I thought it was ok and alright! Thanks for the heads up :3

Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

With the thief asleep, Penelope found her job to somewhat less stressful. She would glance over to make sure he was still sleeping but she seemed less tense. It was when her gaze happened to be looking away when he woke up. The sound of his voice made her become slightly more aware again. She turned to look over at Crow. She raised an eyebrow at his proposition and gave a small smirk. "Fine. I'm not all that interested in 'filling in the blanks' but it's quite boring just sitting here in silence so I'll play your game." she agreed giving a small nod.

Now she pondered through her memories for any story worth telling. She had many different experiences but not all of them were quite that thrilling. Finally she seemed to settle on something and began to speak. "Well... It was my first true job as a knight, besides all the guard duty. As you know women are rarely ever knights. I was forced to work with these three buffoons, all newly trained like me. It was a test more or less from our higher ups. We had to figure out a way to spy on and expose this corrupt noble whom was rumored to be against the king. The leader of the mission was this man named Jonathan. He had been my rival in training when we first started out but I had long since surpassed him in skill... His father was our commanding officer though so he got special treatment." She gave an annoyed look as she spoke of Jonathan, still not fond of her former comrade.

"Anyways, the fool attempted to formulate a plan of some sorts... One which involved me in a dress and winning over this noble just to get the information. Idiots didn't think I was good for anything else. So I challenged him to a fight, loser wore the dress. He accepted and he also lost fairly quickly," A gleam of pride and amusement sparkled in her eyes. "I think he made for a better woman than me in the end. We put a wig on him and a dress fit for a princess." Penelope snickered slightly as she spoke.

"His plan was completely unsounded so I made a few adaptations to it. While he was busy trying to woo some noble, I had the other two knights keep on watch while I disguised myself as a servant girl and snuck into his office. I got the evidence we needed and left witout being seen. Jonathan had to suffer a bit longer before I finally decided to get him out of there." Penelope let out a small sigh and stretched her back for a moment. "I got in trouble for that little stunt though. Jonathan's father wasn't pleased and even imprisoned me for a few days... Before others found out and realized how uncalled for it was. I was transferred to the sector I'm in now after that."

"Ok... I'll see you tomorrow then." Eden agreed softly. Once the ambulance had came, she was already heading out. She bit her lip nervously as she looked out at the forest, pausing before she ducked into her car. Plenty filled her mind as she returned home. So much so she could barely focus on much else. Despite her previous remarks of procrastination, she ended up spending a good amount of her free time unpacking as she did not feel quite up for sleeping just yet. She didn't manage to finish and there was still a good amount to unpack by the time she decided to go to bed, most of it being clothing.

When morning hit, Eden woke up earlier than usual, having had a very restless sleep anyways. She quickly got dressed and rushed to get into contact with Marlon. She questioned if Donovan would have returned home but was informed otherwise by Marlon. Without protest, she agreed to meet him at the forest's edge where they would then head out in search of him. For a while, Eden tried to dig into her memory to figure out the path that would take them to the tree and creek she had spoken of. Four years away had made her memory hazy and vague though causing for plenty of uncertainty.

Eden let out a soft sigh as she arrived at the forest's edge. She quickly spotted Marlon and hopped out of her car walking up to him. She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her jacket and looked up at him. "I'm ready.. Shall we go?" she asked glancing out at the forest.

Eden gave a small nod in acknowledgement of Marlon's words. "That makes sense... He was normal when I met up with him earlier today.. Like nothing had changed." she mumbled, her voice sounding distant. With those words she was quickly reminded of how Donovan was really like. It seemed that this dark side of his had failed in destroying the previous image that she held of him as she reenforced it in her thoughts now. She thought back to how he had spoke of their friends and being upset with their sudden distancing. A small pang of guilt hit her as she realized how close she had come to agree with them. If it wasn't for Marlon appearing, she just might have fallen down that path as well.

Eden quickly straighted up a bit as Marlon's voice interrupted her thoughts. At his question, she recalled a tree that he had taken her to about once or twice. She barely ever went out therewith him but there had been a couple occasions. "I might.. But it's been a while and I'm not sure if I remember how to get there... It's this big tree near a creek. I didn't go very often with him but it's all I've got." She informed him seeming a bit unsure.

