Annalisa entered the small crowded tavern. A red hood pulled up and over her golden blond hair, just like half the others in the place. She took a seat at the bar and grimaced as she felt its wet and sticky top. Disgusting, she thought to herself. Keeping one eye on the door, she waited, looking for the perfect target, the perfect person to trick into giving her answers, answers about all the rumours about magic that had been flying around the castle.

Ryanne swiftly entered the tavern hidden by the shadows and her long black hood and cloak. She stood in the darkest corner of the room. She had to find answers about this prophecy all the rumours talked about. And the tavern had seemed like the perfect place to catch gossip

As Annalisa surveyed the area, she found the perfect target. An older man with grey black hair who sat right across from a young girl in a black cape.
Annalisa glided towards him, giving him a flirtatious and toxic smile, trying to put on a show.
"Mind buying a young girl with empty pockets a drink?" she cooed with doe eyes.
The man, hunched over a mug laughed, he was a slob, a corner of his red lips dripping with drool.
"I do mind actually, buy it yourself" he slurred through a gulp of liquor.
Anna's fists clenched and unclenched as she pulled out her dagger, pointing it unto his gut just enough to sting.
"Tell you what" she said in a la-di-da sort of tone "You're going to buy me a drink, tell me what i need to know or your worthless blood will be smeared allover this filthy floor" she snarled at the drunken fool.

Ryanne smiled. "Don't worry about threatening the poor man" she said to the girl with the red cloak. Ryanne's black eyes twinkled a shade of blue as she cast a obedience spell on the metal necklace he was wearing. "Now" she said in a sickly sweet voice, "do be a darling and go get the young lady a wine". He obediently got up and went to go get a glass.

((sorry. mum just came home and i had to help her))

((Nahh its okay :) ))
Annalisa's mouth hung open in shock. But she quickly regained her posture, easing her perfectly little smirk back onto her lips.
"You must teach me how to do that" she said with a dark laugh "but place a knife in the right spot" she said as she twirled it between her fingers"and you can make a man sing like a canary"

Ryanne smiled "Your method is quite effective, I can tell because you seem to use it a lot". When she was wearing her hood, all you could see was her cheshire cat-like smile. "So, what brings a princess like you to a horrid place such as this?". Ryanne had sensed the electric signals of a person with high authority from this woman for quite a while.

Annalisa was surprised that she was spotted so easily, but she didnt let it show. Instead her devilish smile crawled high up her cheeks, her black eye shadow shinning through a silver masked she retrieved from her closet.
One thing that Annalisa was good at was voices, she'd been around the castle enough times to know who spoke and from the moment the foreigner opened her mouth she could hear her tones and specific forms of pronunciation.
"Horrid? I quite like it actually, it has a sense of... history to it? Yes, the history of pigs and fools" she said with a bitter laugh "I'd say the same thing to you, princess. You know, princess, you shouldn't be out past your bed time" she tauned

"You're one to talk"

Annalisa pursed her lips at the insult
"I bet i could beat you in a fight, one without your witch magic" she spat, her words soaked in poison.
Anna had over heard rumours of this girl, whispers of death and lies that clung to her past. There was something strange about her, and Anna knew she would be a good ally to have but she didn't feel like making friends.

Ryanne answered in a quiet and cold voice "I've been called a witch by some, a sorceress by others. But never once have I been called a normal princess" she glanced up at Annalisa, her black eyes glowing blue "Do you know how much that hurts? No blade you wield could ever cut me as deep as those rumours do. Count your blessings that I haven't chosen to kill you like the others who spread lies already. You really have no idea what it is like to be discriminated, do you little princess?". Ryanne thought of how much blood, tears and sadness she'd shed. This girl was all talk and no humility or emotions

The little girl looked up at the celling as though in though and gave a small shrug "No, i don't. Do you know why? Cause i'm not a freak" she sung, spinning on her heels and collecting the wine from the drooling greying man.

