I'm leaving on Friday morning so I'm here til then, then I'll be gone for 3 days. But if you want to edit it go ahead. I like it though^^
This weekend I'm going on a trip and will only have my iPad so I won't be able to post until I get back late afternoon on Sunday. Wanted to give you a warning ahead of time.
Oh, a head's up for you. I'm visiting my friend at her school Friday morning-Sunday afternoon this weekend and I'll only have my iPad with me so I don't think I will be able to post til late Sunday. Just wanted to let you know~
Nora chanced a quick nod when the Doctor began moving and indicated for her to stay quiet. She could feel her heart pounding and she was finding it difficult to breath. Her gaze slid from the woman to the back of the two men's heads. They were talking to eachother, so far not noticing the fact that there were actually two conscious women in their backseat.
She looked back at the Doctor, moving her head ever so slightly. She saw the device from before in on of the other women's hands and a key in the other. Nora was watching with warped fascination as the Doctor put the two objects together and a noise filled the air. She glanced over towards the front seat in time to see their heads turning and Nora began to act natural. At least as naturally as one could act in this situation. She avoided looking at the two, and gazed down at her sister, stroking Evie's long blonde hair as a reassuring gesture. Evie's lips parted and she let out a soft moan, but beyond that and her breathing she showed no signs of life. Nora doubted she would wake up anytime soon, and even when she did she would be delirious.
"What do you want with us?" Nora heard herself ask, her voice surprisingly steady. She was talking to the kidnappers, obviously, but she was refusing to look either of them in the eye.

A smile spread across her lips as Sam listened to Dorothea talk about Liam. She had never thought much about love, finding the idea of true love to be rather ludicrous. But listening to this girl talk about this boy, listening to her giggle thinking about him...even a cynic like her couldn't deny the utter surety and honesty in Dorothea's voice when she told Sam that she loved Liam. Maybe in this world love was more than just a dream. "If that's how you truly feel about Liam then I'm sure he knows," Sam told her softly, offering her a reassuring smile. "And I'm guessing the feelings are completely mutual, too."
Dorothea's head leaned down and Sam glanced over to see a mischievous gleam in her eyes as she asked if Sam had a boy of her own back home. She smiled wryly in response. "Me?" Sam shook her head, laughing a little. "No. There's no one. I don't have a boyfriend." She was quiet for a moment, thinking about her past "love life," if that was the proper term. Her mother had told her once that she was a bit cavalier about her social life. "Not currently, at least. I mean I've had boyfriends and been on dates before, but they were never anything...special. Nothing like what you have with your prince. I don't think I've ever really been in love." She shrugged her shoulders. It wasn't that big of a deal for her. At least she didn't think it was. "Maybe someday, though."

