Amara shook her head when Loelei mentioned Aro buying her. "No, he actually thought of something different after what happened" she began. Before she could finish speaking, Aro spoke. "Your parents are going to think you died. This plan will only work if Amara get's out of here now." He looked at the nurse giving her a stern look. "Find the passage that leads to my room and light it up. Once it's done, we need to get them to my room, and you are to keep your mouth shut or it will be the last thing you ever do." He watched the nurse take off, doing as he said, too scared to argue.

Aro looked at Lorelei, narrowing his eyes a bit. "Looks like you get your wish." He carefully moved to pick up Amara who still couldnt feel her legs. "Luna better guide you right, or so help me that horn is going to be decor in my room" he said as Amara rolled her eyes. "When has Luna ever gotten me lost" she asked. Aro sighed, Amara was right about that. When the nurse came back she moved to Lorelei's side, ready to help her. "Lean on the nurse if you need."

Aro started to make his way to his room, motioning for Lorelei to go in. "The room door is locked. Close the passage behind you and DONT let anyone in" he said as he kept going with Amara. They reached the stables quickly and he placed his sister on her mare. "Be careful" he said as he tried to situate her. He was grateful he had a stable hand tack up Luna for his sister to have something to use for balance. Before Amara could reply, Aro headed back into the castle, this time taking the normal route to his room. He opened the door with a key he had and closed it behind him.

Amara had spent the last two days traveling, though it wasnt the most ideal being on Luna's back after what happened. She still was unable to move her legs, making it difficult to ride, but Luna seemed to sense it, and was more gentle than usual. On the second day, Amara couldnt get herself onto Luna's back and propped herself against a tree. Amara could tell Luna knew whe wasnt doing well as the mare lowered her head to Amara. "Go find Sebastian" she said, causing Luna to take off.

Amara was in and out of consiousness, feeling the the day was hardly moving before she heard thundering hooves coming her way. She couldnt move, knowing she would be an easy target if someone spotted her. A familiar bellow caught the wind as she looked over. "Luna?" Her vision was fuzzy, but she saw a figure on her back, and knew there was only one person out here that knew who Luna was. "Sebastian." She gave a smile as Luna slowed and nuzzled Amara, looking like she was trying to examine the female to be sure she wasnt hurt worse than when she left. "Good girl" she said.

Aro gave a slow grumble as he started to stir. He heard voices, giggling, and it brought him out of his slumber. He slowly looked over before he sat up. "I assume I can go get breakfast brought in" he said, trying to sound as emotionless as possible, though that wasnt working much anymore. The past few days he hadnt had much of a chance to talk to Lorelei about the plan to make her parents think she was dead, and he had to be sure she was ready to play along with it, losing contact for a short while with Sebastian, though he didnt plan on the contact needing to be lost for too long.

The prior night, he didnt recall going to sleep. The last thing he remembered was holding Azaria when she had woken up in the night. He had been in his chair watching before he rocked her in his arms to get her back to sleep. After that, he recalled sitting on the bed, but that was it. While Aro knew the door was locked, he cursed himself for sleeping when he should have been watching, making sure they were safe. The nurse that helped them was the only one he allowed to come in the room for now. "We need to talk after I bring food" he said as he climbed out of the bed and grabbing a nicer shirt to leave the room with.

Amara blacked out again when Sebastian put her on Luna. She had been too weak to answer his questions. She slowly came to when they reached his room and gave a small smile. "I'm not hurt anymore than what I was when you left" she replied, trying to give a small chuckle. "I came here because I didnt want to be near my father after what he thinks" she said. Her smile faded as she spoke of her father. "he wont know I am gone for another few days. Aro helped me leave without being seen by anyone from my kingdom, especially Haru. She assumed the guard was the main reason her brother wanted her out of there.

Amara slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out the letter Aro wrote. "Aro wants you to read this. He has a plan to help keep Lorelei safe. The issue is we need to pretend she died in the attack from her wounds. The fool who did this, he's locked up, so there is no way your parents would think otherwise." She winced slightly as she tried to sit up properly. "Sebastian, we have to prove to my father you didnt do this" she said. "That you didnt plan for me or your sister to get taken. I-i hope that when he realizes I am gone, he will see that I chose to come here." She reached out to place her hand on his cheek.

