Sorry people for not doing this sooner but I had to help my friend Samantha, she slipped down the stairs and sliced her knee open, here it is!

His heart racing, Roger watched as the young vixen walked slowly to where they we're standing, she was exactly as he remembered, her black hair, her eyes, the way she walked, the way she smiled, it was all the same.
"Arianna, there you are dear, I was just talking to Roger over here." Said Sahriah as Arianna walked up
"Roger huh? I once knew someone named Roger." Said Arianna as she nodded at Roger
Blinking, Roger realized she hadn't recognizes him, he was about to reply, but decided against it, simply saying,"Pleased to meet you, miss"
Heart still racing, he decided he should leave, and quickly.
"I have to go now Sahriah, keep well!" He turned to Arianna, "Good day miss" and he walked off.
"What a strange man." Said Arianna,
"Funny, I've known him for a while and he's never acted like this!" Said Sahriah, turning to Arianna she winked and said "Maybe he saw someone he liked!"
Blushing hard she replied "I doubt that, Anyway, you said you needed me to help out today?"
"Yeah, I'm going to take a nice little stroll on the beach with Tor, remember him?"
Arianna giggled *Oh yes, don't worry, I'll look after the stand while you're gone."
"Thanks Anna!" Sahriah replied pulling her into a hug,"I'll see you later!"
Gulping hard as he walked, Roger felt nauseous, his knees feeling weak, he doesn't even think about where he's walking, he soon walks into an armored soldier.
"Watch it, peasant! Or I'll have you flogged!" The man grumbled.
Apologizing Roger kept walking, he wanted nothing but to get away from the market, to get away from the district, to get away from the whole city.
"Why?" He whispered, "Dammit, why is she here?"
The sea was calm, as Sahriah and Tor sat peacefully admiring the sunset over the blue waves, "Thank you for coming with me, Sahriah." said Tor.
Gazing into his eyes she took his hand in hers and said "The pleasure was all mine!", Leaning towards him she kissed him deeply, Tor shuddered through surprise, and returned the kiss, caressing her cheek softly, it felt like they were kissing forever, their lips locked, it was a few seconds more before the kiss finally broke, laying her head on his shoulder, hand in hand, they both watched the sea, it wasn't long before they were joined by another man.
the night was cool and well lit by the moon, as she slept peacefully, Arianna moved little in her sleep, twitching only slightly, the door opened with a creak, her eyes opening she sat up quickly, covering herself with her blanket, "W-who's there?" she asked nervously, staring at the figure in the doorway.
"Do not fear, it is only I." Whispered Argos, "You must come immediately! It is not safe for you here!" He said as he grabbed some clothes and through them on the bed,
"Why? What's happening Argos?" Asked the frightened vixen,
"I'll explain when we get there, just get dressed, I'll wait outside." He said as walked out.
Getting dressed as fast as she could, she quickly made in out, stopping only to grab her mother's locket.
"What is happening?" she asked, glancing around the empty corridors.
"Be quiet, we have to make as little noise as possible, all the other are waiting for us on the ship." said Argos
"Wait, what sh-" She started before Argos covered her mouth and pulled her aside.
The sound of running metal boots could be heard just outside, A man shouted and inaudible command.
"Who are they loo-" Arianna started again before Argos covered her mouth once more.
"They're looking for us, there's no time to explain, let's go!"
They made their way outside, sticking to the shadows and dark alleys, until they reached the gate, she looked back as they exited the city, it was so calm, so peaceful.
"Over there!" Whispered Argos, pointing.
Looking at what he was pointing at, she saw a 3 ships under heavy guard, two of them were already setting sail.
"We must go quickly, before they leave us!" said Argos, starting to run.
As she ran, Arianna couldn't help but wonder at what was going on, "What have I got myself into now!?" She thought