Liam's caravan had been moving rather swiftly for most of the day, but the prince had slowed the pace when he and Will had noted that they did not want to tire the horses. Besides they had made good time already on their first day. Liam's agitation was slipping away with every mile that brought them closer to Verinia. And they had only paused once to refill the water skins that the queen had provided them before they had set off, and the prince now took a swig from his.
Unbeknownst to Liam the queen had slipped her blue potion into each of the skins. It was a potion to could the mind when faced with an enchanted object or human. When something or someone was enchanted into something else there was always a sign, some proof that the enchantment was there. That was why Dorothea was able to speak, even in the form of a cat. Narissa had known that she wanted the Marshal to bring the girl when he joined the caravan, so she had brewed the potion as a precaution. Even if the girl was able to slip away and try and seek help from her prince or any of this men then she would be unable to. The potion would turn her voice into simple purrs and meows when heard by the men of the company. To them she would just be a regular stray cat until the enchantment itself was broken. Or unless another person was able uncloud their minds and convince them of the enchantment's existence. That would be nearly impossible to achieve, though. The potion was very strong. However Narissa had no idea that Dorothea had made a friend.
Will's eye were sharp and he noticed two figures on the road a distance ahead of them. "Sir," he said, catching Liam's attention and pointing forward. "Two people on the road ahead."
Liam squinted as he tried to get a better look, but they were far away and he could not make out any distinguishable features. "Could just be two travelers, but bandits are common in the woods. Be on your guard everyone." It was several more minutes of riding before Liam was able to see the figures better. He looked at them hard, unable to recognize one at all, but there was something familiar about the way the one in front walked. It took a moment for him to realize who it was. "It's the Marshal!" he exclaimed, looking over at Will in wonder. "Marshal Derrick! What is he doing out here?"
The prince spurred his horse forward and he accelerated to a quick trot. "Marshal!" Liam called out, not too loudly though. He wasn't ignorant of the dangers these woods hid in their trees. "Marshal Derrick!" He pulled back on the reins and the horse slowed as he approached the Marshal and his companion, a girl with a cat perched on her shoulder. Liam didn't take the time to give the young woman a good look just yet and note her strange attire as he had eyes only for the Marshal. "Marshal, where have you been? We searched everywhere in the castle last night. Do you know what's happened to Dorothea yet?" Liam was smiling genuinely for the first time in what felt like ages. Finally they had found the Marshal. Perhaps they had some luck on their side after all.

I'd really love one more?
There was a terrible little feeling of helplessness that filled Nora until she thought she would just explode. She had watched him lift two women over his shoulders as if they weighed nothing and then start walking. She couldn't fight him, probably couldn't run far enough or fast enough. It was like she had an invisible leash around her neck, because moments after he had turned and started walking Nora felt her feet moving.
She followed, very reluctantly but with the knowledge that she had no choice. Her eyes were downcast and she forced herself to not look around and start screaming for help. How could he possibly be kidnapping three women from a busy hotel and not be seen by anyone? She chanced a glance up in time to see the hand that belonged to the Doctor moving. She blinked and almost made a surprised sort of sound. Then the tiniest feeling of relief came over her. She had thought she was alone, but she wasn't. The Doctor was still very much awake.
They left the hotel via the emergency exit and Nora was faced with a car that was clearly waiting for the man. She felt a surge of anger flow through her as he watched the way he just through her sister and the Doctor into the backseat and she met his gaze as he ordered her inside. She wanted to yell, try to leap at him and hit him, but she knew it would be fruitless. She could do more while still conscious. So closing her eyes to hide her glower and biting back an insult, Nora climbed into the backseat and was left in darkness when the door was slammed closed behind her. She sought out her unconscious sister's hand and held it. Half of her wished Evie was awake, but the other half was glad that Evie wasn't experiencing the fear and confusion just yet.

As Dorothea described her mother and father Sam felt herself smile. It was nice. Talking and getting to know one another. It was a lovely way to distract herself from all of the danger they were in and she felt a little at peace. The smile slipped a little when Dorothea told her how young her had been when her mother ad died and Sam looked over to her. "I'm so sorry," she told her softly. When she learned that Narissa's sister was the queen of Verinia Sam's face contorted in confusion. "So wait, Narissa's trying to start a war with her sister?" She let out a low whistle. "Must be a hell of a story behind that."
When they reached the road and Dorothea pointed out the way to Vernia she turned her head to look. It would probably take them ages to get there on foot. Sam had been looking forward to riding a horse the rest of the way, even though she didn't really know how to ride a horse. But August, sounding more like the Marshal at the moment, insisted that they just walk as he did not know the way to the farm. He started walking away, in the direction of the capitol, and Sam pursed her lips.
She didn't like this, how the plan had changed. She missed the dwarves. Despite of the trust she had extended to the Marshal she still felt wary of being alone with him. But she knew they didn't have a choice except to follow him. So she started walking and carried on the conversation she had been sharing with Dorothea. If for no other reason then to help keep the other girl's morale up. But Sam had also been genuinely enjoying the conversation, as well.
"Your mother sounded lovely," she told her in earnest. "And your dad sounds nice. I hope I get to meet him sometime. I think our fathers would get along." Sam smiled. "My dad has a bit of a sweet tooth, too. But my mom is a nurse so she's a bit obsessed with health. They used fight about it sometimes." Her tone had gotten a little sad. They had fought about it a lot. Back when every little stupid thing one of them would do would set the other off. "And when I lived with my mom I'd eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, but when I lived with my dad he'd give me sweets." She looked over at Dorothea, suddenly feeling like she had to explain. "My parents are divorced. It happened when I was eight. And I have stepparents, too. But they aren't evil, of course." She laughed a bit, feeling a little awkward and decided to change the subject to something lighter.
"So...tell me about this Liam guy." She smiled. Sam had never been into this kind of talk before but this time she felt genuinely interested. Plus she was looking for anything to help pass the time. "I've been hearing his name for the past two days, but I don't know anything about him. Are you two, like..." Sam hesitated a little, like she couldn't believe a cynical girl like her was going to say the next two words. "In love?"

