Lucas sighed softly and looked over at her for a moment, not sure how he was going to deal with her for as long at this war is going to take. After a few moments he stood up and pulled the dagger out and walked over to Evangeline. "Here" he said and handed it back to her. "You're not my prisoner" he said and knelt down next to the bed. "You can leave when ever you want to. I'm not going to stop you. Just know that I'm getting paid to protect you, so that's what I'm going to do, if you do decide to stay" he said before standing up and walking over to the bathroom.

Evangeline silently took the dagger, watching the young man stand and leave the bedroom. She sat up, dug through her bag, and slid the leather piece onto her hips. She put the dagger away before curling back up again, pondering the assassin's strange actions. She would stay with the rebels until the war was over, as long as she had Lucas, she supposed. She soon fell asleep quietly, a hand resting on the hilt of her dagger.
Lucas didn't even bother to listen to see what she was going to do, instead he stripped out of his clothes and got into the shower. It's been a while since he's been in a position where he could enjoy such a thing so he decided to take one now. He didn't stay in there long though, just quickly washed himself and then got out.
After Alec had thanked Aubry, he left her room and inquired as to where the assassin and sorceress were at the front desk. He went up to the room and softly rapped on the door.
Lucas finished getting dressed and walked out of the bathroom. He tensed slightly when he heard a knock on the door, hoping it wouldn't be a guard doing room checks. He walked over to the door slowly, knowing a guard would get impatient and start yelling at him to open the door. When that didn't happen he decided it was probably safe, and slowly opened the door. When he saw Alec on the other side he groaned "What do you want?" he asked.
Ignoring Lucas' unhappy response, Alec still rolled his eyes. "Aubry and I are leaving the the inn for a couple hours. Stay here," he ordered before turning and leaving.
"Sorry, but I don't take orders from you" Lucas said and looked back at Evangeline for a moment before pushing Alec back a bit so he could step out of the room, closing the door behind him. "I don't know about you, but I don't want to be here when the guards start doing searches of all the rooms at inns and tearing apart everyone's houses just to find her. "When she wakes up were leaving, whether you like it or not." he said and glared at him for a moment. "I already know where your camp is, if I decide to, I'll take her there" he said and turned around and opened the door to walk back inside.
Alec was ready to punch the assassin's lights out for pushing him into the hallway, and although his face turned red with frustration, he remembered Aubry's words about staying peaceful, or something to that extent. He didn't start anything with the man, only staring at the closed door momentarily before heading to his room to gather his things.
Lucas closed the door behind him and walked over to his bed and laid down, though he still didn't plan on falling asleep. He really didn't sleep much, being in his line of work. He's learned to function with usually less then fifteen hours of sleep a week though.
For about another hour, Evangeline slept peacefully. Right until the moment she saw guards heading down these hallways, that was. She jumped awake, a hand on her dagger. She looked over at the young assassin and said, "It's time to go."
Lucas sat up and nodded slightly, "Okay" he said and watched her for a moment before standing up and gathering his stuff. "You have vision or something" he asked curiously, because she seemed very eager to go, and he found that strange. "How does that even work by the way?" he asked.
"Yes, I did. I think it's hardly time to discuss my magical abilities right now." She pulled her bag over her shoulder, peeking out the door. Her eyes glazed over white and she saw guards running up the steps to their floor. "Out the window," she ordered, her eyes returning to their normal green after she faced the assassin.
"That's just creepy" Lucas muttered when he saw her white eyes. "Okay, come on" he said and slung his and her bag over his shoulder. He ran over to the window and looked down, "I'll jump down first" he said and looked over at her. "Then you jump and I'll catch you. Okay" he said and looked at her for a moment. Then with a small nod he quickly opened the window and without a second though jumped out the window.
It took a second for Evangeline to get her bearings, but then she quickly moved over to the window. She looked down and then back at the door for a second before jumping down into the alley below- and Lucas.
Lucas caught her, just like he said he would and gently set her on the ground. As soon as her feet touched the ground he whistled loudly, making his horse ran over them, seemingly out of no where. He helped her up on to the horse, despite knowing she could get up on her own. Then he quickly climbed up as well and a second later they were moving, and trying to avoid guards as much as they possibly could.
