A pained expression crosed her face. "I can't. What if I have no choice and I have ot go alone? Then I would have lied to you, and broken my promise." She tried to shallow her breathing so that her ribs hurt less. "I promise that unless there is a life and death situation that I won't run off to try and save you."
She slowly and painfully stood up. She heard shouting and loud clattering coming closer, she looked out the door and saw Emerald standing in the doorway. "And here's my horse."
He saw footprints that clearly showed a struggle where someone had been dragged. He followed the footprints.
Sasha:
She looked at the cup of white willow bark tea but didn't drink it, she didn't trust these two, why should she? They might have been trying to poison her. "I have to go. Where is my horse? Your guards yanked me off her and I haven't seen her since."
"You're at the palace, I'm the queen, and I have no idea where your boyfriend is," she said, she had assumed 'Leo' was her boyfriend by how she talked about him.
Leo,
He spotted the foot prints, "thanks girl," he said mounting Titus.

Sasha:
SHe nodded
Leo,
He mounted Titus, "to someone I knows place, I'm sure he won't mind,"
Sasha:
She let Leo help her to her feet. She mounted up again and held onto Emerald's mane. "W-where to?"
Leo,
He stood up offering his hand to Sasha.
Sasha:
"Ok."
Leo,
"Alright, but, let's get somewhere " he said.
Sasha:
"Stay here and rest," she said
Leo,
He nodded slightly, "Alright, but do you want to fly back? Or stay here a few days to rest?"
Sasha:
She shook her head. "I wouldn't tell them why I did it. I wanted to keep you safe. One of the guards told her."
Leo,
"Probably because she understood why you did it. "
Sasha:
"She cleared my name of my crimes."
Leo,
"Well, I do know that Queen Rose, is a very generous Queen,"
Sasha:
"The queen wanted me to stay in the castle, I said I had to go and that's how I ended up here."
Leo,
"You could fly back," he said looking over at Titus, then back at Sasha, "It's a lot smoother, if not, I think I know a place we could stay,"
Sasha:
"I don't think I'll make it back to the 5th clan."
Leo,
He smiled softly, "now, let's go home, so you can rest those ribs.
Sasha:
"Good for you."
Leo
"Yup!" He said with a small smile.
Sasha:
"You bought Titus?"
Leo,
"I love you too," he whispered softly.
Sasha:
"I love you." She whipered
Leo,
"And I promise that same thing," he whispered softly.
Sasha:
A pained expression crosed her face. "I can't. What if I have no choice and I have ot go alone? Then I would have lied to you, and broken my promise." She tried to shallow her breathing so that her ribs hurt less. "I promise that unless there is a life and death situation that I won't run off to try and save you."
Leo,
"Promise me, please," he whispered, his eyes pleading.
Sasha:
"Ok." (I gtg for the night, bye!)
Leo,
Hs looked up at her, tears threatening to fall,
"Please, let us do this together, no more of us running off to protect each other.
Sasha:
"I can't lose you either Leo." She whispered, tears rolling down her face
Leo,
"S-sasha, I-I can't l-lose you," his whisper barely audible.
Sasha:
"Yes." She whispered. "Yes, I will risk my own life to get you safe!"
Leo,
Hd gently wiped her tears with his hand, "and r-risk your o-own l-life?!' He barely whispered.
Sasha:
She shook her head. "No. I need to get you safe!" She tried to stand again and silent tears rolled down her face, pain causing the world to spin
Leo,
"No matter what you say, I'll always find you, and care about you, and worry about you,'
Sasha:
"What?" She asked
Leo
He raised an eyebrow,
Sasha:
"T-to bad."
Leo,
"Well I do,"
Sasha:
"Don't care." She said, her ribs screaming in agonizing pain
Leo,
"You're going to set back your recovery for your ribs," he said softly.
Sasha:
"Dang it." She said. "I should have warned her about that."
Leo,
"About a minute cause she started talking to Kokomo.
Sasha:
"Would you stop worrying." She asked. "How long before you realized Tuli wasn't me?"
Leo,
He smirked slightly, "well, I've never been so worried.
Sasha:
She shook her head. "I have never wanted to see you more and never been madder that I got to."
Leo,
"I wouldn't know you're safe, and ai know they'll use you against me,"
Sasha:
"It would be less likely."
Leo,
"Danger could still possibly follow me,"
Sasha:
"I needed to keep you safe. This way the danger would follow me, not you. And it didn't work because you followed me!"
,
Leo
"Got worried about you," he said, "I know you can handle yourself a lot, but your injured.
Sasha:
"Why are you here?" She asked through gritted teeth
Leo,
He knelt down by Sasha.
Sasha:
She tried to stand up but her ribs screamed in protest and she bit her lip.
Leo,
He whistled slightly, "danggg, is that any way to greet your boyfriend," he teased.
Sasha:
She saw Leo. "Bloody rain!" She cursed through gritted teeth
Leo,
He had Titus land near Sasha.
Ava:
She was very sad.
Sasha:
She halted Emerald, half falling half sliding off the horse's back. She groaned as pain raced through her ribs
Queen Rose,
She sighed softly, explaining to Ava what happened.
