Staying behind as her friends left to go home Julianne worked the flowers into the weeve of a flower necklace she had been toying with as she watched them go. She had come with them to get away from town and have some fun with her friends. A soft sigh was given and she walked along the rows of trees silently. Queen and Jynx followed her. Jynx stumbling till she swooped down and scooped the young kitten up and craddled her. Tucking golden locks back as she walked. Stopping she looked about. "I wonder what he is up to" she mused out loud wathcing Queen chase after prey of imaginary or real sorts she could't tell. Peeting the kitten voice soft. Her mind had been on the prince lately since they had kissed. Shge hadn't seen him since the day. She worried but didn't let it show for fear soemone would question her. Juli walked along slowly petting the kitten as she went.

[Enter Hamlet] "Just tie the rope and kick the chair Leave me hanging there, gasping for air.."
The sounds of hooves thundered against the ground as Hamlet clung to his mare, saddless and brideless. If you just litened absent mindedly you would just think it was a rider and horse just galloping along, but if you paid more attention you could hear it was a persuit. Hamlet leaned down on to his mare's neck as his eyes were staring atraight ahead, trying to keep low enough to miss arrows that were being shot at him. He wasn't dressed in the atire that he would normally be dressed in but looked exactly how he did when he was just lounging around the castle. a white shirt which had been torn at the shoulder with red dots on it black pants and no shoes.
I have to think of a way to get them off of our trail. he thought to himself. Of course this wasn't just your average chase of a theif and the guards were hot on his trail. No this was the Prince of Von Maur. The Prince that has been the latest of gossip the one who had pretty much falling for a commoner girl. Now he was being chased by men he didn't even know. He had to disappear for a while, he had to get them to think he left or died some where. His mare was growing tired from the running and he knew he had to get them off her trail and he would meet up later. Slowing her down at and even stride he soon leaped off of her and landed in a pile of leaves letting his mare continue on. He ducked lightly watching as the men strode passed him and quickly he scrambled out. It wouldn't be long until the figured out he wasn't on the horse any more.
Darkend path kept running until she didn't hear hoofs behind her. Slowing down the mare moved into a stride slow only to come to find that the young woman his master so quitely was fond of was infront of her. Trotting happily she nickered to the young woman her as she moved towards Juli.
And I think I know Why you never get to close It's cause you're too scared to When I'm with you There's no point in breathing.."

Seting the kitten down she brushed hair from her lilac dress.Silverblue eyes looked about. Picking an apple she inspected it and took a bit of the sweet fruit. Carefully sitting down next to the kitten as it punced on the white cat who returned from her chase. Juli watched them silently. The sound of hooves cought her attention making her look up. Standing seeing Path comming her direction. Looking at her she saw no tack or rider. What was this she wondered. Moving to the mare she plucked another apple and offered it to her. A gentle hand resting on the mare's neck. She looked tired as though she had been running. "Where is your master misteress Path" she spoke softly to her. Findign animals were calm when she spoke to them with gentle tones and petted them with kind hands. Looking to the cats she firmly told them to stay and turned back to the mare. Queen would keep the kitten there till she returned. "Can you show me"she asked her softly. If the mar knew her meaning or not she didn't care but perhaps the horse would lead her to whereever she came from.

Listening to the womans toned she lightly nudged her of course this was her way of saying hello back. Path happily obliged with taking the apple from her. If horses could smile you bet your sweet a** she would be. Chomping into the apple Path's easrs twitched with contentment tail flicking as the juice lightly dribbled form her mouth. She had totally forgotten about her master and the horrible problem he was in for she was too obsorbed into the apple. When the apple was finnished she kept nibbling at Juli's hand and with a lick she licked the juice off of it. Of course this was most certainly disasteful for a human but by all means not for the mare. Ears twitched when the woman spoke again about her master and head went up and down viogrously as she soon tucked her head towards her chest and pawed at the ground with her front hoof. If looked close enough onto the mares back now that she tucked her head, you could see a little spot about the size of a gold dollar coin ( maybe a little bit bigger )of blood. Of course not from her but rather from Hamlet's wounded shoulder. As her hoof kept touching the ground she gave a snort and ears flattend against her skull.
Hamlet as successively gotten rid of those metal heads which seemed to be hot on his trail. Moving stealthly along, his ninja like traits now becoming more evident, he stalked around the trees. Eyes and ears ever so alert for sound or movement. Moving towards a tree he easily leaped and swung himself upwards. Crouching like a ninja upon the limb he peered through the leafs spotting one of the metal heads still upon his horse looking for him. A smirk touched Hamlets lips as he moved up a limb of the tree and like a cat, using both his hands and feet in keeping his balance he moved acrossed the limb and leaped from there all the way to the next one. Now for any other human being this would have been difficult but because of who Hamlet was and his abilites he was more capable then your average human. Blood flowed from his arm in a tear drop running down into his white shirt but he didn't care how much it stung he was about to become the murderer every one sought him out to be. Yes Hamlet.. Take his life. Just like the first man you had killed. Predator eyes watched the man on the horse as he was ridding straight towards him. Fingers gripped into the tree bark as he rests back on his feet like they were the haunches of an animal. But a movement caught his attention and he glances that way. Juli... The man has successively passed beneath the tree where the prince was and was now out of complete reach for Hamlet to even get him. Glancin back at the man he had let go he waited till he was out of sight and slid hopped down. Landing on his feet he paused and waited before raising to make sure no one was around that wanted to cause him harm.

