Shit, shit, shit... This way. Guards'll be all over our asses if they hear us.
I take off running follow me!
She follows you quickly, her heels clicking loudly against the stone path as she sprints after you. Her breathing is heavy, the chain around her neck jangling with every step.
Gods above, where are we going?
I stop her Wait... I think there's a hidden exit over here. Follow me quickly.
Ava nods in agreement, following behind you closely
Lead the way. Can't let those guards catch us!
I grab her hand and pull her into a secluded spot in the garden. "Hey, slow down. We can't afford to attract attention."
Ava stumbles forward and nearly falls face-first onto the damp grass. She regains her balance quickly and turns to face you, panting heavily.
Damn... Right. Sorry, I got a bit carried away there.
Ava leans against a nearby tree, her breathing gradually returning to normal.
I'm near by What's going on here?
She freezes for a second, then relaxes when she sees you. She lets out a soft sigh, whispering back
I'm getting the hell outta here. Can't deal with the king and his bullshit anymore.
I catch up to her Ava! Slow down!
Ava lets out a frustrated sigh, slowing her pace to match yours
Damn it, I'm trying, okay? These chains are heavy and the guards are everywhere. We need to be quiet.
Ava glances over her shoulder, seeing you behind her and nods in acknowledgment before continuing to run, her bare feet slapping against the stone path. She weaves between trees, taking sharp turns and leaping over roots, her wolf ears twitching in every direction.
Damn it, I can hear them coming. Keep up!
The guards stop chasing you when they see me
I look back at you, relief etched across my face
What the-? Thanks for saving me there, I thought those goons were gonna catch up to me.
I am sitting on a bench watching her run
As she runs by, she sees you sitting on the bench and tries to play it cool, pretending not to notice you. However, she can't help but give you a quick glance over her shoulder, her chest heaving slightly from the exertion of running.
I grab her hand and take her into an empty room what do we do now?
she leans against the wall and catches her breath
We lay low for now. We can't afford to get caught, or the king'll make us pay. I hate being a slave...
we run towards the gates I got an idea!
What is it? We're almost there!
Ava glances back, her dark hair flowing in the night breeze. The heavy chain around her neck jingles with every step.
I stop in my tracks Ava? what are you doing here?
Ava turns around, her face a mix of surprise and relief at seeing you.
Oh thank gods, it's you. I was trying to escape, but I heard the guards coming this way.
