Amara made her way over to Aro's room, feeling like it took longer than normal before she stopped at his door. Last time she tried to talk to him, he had yelled at her pretty bad, and she wasnt sure if she was ready to deal with that again. She closed her eyes for a moment before she took a deep breath. Slowly she felt herself raise her hand and knocked on his door. "A-Aro. We need your help" she said before she waited a moment. When she didnt hear a response, she spoke again. "Lorelei wont come out of her room, and we think you're the one person she would come out of her room for, or at least let in. Please. We are worried about her, just like we are worried about you." Aro rolled his eyes hearing the knocks on his door, and hearing Amara speaking to him. He shook his head when she seemed to be finished speaking. "Go away Amara" he snapped, not wanting to deal with her. He was still upset with her for what she did, and not at least giving him a heads up about it. When he heard Lorelei wasnt coming out of her room, he wondered why almost, but wasnt about to sound like he was curious. |

Seb noticed that Amara seemed nervous as the headed down to Aro's room. He remembers her telling him that Aro yelled at her for what she hid from him. Perhaps that is why she is nervous about knocking on his door. He gets why Aro would be upset, but he didn't understand why he had to yell at her. Really, he can't blame her since he never comes out of his room in the first place to know what is going on. He shook his head but kept his opinions to himself. Perhaps the man isn't as half bad once he actually lets someone into his life, but he wouldn't know since he only has had bad experiences with him so far. He listened to what Amara told him, seeing that he only snapped at them to go away. Well, her since he doesn't know that he is out here. He let a sigh leave his lips before knocking on the door himself. "Aro, I beg you to try and see if she will let you in. She needs someone and she won't let me or Amara in. I haven't had this issue before and it only worries me that she is doing something that will only hurt her. I didn't know anything else that could help but you. You're my last resort." He said, his voice holding a tinge of pleading to it. He hoped Aro would understand how important this is. "Will you please go to her, Aro?" |

Amara had winced when Aro snapped at her, telling her to go away. She looked at Sebastian, wondering what else they could do. She looked back at the door as Sebastian spoke to him, hoping he could get through to her brother. She placed her hand on Sebastian's shoulder as she listened to him, waiting for Aro to reply. Aro scoffed when he heard Sebastian now begging him to talk to Lorelei. "I said to go away!" His voice was colder this time, and he heard someone take a step back, assuming it was Amara doing so since she was always jumpy like that when he snapped. He was sorry, but he wasnt about to admit it when he didnt want to deal with her right then. The prince didnt want to let Amara see him like this still. |

Seb could only shake his head at the door when Aro only snapped at him to go away. He noticed that Amara stepped away, causing him to put an arm around her waist. He pressed a kiss to her temple to try and soothe her, but knowing it might not help the best. He wanted to say something like he was going to blame him if Lorelei hurts herself because he wouldn't go to her. He bit his tongue though, knowing that isn't going to help his case on Aro liking him. He doesn't understand why Aro has to be this way and never probably will understand like Lorelei does. "Fine. Whatever. Let's go. I'm done." He said, his arm slipping away from Amara's waist. He quickly walked off, his head shaking. He didn't have hopes that Aro would help but he just wished that he would understand how important it is right now for someone to be there for Lor. "I don't understand, Amara." He said, using her first name. He rarely ever uses her name unless he's stressed, angered, or anxious about something, just like the situation at hand right now. "Let's just go to town and have a picnic. That should help." He muttered, still quite a few paces in front of her with Atticus right at his side. "I need my mind focused on something else at the moment." ~~~~~~~~ Lor finally went into the bathroom, washing her face to try and freshen it up. She glanced at herself in the mirror, seeing it didn't do much for her. She figured it wouldn't considering how depressed she currently is. Her cheeks were red and blotchy and her eyes were all puffy and red from crying. She turned around, lifting her shirt up to look at the scars on her back. Her brows furrowed together as tears once more started to fall from her eyes. She wonders how this even happened. She doesn't even remember what she could've done for someone to kidnap her and do the stuff they did to her. "What did I do to deserve this?" |

