Oswalds Hideout

OOC She looks about 19-20

I continue to rock slowly to the boxes tune

Ray: No matter how painful the crucio, I refuse to give him the satisfaction of even a small grunt.

Sam: "Thank you... But let Crest go now. You promised!"

Topher: Woah... check her out.

Nope! Stop right there Top. You're a wed guy now.

"Hey..."

Oswald: "I did yes, and I shall if you do one more thing for me..."

I close the tiny intricate silver box with a sigh and look up, surprised that someone is there I sweep my turqoise bangs over my eyes.
"Hello" I say shyly

"What would that be?"

Topher: "Hey sorry to bother ya, ya look pretty lost in thought there..."

Oswald: "Leave Crest forever... and come me with me."

My eyes tear up at even thinking about that action, "No... You promised after Raven and that was it!"

OOC Ray: Ooo... This just got interesting.

I g2g. Night!

Night!

I smile shyly
"Oh, sorry." I put the music box back around my neck and sigh
"I am actually lost, I just recently escaped."

Oswald: "Please Sam, I insist... you deserve more than a Strayer..."

Topher:"Well that makes two of us but yeah, I like travellin'."

"What did you escape from?"

I sigh, clutching the music box tightly
"My brother... he imprisoned me..."

"But Oswald, I love him! I'm engaged to him!" I look desperate and sad all over again, and then I start to think about his words. "Why do you love me, Oswald?"

Topher: "That's pretty assholeish... why would he do that?"

Oswald: "You... give me a chance at normalcy. Every since the prospect of completing my revenge on Raven seemed possible, I asked myself what I wanted to do after that. And I decided."

"I want a normal life. But I can't do that until she's dead. But I'd be all alone. Again."

"But with you, I can have a normal life..."

"Oswald...". I look at him with a great amount of sympathy. "Oswald... My heart belongs to Crest."

"In his mind, he was protecting me. But isolation would've made me cold. And that's the last thing I want!" I release my grip on the box "He thinks I don't know how to be a good Empress... I do. But what I don't know and don't want to know how to be is a tyrant!" Tiny tears bubble

Topher: "Well I'll be damned... another royal." I look at her surprise.

Oswald: "But it doesn't have to...:

"But it does. Nothing can change that."

I nod in confirmation
"Yes I'm the Heiress of the oceans but...why does it surprise you?"

Topher: "Well see, I'm sorta-kinda a Marquess (It's a royal title below Duke). I hadn't really met any others..."

Oswald: "Nothing?" I step closer to her.

"Nothing..."

I smile a bit
"We'll it's nice of you to try and understand but...your not a few steps away from being a ruler. Not to be rude but there is a difference."

Topher: "yeah probably, besides, I don't know jack about ruling anything..."

Oswald: "Not even this..." (Take the plunge?)

I shrug, some of my sand white hair falling over my shoulders.
"I'm lost right now...I wanted to explore the world beyond the ocean but I realized I'm afraid too. I'm away from everything I love, cut off from the sea..." my voice drifts

Sure!

Topher: "Want me to help ya back? I've got a pretty good sense of direction..."

Oswald: I grab Sam and bring her in for a kiss.

Crest: Unable to take the sight, I spring from where I was hiding.