Aro reached the door before he looked back at Lorelei. "Anyone would be foolish to not help" he said. "And I wont let anyone know or see you until I know this mess is over" he said before he left the room. He wasnt sure why Lorelei was telling him to be careful. He wasnt the one that got kidnapped. He also wasnt the one that was attacked and basically left for dead. He hoped Amara reached Sebastian alright and gave him the letter. It was the perfect plan, making her parents think she was dead. It would keep her safe.

Aro reached the kitchen and rather than talk to the staff, he loaded up a few plates worth of food before he started heading out. He knew they thought he was acting strange, but they assumed he was just getting enough food for the day more often than not since the nurse who helped get Amara and Lorelei out of the infirmary brought food the rest of the day. It worked out more than he thought it would.

Aro narrowed his eyes as he neared his room, seeing Haru near Amara's door. "What do you want Haru" he asked rather coldly. "I just came to check on Amara" he replied, acting as though he cared about the princess. "She isnt taking visitors, and certainly not from you" Aro snapped back. "I suggest leaving before I make you leave. Stay out of this area as you are no longer welcome in the royal halls." Aro would need to talk to his father later about getting Haru exiled, but that would have to wait just a little longer. He walked into his room and placed the food down before he started to pace.

Amara watched as Sebastian threw the letter across the room. "I dont know the full extent as to what is happening, but I do hope that we can get everything sorted out" she told him. She wasnt happy he had her lay down, but she was grateful to have him at her side.

Amara rolled her eyes at the mention of Haru. "Something tells me that he and whoever your parents paid know one another. That might be how they managed to kidnap us. Especially since Haru knows that most of the rooms have a secret passage. It's the only way to get in and out of rooms undetected." She bit her lip slightly.

Amara looked down at her legs. "I will get my father to believe me, one way or another. I promise. I refuse to let him fall for Haru's nasty tricks and think that he is the hero when he is far from it." She spat Haru's name as though it was dirt on her tongue.

Aro glanced over at Lorelei when she first peeked out of the bathroom. He didnt say anything to her, but he could tell she knew he wasnt all that happy right then. Once she was dressed and sat down, he sat as well. "Haru. He's outside Amara's room acting like he cares about her and wants to check on her. I have the nurse move around in there off and on, lighting and blowing out candles, making it seem like she is there so nobody knows she's with your brother, or hopefully there by now." he sighed and shook his head as he looked at Lorelei. "I also need you to really not leave this room. If Amara did reach your brother by now, then my plan is in motion. Your parents will think you are dead, just like they wanted" he told her.

Aro shook his head. "Any letters you want to send, you cant. We cant risk anyone getting them and telling your parents you are alive." He looked in her eyes, worried what she might think.

Amara gave a small nod, knowing Sebastian had a good point, using Haru for the castle plans to sneak around. "I just wish I knew HOW they knew one another. That's the strange part." When he mentioned her needing to have to lie about who she was, she bit her lip slightly. "Who would we even tell them I am" she asked. "It's not like anyone here knows what I look like. That and my father wouldnt dare let news get out that his daughter cant feel her legs" she replied.

The knock on the door caught her attention, and she looked confused. When he saw it was a female, she looked even more confused. As she watched Sebastian pull her into a hug, she felt like a part of her was being torn. *He wouldnt have another sister* she thought. "S-sebastian, who's that" she asked. Her blue eyes were locked on the woman, though mostly on the fact Sebastian was hugging her, and crying?

Slowly Amara pulled herself into a sitting position, wincing slightly as she did so. She knew she looked like trash, and with the way Sebastian seemed to know this woman, she started to feel self consious and small.

Aro gave a small nod when Lorelei mentioned part of his plan was smart. He wasnt sure if it had been the right move until he saw Haru, and probably others falling for it. Especially when the servant often carried the food through Amara's room to help with making it seem like she was in there. "We can find a way to make them talk. All men have weaknesses" he said in a rather icy tone.

Aro glared at Lorelei when she mentioned going outside. "It's too risky for you to go out there" he said. "You are not strong enough to defend yourself, or your kid." Even if she DID dye and cut her hair, there was no hiding Azaria. "And what of Azaria? You cant change her looks enough. Are you going to leave her alone to get taken again" he asked. It was clear he wasnt happy with the suggestion, even though there would be no way to actually lock her up. He wasnt a monster to chain her to the wall to keep her from leaving, but he knew he couldnt watch them all the time.

Aro stood up and began to pace again. There had to be some way to keep them safe, but now that he had been out and about, he couldnt just lock himself up again, especially not with Amara gone. Guards and servants would realize something is up and find out even sooner that Amara wasnt there like he claimed, and he wasnt ready for his father to know yet.
