Lilly smiled lightly as he moved closer to kiss her. But frowned when he seemed to pause. When he fell forward she caught him and winced sinking to the ground under his weight. Seeing the arrows she looked up seeing archers still there. Then hearing boots coming down towards her she looked at the alley. Guards. "What are you doing", she demanded not mving simply being careful of Alec. When they made to pull him off she glared at them. "I demand to know whats going on", she said as they pulled him away one tring to help her to her feet but she slapped his hand away and got to her feet on her own. Violet eyes blazing fiercely as she awaited an explination.

He sucked in a breath and leaned against Lilly. He felt as though he couldn't move his own limbs. The two arrows, were pierced in the same place in his shoulders. Some sort of poison he guessed was in the arrows, making it impossible for him to move and with two arrows, it spread faster than it would with one. He heard Lilly and the guards approaching. The feeling of them grabbing him away from her and dragging him into a huddle of guards. He couldn't hear Lilly after that as the talk through the guards drowned her out. Two supported him as two others gripped the arrows. Without even a slight warning, they ripped them from his shoulders. A muffled cry came from him as he bit his tongue to stay quite. The arrows had been deep in his shoulders, the archers who had taken the hits had been experts of having deep wounds but not to be deadly.
One of the guards who was in the group around Lilly to take her back to the castle, spoke up as he was the one who was given the orders to take action if the criminal's son got to close. That had been close. "Milady, this man is the son of the man that killed one of the noblemen. There is no chance that will allow you to meet the same fate. We have also been told that Alec Freer has been accused of stealing. Milady, me must return to the castle now." Him and the other men were ready to go. Alec was already gone with the other guards on their way to the castle as well.

Lilly tried to look around them after Alec. But turned her glare on the speaking guard. Lips parted and closed a few times as though to speak she couldn't. Looking away fists clentched. She got him hurt. After she said she wouldn't. Looking at the guard she humphed and pulled her hood over her head. Moving past him to head back as she was supposed to but on her way she made sure to step hand with her heel on his foot.
Making no effort to Keep her temper hidden. Moving at a rather quick pace for her-self. If the guards were able to keep up or not she didn't care. Moving to the castle. Not so much as stopping to say her normal good byes. Everyone moved from the way though having never seen their good natured sweet and gebtle princess in such a mood. But violet eyes blazed almost like her fires. Small frame ridgid with fury as well. Sweeping threw the castle gates ignoring the guards looks. Once from sight she fled to the royal stables and to her mare's stall.

The guards held tight to his arms, making his shoulder wounds hurt. The guards weren't completely nice about being gently. He only figured they weren't in the mood to be nice to a wrongly convicted man. He knew that they weren't going to stand by to let a criminal's son kiss their princess. He shouldn't have made a move. It was stupid and now he was going to have to deal with it in the worse possible way. He caught a glance of an angry Lilly before disappearing into the dark Dungeons.
There weren't many people in the cells, there were two in each one though. He only guessed to just make it easier incase the crime rate had a spike. The guards were mumbling about something that he wasn't paying attention to. Hearing the click of a door and the hinges creak, he was tossed in, landing upon his back, sending a ping of pain in his shoulders. The cell was slammed shut and he could hear the word reunion being said by one of the guards as they disappeared. It was silent then. He laid there, still almost impossible to move in the cold dark cell. Then he heard a rustle and a voice he didn't want to hear. "Alec?" Turning his head as much as he could, his dad came into view. Turning away from him, Alec spread his mind away from the place. He always felt better when talking to animals. Finding the stable, he heard the voices of the horses. It was only comfort he could find in that moment.