"No, you're not. Your a rude girl with a dictionary full of big talk"

Annalisa flicked her golden hair over her shoulder "Well of course i am, i'm also stubborn, nosy, perpetually irritating and with a well educated mind. If i wasn't all these things then i wouldn't be the future queen of the Ivory City, my sisters are to weak and my brothers are either too dull, to stupid or to nieve, so, because i'm strong, the throne will be mine" She said with a squeak of content as she took a seat and sipped her wine.

Ryanne smiled "Wrong. Your sisters are kind, compassionate, loving, loyal and understanding. They have qualities the people of the kingdom a=want in a queen. And they are qualities you lack. You have too many enemies. If the kingdom had you on the throne, we would all be thrown into war and dispute" Ryanne got up from her seat "Learn from your sisters, and maybe then, you may have a chance. Right now though, you are a power hungry monster, and if anyone at this table is a witch, it's you" With that, Ryanne swiftly turned from the table and headed for he door.

At the words "war" and "dispute" Annalisa clapped her hands together
"But wouldn't that be fun?!"
Yet as the girl continued to speak Annalisa began to purse her lips and raise her chin
"Hey!" she shouted after her, following close behind "I'm not done with you yet! Who do you think you are?! You have no right to call me a monster" Annalisa started to pout, tears welling up in her eyes, a single tear rolled down her cheek "I... I don't mean it, it's... it's just father always taught me that if you want to get your way you have to fight for it"

Ryann looked back at the crying girl, but her cold black eye's did not soften "War and dispute? Fun? Let's see how you feel when the lives of innocent children, the blood of helpless babies is all over your hands. And just that one reference to you as a monster makes you cry?" Ryanne turned and glared down at Annalisa "You're even more pathetic than I thought. How many years of those comments do you think i've endured? Before you go around threatening your own people with weapons, learn your manners. Do you really think fighting is going to get you anywhere?" Ryanne laughed a menacing laugh "Fighting just results in more fighting. Learn from you sisters, child" Ryanne felt like telling the princess that she was being scolded by a 13 year old, but decided that it would only make matters worse.

Annalisa stopped the act immediately "damnit, that usually works" she shrugged off the girls speech, her hostile remarks about change and blah blah blah blah, Annalisa didn't bother, what was the point? She knew how to be a rat and being a rat was what she was good at.
"Pathetic, yes, but manners i have plenty' said taking a deep curtsy "I still don't see your point" she teased with a menacing smile, curious to see how far she could push this girl

Ryanne decided that this girl wasn't going to listen to sweet talk "How should I put this then? You're not fit to be queen. Go try your luck at a job such as a cry baby, murderer, psychopath, drama queen or daddy's girl. You're a selfish and carless little brat and I would have severed your head by now if it weren't for your sisters kindness and acceptance towards me. Obviously you didn't inherit the best genes of the family"

Annalisa didn't show how much the words stung her. She hated being compared to her "perfect sisters", always told to act like them, talk like them, it was annoying,
"Now psychopath would be fun" she chirped "And if you mean Lena, she didn't get that from my parents, she was just dropped on her head as a baby, a lot" she said with a dark laugh.
"So, wanna go start some trouble?" Anna's eyes sparkled at the idea of mischief.

((sorry i gtg but i'll reply in the morning :) ))

Ryanne smiled and her eyes glowed blue "I have no intention of associating myself with lowlifes like you. However" she smiled more intensely "If it's mischief you want, it's mischief you'll get". Ryan cast a memory erasing spell on the metal clasp of Annalisa's cape. She erased all of Annalisa's memories of everything that had happened at the Tavern.

Annalisa stumbled a few steps, frowning her brows in a knot.
"Wh..: what happened? Where am I??" Annalisa reached for her dagger and pulled it out, waving it at the girl, her hands quick and precise
"Who are you?"

Ryanne grinned and got up from her chair. That was actually the first time the memory erasing spell had actually worked "I am Princess Ryanne grey of the neighbouring kingdom" Ryanne headed toward the door "Remember me well, for I have a feeling that we'll be seeing each other again soon enough"

((So do you want to continue with this??))