Nora had her ear pressed to the door and she felt a surge of relief when she heard the Doctor's voice. She sounded different this time. More focused, a bit scary. Like she was channeling all of the unhinged, slightly kooky parts of herself into this threat. Nora felt herself shiver at the tone. But other than that the rest of the conversation the man and the Doctor shared didn't make much sense to her, especially when the man told the Doctor that he thought she was supposed to be male. He also didn't seem particularly intimidated by her and continued to say that he and his kind were going to take the planet. But why did they need Nora and her sister to do it? She just didn't understand.
There was a cracking sound and it made Nora jump a bit. "Doctor?" she asked, both hands pressed against the door. "Doctor, what happening?" She didn't hear her voice respond. Instead the voice of the man spoke. She closed her eyes, trying to fight back the fear that was welling up inside of her. Either go willingly or get dragged out by force. Nora didn't want to give up and just go back to the people, the aliens, that had who knows what planned for her and Evie. Something very not good. She could continue to hide but she knew she didn't have the strength to stop them from breaking in.
She stood and took a moment to gather all of her courage. It took everything she had to simply reach out, unlock the door, and swing it open. Nora gazed ahead of her, not looking at where the three people lay unconscious. She only had eyes for the man who was still standing. She stepped out of the bathroom, trying to keep the fear off of her face and clenching her fists so her hands wouldn't shake.

She stepped out of the bathroom, trying to keep the fear off of her face and clenching her fists so her hands wouldn't shake.
Nora winced as the man she had hit with the lamp fell unconscious right on top of her sister. She took a step forward, as though to attempt pulling him off of her, when the sound of footsteps filled her ears. The Doctor maybe? She looked up in time to see another unrecognizable man at the doorway. He stared down at the unconscious pair on the ground before looking up and seeing Nora. She went very still, looking back at him as her eyes widened. Then he threw propelled himself forward at her.
She let out a strangled cry as she dodged him. She nearly fell onto her face as she stumbled away from the attacking man, and her head swiveled around, looking for anyplace to go, anywhere to hide. The doorway was no good, the unconscious people made it a messy exit. She saw the open door of the bathroom and decided that it would have to do. Nora threw herself forward and nearly fell into the bathroom. She kicked the door shut after her and braced herself against it as she fumbled with the lock. She heard it click into place, but didn't stop pushing against it, in case he decided to try and kick it open.
Her eyes, which had been closed in concentration, snapped open as she realized she had left Evie alone out there with two men attempting to abduct them. Well, one was unconscious, but the other one might decide to leave him behind and just take her. She wanted to open the door, try to drag Evie to some sort of safety, but if she did she would no doubt get drugged and abducted again. It was too late to go back out and Nora clenched her teeth in frustration. "Come on, Doctor," she nearly growled. She had promised to protect them, where was she?
