Evelyn was on her heels and saw the passage. She runs into the door head first, "You can't get away, your majesty" She says in a mocking voice.
anyone up for a quick rp?
“Oh, no, she can, but I can catch her!” Kalani shouts
"Which way to the palace… which way to the palace…?" Alysha thought aloud, making several complex turns.
Evelyn clmibs up to the roof and starts to follow the queen again
“Stop!” Kalani shouts!
"Make me!"
“I’m just trying to help you!”
"Is that right!" Evelyn skids, knocking the queen's feet from under her and pressing one of her knives to her throat.
“Do it!” Kalani said, smiling
"Ohhh…" The back of her head had smacked the ground ruthlessly and now Alysa was seeing double. The dagger tight to her throat didn't help either. "Hey, what do you want?" she asked the girl quickly.
"What else… My queen. Money." Evelyn scoffs. She presses her blade deeper to the throat
"I'll give you money!" Her breath hitched as the blade went deeper.
"Name the price." Evelyn used the other to slice a small cut on the queen's cheek (Im channeling Inago Montaya lol)
(Lol, I love the Princess Bride!)
She hissed quietly between her teeth. Not even a month being queen, and this? "Anything!" At this point, she was willing. She had to stay alive. She had to.
"Offer me nobility." Another slash but on the queen's neck
"Fine, just don't kill me!" Oh boy, your secret is going to be free now!
Evelyn leans forward to stare into the queen's eyes. Then she was gone. A cloud of dust flew up from where she was once.
She sprints to the shadows of a nearby building and watches.
Alysha blinked and scrambled to her feet. Almost as soon as she recovered, her breath came in sharp, ragged pants, as if she'd just ran an incredibly long distance. The girl had gone, so she figured she was safe.
Her eyes turned from their natural amber to a dark shade purple, almost black, and she tilted her head back so that her face tilted towards the sky. Light… She strained too hard. A surge of power shocked her and she fell roughly onto her hands and knees. "I'm getting weaker," she murmured.
A fuzzy white noise filled her ears.
"Join us, sister," said a voice only heard to her.
"I will never," she spat back.
"You will regret this," a second voice put in.
"I don't care!"
"Do you not care for your kingdom?" a third voice tempted.
"I do, and I'll prove it by banishing you forever."
"Dear sister, no chains can hold us."
The white noise disappeared and she sighed. Another day, she'd held them off. It wouldn't be long before they found her, though.
Evelyn had somehow pulled her cloak over herself again and hood over her eyes to shade them out. She kept an eye on the queen from a distance
Alysha touched her face and throat where Evelyn's knife had cut. She sighed, genuinely unsure of what to do next.
"Hm…" Evelyn cursed herself for this but hunched her back and waddled close to the queen, putting on an old ladies voice, "Are you lost my dear?" She hated going incognito but she had to to not raise suspicion. especially after what just happened. Her white hair swung forward, aiding in the illusion of elderly.
Alysha whipped around. "N-No. I'm…" She quickly straightened herself and spoke smoothly. "I'm fine. Thank you."
Evelyn gives a long and drawn out fake gasp, "My dear! You're bleeding!"
Alysha subconsciously touched her throat. "I'll be fine."
"My dear! Those are deep! What happened? Come come. Ill lead you to the castle." Evelyn offered an arm to the queen. Her back had started to ack but she didnt dare break character
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm afraid I have some business to attend to," Alysha insisted.
"You need to get home child! Those cuts!"
"I appreciate your concern, but I promise you, I will be fine," she assured the woman.
Evelyn pureses her lip, "Well alright, child. Now just remember… Not everything may be as it seems." Evelyn waves and slowly walks off
Alysha narrows her eyes. That cloak… the white hair… She flicks her wrist and the cloak flys off of Evelyn. "You?!"