"I'll go with you." She added in there quickly. A determined gleam flashed across her eyes now as she was beginning to recover from what had taken place. "But, uh, if he's like this only during the nighttime... It might be best to wait until sunrise?" Eden said, clearly still holding both caution and fear towards this 'new' Donovan.

Penelope held his gaze for a moment. She seemd rather unsure. He had proven himself helpful. She wondered if it would really be such a bad idea to let him keep the weapon. Attempting to use it on her and her comrades would be simply foolish considering their training and he was better armed against enemies, should they encounter more later on in their travel. A small, reluctant sigh escaped her lips. "Fine." She said sourly, like she was swallowing some putrid medicine. "You can keep and I won't say anything for now. Just don't be an idiot when it comes to using it."

She was daring to put a little more trust in him, despite how reluctant she was. Little by little her alertness around him was beginning to decrease. Penelope tried to remind herself that he was still the enemy here and that her guard should always remain on high alert around him. But one could tell that it wasn't quite helping. As she moved back to her original position, she began to look outside the wagon. Unlike before, she would glance over less frequently now and instead became more aware of their surroundings than anything. With the two attacks it was reasonable to pay more attention to what was possibly lurking nearby.

Penelope, unfortunately for Crow, had taken notice of his actions. The reason for her silence was due to already predicting the argument he would make against it, which was reasonable enough for her to let it slide. Until he attempted to get more out of the situation. She shot an annoyed look at him. "Well then, I suppose you've already choosen your breakfast." she replied crossing her arms. She decided to go without her own portion for now since she truly wasn't quite that hungry yet.

"And while we're on the topic of things you've stolen," Penelope added, her eyes seemed to spark up slightly as she recalled the dagger from the night before. Sure it had proven helpful to her at the time but with such information she couldn't just let him keep it now that they were out of harms way. Her gaze briefly glanced towards William and she lowered her voice. For now,she would aid the thief by making sure the hot tempered knight didn't over here. "That dagger from the night before, time to hand it over."

She moved towards him now and held out her hand with a stern look on her face. "I'll thank you for the help at the time th-" she paused slightly as she began to address him by the word 'thief' again. She let out a small sigh before correcting herself, "Crow, but there's no way I'm letting you carry around a weapon any longer."

Yeah it is.

I thought it was good. I thought I was kinda rushing with Eden's reaction to everything to be honest. xD

Eden felt even smaller as he took a step towards her. Her heart began to beat fast out of fear and adrenaline pumped through her veins. In a situation such as this, it might have been wiser to choose flight instead of fight but anyone who knew Eden well knew that she usually didn't run from conflict. Even when she as at a very clear disadvantage. She took notice of him getting ready to strike and prepared to try and dodge, since that seemed to be her last option, until a loud bang rang out. It made her cringe and when she looked at Donovan again, she noticed the red staining his t-shirt. A brief look of shock and concern passed over her. Despite all that he had said and done, his image as her close friend had not been completely destroyed. In that moment it was clear to see that she still cared for him.

Eden then looked over to the man who had shot him, his own father. She relaxed a bit realizing Donovan was not seriously wounded as he hurried past and out the door. She could help but look relieved now as she was out of danger as well thank to Marlon. Still shaken by all that occured, Eden seemed to be physically trembling now, as if all the fear she had been attempting to hide suddenly came out now that Donovan was gone. Her tough act unfolded as she no longer felt the need to try and control her emotions. The reality of what her friend had become was not only shocking but horrifying.

"I'm fine... Aya was the one who got the worst of it..." Eden informed Marlon giving a small nod towards the unconcious girl behind her. "Thank you... I'm sure that wasn't an easy thing to do.... I just don't understand what's happened to him.." she breathed shaking her head. The thought of how normal he had acted when she first saw him made her feel a pang of sorrow. "Was it the accident..?" she wondered out loud. The thought of some split personality didn't really cross her mind until now. Likey because she had been so caught of guard with his behavior. Still, she questoned how such a thing could just suddenly effect someone, if that was the case.
