Jasmine and Giulia
Jasmine stiffens and looks at him. She keeos her mouth shut. She wasn't going to yell at him with all these people. He used her.
Asha's mouth hangs slack and looks at him. Too quick to be caught, Asha's hand comes flying from her side and slaps Lucas right in the face!He stumbles back and looks at her. "Very well...I guess I deserved that. But there's the truth. Want anything more?"
Jasmine almost starts yelling but keeps her mouth shut. He was so nice to her. He was a different person she knew and liked. She didnt even know him anymore.
"Come on Jasmine. We can take care of ourselves!" Asha lifts her head and begins to walk off.Lucas rubs his aching jaw and looks up at Jasmine, face still facing the ground.
Jasmine goes with her sister. "We should hurry." Jasmine sais. Not bothering to look at Lucas.
"Yes we should. Goodbye Lucas." Asha grabs her sister's head and walks off.The crowd begins to meld over Lucas and the last they could see of him were his eyes, gazing at them as they stormed off.
Jasmine holds her sistere hand walking away not bothering to look back at Lucas. She pushes thier date out of her head trying to dorget about it.
"Thank goodness for your suspicions Jasmine or else we'll never have found out about him! What a snake." Asha shakes her head.
Jasmine nods. "Im happy I shared my suspision." she said. "I can't believe it though. That he used us."
"In some ways, but you mustn't think too highly of him dear, he wasn't nothing but just another man. Forget him! We have an adventure to go on!"
"I know. Asha. Im already forgetting about him." she. Said
"That's good. Let's focus on the task on hand." Asha nodded, happy her sister was over him so quickly but oblivious to how she was actually feeling.
"Good Idea." Jasmine said ignoring her feelings.
"So we need to find more information, a new and reliable source or way to get into the palace and find out for ourselves." Asha thinks out loud.
Jasmine nods "But how? And Who?" ((gtg))
((BYE!))"They're always hiring servants. Who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky."
"I think the way to the palace is up this road." Asha finds the correct street and begins to walk up.
Jasmine nods and goes with her sister.
Asha walks along the path and ends up at the servant's entrance. There, she looks around and sees a maid scurrying around. "Do you need help?" she asks the maid who pauses and considers the condition."Actually, yes. There's a feast coming up and we need two others. No pay. Three days." Asha smiles. "We'll take it!"
"Come on in girls. Hurry now! Many things to do." the maid ushers them in and Asha enters. They're given aprons and their first duty is to scrub the floors of the ballroom.
Jasmine follows and puts on her apron. She goes with her sister to help scrub the floors.
Asha begins to scrub the floor of the enormous ballroom, with a domed ceiling and hundreds of large windows lining the walls. It was silent, save the brush rubbing against the floor."So we need to, somehow, get the information from the Lord. How? Should we overhear him?"
Jasmine begins scrubbing the floors also. Jasmine shrugs "I'm not sure. Maybe one of us could prusuede him?"
"One of us? Foreign merchant girls? We need to get in close and find out the truth." she sighed, unsure how to approach the subject.
"He doesn't have to know about us being foreign merchant girls. I'm not sure. It was a suggestion." Jasmine said.
"Do you think we could dress you up as a noblewoman to gain his trust?" her eyes narrowed, considering the proposition.
Jasmine thinks "I think that will work."
"Good! You are now LADY Jasmine. We need to get you into rich clothes." she started, standing up.
Jasmine stands up. "Do you really think he'll believe me?" She asked
"You can act the part. Once we know, we're gone! You can do it!" Asha urges her sister.
Jasmine nods "ALright I"ll do it. I know I can." She said.
"I know you can. Let's go to someone's rooms and get dress then." Asha drops her work and rushes up the stairs.
Jasmine rushes upstairs with her sister.
She looks around the castle, popping into rooms until she finds an empty one. "In here!"
"Pick out any dress." she said, opening the wardrobe.
Jasmine picks out one that would look beautiful.
"Need help putting it on?" Asha inquires, looking at the busy gown, full of lacing and buttons.
Asha begins expertly lacing up the gown's back, tying knots and adjusting the bodice.
Jasmine pulls it up holding it helping her sister.
"Fix your hair-" Asha begins to command her but then the doorhandle turns and she pauses.
Jasmine pauses letting her hair out of her braids letting it fall down towards her hips. The black silky waves of her hair leans against her back.
Asha then runs off and hides behind the closet as the door opens quickly. She hopes Jasmine will be able to handle herself.
Jasmine takes a deep breath turning to see who it is. She fixes her hair parting it perfectly.
A man and a woman enter, talking happily but then pause, seeing Jasmine. They're confused at first."Excuse me? Who are you?" the woman demands.
"I'm Lady Jasmine. Sorry I got a bit lost." She said calmly.
"Fine. You want the truth? Yes, I know about the pendant. I know about the nobles who want it and I knew the theft was happening today. What I didn't know was that I was going to run into you two. What I didn't know was that you two were in danger for having run after the pendant. What you two don't know is that I'm not a guard. I'm not even a righteous, law abiding citizen. I'm a bounty hunter. And that pendant is my prize."
