Maeve walked briskly through the night to an unknown destination. She didn't care. She just needed space. She needed to be away. Maeve was deep in her thoughts when she heard the sound of twigs snapping. She quickly turned on heel to see who made the noise. Her vision became blurred when a cloud of powder engulfed her. She felt dizzy. Maeve wobbled back and forth until she collapsed. The last image her eyes fell upon were of Aidan....
As soon as Maeve was out cold, Aidan bound her hands and feet. He threw her over his shoulder and carried her away.....
Rumina sneered with delight the minute she saw Aidan coming towards her with the girl in tow. Finally she could get her real revenge on the woman who defied her. Aidan brought the girl down to the floor revealing her face to Rumina. The witches eyes grew wide in astonishment. The woman! "It's the peasant wench!" The young peasant she searched for all these years was right in front of her all along. Rumina cursed herself for not remembering Maeve from before. She took a deep breath, "Well, well, well. This is a pleasant surprise, I set my sights on a peasant girl and lo! I catch a peasant witch! (My homage to Disney's Sleeping Beauty just in case your wondering)" Aidan had no clue what the woman spoke of but smiled anyway.
"Was Sinbad with her?" Rumina suddenly constructing a plan of attack.
"Yes, milady." Aidan went cold at the thought of the arrogant captain. Rumina smirked, "Good, bring me Sinbad."
Aidan smiled, "Gladly." He would do anything to rid himself of Sinbad.
"Excellent." Rumina coyly smiled.
Aidan retreated.
Sinbad, still quite drunk, staggered out into the night hoping to find Maeve. He tried to focus his eyes. When his eyes came into focus he was face to face with Aidan. Sinbad tried to speak when he was engulfed in a cloud of smoke, then darkness....