Lilly slipped in the stall and hugged the mare's neck tightly as she could without harming her. Gracey whickered softly nuzzling her upset mistress. The mare calmed her always. It was she felt the weight of getting Alec in the situation, and mixed witrh other feelings it was hard and then she was angery with the men of the palace for what they did. After a moment the sound of hooves made her looked around. It was the guardswoman Alanna. An idea dawned on her.
Later that day as the shift changed she followed the basicly growling woman. Lilly sighed mentally. Just to think the healer was tempermental talk about good bedsdie manners. Getting the keys Alanna let her find the young man. Opening the door Lilly nodded to after a glance in. She quickly moved in but not to close to Alec in case he felt bad feelings to her. Violet fire bloomed in her palm just brigth enough to show faces. "Alec... I brought someone who can fix the wounds.... If you let her...", she stopped there looking away. She felt ashamed of her-self and had spent much the time ordering Alanna thinking how she could make it up to him. Alanna stood in the door way tapping a boot watching for any othe guards.

As he drifted through the minds of the horses' the drugs from the arrows dug deep into his mind, making him fall into sleep. It was a difficult and uncomfortable. He shifted almost constantly. Alec had no idea that his father, who ironically shared the cell with him was concerned for his, now grown son. When the sound of the doors opening, his dad fell silent as the guard and other girl entered.
Alec jerked awake when he heard his name. His eyes opened to see Lilly's violet eyes. He saw the guard standing behind her and he could tell in the dim light she didn't seem to happy. Looking back at Lilly he nodded his head to accept the help. Carefully he sat himself up, his shoulders stiff and hurting. Once he was up he reached down on his waist to find the one dagger he had had with him gone. He didn't see why guards had to be so investigative. Glancing at Lilly then away he couldn't help but laugh softy. "That would have to be the worse crash and burn on record..." He wasn't angry at Lilly. He should have been watching and knowing what was going on around him but he just had to make a mistake at the worst time. He watched the guard with caution.

The moment he nodded Alanna pulled a dagger from her belt. She had to pull the arrows out. Now this would end up intresting. Going to him she shifted looking at Lilly for light who set her small ball on the ground near her for the light. Not saying a word Alanna cut a bit of his shirt and took hold of one arrow being sure of the angel looked to Lilly.
Lilly looked at him and gave a small smile. She took his hand as Alanna took hold of an arrow. "Seems you have a strange sense of humor as well", she mused softly,"Just squeeze my hand if you must she's going to pull them out" Violet eyes looked in his as Alanna jerked hard and quick pulling one, quickly while he still had the one in mind she did the same to the second. Crouching down she placed a hand over the wound and focused.
When she stood belting the dagger the wound was naught, and the affects of any drug most likely worn or almost gone. A look from Lilly made her mutter and leave the cell but only just out side to be sure she came out.

He watched the guard approach him and didn't feel completely happy about her having a dagger but figured that he was gonna be find since Lilly was there. When she spoke about the arrow he nodded and was going to say something but cut off by the pain of the arrow being pulled out. "Son of a." He cut himself off but turned to glare at the guard. "No such things are warnings around here?"
Once the guard was finished, he gave her a small thank you look before turning to Lilly he rubbed his healed shoulder as he was completely able to move without feeling the effect of the drug. "Thanks for doing that." He was referring to having the guard heal him. Looking around the place he gave Lilly a small worried look. "You shouldn't be down here. Its freaky enough but the people are even freakier..." There was a shifting of a person in the back of the cell, who couldn't help but smirk. "Like your Dad, Alec?" Hearing him, Alec had almost forgot he was there. Turning he glared at him. "Yeah. Like you." This was going to be fun...

Lilly smiled softly at him. Glad he was ok. She shook her head. "I had to. I said I wouldn't get you caught and", she trailed of with a sigh. Jumping violet eyes wide hearing a voice. Now that she wasn't expecting. Having forgotten there was two to a cell. Looking around taking her violet fire in hand once more. She eyed the man then looked at Alec.
"I'm not scared Alec. I may be a noblewoman but doesn't mean I shreik like one", she said softly. Tucking a lock of hair behind her ear as she spoke. "So this is why your automaticly a convict" , she asked Alec looking at the man he called his dad. Head tilted slightly making raven lock slide down to one side. Lilly looked from Alec to the man wanting to see what would happen. She was thinking what the next move would be. She didn't want him to stay here in the prison.