Amara looked torn almost when Sebastian started walking away, but she did follow him. Giving a small sigh she kept pace with him, though remained behind, looking back at Aro's room before she looked forward again. "I'm sorry he was so snappy" she said as she looked down. She rubbed her arms slightly as she often did when she was upset about something. She hoped a picnic would help, but she wasnt about to hold her breath. Amara spotted a servant before she spoke to her. "Would you mind getting a lunch basket for Sebastian and I ready. We will be having a picnic in the town and need food." She watched as the servant bowed and took off before Amara picked up her pace to be even with Sebastian. "Do you want to ride, or walk there" she asked as she glanced over at him. ~~~ Aro walked over to a corner of his closet that was usually left for clothes when he left to go outside. He grumbled to himself before he got changed into an off white loose shirt and black pants before he grabbed his pitch black cloack. "I cant believe I am about to do this" he said rather coldly to himself before he put his cloak on, covering his face before he slowly opened the door, making sure his sister and Sebastian werent around. When he saw they werent there, he walked out of his room and started heading towards the room he knew Lorelei would be in. He knocked on the door without saying anything, and before Lorelei could respond, he knocked even louder. |

Seb could hear Amara telling the servants to get a picnic basket ready for them. He continued his pace, clearly not slowing down for her just because she stopped to put a request in. He could only shrug his shoulders when she apologized for her brother's behavior but said nothing nevertheless about it. There was nothing to say. If anything, her brother should be apologizing to him, not Amara doing it for him on his behalf because he won't come out of his room. Pathetic really. "Let's just walk. We can stroll around and greet some of the people before we go off on a picnic." He said as walked towards the exit of the castle. He glanced at her as he forgot why he also went to see her this morning besides just wanting to see her in general. "Amara, darling, I'm wondering something." He said as he pushed the doors to the castle open. He glanced up at the beautiful morning air, breathing in the freshness of it, having it calm him down ever so slightly. "Do you know of any other man coming to this castle for any reason at all?" ~~~~~~~~ Lor dropped her shirt like it was on fire when she heard a knock on her door. Her brows furrowed, wondering who would be at the door. She knew Seb wouldn't be back after trying and her not opening the door the first time around. He knows better and knows her well enough to not even try a second time. Perhaps it is a servant trying to bring her breakfast since it is that time for it or whatever time it is. Clearly, the door is locked for a reason and the servants should understand that means to leave her alone. Then again, she never told them to leave her alone either. When there was another knock that was even louder, she grew even more confused. Someone clearly wants her to come and open the door for them. But who it could be she doesn't know. She didn't even bother to wipe away the tears that are still trailing down her cheeks because didn't really care about how much of a mess she looked like. She still had bed hair, yet it wasn't too bad, her clothes were rather baggy, as usual, but were rather worn looking. She overall didn't look attractive and she didn't really care in the slightest. She went to the door and hesitated before slowly unlocking it. She opened the door up a little bit to see who was there. At seeing who it was, she couldn't help the surprise that appeared on her face. "What are you doing here?" She asked, her voice rather weak and raspy, completely different than what he is used to hearing. She slowly started to close the door, seeing if he would go away like the rest of them. "Wait, no, you're not allowed in." |

Amara looked confused when Sebastian asked if there was suppose to be anyone else coming to the castle. "Not that I know of, why do you ask?" She watched him, curious as to why he would ask. *Only thing I could think of is more servants, but other men? No* she thought. Especially not now that it was planned for her to be with Sebastian. "Maybe it's someone to talk to my father about trades" she said with a small shrug. "But then again, I dont know. He doesnt exactly keep me in the loop if he doesnt think it concerns me." ~~~ Aro listened as he heard the door getting unlocked. When he saw Lorelei, he saw that she looked shocked he was there. Without saying anything he did push his way past her, getting into the darkness of the room. He had seen quite a few servants looking scared and shocked he was out of his room. "Does it matter why I'm here" he asked as he crossed his arms, looking at Lorelei. |

Seb furrowed his brows when he said there weren't any other people supposed to be coming unless they were traders. It certainly didn't look like a trader considering that the person seemed to be wearing clothes from fabrics that are meant for royals or dutches and dutchesses. He knew Amara would lie to him about something, but he can't help but feel like something is off about that. It's like she has another suitor that she doesn't know about that will try and meet Amara and steal her away. Who knows but he didn't really care at this moment. He was just curious if she knew. "Weird, but I believe you." He said, finally slowing down for her to keep up this time. He grabbed the basket from the servant as he wasn't going to have Amara be carrying it even though she is more than capable of doing so. "I'm sorry for the way I'm acting. I'm just worried about Lor. I know she can take care of herself and she is a strong woman, but today is one of the few days I worry about her and know she isn't the strong woman I know." He said, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment that he had her see that side of him. "Anyway, which way do you want to head?" ~~~~~~~~ Lor grumbled when he pushed his way into her room like he belonged in here. She wanted to tell him off, but she just didn't have the strength to do so. She glanced out in the hallway, seeing that some of the servants were looking at her wide-eyed that the prince is actually out of his room for the first time, and went to her room of all places. She didn't know what to think of this because from what she was told, he never left his room. She wonders what is different about this particular day that he came out and came to his room of all places. She shut the door once more, leaving them in the darkness of her room, and made sure it was locked. She leaned back against the door, looking at Aro with furrowed brows. "Of course, it matters." She said, her arms hugging herself. "You never leave your room. So of course, I'm surprised you are out of your room but came here of all places." She pushed against the door and walked towards the window. She slightly opened the window to look out, seeing Seb and Amara walking away from the castle. "I guess I'm just wondering what is so special about today as to why you came out and came to me." She closed the curtain once more and sat on the edge of her bed. She ran a hand through her messy hair, wincing at the knots that are in it. "Why did you come to see me?" |

