Aiden raced along with the other slaves, wishing he had a weapon in his hand to fight against the men chasing them. The wind brushed a piece of his brown-red hair across his eyes, and he shook his head impatiently, clearing his vision.

Nimue followed all the others, not aware she just regained her freedom. Her aubern locks prevented her from seeing clearly and several times she stumbled over her feet, now and then grabbing an arm, recognising it was Aiden.

Aiden started as some one grabbed his arm. He nearly shook it off, thinking it was a soldier, before looking back and seeing Nimue. He grabbed her wrist, steadying her.

"Th- thank you.." she panted. Her eyes flashed from left to right, to find a place to hide or to disappear.. "Where are we going Aiden..?" she gasped, her feet ached because of the run after her long imprisonment

"I don't know, someplace safe." Aiden said, hoping he was right.

Nimue tried not to fall behind and remained lcose to Aiden, hoping the safe place would besomewhere close.

((hey, nice idea...))

Shade caught up and said, "Hold on...take an rest...we have many more leagues to travel." She took out her flask and handed it to the smallest of the group and told them to past it around. She looked to be an very mystrious person, especially since the slaves had no clue of her name or what had actually happened.

"Just wait a moment," said Isabel, eyes flashing suspiciously. "We don't know who you are or where we're going - care to explain?" She steadied herself against a tree, her thin limbs looking fragile. "I'm not going to continue if we're just running back into the arms of those guards."

Shade was in no mode was snobbishness. She drew her sword, which still had blood on it, which if he father would have seen that would have scowled her. "Don't anger me, lass...I just put up witht he entire royal gaurd to help you guys...my name is Shade and I am an thief and archer, deadly with both bow and sword. Don't cross my path for I also befriended the wolves of this forest and they come to my call. Now...on friendler terms, you are free now...or for now, at least."

"How kind of you," was Isabel's sarastic reply. "Don't call me lass, I happen to be older than you." She turned to go, and suddenly her ripped clothes and the whip-weals beneath them were visible, proof that her sharp tongue had not been subdued even in slavery. "Let's be off then, I've no intention of hanging about."

"Sorry...you look younger..." Shade said, standing but shook her hand. "The weaker ones need to rest."

Isabel did indeed look younger. Her sticklike limbs and large eyes in her thin face did nothing to make her look older, either. She turned and nodded, though she looked restless. "Ah...I suppose so."

Robin dropped his loot off at camp then headed back tward the town, bay horse weaving through the trees skillfully. He stopped sundenly beside the freed slaves...
