Kipp, who had panicked when Brayden came in and stayed below the counter, finally stood. He decided to close the shop and walked to the door but paused and stared out the window at nothing instead.
The Royal Lie // Closed // Stalkers welcome
He'd gasp. "Wha-Wait…Who-" He'd sigh and say to himself" Thanks…" He'd start to tear up " Where are you Lily.. You were the last part of my family…My real family…" Wait maybe one of the rebbles thought lily was the princess…". He'd think and think forgetting about evrything around him and eventually falling asleep.
(I’m so confused I was gone for like 5 hours and now idk whats happening)
(Lol I'll pm u)
Andrea felt prepared. Moreso than she had ever felt before. She supposed it wasn't that difficult to feel prepared when she was usually quite disorganised, however, she brushed that thought aside. Her eyes flickered to her current outfit. Though stylish and somewhat practical, there was room for improvement. She traded in her day-skirt for a pair of trousers with a leather belt that had pouches for a few bits and bobs she deemed necessary. Her blouse and vest were fine as they were and she made sure she was taking her better quality knapsack. Andy then took out one of her most prized possessions- a custom-made cloak from Rosalind that allowed her to store her bow and quiver somewhat discretely. She carefully put it on but left the hood down.
Unable to wait any longer, the young woman grabbed a few snacks from her kitchen and decided to head to the town square that Jekyll said he and his brother would meet her and any others they managed to recruit. She opted to stay towards the outer rim of the square and observe people as they went about their day while she waited.
Brayden Would wake up with a head-acke. He'd realize it was almost mid-night and tun to the castle but he'd bump into Andrea on the way and drop the sack of gold coins on the flore. He'd not be paying atention and he'd continuue running to the castle.
Petra made her way to the square, spotting the girl who Jekyll had been talking to before she had barged in the day before. She waited at the edge of the square, at the opposite end from the girl, glancing around for the twins.
He'd look and gasp. He'd run to her hideing his face. "Thank you..so much…" He'd put the coins in his pocket and say " Brayden Heart.. Ray for short..I must go..see you leter.." He'd continue running to the Castle.
Petra tilted her head curiously as the man headed toward the castle. If he's going to the castle, then he's definitely not part of the rebellion. She thought, returning to her search for Jekyll and Hyde.
Jekyll and Hyde watched this exchange from their spot up in the trees branches. Jekyll smirked at the encounter, and managed to not burst out in crude snickers. Hyde rolled his eyes, knowing that his twin probably saw this as humorous. (They won’t ‘reveal themselves’ until everyone is there.)
(Okie!)
Andrea sighed as the man left and moved back to where she had been standing. She scanned the area and locked eyes with the woman from the alley she had met when speaking with Jekyll. She was on the opposite side of the square so Andy decided to approach her, figuring it'd be best if she knew who her companions were going to be.
Brayen would go into the castle and head towereds the bed rooms. He'd get dreased in black and go outside and sit by the tree and say " God..How long can they sit there for..?" He'd sigh wanting to forget what had happen to lily. All he knew is that he must keep Jade safe and find lily…But he needs help with it… But he knows There all rebbles so he couldn't find anyone else. " Holy.." He'd see an owl with a note headed for the castle and he'd catch it and see his name. He'd want to read it but he'd want to read it tomarrow. He'd go back to sitting by the tree and he'd still be stairing at the twins.
Kipp stepped out finally and managed to lock the door even though his hands were shaking. He hurried out into the square and quickly scanned the people there.
Petra's eyebrows raised slightly as the girl started in her direction. "Hey." She said when the girl got near. "If you don't know where they are, they're in the tree." She looked pointedly at the tree that the twins were sitting in. Thanks to her skills, she had easily noticed their hiding spot.
"Petra." Petra replied, pulling two muffins from her bag. "Here." She held one out to Andrea. "We'll need energy if we're gonna get into that castle."
He'd hear and jolt up. He'd run past them and go into the casle. While he'd pass them he'd say " I knew you weren't with the king…" He'd tell the king that they were planning to brake into the castle. He'd get them out from the back and they would go to Brayden's house to hide.
Petra's eyes widened as she realized what he meant. "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" She muttered to herself as she ran after him, cutting through alleyways, and jumping wooden fences. She even ran across a few rooftops. She cut him off in an alley and pinned him against the wall. "Nice try." She said, with a laugh. "But you're not going anywhere."
(Ill reply later I have to do somthing…)
(Okie!)
(… so I’m assuming we’re kidnapping Brayden and forcing him to be our way into the castle in exchange for finding his sister bc that’s the only plot line that makes sense to me right now. But just know I still have pretty big stuff planned so,,, y’all ain’t ready)
Andrea took the muffin from Petra gratefully, putting it into one of her pouches as she wasn’t particularly hungry yet. Her eyes widened as the man who had dropped his coins dashing past them and whispering that he’d overheard them. Andy went to follow, but fell short as Petra managed to catch up with him.
So Andrea remained in the square, peering up at the tree that Petra had pointed out to her earlier. From beneath her cloak, Andrea withdrew her bow and knocked an arrow into place. She aimed, and fired into the tree, the arrow lodging itself into the branch next to the twins. She was done waiting- if they were going to plan, they were going to start planning now.

(I guess so- loll)
“Now, now ladies. You’re both pretty.” Jekyll quipped as he and Hyde approached the group. Everyone they had recruited was there, and the oldest of the Heart siblings had somehow fell into their lap. Hyde squinted his eyes. Where was his sister? As far as he knew, the boy never let Lily out of his sight. Suddenly, a plan started to form.
“Brayden Heart,” Hyde started, casual and stoic as always, “can I ask you something?” He wondered politely. “If you don’t want to answer, you don’t need to. But I’d appreciate if you fulfilled my curiosity.” He added on as an afterthought. “Why do you stay loyal to the King and Queen?”
Petra glared at Brayden, whom she had dragged back to the square from the alleyway. No one had stopped her, of course. She was an infamous thief after all. She held one of her daggers threateningly, daring Brayden to try something. She'd have to kill him if he did, of course. Couldn't let him spoil their plans, right?

omg pretend Jekyll laughed really loudly about the arrow almost hitting them and and Hyde like clutching his chest in surprise and then Jekyll full on jumps off the tree branch and Hyde climbs down and then what I typed happens.
Kipp trotted up the group and stood there silently. He wasn't sure if he actually liked any of them, they all seemed too snappy for him. And he'd only talked to Hyde.