Alec looked over at Lilly after she spoke. He shook his head lightly but had a small smile on his lips. When he turned back to his dad, who to the time to come closer, Alec glared at him. His dad (John we'll name him) looked at Lilly as he figured out who she was. "Hanging with the princess Alec? You have changed a lot since I last saw you... How is Max?" Alec rolled his eyes, he didn't answer the first question. "Max left. I don't know where she went.. It was soon after you got yourself put here." His dad shook his head. "Alright, so why are you in here?" He looked over at Lilly as he didn't answer his dad right then. He didn't really want to. This wasn't going to end in nice conversation he could already tell.

Lilly listened to them. Felling a little lost but that was all well. She knew little of Alec. When his father asked what he was doing in here she felt her cheeks grow warm and looked up as though trying to ignore them. Her mind still working out ideas. Arms crossed as she shifted moving from her heels to her knees not caring if it ruined her dress or anything. Which considering who she was it was rather strange.
"Who's Max", she asked the ceiling before she looked down at Alec. Her voice soft still. Not wanting much chnace of her words being heard. She couldn't help it she was worse than a cat. Curisouse beyond reasoning. "Sorry", she muttered right after she asked.

Alec could feel his dad's questioning eyes on him. He wasn't going to answer his question. If he did it would end up with him saying something he'll regret. Before his dad had felt to end up here they had had one stand off and he could still feel that same tension in the room. When Lilly spoke up he couldn't help but feel relieved to be able to talk to her instead. "She's my sister. When she was 16 she left and didn't leave any trace of where she had gone to." It was easy for him to answer since he had to answer the question many times over to old friends and other people that used to be friends with the family. When he saw that she was now kneeling, he shifted to be slightly closer to her. He could still feel the eyes of his dad on him. Clearing his throat he spoke up. "Any idea why she left, Alec?" A glare came from Alec as he was ready to just let himself get everything out..

Lilly listened to his anwser and then nodded. Violet eyes turned on him when he moved closer to her. Soft smile was given. His father's presence didn't seem to be a good influnce on him. But she said naught. Alec seemed a little tense about him.
Shifting slightly arm touched his but she said and did nothing more for a moment. "I might have an idea. But only if you want it. I won't tell him. As far as I'm concered you are not guilty of the crime they put you in here for. But he is. Please don't tell me that I needn't worry over you or it's not my burden. Its my fault you are here. And don't say else wise we both know it true", she said eyes on Alec and Alec only. Forgetting the older man for now.

Alec's dad could tell there was something up between the two of them and had an idea what it was. He didn't see how that was going to work out with the princess, but then it could work out for him if he could get Alec to understand him.. Fat chance that was as Alec was a to good good doer. So he just sighed and sat back to let them converse between themselves. He would get answers from Alec later.
Sitting near Lilly, he felt her arm touch him but only for a brief moment he turned towards her. He listened carefully to her, watching her violet eyes. He shook his head at her. "You should know I'm not good with rules.. Its not your fault. For me, that was a careless mistake. You shouldn't worry." He whispered to her as he placed his hand on her arm in a slight comforting motion but that was that. He then gave her a smirk. "Besides, I'll be able to find out some way to get out.." So he was being slightly cocky about that since he would defiantly need an outside source to help him out.

Llily sighed lightly at his words. Why was it when she made sense she was always told she was wrong? Grabbing his arm she moved slightly closer. "Alec, your thinking with your pride. Come now. How would it be possible without help? Who knows better the shifts than I? Who knows this castle better than I? Just stop and think. Plus I want to be sure you get out ok", she said. Blush creeping on her cheeks at the last bit.
She didn't move at all just looked in his eyes steadily. Showing she wouldn't step down. Lilly could be presistant in her own ways as it was. "Plus if you wish I would rather not have to come here to see you again", she added in a softer tone.
