The Thief and the Royal

No

Part 9!! I wish I had more published this past week but sadly that wasn't the case. I'll see how many I can do tonight and the rest of the weekend.

Will's POV(Finally)

It's been a week and now I'm aloud to leave the house. I'm on strict orders from Britt and Shelby that I can't do any thieving for a few more days but other than that I can have a life. At least what's left of it. I limped around for a bit, my side still aching a bit. We were chilling in Shelby's house, planning the wedding. 

"All citizens come forth!" I heard Israel shout. Shelby got up leaving the house while Graser and I snuck to the window. "Taxes are coming tomorrow, so collect 200 coins by tomorrow when we come to collect or your going to the cellars." Another guard yelled. Israel walked around looking at all the worried faces seeing as we haven't came to give them anything. "Your dismissed!" The annoying, head guard belted, and everyone ran off. 

"What the hell are we going to do?" Graser yelled as Shelby shut the front door. 

"I have no clue." I mumbled sitting back down. 

"I really don't like this, but Will you need to go back out there with Graser and pass out some money. Seeing as we have none, you have to get some." Shelby sighed sitting down looking at more pictures. 

"I'll go, Will you stay here." Graser claimed getting up to grab his cloak. I heard a bunch of shouting before Graser ran off into the street without me, or a rope to get to the castle. 

"Idiot." I mumbled grabbing a cloak and an extra rope before running to catch him. "Your an idiot." I yelled at him in a hushed voice as I caught up to him laying against the castle wall. 

"Yeah I might have needed this." He smiled throwing it up to a balcony. 

"We don't have long, guards are changing shifts now so we have to get up fast." I explained throwing mine as well. 

"Be careful Will. If it comes down to it, I'll stay behind. You need to get out as soon as any trouble shows up, you'll get me out when your better, I know you will." Graser sighed starting to inch up the rope. I followed suit, pulling myself up. "Alright, stay quiet. If you get as much as you can hold, I want to you to visit Liam, he can help you down." He spoke walking into a room with a metal door. 

"This is it?" I asked looking around. Okay yep, it definitely is. Gold, silver, and diamond was everywhere. We both grabbed as much as we could, but footsteps surrounded the halls. "Graser, those are guards." I whispered slightly freaking out. His eyes widened and I looked around for a plan. "I have an idea, but its probably more than likely to not work." I looked him in the eye. 

Liam's POV

I heard the guards running around shouting at someone to come back to them. I looked up from the book I was reading and Will burst through the door, still limping. He slammed the door shut behind him, locking it. "I'm so sorry." He mumbled walking closer to me. 

"What? Why?" I asked confused. 

"Whatever you do, don't except Arthur's proposal, and know that I love you." He whispered quickly kissing me. 

"Why would I? I have you now." I smiled at him.

"I'm so very, very sorry." He said again, before I could answer Arthur bursts through the door, guards filing in after. 

"Get him!" Israel yelled.

It all seemed to be going in slow motion. Will put his back to the guards, the door, and Graser running out the window on the other side of the barrier, now all guards were in here. Will started to run, breaking through the glass doors to my balcony and jumping. "WILL!" I yelled running to check over the edge after realizing what happened. There was no rope tied, no way for him to survive a 2 story jump. I looked down to see the worst sight in history. There he laid, on the ground floor, blood surrounding him. Graser ran up and quickly slowed falling to his knees besides his friend. 

Arthur was beside me watching this go down along with myself and Israel. 

"C'mon, no, no, no, no, no." I heard Graser, shaking his my lover's lifeless body. I started to sob as he didn't move. Graser stood up with Will in his arms and ran off, maybe to Harmony Hallow, or maybe to the middle of nowhere. I sat down with my back against the railing of the balcony he just jumped off of. 

"Well that's one of the two problems we had." Israel laughed. 

"Someone go clean up that mess!" I heard Arthur shout but it was as muffled to me. My eyesight was getting blurry and black dots started to go in my field of vision. The last thing I heard was Graser's voice yelling before I passed out, enveloped in blackness.
