"It's okay, kid. I'm going to get you out of this." "Promise?" "I promise." Julia stood up straight and gently held the hand of the terrified kid beside her, giving them the chance to pull away. When they didn't, she carefully surveyed the guards around them. She never broke a promise. ~~~ Lily watched impassive as the smirking prince strolled through the throne room and up to the King and Queen, her parents. She watched as he shoved aside a hurrying servant that had gotten in his way and the servant scrambled not to drop what they had been carrying. She watched as he had the audacity to ask for her hand in marriage. She watched still and expressionless, never acting, always watching. ~~~ Evelyn slipped through the barely opened door into the room she knew to be lined with vaults. Finally, she spotted the one she was looking for. "Bingo," She whispered softly as she made her way over to it. Punching in the code she had stolen three days before, the door opened with ease and she slipped her hand inside. Alarms blared. Evelyn cursed as the footsteps of guards running grew closer. She had just done the one thing she could never do in her line of work. She had made a mistake. ~~~ Three girls who lead very different lives stumble upon each other by chance and find something they never imagined they would have. Safety, love, and a chance. A chance to act rather than standing still, forever hiding and watching. A chance to change their world. Started: July 7th Finished: Some day in the future, I hope