Evangeline knew she wouldn't have to hide her face, but kept her face to Lucas' back anyway, wrapping her arms around him as he took off down the streets. She almost wished she had done something to cover her face but that may have given her away.
((Hey, I won't be active until upcoming Friday probably. Have a good week!))
((Hey, I won't be active until upcoming Friday probably. Have a good week!))
((Okay. You too.))Lucas looked around a moment, "Any idea where it might be safe?" he asked, since she was the one having the visions about the guards. He directed the horse to turn down an alley and slowly pulled to a stop. "Probably shouldn't travel like we're running from something" he said and looked around.
((Thanks))
Evangeline closed her eyes and leanes her forehead on Lucas's shoulder for a moment. "They're clearing from the outside of the town-in. So... Take Maj street over to Loid, then duck in the alley between the butcher and flower shop... No, book shop. At the end of an alley there's a gate but it's short. Can he jump? It might be open for deliveries this time of day..." Evangeline huffed a breath and sagged into the assassin. "I can't do any more. I'll get sick." Not that the king hadn't pushed those limits before.

Not that the king hadn't pushed those limits before.
"That's fine, don't need to know anymore then that" Lucas said and looked around a little bit before riding back out onto the street and following her directions. He been to the town a few times so he knew the streets well enough to easily maneuver then, in just the way the sorceress had instructed. It took a while but he reached the end of the alley she had talked about and had, Ed, his horse, jump over the gate.
Evangeline held tight to Lucas as the horse jumped the gate. She stayed as steady as she could, but kept her eyes closed. After a minute she asked hoarsely, "How far away is the camp?"
"A few days away at best" Lucas said, he didn't know the exact location, just it's general area, and that was just from listening in on some conversations. "Longer with the guards after us" he said and paused a moment before turning right down a different street, one that lead out of town.
Evangeline cursed under her breath and focused her energy onto holding Lucas. If she didn't have the chains on, she could take care of the guards or possibility of being seen. Even though it went against her instinct, she forced a vision again. It was a moment before she said, "Go out the shipment exit, the one for wagons. There's a blindspot we can exit through a boxing company near it; it leads out of the city."
Lucas nodded slightly and took her directions and went out the shipment exit for the wagons. He noticed the where the blind spot would be and made sure to use it as he left the city. "Okay, we're out" he said and started to speed up, since now speed wouldn't be perceived as suspicious. "You okay" he asked.
Evangeline didn't notice as they left town, looking an eye out when Lucas asked of her well-being. "Fine," she lied, closing her eyes again. She would let him know when she needed to stop.
Lucas nodded slightly and looked around a moment before switching direction. He nudged Ed in the side a little bit, urging him to go faster, he rather spend as little time as possible out in the open.
Evangeline kept tight her new bodyguard, only opening her eyes to check for guards behind them. After she thought it was safe, and saw the approaching tree line of the forest, she dug her nails into the clothing of Lucas before realizing that wasn't communication. "Once you're into the woods, I need you to stop. Please," she added.
Lucas nodded slightly, but didn't say anything. They made it to the tree fairly quickly, so once he was far enough in to be hidden he pulled to a stop. "Can't stop for long" he said and carefully slide off the horse before helping her down.
"I know." Evangeline stood and held her hand against a tree, looking from the tree line to Lucas. "Thank you," she said after a moment before turning and looking around at the ground. She picked a plant up and rubbed the leaves in her hand for a moment before pressing the mush to her forehead. After another moment she felt better and turned to Lucas. "Are you okay?" she checked.
Lucas nodded slightly "Yeah I'm fine" he said and looked around for a moment. "Just get some rest, I'll be right back" he said and gently took the horse by the reins and started walking away from her. He heard a stream not to far from her, he could probably have taken her with him but he didn't feel like it. He brought the horse up close to the water and let him drink while he filled up his canteen.
Evangeline nodded and sat down against a tree while she waited. She made sure there wasn't any residue from the plant on her forehead, not wanting to be embarrassed. She smiled with the soft sun kissing her face, thinking about how long it had been since she was free.