Leo,
He spotted Emerald and Sasha, as Titus flew.
Ava:
"Why? Didn't she want to be friends?"
Sasha:
She started sliding off Emerald's back, she slid to the other side to balance herself
Rose
"Sasha left," she said gently looking over at her.
Leo,
He nudged Titus to the air.
Ava:
"What happened?" She asked
Sasha:
She groaned as Emerald broke into a trot. It felt like her body was breaking in two.
Emerald:
She felt bad for Sasha but they had to hurry if they wanted to get away before Leo found them
Leo,
He nodded slightly, then mounted Titus again, having him go around the palace.
Haymitch,
"Be safe out there Kiddo!" He called out.
Leo,
He chucked softly, as he kept having Titus walk.
Sasha:
She nodded and headed toward the back exit.
Guard:
"Sasha is a prisoner here." He said to Leo
Rose,
"Be careful."
Leo,
He saw haymitch and walked up to him, "I-Is Sasha here?"
Haymitch,
"Longtime no see Leo, and yes she was brought
Titus:
He halted at the front entrance to the palace
Sasha:
"Thank you." She mounted up and nudged Emerald into a walk.
Rose,
"She's gorgeous," she said looking at Emerald,
Leo,
He slowed Titus as they neared the palace.
Sasha:
She slowly and painfully stood up. She heard shouting and loud clattering coming closer, she looked out the door and saw Emerald standing in the doorway. "And here's my horse."
Leo,
He nudged Titus to go faster.
Leo,
He watched the foot prints
Emerald:
She broke her reins and galloped past Leo and Titus
Sasha:
"Bloody rain." She cursed again, trying to sit up.
Queen Rose,
"I have no idea, sorry,"
Titus:
He saw footprints that clearly showed a struggle where someone had been dragged. He followed the footprints.
Sasha:
She looked at the cup of white willow bark tea but didn't drink it, she didn't trust these two, why should she? They might have been trying to poison her. "I have to go. Where is my horse? Your guards yanked me off her and I haven't seen her since."
Leo,
"Time to follow the footprints," he said nudging Titus to a walk.
Rose,
"You fainted from pain," she said, "there's some white willow bark right there," she said nodding at the bedside table.
Titus:
He looked at Emerald and nodded respectfully.
Sasha:
"Bloody rain." She cursed.
Ava:
SHe flinched.
Queen Rose,
"You're at the palace, I'm the queen, and I have no idea where your boyfriend is," she said, she had assumed 'Leo' was her boyfriend by how she talked about him.
Leo,
He spotted the foot prints, "thanks girl," he said mounting Titus.
Emerald:
She kept trying to run toward the castle. She noticed heavy foot prints and pawed at the ground near them.
Sasha:
She grabbed her dagger, panic clear on her face. "Where am I? Who are you? And where is Leo?" She said, a calm coldness in her voice
Leo,
He winced slightly, "calm down girl," he said softly.
Emerald:
She whinnied so loudly she knew it had to hurt Leo's ears, she was panicking and she knew it
Leo,
"Easy girl,"
Ava:
"Will she be ok, Mama?"
Sasha:
She started to regain conciousness, voices made her jerk awake, she reached for her dagger, not remembering where she was
Rose
"Tjank you Ava, Sasha'll have to wait till she wakes up to have it.
Emerald:
She tried to free her reins from the hitching post, still whinnying shrilly.
Ava:
SHe hurried into the room. "Here Mama." She handed Rose the white willow tea
Rose,
She gently picked up Sasha and laid her down the bed.
Sasha:
"I have to keep him safe. You don't understand!" she fainted, collapsing and hitting the ground hard
Rose,
"From what you've told me, Danger will still come to Leo, no matter what."
Leo,
He ran a hand through his hair, trying to decide to go to the palace or not,
Titus:
He ignored Emerald
Emerald:
"SASHA!" She whinnied.
Sasha:
"I don't need to go far. I just need to take the danger with me and away from Leo."
Rose,
"I doubt you'll make it far,"
Leo,
He looked towards the 4th clan.
Emerald:
She whinnied louder, calling for Sasha.
Sasha:
"Don't care. I have to get.... somewhere, anywhere, I have to keep Leo safe." She said through gritted teeth
Rose
"Your injured though, you won't make it far.
Leo,
"What is it. girl?"
Emerald:
She saw Leo and shied away from him. Whinnying loudly.
Sasha:
"I have to go." She managed to stand up, her whole body was shaking from pain but she kept standing.
Queen Rose,
"It's alright Sasha," she said.
Leo,
"Emerald,' he said, dismounting Titus, and walked over tocher.
Sasha:
"I really am so sorry." She sobbed
Sasha:
"I can't!" She sobbed out.
Emerald:
She was tied at a hitching post near the outskirts of the clan from when the guards had taken Sasha, she whinnied loudly
Rose,
"I can't help you, or Leo at all, if you don't tell me why.
Leo,
He had Titus land on the outskirts of the clan.
Sasha:
She didn't know what to do. "I have to keep him safe. I don't care what happens to me."
Queen Rose,
"Please."
Leo,
He laid back again, watching the sky pass overhead.
