They set out at first, quietly walking through the hallway, Amelia hopping
parts of loose wood that would creak if you stepped on it. They first
wanted to try sneaking out and if an alarm was set, their plan would go
into action. Amelia slowed to a stop at Filia's door, glancing at it with
spite and consideration. She questioned herself one last time, everything
they said running through her head, and continued a little slowly. Thoughts
such as "Are you sure you want to go through with it?" and then a random
question, "Are you sure you want to be alone??" It made her pause for a
moment. 'Alone? Hah, where did my mind go?' she thought, even though it
wasn't as sarcastic as she had planned it to be. Xellos gave her a sideways
glance from ahead.
"Something wrong? You stopped. Don't tell me your reconsidering staying with THAT golden dragon," He asked sourly, throwing a bit of hate into Filia's name. Amelia glared at him for interrupting her thoughts.
"Nothing is wrong, got it? Now shut up or we'll be caught before we even get a chance," she hissed, the coldness in her voice making her jump afterwards. Something twinged at the back of her mind, demanding she feel sorry for the way she snapped. She ignored it for the moment, kneeling down to the crack at the bottom of Filia's door. With a few hand gestures, she cast a sleep spell into the room. A smirk crossed her face. 'Take that, sis.' Her mind having a bit of fun with it, but the little thought still hovered in her mind, prying her to be guilty even just a bit. In the end though, she thought it best to keep her mouth shut.
Xellos, hovered over the next part of the lower level hallway, an alarm set to go off if anyone touched the floor. They had covered the past two, Amelia putting more sleep spells into Lina, Gourry an Zelgadis's rooms. She didn't bother putting one in Valgaav's room. He already knew what she wanted to do, and had no problem with it. They still had two levels to go before they were outside, though. He turned back to see Amelia deep in thought, almost as if she were in a staring contest with something on the floor. But in her eyes, she didn't even see the floor.
"Amelia, Amelia! You realize your heading for a trap zone right?" he warned her telepathically. She didn't respond, only continued to slowly walk down the hallway, eyes attached to the floor. He was already more then halfway across the hall, while she hadn't even realized that they had made it to the trap level. He tried to reach her again. "Amelia!! Good morning! Wake up!" she still didn't respond. Giving a look of pure irritation now, he noticed she was about four feet away from the trap floor. He flew back towards her, her expression never even changing the slightest bit. Amelia came closer, a little quicker then he had expected. Her foot touched the end of the floor, one more step meaning their original plan would have to take root.
"Amelia!" he said aloud, snapping her out of her trance. She noticed her foot moving to the floor, and realization hit, trying to balance herself out so she wouldn't step down. Her foot swung back, making her trip. 'Oh crap!!' Closing her eyes, she waited to hit the floor, but never met with solid ground. Instead, she fell into a pair of arms. Amelia opened her eyes to see Xellos above her, his arms cradling her. She laid her head against his chest on impulse to not fall. 'Hey, he's stronger then he looks. What a physique. .' her mind said wistfully. Shock came over her again, blinking out of her weird daydream-ish state. 'What'd I just say???' Thoughts screamed. Bringing her hand up, she noticed her face to be warm. 'Oh no! I'm blushing again!!! What the hell??' Amelia yelled at herself, shaking her head. Xellos jerked up to look down the long corridor.
"Damn, seems as though we've been heard," he mumbled. No sooner then, the alarm shrieked, the sounds of clattering armored feet moving down and up the stairs.
"Okay, time to run," Amelia added dryly as she took off down he steps. Xellos flew after her and caught up. He gave her a quick glance and she nodded back to him. The moment they turned the corner they would be met with the first wave of guards and they were well ready to put their plan to action. Xellos flew a few feet ahead of her and grabbed her arm. Turning the corner with a jerk, he was able to yank Amelia in front of him, his staff poised at her throat, that calm demeanor not as noticeable. Amelia in turn, put on a face she knew quite well, the face of distress. The guards halted abruptly. The leader of the group stepped forward.
"Let the princess go and maybe we'll consider your fate or else. ." He trailed off nervously. Xellos smirked at his reaction, pure fear.
"Or else what, captain?" He asked coolly, his purple eyes gleaming threateningly. All that was heard were the whimpers of what was suppose to be the bravest men in Seyruun. What cowards they all were. Amelia through all of this, had a hand behind her back, a Blast Ash ready. Xellos waved his staff, the jewel glowing brightly. A few seconds past and the guards stopped their trembling. They charged at full speed, just the moment they were waiting for. They fired their attacks simultaneously at them, blowing them away and leaving a nice hole at the end of the hall, a nice exit big enough for the two of them to escape through. With the path cleared for e moment they mad a dash for the hole. Amelia ran with the best might she could, 'Almost there!' she cheered herself on, 'Almost. what the??' she looked down to see a general guard grab her wrist and hold her back.
"Don't worry princess, I'll save you," he said boldly, his sword raised to Xellos. She flailed violently in his grasp.
"Let go you bastard! I said, let go!" she yelled, swinging her elbow back and beaming him in the face. He tipped over, unconscious. Amelia noticed that Xellos was beginning to fly towards the hole again, and this time took the initiative. Picking up speed, she reached out and grabbed his arm, supporting herself up. She glared at him.
"The least you could do is lend me a hand!" she complained jokingly. He smirked at the comment.
"My my, I didn't think you would be one to ask for help, especially from me, Ms. Amelia!" He answered in the same tone.
"Shut up," she retorted, almost laughing. She turned to look ahead, her mind involuntarily counting the distance left. '10 feet. . 8. . 4. . 1!!!' They burst out of the narrow space, a bit of leftover glass flying from the window that used to be there. Xellos landed them both outside the courtyard and scanned the area.
"More guards will be here soon," he muttered, "Where to?" he turned to look at her. Again she was caught in his stare, but noticed early enough to answer before she was clouded over.
"It doesn't matter. Anywhere that's far away from here," she answered with a sigh. He shrugged.
"Alright then," he said cheerfully as he picked her up and they both phased out into the night.
