna takes the lead walking and stopping directly in front of the man nightmare standing behind her as a guard.

Luna stares up at the man, mentally cursing herself for being short. Though being short doesn't stop her from letting of a killer aura enough to intimidate anyone. The mysterious man gulps quietly, it was almost unnoticeable, sadly Luna was trained to notice these small cues and interactions. She groans mentally, glaring up at the man disappointed she didn't find who she wanted to find.

"Hello miss. How may I serve you." The man managed to say with grinding teeth, almost, as if he was irritated.
Luna rolls her eyes leaning over as she snatches the hood of the man ripping it off, this startled the man as he wasn't expecting it from the small girl. Luna looks up at his face, "ugh. God damnit Samuel! Got my hopes up and everything." Luna says in a annoyed voice, the man rolls his eyes "oh shut up Luna. Jesus time doesn't make you less annoying does it? Oh. And that would be around twenty pieces." He takes back his cloak, Luna let's him having not need for it. "Where the hell is Alex." She demands leaving no room for objections, the guy pauses for a spilt second before putting his cloak back on, "I'm afraid 'captain' Luna, he's dead." He waves his hand on captain, almost in a mock bow, Luna goes emotionless.

"I'm terribly sad to hear that. Where is he?" She slams a small pouch on coins on the stand making Samuel flinch, he looks down at it for a second, He tried to swipe it quickly only to meet nightmare stab the stand with a dagger to close to his hand for comfort. "Oops! I missed your hand!" Nightmare smiles sickly at the man, he grunts "fine I'll show you. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you." He rolled his eyes again before grabbing the bag and walking backing into an alley, h waves for the two to follow.

Luna and nightmare follow Samuel down at the alley, surprisingly it lead to a forest, it was a very dark forest, with many trees to cover the sun, and many bushes to hide pretors, Luna looks around her making a map of the forest with every turns they take and every tree the cross, eventually Samuel stops in front of a stone wall add of small pebbles to huge rocks, Luna leans back in her leg crossing her arms "so Sammy..I didn't see Alex." Samuel groans "don't. Call. Me. Sammy." Luna chuckles deeply "whatever you say. Sammy." Samuel shakes his head trying to calm himself when he takes out a golden dagger, Nightmare protectively gets in front if Luna not knowing what the guy was planning, only for Samuel to stab a crack in the wall...which seemed to perfectly fit the knife...

He turns the knife, a small 'click' was heard before a small passage opened, Samuel climbs in without locking back at the two, Luna grins stepping around Nightmare and into the hole in the wall, Nightmare sighed, but followed.

The door closed behind the three leaving them in a dimly lit tunnel, weird laughter was coming from the end of the hall, along with bright lights, to Luna, it sound like a party, or some social gathering. And to her, there was only one reason all these pirates and thief's would show up..

This was a social trade, where the two types of people could sell their stolen items to others for a quick coin... but not only would they sell object to random people, they would sell people, as it was a gathering of thief's and pirates..

It was basically the black market. Let's not get pickpocketed yah?