Julianne made a slight face as the mare licked her face but ignored it. She was the one who gave the horse the apple. Watching the mare her blue eyes caught sight of somethign and leaned closer to inspect it and frowned. Blood. Surely not the mares she looked fine. Then whose. Shifting uneasily she whispered softly to the mare to calm her. "Easy pretty girl. it's ok. Well find him ok", she said. Moving past the mare she looked down the next row of trees to see if anything came in veiw. Looking at Path she tucked her hair behind her ear, uneasy. What was going on. Moving away from the tree she had looked around she looked about thinking. Looking down at a tuc on her skirt she sight and picked Jynx up before she ripped her skirt with her claws. The kitten trust her little head agianst Juli's shoulder as though hidding. Julianne shifted ignoring the kitten.

Hamlet soon rose up only slightly and moved through the rows of trees. Bare feet touched the ground gently in a silent type way only he seemed to be able to conqure. he wondered where his mare had gotten off to, but first things first. What are you doing Hamlet?? Take those men out!! think of all the trouble you will be in if you don't get them off your back! he shakes his head lightly and zipped behind a tree as yet another man could be dected coming his direction. Leaning his back against the tree he held his breath and lightly turned his head to the side watching the guy. The longer he stuck around the more it was going to be him getting caught. he had to grab path and get out of here, no matter how tired she was. he closes his eyes and breathed in. He bet they were working for Atticus. Just his luck. Lowering lightly into a crouch again he peered around the trunk just as the guy passed and zipped to the other tree. "There he IS!"
d**n it! he paused and looked behind him giving a sheepish smile before he took off on foot. He ran so quickly acrossed that it almost seemed his feet never touched the ground to begin with. Arms pumped as legs carried him in a sprint dodging as arrows came flying at him. Putting his fingers to his lips he gave a shrill calling whistle that would echo just about anywhere to Path. but up ahead she was there with Juli. "GET ON PATH!!! GET ON PATH!!!" he yelled at her. When he had reached the girls, arrows went zooming. They most certainly had bad aim but it was probably a good thing. Pulling himself up onto his mares back he put a hand down to Juli to help her up.

Juli caught the sound of a voice and frowned. Something wasn't right. Craddling the kitten in one arm she listened hard. But suddenly Hamlet came into veiw running and arrows raining after him basicly. Eyes went wide in surprise. Sort of frozen as he yelled for her to get on Path. Only when he mounted up and heold a hand down for her was she able to move. Taking his hand and with his help she got on behidn him careful not to squish the poor kitten. Queen wasn;t about she ran off at the commotion. An arm went around his waist tightly. Horses made her nervous. Not when she was on the ground but on their backs. That was one reason she didn;t have one even though she could get one whenever she wanted. She wanted to ask what was going on but soemthing in her mind told her not to speak and just hold on. Scared of what was to come. Galloping on a horse. Walking was ok, troting fine, cantering bad, galloping big no no.

He had always known that Juli was never to fond of being on Path. They had experienced that enough when Path nearly bucked her off one time and if it wasn't for him lets say Juli probably would be stuck with a scar on the side of her head. For he had caught her just in time when she fell off of Path and landed on him, you could say that was the real time Hamlet actually found himself really liking this girl. "Hold on." He said to her. With a sharp kick Path turned sharply and took off with a start. Arrows zipping passed them and landing onto trees. Now where would they go?? How would they get away? d**nit... he should had killed that guy back there at lest one of them would have been taken care of and now what was worse he had Juli in this but he couldn't leave her behind. For infact if this men were working for Atticus he would have most deffinately told them about her. Even if he hadn't he couldn't risk it. Hamlet leaned lightly fowards keeping a good tab on where Path went making sure to keep her not running in a straight line as it was when it was just him and her, but instead zigzaging between the trees. For now he had Juli and hitting her would have been easier for she couldn't bend down as far as he could.
The moved out of the apple feild and headed more into the town area that was close by. Here they were sure to loose them Path had the moves to keep those men at bay behind them and in the town she was like a saint. A quick witted mare she was. As they reached the town he had let Path do most of the work for this was like her speciality. She zipped down a near by ally and turned sharply left, moving in between a couple of buildings she headed down yet another alley to her right. The mare was slowing her stride and soon before they knew it the men that had been chaseing them were lost. The mare came to a stop now as she headed back towards a small little closed meadow near the apple orcherd. Slipping off his mare he gave her a path and went to help Juli down. Frowning as he did so.

