Midnight found her way out, and whistled to her wolf. Magic came with a leap, and she hurried to blend into the crowd. She didn't want to look back; her feelings were hurt after what the man had said, she had only wanted to see the bells. But she thanked the girl for saving her.

Nayda who was chasing after her finally caught up to her. She grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into an alleyway She puts her hand over hr mouth "Shhhh...I want to help you...I know where you can be safe...but no yelling ok?"

Midnight looked at the girl and tried not to. "Okay...where?" She asked as Magic growled at the young girl.

"It's a gypsy's haven...Called the court of miracles...you've probably heard of it...but only gypsies know where it is" "Hurry… Frollo might send his men at anytime" and with that she grabbed her arm and started to run.

Midnight gasped as she was pulled along. She wasn't sure if the girl was telling the truth, but right now she want to be far away form the church. She didn't want to go near there again. "Okay...slow down…" She said.

She did a few circles around the town making sure no one was on her trail. After deciding the cost was clear she went into the graveyard where the entrance to the court was hidden. She walked up to a large royalty size crypt and slid of the lid. Under the lid were stairs descending to darkness. "Come on this way" she said as she lit a torch and started to walk down.

Middy stood close to her wolf just incase, her blue eyes looked around as they walked. "Your not going to hurt me for helping that boy...he let me ring the bell" she said

"Hurt you?" Nayda laughed. "Your on our side...don't worry we hate that evil man as much as you" "Its people like him that cause us to hide in places like this" After traveling for a while Nayda leads both into a large open area. Everywhere around them were other gypsies. One particualer gypsy jumped up and ran over to Nayda the moment he saw her "Nayda!" He yelled as he huged her. He looked at her and smiled. His smile diminished shortly though when he looked over and saw the other girl "And Who is this Nayda?"

Midnight looked at the man and bowed. "I am Midnight Hollow. And this is my friend Magic" she said as the wolf growled lightly.

"SHUT UP...I didn't speak to you!" He yelled and raised his hand to slap her, but Nayda grabbed it and looked at him. "She needs our help...and plus she's an outcast too." The gypsy frown. He hated to have no control over Nayda…He was after all the King of the Gypsies…but he was powerless over Nayda…something about her just made him break down.

"Fine...but she bunks with you...I have no more room for random gypsies"

Nayda smiles and kisses him on the check "Thanks Clopin" She said. Clopin blushed, but quickly tried to pull himself together.

"Go…out of my sight" He said truning away from them. Nayda nodded and led her farther in.

Midnight looked nervous. She knew she had no real home, she was a traveling gypsy, and not really liked by any of her kind. "Maybe I should go…I don't want you in trouble...trust me this is not the first time" She said. Magic growled at her feet, he didn't feel that his master felt safe here, he want her to leave, and she was in danger here.

"Don't worry about that guy...Clopin and I have been the bestest of friends since we were little...I think he was just worried about me..." "But since his dad died he has been a little more uptight..." "His dad was the King of the gypsies...Clopin been tiring to follow in is footsteps but..." She stopped there and looked at Midnight. "Come on…your bunking with me"

"I see well that is understood, a stray gypsy comes into his home…I would be pissed too" She laughed as she followed her. "You know you remind me of a woman I met many times when was younger..."She smiled.

Nayda smiled back. "Thanks I guess" She came to her room and pulled back the blanket that blocked the room from the rest of the place "In here"

"Wow its a lot nicer then the streets" She smiled as she whistles to the wolf to sit. She walked in.

She beamed. "Yeah it isn't much...but we have shelter...food...water and love…" "As I said Clopin my friend takes care of us" Just as she said that Clopin came in.

"Yes I can see that, I must say I am jealous about what you have...you have a great life, it's not much but you have a king that cares for you" Middy said, as she froze as Clopin came in.

Clopin sighed and sat on the third bed in the room, on his lap was a tray.

"I'm sorry..." Clopin said. He put the tray out toward her and looked down. "Here..."

"Thank you…you are very kind" She said taking the tray.

Clopin tried to smile. He looked at Nayda who was smiling big. He cursed himself again…damn it all... Clopin stood up quickly... "I will get your sister now...she should be let known about both of yours roommate" He looked over both of them and walked out.

"Sister...you have a real sister?" Midnight asked after he left.

"Yeah she's all I have left "she's a little protective but she's just being an older sister"

"Really...well I hope she doesn't kick me out" She smiled as she ate some of the food off the tray.

Nayda giggle. "She's not like that...in fact she has had a non-gypsy here once...though he was still being hunted so Clopin father…who was king at the time let him stay" "The man was found though...when he left...and was hung..." "Esmerelda has had a strong hate for the people above now. I don't blame her"

"Esmeralda...that's a beautiful name...and I understand I feel sorry for the guy…and for your sister" "That had to be a hard thing to deal with" She said as she shook her head sadly.

Nayda reached over and grabbed a biscuit from the tray "Yeah..."

"Well then you must have liked lived here with Esmeralda and Clopin your whole life right?"

After a moment of silence the door was flipped open and another older girl stepping in "yes" Nayda said before the other girl stepped in.

Midnight turned to the new girl that entered. "Is that your sister?" She asked Nayda.

Nayda looked behind her when Midnight asked the question.

"Oh yes...Hello Esmi"

Midnight smiled. "She is beautiful...I am soo jealous" She said with a laugh.

Esmeralda smiled. "Thank you stranger" she said jokingly. Esmeralda hung up her shroud and sat on her bed. "So what's your story?"

Midnight sighed as she looked away. "I helped the bell ringer today…and got in danger when some guy caught me in the church and was going to send me to jail, until your sister helped me" She said as she looked over at Nayda and smiled.

Nayda smiled. "Yeps"

Esmeralda stood up quickly "YOU DID WHAT!" it was directed at Nayda.

Nayda cringed. "That man was going to hurt her...I couldn't let that happen..."

"But you could have gotten caught too!"

"Esmi...I can take care of myself!"

Esmeralda huffed and left the room. Nayda sighed sat back down for she had jumped up in her anger as well.

Midnight looked at Nayda. "I am sorry…didn't mean to get you into trouble double time" She said as she tried not to seem upset about it.

"No big deal...just lay low tonight..." "No leavening...got that…at least not tonight..." "need to give time for people above to forget about the gypsy girl in the church" Nayda sighed and flopped down on her back she pulled over the blanket and turned over

"I know...but the bell ringer...he must be lonely up there...he looked so happy when I was there" She said as she also laid down. Magic's fur her pillow as she laid down.

"Yeah... but he's gotten along being alone a long time...he can last another night" She was facing away from Middy. "Now go to sleep..." she pulled up the blanket farther covering her almost completely

Middy nodded as she buried herself into Magic's fur and fell asleep. The bell ringer would have to wait.

Clopin sighed as he stood by the had been listioning to them sence Esmeralda left. He looked down at his purple shoes and wiggled them a little so its bell would sound He hated this. He didn't want another gypsy but he couldn't say no to Nayda. He was torn...one side he wanted her...but he couldn't. He peaked into the room and saw her sleeping. By this point she had done her tossing and truning to where the blanket was almost off of her. He blushed as he saw her in almost nothing. He pulled his head back out, and bit his finger. "Ughs...damn it" he said. He sighed and headed to his chambers.