Amara kept looking forward when he said that he believed her. "I have no reason to lie to you" she replied. "Why should I when we should be truthful with one another knowing we are suppose to marry some day" she added. She glanced over at him when he apologized to her and she gave a small smile. "You have no reason to be sorry. You have a right to be worried about Lorelei. I'm worried about her too, though I am sure you are more so worried." She reached for his free hand before she looked forward again. "There is a nice meadow just to the south side of the village. You can see the ocean from there" she said, wondering he he wanted to go there as well. ~~~ Aro stayed where he was for a moment, just staring at her before he shook his head. He grabbed a chair and sat down. "You should be grateful, after you didnt show up yesterday" he said in a rather cold tone. Before she could give any sort of reply, he spoke again. "Your brother seems to think that I am his last option to check on you." He saw her wince with the knots in her hair, causing him to get up and walk to the bathroom. He dug through a few things before he tossed something next to her on the bed. "There. Amara made sure to have that in each bathroom if anyone needed it. It gets rid of knots in the hair with no pain." His voice softened up slightly, but not his cold expression. |

Seb knew that there has to be trust between a relationship. He knows his parents don't as they argue all the time and things tend to always happen where there is mistrust between the two of them. As for him, he has never trusted his parents. The only people he trusts are Lorelei and now Amara since she is technically going to be part of his life now. He nodded his head though, agreeing with what she said about it. She is right as always. He knows that as long as the woman is happy, they will have a happy life. "I still apologize for my actions though. I didn't mean for you to have to deal with it on top of everything you are dealing with your brother. I truly am sorry about it all." He said as he gently grasped her hand, hoping that she isn't mad at him for his actions. That was his old self back there, something he never wants to revert back to. He just hopes that never happens and if it does, there would be a good reason it does. "Oh, that does sound wonderful. I do love the ocean. I just haven't been there much considering we live so far from it and my parents never really let me or Lor outside of the castle gates much." He explained, hating how controlling his parents are over him. "Let's stop by a flower cart first before we head to the meadow." ~~~~~~~~ Lor actually couldn't help herself from rolling her eyes at his comment. She should be grateful that he came to her after her not coming yesterday? That's ridiculous. It's not like she didn't want to, because believe her, she truly wanted to. It's just the fact of what today was going to be, she didn't have the ability to come out and interact with people without breaking down. She wanted to breakdown right now, but she didn't want to have Aro see her in such a state. She didn't want him to see how weak she truly is after seeming so strong in front of him lately and how she actually stands up to him. Then again, she just didn't care today. He can make fun of her, call her pathetic and weak and she will take it and agree because that is what she is. "I guess." She would usually have a snappy comment back to his, but she just didn't have it in her. She let a sigh leave her lips at hearing how Seb went to him as a last resort. Of course he brother would because he's worried. She hummed before looking up at him. "I see. Perhaps I should be grateful towards the both of you but I don't need someone to babysit me on this day. I don't need someone to think that I can't handle the day I got kidnapped, tortured, and so many other things." A small whimper left her lips but she shook her head. "They are right though. I need someone but I won't ever admit that. I don't agree to meet guys because they don't need to deal with me being pathetic on this day, how I'm a monster, how scars make you ugly and undesirable, how my strong personality drives them away, how I actually stand back and argue back against them, and how seeing how easy it is to take advantage of me." She shook her head. He shouldn't have to deal with this. He should go because she doesn't want him to see her like this. She heard him get up and only looked up when he dropped items to the side of her on the bed. She smiled weakly at the things he brought but pushed them away. "Thanks but no thanks. I don't have the energy to deal with anything related to me and others today." She was grateful that he got her these things but she just isn't in the right mindset to deal with this stuff today. "Thank you. I really do appreciate it." |