Lucas finished filling up his canteen and let Ed drink a little more before taking him back to where he left Evangeline. "You feelin better?" he asked, mostly wondering if she was ready to go. He put his canteen back in his bag and strapped it to the horse.
Evangeline felt mostly fine by the time Lucas came back, and she told him as much with his question. "Thank you," she said again as she stood and walked over to his horse to mount.
Lucas watched her get up onto the horse before climbing up as well. He nudged Ed slightly, prompting the horse to start to move. They didn't go that fast this time, there wasn't a hurry now, and Lucas would rather Evangeline not throw up on his back.
Evangeline settled into the back of the horse, only one arm loosely around her guard this time. After a few moments she decided to speak up and try for conversation. "So... How old are you?"
Lucas thought a moment, having never actually celebrate his birthday, or even really knowing when it was he sometimes forgot his age. His mom had died during child birth and his dad was a n ass, so that kind of equated to never being told happy birthday, or when the day even was apparently. "Uh... twenty-six" he said, pretty sure that was the correct age. "What about you?" he asked.
For a moment Evangeline thought Lucas had ignored her question, but heard his reply in due time. "Twenty-two," she answered easily. She looked at the passing forest and was quiet for a moment before speaking up again, not wanting to be bored. "Who trained you?"
"Mostly myself, but I did spend six years training to be one of the kings guards. But then he killed my brother, so then I tried to kill him, missed and have been an assassin ever since" Lucas said matter of factly.
Evangeline closed her eyes in flinching at the mention of Lucas' brother's death. "I'm so sorry," she said quietly, looking over his shoulder to see if she could read his face. "What was his name?"
Lucas sighed "Nathan" he said with almost no emotion at all, other than maybe annoyance. He hated talking about himself, especially his past, it all happened over eight years ago and it meant nothing now. So there was no reason to even talk about it.
Evangeline leaned back again and pursed her lips. She waited a few minutes before biting her lip. "So why don't you just keep trying to kill him? Or is that why you didn't kill me?" She added the last part more quietly.
"Because I don't care" Lucas said with another sigh "and I didn't kill you because I saw a bigger cash out opportunity" he said, which was actually partly true. "Killing the king will also just end in the same result. Me being paid large sums of money"
Evangeline frowned, although not sure what she had been hoping to hear. "All you care about is money?" she murmured. She sighed in the same manner he had, though not mocking. "Where's that going to get you in life?"
"A decent bed to sleep on and food on your plate" Lucas snapped, kind of regretting his decision already, and it was to late to go back on it now. He wasn't completely heartless, he did hate the king for killing his brother, he just didn't act on that hatred. He never really paid much attention to his emotions, just kind of locked them in a chest inside of his mind.
Evangeline swallowed hard, choosing not to reply as she took her hand off of his waist and just rested it on the build of the saddle. She wished she hadn't pried, but knew she couldn't take it back. At least she knew to probably just keep from talking about anything that might be touchy to the man from that point on.
Lucas sighed and nudged the horse slightly urging him to go faster. The quicker he got her to the camp the quicker he could be done with this job. At least that's what he hoped anyway, really was no need for him once they were at the rebel camp.
Although Evangeline wanted to ask something else about the assassin, she didn't. She was about to bring up something else when her head throbbed terribly. "There's a river up ahead but the closest bridge is being inspected by guards. You need to veer south-west for a while and cross when the water dulls to a trickle, or we'll be caught," she told him after her vision cleared.
Lucas nodded slightly, though he hadn't planned on using the bridge. He figured as much, but the information was helpful none the less. Now he knows the king probably won't be coming out himself, if he's having his guards check all exits out of the cities.
Evangeline kept her eyes to the direction of the bridge when they came upon the area, making sure there weren't straggling guards. Once they had passed over the river, she swallowed and spoke again. "The king's men murdered everyone close to me until I agreed to his terms. They started off with old playmates but grew closer and closer in relation the longer I held off." She twisted her right wrist's shackles absently. "My family told me that my abilities were too dangerous; that a few lives were saving thousands. But then the king himself came and tortured my family in front of me, one by one. All that's left is my sister; she was kept in a room somewhere in the castle until I said I Would join him. When I did, he killed her too."
