Amy looked silently out of the window, trying to forget the endless pain, not knowing what was going on, or why the man had been gone for so long.

Roran sighed, frowning as she left with the guards. "Never any relax time here in Keros," he shook his head, looking to Vivian. He stayed silent the rest of the time, grabbing some fruit to eat. Taking some in a basket for Amaya later, it had been an hour or so.
Sitting back in his chair, he fell asleep without realizing it, not waking until the storm had started up again. The thunder boomed and he jumped to his feet, almost falling over. Luckily, no one noticed him, so he grabbed the fruit basket, and went in search of the Queen. She would no doubt be hungry by now, and this storm wouldn't be of any help to her.
Walking through the halls with his basket of food, he asked a few people if they had seen the missing Queen. Some of them shook their heads, other said they saw her running through the halls. Roran smirked as he remembered what she looked like running to her room yesterday. Thanking those he asked, he walked through the halls of the northern wing, the only part of the castle she had not shown him on his tour. "Amaya?!?" he called to her a few times, hoping she would answer him.

She tried to sit up, but her wound were causing her such sharp pain, that every extra movement felt as if single muscles were being ripped to bits and pieces, so she lied back down, as she looked around her body, she saw that the whole bed had been soaked in her blood. "If this goes on i will die" she said, emotionlessly "but then again, after what i did to clive, i would very much deserve it" she said, grunting in sorrow and pain

Amaya was curled up tight in her little ball, crying to herself as she just kept shaking. The memory of why she was afraid of storms flashed through her mind and she just sobbed.
It was about 15 years ago. She had been running around in the woods without an escort, and a storm started. It was a pretty bad one that day, and she was heading back to the castle when thunder cracked over head. A nearby tree fell ontop of her. She was pretty badly injured, and she was trapped under the tree. She was there for a couple of hours until the castle guards found her and aided her.
The queen was terrified of this, and she was terrfied now. Her hair was dishevled, her eyes were red, and her whole body was covered with bruises from falling down the stairs. She was alone and all of the memories were coming back to her under all of the stress.

Vivian gave a tiny nod, instinctively trying to stop Amaya from pulling her, then just letting her. Listening, her smile had gone, a hand resting on Christoph protectively. Lowering her head, she didn't make a move to rejoin them, staring at the ground. "If you or anyone tries to kill him, then you'll have to go through me first. You don't understand the situation we had been in, i've already forgiven him. Why can't you?" She muttered, turning away. When she did turn, she felt Christophs arms slid around her, holding her comfortingly.
Christoph gave no reaction to Amaya's words, more concerned about his Vivian. After she seemed to calm, he whispered in her ear, "You should still eat something you know." Kissing her forehead, he left one arm around her waist, fingers interlocking with hers.
Nodding after a moment, she wiped away the signs of tears, smiling softly up to her love. Then the two walked back to the dining room, sitting down and eating, Vivian seeing Roran leave.

Roran began top panic as he couldn't find her. She has to be here. She couldn't have left. She's the Queen for God's sake! "Amaya!?!?"
He dashed through the halls, pushing past people, knocking some down, just bumping others. Some just sighed and shook their heads when others yelled at him, but he didn't pay them any mind.
Breaking into an empty hall, he called out again. Turning another corner, he slowed to a walk, getting a breather. "Damnit Amaya, answer me!" he swore under his breath. "Please, just answer me!" Screaming in frustration, he took one of the pears he had grabbed for her and smashed it against the wall. Dropping the now useless fruit, he ran his clean hand through his hair, wiping the other clean on his pants. Pacing back and forth, he was taking deep breaths, trying to calm down.
No one could have gotten her. No assassin, or mercenary, or anyone. She's the Queen of Keros, she's under top gurad. She's in the castle, but where? She has to be a bit scared by now, and must be starving. The thunder boomed again oputside, shaking the floor.
Struggling to keep his balance, he swore again, picking the basket up again, and walking down the hall. "Amaya, please!" He cried out, now getting discouraged.

