Part 1Deep within the many different halls that make up the large guild, Rosalind and Orlando have found a place to hide from the harrassing Lord Rochester. Down several floors below the main, in the quiet desperation of one of the basement rooms they have made a place for themselves. The refuge had been set up months before by the heads of the guild just for a situation such as this. They have stayed here in hiding since the incident in the main ballroom. Not eager to meet Lord Rochester roaming the halls, the refuge has become their home for the time being.To Orlando: I can't stand staying in here another moment. I am sure my father has men out looking for me. If he doesn't already know about us, he will soon. I have to go back home.

To Rosalind: Just stay calm. I'm certain that your father doesn't know about the two of us, unless Rochester didn't keep his word.
*lightly kisses her for reassurance*

To Orlando: I don't think he would betray me like that.

To Rosalind: Betray you?! The man is your stalker! He wrote a coded letter to you and left it out in the main ballroom for someone to find. I don't think he would have any qualms about going straight to your father with the information he has.
*looks at her convincingly*

*pulls away from his embrace and walks across the room*
To Orlando: I just don't think he would. He seems to have some sort of fascination with me.

To Rosalind: That's what makes him so dangerous!
*walks over to her and puts his hands on her shoulders*
He would love nothing more than to see us apart, and that includes going to your father. The man practically told me that he would kill me just a few days ago!

*turns to him*
To Orlando: Oh my love, we have to leave this place. I have to, at least. Only long enough to find out whether my father knows anything or not. I will return as soon as I find out. Then we can be together again.

To Rosalind: Very well, but I'll go with you to the entrance of the guild, just in case Rochester is lying in wait.
The two of them leave quickly and quietly up the stairs to the main floor, weaving in and out of the many rooms along their way. The guild is empty for the most part, with most of the members being out.
Once out in the darkened main entryway, they part ways with Rosalind leaving out the front door out into the garden beyond. Orlando stands motionless on the tiled floor before retreating into the large library to the leftside of the room.

After grabbing a book and sitting down in one of the large overstuffed chairs that occupied the center of the room, Orlando proceeded to read. Before long, a loud crash from behind him startled him out of reading. He quickly jumped out of the chair to see what had happened. The broken vase lay shattered on the floor.
He sat the book down on the small table that was next to the chair and proceeded to pick up the broken pottery. He flinched slightly as a sharp piece sliced through the tip of his finger. Sticking it in his mouth to relieve the pain, he began to stand up.
To Orlando: Foolish boy, you should know better than to wander around here alone.
*quickly takes a cord from the drapes in his hands trows it over Orlando's head to try to strangle him*

*struggles with him, luckily his hand was up at his mouth, so he could grab the cord*
To Rochester: You b*****d!
*manages to get free*

*smirks at him, jumping backward*
To Orlando: Puny boy, you are dirtying Rosalind's name. I won't have her being a whore. It is time for her childish games to end.

To Orlando: I warned you once about challenging someone that you have never seen fight. Apparently you don't listen to your elders.
*swiftly takes out his sword with fluid-like movement*

The clang of sharp steel echoes throughout the halls as the two of them thrust and parry. Orlando lets out a yell as Rochester's sword slices into his arm with a quick upward stab.
To Rochester: Leave Rosalind alone!

*steps to the side as Orlando comes at him again*To Orlando: Don't fight it boy, you are destined to lose this battle! The sound of a large group of people out in the hall startles Rochester, allowing Orlando to get in a good stab to his leg. Rochester's face turns to a grimace just before he disappeared into the darkness.
Orlando managed to get out into the main hall before collapsing onto the floor.Part 3
