"My lady, you shouldn't run across the hallway!!!"
"Your academic lessons begins in thirty minutes. We cannot let you flee from your responsibilities once more!!"
"Please watch your step, Lady Elowen!!"
"Ughh.. I am going crazy! We need to get her back indoors for studies!! Hurry and block the path!"
Screech!!
Gliding through the plated floor in pace, a girl with curly golden hair and large hazel eyes was all the soul could see. Her features had a shred of curiosity and with sparkling eyes of imagination she picked up her momentum once more.
Elowen's eyes gleamed brighter as the chase heightened, and being cornered by the guards was just a treat to her unnerving sense of adventure.
In her colorful layered dress with playful patterns, she scoffed at the efforts of the noble men and sprang into action. A smirk lay waste as the effect of her playful demeanor, and with sharp intuition she evaded their grasp.
"You almost caught me Sir Alfred, but I improved better than our last encounter, hahaha.", she laughed.
"How does she sprint off so easily in those restraining clothes?? My lady, please stop this!!", he argued.
"I don't want to!!"
The chase continued for a few minutes, and after draining her stamina rock bottom, Elowen leaned against a pillar for a breath. She was on the edge of getting caught, since her movements today were rather sloppy.
"Ughh!! What do I do? Running away from the guards was not this difficult yesterday. Perhaps it might be the buns I took earlier from the kitchen. I feel quite heavy for a lady, I suppose", she smiled.
Looking across in a tensed mood, Elowen's eyes struck the suspicious door to her left. She leaped ahead with a sigh of satisfaction, and in pace the door opened wide with a creak.
"Finally, thank the stars!!"
Creak! Thump!!!
Huff huff!!!
"That was close, any later and I would have been dragged back into that hellhole of an academic prison. Can't a lady be one who takes adventures on a whim?? Such vague attempts against someone of my high esteem.", she scoffed.
In her gloating motion, Elowen heaped her chest in pride and hang a satisfying smile on her face. She was rather happy for escaping the attempts made by the guards, and put on a flashy pose as a reward.
Gliding her fingers through her golden bouncy hair, Elowen swayed her hair even more. Her accumulated fatigue began lessening in time, and the cold breeze of the wind aided heavily.
"Who are you?", a voice rang through the room.
"Huh.. there's another in this room? But I couldn't sense where they were, or perhaps it's a spy??", she panicked.
Unwrapping the coverings from his body, Thawne looked anxiously at the beautiful maiden. Although he found her to be rather childish, compared to the first guest who made vile attempts. At least that was what he presumed.
"Have you come to steal from me today too?", Thawne grinned.
Elowen paused for a moment after noticing Thawne, and his white hair and blue eyes caught her in a trance. However, there was no time to be dazzled, as the guards were still on the search.
"Oh my, I didn't know we had a guest around these parts. Might I know your name? "she asked politely.
"I don't wanna say it. Also what are you doing in here?", Thawne glared.
*Getting caught up by her beauty would just get me naked again. I don't want to let in any more of these thieves! Especially that vile woman!!*, he recalled.
Woodlock was rather cautious on his dealings with the young mistress. He preferred an evasion rather than falling for the same trick twice.
Nevertheless her timing for barging into the room was also awkward, and Dusk quickly hid as soon as the door budged. Appearing out of the blue when they finally spoke about a dreadmourn was definitely worth investigating.
*I was startled when the door suddenly barged open, but it seems I was on edge for no reason. However I can't just let my guard down, she might be a threat to me than that woman. *, Thawne pondered.
"You seem quite rude for a guest. I see you must be big brother's friend. Although he told me not to come in since you cuss too much for a child your age.", she smirked awkwardly.
"That stupid brat said what? Just wait till I get his hands on him!!", Thawne threw a temper tantrum.
"I guess the rumors were true after all, hahaha", she laughed.
Knock!! Knock!!
Startled by the sudden sound from the door, the lady ran towards Thawne in pace. She threw her body unto the bed in a leap, and fell straight into the arms of Thawne.
Ouch!!
Woodlock felt a bit weird as he opened his eyes slowly, and the dangling feeling of Elowen's hair kept his stunned. The lady breathed heavily as she lay on Thane, and her nose drew close to the oblivious lad.
It was as if time had frozen, and the two kids were lost in a deep trance. Captivated by Thawne's eyes, Elowen couldn't restrain herself from staring.
Knock!! Knock!
The knock struck once more, and in an alarmed demeanor she tucked herself into the bed. However in a restrained manner Thawne held drew out the covering with a neglected manner.
"Why are you in my bed?"
"Am I not cute enough for this?"
"Ugh, I don't know. Just get out of the bed already! I can't let anyone get the wrong ideas of you being here."
"I can't do that. If I get caught I would be forced to study!"
"And why should I care about that?"
"You!….. Someone's coming!"
Huh??
Pullin in Thawne by the arm swiftly, Elowen threw the white covering over in pace. Her arms hung tight around Woodlock's neck, and in an unsteady breathing she drew closer to his lips.
Thawne wrestled a bit at the start, however as their noses drew closer, the strength in his arms disappeared. He was blushing intensely within, and the eyes of the girl beneath captivated him.
Thump!!
The silent and steady steps treaded closer in each second, yet the duo stood in fright but also in suspense. Thawne grew cautious of who it may be, and defiling a noble without marriage was a criminal act.
"Someone is right beside us".