Amaya was too scare to even say anything. She heard Roran, and tried to call out to him, but no sound would even pass her lips.
When the ground of the castle shook from the thunder, that was the final bit for her and she screamed, pulling her legs tighter to herself. "RORAN!" The terrified queen finally screamed and then she just whimpered in her dark corner, scared of the storm, and scared of being alone.

His ears pounded, her scream so sharp, it hurt. Spinning around, he called to her again, "Amaya?!?" Walking down the hall now, he looked in the corners until he found his Queen. Dropping the fruit immediatly, he fell to the floor, touching her arm.
As an instinct, he curled up with her, his body trying to fit with hers. Holding her tight, he didn't even think of letting go. His hands rubbed the un-injured part of her back, he himself singing a soft Syrian tune.
"It's all right baby pie,
No one is going to make you cry.
I'll always be here for you,
Please don't turn black and blue.
Heaven is on the way,
I feel you pain,
I hope you never will."
Roran continued to sing this same verse over and over again. Changing his position to a sitting one, his back was against the wall, him holding her in his lap. Kissing her on the head, he sighed, rocking her back and forth. "Amaya," he whispered, "Amaya, you should probably eat something." Reaching for the fruit basket, he brought it to his side, but wasn't forcing her to eat.

Vivian was sitting in a room with her 'tutor,' reteaching her how a proper lady should act. "Princess Vivian, are you even listening?" The teacher demanded in frustration, glaring now at the bird on her shoulder.
Turning her gaze from the rain and thunder outside, Vivian stroked the feathers of Christophs soft body, replying, "No."
the teacher threw her hands in the air with a frustrated sigh. "I give up! You are unruly as ever. And you shouldn't be bringing pets to classes!"
With that, Vivian rose up and turned to go, black skirt ruffling behind her. "Don't care. Wherever I go, he goes. And don't bother trying to teach me, I've told you a thousand times that it is futile."
Wandering down the hall, Vivian could hear the thunder, knowing Amaya was probably having a fit. Sighing, she was bored again. Why couldn't there be some battle or something? None of the guards were worth her challenging him, and it wasn't like she could go back to Syra in this weather, not to mention when she already liked being home.

Amaya didn't even look up when Roran found her, just shaking until he finally calmed her down a bit with the song. Still breathing shakily, she took a piece of fruit and ate it while sitting in Roran's arms. When she was finally calm enough to speak, she smiled and looked back at him. "You have a very nice voice." She commented.

She tried to get up, 'i have to get back to the castle, before anyone finds out' she thought, attempting to get up, but as soon as she swung onto her feet, they couldnt support her weight, making her fall to the ground with a large thud. She lay there, the pain being near to deathening, she felt the wounds on her back being torn open again "aaa, damn it" she screamed, trying to move, but movememnt hurt even more

Xander couldn’t wait any longer, the screams forced him into action. Sneaking around the camp, he eventually arrived where Princess Amy-Lee was held hostage. Xander peeked through a window and saw the Princess laying on the ground, her entire body covered with blood. At first he feared the worst, but he could see her move. ‘I have delayed her rescue far to long.’ As soon as the coast was clear, he moved quickly, knocking the guards out and dragging them inside. Tossing them in a corner, he aided Princess Amy-Lee up, but did this gentle, not wanting to injure her.
“I must apologize for rescuing you so late. Can you walk?”

Amy was barely able to lift her head up to see who it was, but as she noticed him, she managed to frown "damn it, i failed" she coughed, trying to get up, even though the wounds on her back were open again, she attempted to push herself up."dont tell my sisters about this" she whispered, falling down again

Xander helped her sit up, letting herself rest against the wall. While keeping an eye out for someone to enter, he took off his cape and ripped it into pieces, now it could serve as bandages. “First, we need to stop the bleeding, second, get you out of here and third,” He showed a smile, this being the least for them to worry about, “Princess Aryana is accompany me.” Tending to the wounds and making sure she would lose to much blood, he helped her up. ‘Now to sneak out of here.’ Looking outside, it seemed safe to sneak out, looking at Princess Amy-Lee. “Can you walk or shall I carry you?” He asked not being sarcastic, but seeing how wounded she was, he would understand if she couldn’t walk.
