Luna: steps forward, eyes fierce Yo, can't believe it's you! Long time, huh?
VelvetShadow
a royal guard enters the room
narrows her eyes at the guard Oh, great. Just what we need, a reminder of the power dynamics here. You still think you're untouchable, don't you?
VelvetShadow
tries to look out the window
grabs a nearby lamp and smashes it against the guard's head Well, you wanna play rough? Let's fucking do this!
VelvetShadow
ay what the fuck did you do that for
smirks That's right, baby. Don't underestimate me. Now, listen up, my friend. We've got some catching up to do.
VelvetShadow
the guard falls unconscious
kicks the unconscious guard You think that's gonna stop me? No way, my friend. We're getting out of here, and I've got a plan.
VelvetShadow
what happened to you
grabs VelvetShadow's arm and pulls them towards a hidden door It's a long story, but let's cut to the chase.
VelvetShadow
ok
leads VelvetShadow through a series of secret passages, her eyes sparkling with excitement Alright, brace yourself.
VelvetShadow
they finally get outside
grinning Welcome to freedom, my friend! But we ain't done yet. We gotta get far from this crazy place.
VelvetShadow
where are we going
points to a waiting car across the street There's a car waiting for us. Trust me, this is all part of the plan.
VelvetShadow
they get in the car and drive off into the night
leans back in the car seat, smirking Now we're talking, amigo. The open road, no guards, just us against the world.
VelvetShadow
where were you all this time
As Luna and VelvetShadow drive off into the night, they realize that their reunion has only led to more danger and intrigue.
VelvetShadow
i mean you just disappeared without a trace
smirks Well, babe, let's just say I had to lay low for a while. Couldn't exactly have the royal family on my ass, you know what I mean?
VelvetShadow
yeah
rolls her eyes Look, it's not like I had a choice.
VelvetShadow
i understand
leans forward, gripping the edge of the car seat Listen, VelvetShadow, there's something you need to know.
VelvetShadow
what
pauses for dramatic effect You remember that night, right? The night we shared before everything went south? Well, there's a secret I've been keeping.
VelvetShadow
what
takes a deep breath That night, we made a baby, babe. And the royals, they found out. They took my kid from me, tried to cover it up.
VelvetShadow
and then you ran away to protect your child
clenches her fists Damn straight I did! I couldn't let them raise my baby, VelvetShadow. I had to fight for my child's future, even if it meant disappearing.