Juli held on putting Jynx between them. Gasping when the mare lurched forward her grip on his tightened and she hid her face in his back. Fear made her tense. Mently praying she wouldntt fall. The zigzaging made her stomack lurch and she held him a little tighter. The kitten meowed at being half squished between them but she ignored it. When they reached the town and did the sharp turnes she almost wanted to faint feeling as though she would fall. At last when they stopped and he got off the kitten leap down. Julianne quickly slipped down and ignoring him took a few good strides past him away from the horse and sank to her knees and sat down. Pale from their ride she clsoed her eyes willing her pounding heart to stop. "Never, never again", her voice was strianed. Hamlets kitten hopped over to her and turned to look at him and meowed rappidly at him almost like she was scolding him for scaring Juli. The girl gave a shaky smile and pett the small animal. "I'm fine Jynx" she whispered.

She just moved passed him. he lightly glanced at her but soon he moved a few paces from her giving room for her to breath and calm back down. Listening to Jynx meow at him as though she was scolding him he did nothing except look away. He had just probably saved their lives so he didn't want to her hear it. falling into a sit he finally takes a look at his arm and clenched his jaws. Ripping othe torn shirt into a thin arm arm he rapped it around it arm. Ripping the other side of his long sleeved shirt he did the same to make it even except he didn't tie it around his other arm.. It wasn't bleeding. falling into a sit on the grass he looks to his mare who grazed near him. Hamlet was exhausted from that chase and he knew that if he showed his face around there again there would be some trouble.. he just prayed Laios would show up soon.

After Julianne calmed she shooed the kitten away from her and stood. Over her scare she walked slowly to Hamlet and settled before him. Seeing his arm her eyes clouded with worry. "Are you ok. What was all that", she asked him softly. Color returnign to her face now she was calming from her scare. A gentle hand went to his hand to grip it. If worry killed she might drop dead soon with this boy. He had her worried often. Yet she didn't care. They seemed to spend so much time together. She cared for him alot. More than cared for him. It was almost like she loved him. Her heart ached wehn he was gone. It pounded when he was around and almost stopped when he touched her. The whole thign was scarey yet she didn;t want it to stop. Hamlet ment a lot to her. If he felt the same way about her she didn't know but she wouldn;t ask either.

Hands went up to his head and lightly brushed back his black hair. It was now time to think on what he could do. He could however stick around Juli for a while but it would seem to him he was only dragging her father into it and if she got hurt. Oh god.. he would never forgive himself.. and besides that she didn't seem to much on horses for she nearly killed over when she was forced to get on Path. So that was out of the question. He rubbed the side of his face as his mind kept in its distracted dispostion that he almost didn't notice Juli moving towards him. When she spoke and then grabbed his hand. As she gripped it he did the same in return and smiled very weakly to her. "That? Oh.... Group of guys wanting me dead. nothing big." he shrugs his shoulders. he could see worry in her eyes but he didn't need to tell her everything once again that would be dragging her into it. "using his other hand he brushed the side of her face. "hey don't worry about me. I'll be fine." he smiled confidently and even though as it was present on his face he was doubting in the back of his mind.

Juli looked at him as though he grew two heads when he spoke at frist. Sort of flinching when he touched her cheek but that was because she hadn't seen his hand lift up to touch her. "Nothing big, don't worry about you", she whsipered. She looked away then at him taking a breath. "Your crazy", she informed him. Rather suddenly she threw her arms around his neck hugging him tightly. Burring her face in his chest. She trembled slightly. Eyes closed tightly. "Your crazy", she said again in his short. Her voice muffled. She would only let go if he wantered her to. Honestly she didn't want to let go. Juli took a deep breath.

He didn't expect her to cringer when he rose his hand and he watched her. Maybe he was a bit rough with her from time to time, but he wouldn't be classified as a woman beater. No. he never truthfully hurt her maybe others that were close to him, like his mother....That stopped his thoughts all together. he never meant to hit her but it just happened and when it did it did it all to fast. Closesing his eyes for a second he waited for her to make a sound.
When she spoke his brow rose as eyes opened and he laughs. "tell me something new already." he drew his eyes away from him as he breath in deeply. But suddenly she lunged towards him as though he was getting attacked not expecting it he lightly faltered backwards only catching himself with his hand. As she burried her face into him and nuzzled against him he smiled. It was something he couldn't keep off of his face no matter how hard he tried. He nuzzled gently onto the top of her head and whispered. "Crazy is as crazy does. I just happen to be a bit more spontaneous." He closes his eyes and kisses the top of her head wrapping his other arm around her as he held her, the other arm keeping himself propped up.

Julianne laughed into his shirt at his words. Staying there for a moment before she carefully let go of him looking at him. A slight pink on her cheeks. "Crazy you may be but you are my crazy prince" she said promtly. Bowing her head making her blond locks fall forward hidding her face, which was hot with blush. What insane inpulsde made her say that! Now he would laugh at her. She didn't look up but instead plucked Jynx from the grass beside her and set the kitten in her lap. Fingers brushed one side of her hair back tucing it behind her ear. Half her face hidden still though. She waited for him to laugh. Or for him to say something.
