Another way out (Primrose x Therion)

Primrose watched as Helgenish walked outside the tavern. 

"Great" Primrose said to herself, "Now what am I supposed to do?"

"Umm Prim?" Came a voice from behind her.

Primrose turned around to see Yusufa.

"Prim, I don't know why you want to get out" Yusufa said looking at her friend, "But I can create a distraction so that Master Helgenish won't see you leave." 

"Really!? Thank you Yusufa." Primrose said with a small smile.

"Unfortunately I don't know how you'll get out." Yusufa said sadly, "You'll have to figure that part out on your own." 

"That's alright." Primrose said looking around, "I'll figure something out."

"Good luck! I'll go make sure Master Helgenish doesn't see you leave." Yusufa said walking away.

Primrose started looking around for a way out. Unfortunately there were only to ways out.There was the front door that Helgenish was guarding, and there was a window upstairs. There was no way she could get out the front door, and the stairs made squeaking noises when someone went up them. The stairs were also guarded by two guards. 

"If you're trying to get out I might be able to help."

Primrose turned around to see a guy with silver hair and torn purple clothes.

"My name is Therion." He said, "So would you like a way out or not?"

"How can I trust you?" Primrose asked.

"Because I hate that man as much as you do." Therion said grinning, "And I'll do anything to destroy his business."

"Alright." Primrose said.

Therion nodded to the bartender, who tossed him a key. 

"This way." Therion said bringing Primrose through a door into a hall of doors.

"So what did Helgenish do to you?" Primrose asked as she followed Therion.

"We had made a deal" Therion said, "I would help him with something and in return he would make sure I wasn't captured."

"Captured by who?" Primrose asked getting more curious.

"Soldiers." Therion said studying the doors as he walked, "I'm a thief."

"And Helgenish broke his part of the deal." Primrose said starting to some how hate Helgenish more then she already did.

"Yeah." Therion said starting to move a little faster, "He found out that their was bounty on my head and decided he wanted that money, so he told some soldiers where I was." 

"He favors money over everything else." Primrose said walking faster to try to keep up with Therion.

"Yeah." Therion said, "That's for sure."

Theron suddenly stopped next to a door.

"Here we are." Therion said taking the key out of his pocket.

Therion quickly put the key in the key hole and turned it. He opened the door, which opened into a back alley. 

"I never knew about this!" Primrose said walking out the door and into the alley. 

"So what do you intend to do now?" Therion asked.

"Escape from Helgenish." Primrose responded looking down the alley. 

"Mind if I come?" Therion asked.

"Why do you want to come?" Primrose asked.

"I have my reasons." Therion said, "So can I come along?"

"Alright." Primrose said, "Just don't slow me down."

"I don't worry I won't." Therion said, " But we should probably go now."

Primrose nodded and they started out of the alley, they both didn't know how big of an adventure they were getting into.