Asher stepped in through the low hanging door into the dark hall filled with loud noises and ragging drunks.
A black hood was pulled down to cover his pale green eyes and his sandy hair. Selena stayed close behind him as they walked though searching for any sign of the princess's.
"Lovely" he said under his breath

"There she is...over there next to the second to last barstool.", she whispered to Asher while looking around cautiously for any threatening drunk men.

Asher looked across the smoggy room to see a girl, no older then fourteen sitting at the bar, one elbow on the table wrestling a man three times her size. Cautiously Ash crossed the room
"Anna?" he asked

Annalisa sat, her forehead red and her cheeks blotched, a wicked smile on her face as she forced this mans arm down.
She was winning, a few gold coins this fool had coughed up just at the idea of an easy win.
"Anna?" she heard a familiar voice ask, her head snapped around and the man pushed her arms down. He roared in laughter, the drunken fool, and Anna puled out her knife, a snarl on her rosy lips.

((Sorry. Had a track meeting today.))

Selena stood besides Asher's large frame and stared surprised at the small knife in her sisters small delicate hand as if it were a bomb. "Anna!", she exclaimed firmly, her sisterly protectiveness kicking in fast. "Put that knife down this instant! What would father think? Threatening a drunk unarmed man just because he beat you in a arm wrestling match is not something father would be proud of!", she stated harshly, now staring with stone gray eyes at her sister intensely, just daring her to defy her older sister. "What are you doing here anyways?", she asked with a sigh, now bored by the actions of her sister. "Can she at least act like a lady?", she thought.

Ryanne hadn't left the tavern. She still hadn't gotten the answers she'd wanted. She'd seen Asher and Selena enter the tavern and was watching Selena scold Annalisa. She smiled. At least Selena was trying to teach Annalisa how to be proper. Ryanne decided that she would stay in the shadows a bit longer before she revealed herself. That was, if they didn't see her first.

Asher stayed close to Selena as she marched over to Anna, making sure he was never too far away.
Ash could feel someone watching them, someone who didn't want to seen. He looked around the room, examining each and every face under the hoods

Annalisa threw her head back in laughter "I think father would be proud" she said raising her chin, a mighty look on her small face "he cheats! I almost one and he cheated!" She pouted, jumping off d the stool and stamping her little feet on the ground
"I doesn't matter why I'm here" she said regaining her royal stance and crossing her arms "what are you doing here? And what is he doing her" she hissed "he" once she spotted Ash close behind her sister

Ryanne's ears perked up. She was quite interested to hear what brought Asher and Serena to the tavern.

Selena felt another presence in the space to the right of the trio and suspected they were being watched. "We had come to find you and Ryanne, you both have been missing for a while.", she stated as she turned towards the partially hidden figure in the shadows. "I see we have found both of them.", she said to her hidden friend with a warm smile. "You had me slightly worried since you didn't tell me you would sneak out...Ryanne.", she whispered with her body bent forward cautiously, her hair falling down like curtains beside her face, and a mischievous sparkle in her aquamarine eyes.

Ryanne smiled a sly red lipped smile and stepped out of the shadows. "I told you, I do not sneak out. I just exit through the main gate". Ryanne removed her hood and her black hair tumbled out in locks and her black eyes glowed a tinge of navy blue.

((We need and order to this. Any ideas?))

((you, allie then me?))

((Ok sounds like a plan!))

((you're go!))

((It would help if she was online though))

Selena smiled at her friends smart remark. "Yes but how does one merely exit out the front when they are quarantined royalty? Do they seduce the guards into bowing to their every order?", she asked her head cocked to the side with a smile of triumph, and her eyes showing hidden knowledge of her friends escapades.

((Yes it would. Very much so.))

((Wait! Allie is on! Dun Dun DUNNNN!))

((*Fist pump*))

((Lol! *Does rain dance*))

((you're go Allie))
