Of Feathers And Flames- A Wings of Fire AU RP

King glanced at her, then back out into the sky. Dragons had started to fly all around and shadows flitted over them every now and then. Suddenly a chill ran down his spine, his crest rose slightly and he felt as if he was being watched. He shook it off, not being able to help literally shaking himself to get the feeling away.
“Speaking of….” Phoenix began slowly.

“Yes?”
“Corvus. I hope he’s okay,” Phoenix said, glancing around. She clicked her claws together, an anxious habit.
 
Whitestar watched expressionlessly as the two humans fought, wanting with every moment that passed to flick Austin again in the back of the head with his tail. The argument finally bubbled down, resulting in Alyssia grudgingly seeming to agree to something, fixing her gaze on the ground.
Whitestar hated it.
The Icewing turned a cold glare on the hunter, faint whips of icy mist curling from his snout.
"You'd better be dragging us in the right direction this time," he snarled, not taking his eyes off Austin.

Austin didn't even look at the icewing, just walked right passed him. His usual cocky grin was nowhere to be seen. Complete seriousness and concentration made up his expression and he continued down the hall glancing back only once to make sure people were following him. He was getting lost in his own thoughts and was relying purely on instinct to get them out of the Maze. He took a left, then a right, then another right, and another left.

Alyssia followed closely behind Austin, her eyes moving from where they were going, to the dragons behind them, to Austin, and then repeated the process all over again. She would always spend a little longer on Austin, trying to read him and figure out what exactly was going on in that brain of his. Do I even want to know what goes on in that sick mind? She would question everything he did. She wasn't going to fall for any of his tricks this time.

Austin noticed Alyssia's eyes continuously falling on him, but he tried to ignore them. He knew that she was trying to figure out whether he was tricking them or not. Surprisingly this time, he wasn't. It was in both of their interests to get out of the Maze. None of them wanted to be captured and killed...or worse.
Finally, they made it to the entrance to the Maze and daylight hit them. Climbing the staircase to get out, he saw soldiers lined up in their ranks and preparing to enter the Maze.
"Hey! Who are you?!" One of the leaders came up to them and pointed a gun in their direction, thus signaling to his troops to also point their guns. Austin threw his hands up in the surrender position and hoped that Alyssia and the dragons caught what he was doing.
"Please, I'm Sir Jack Sutherland and this is my fiancé and my dragons." He looked around for the soldier that they'd encountered earlier. "We were down there and I talked to one of your men. See Jasmine here went down there looking for something and then the rest of us ran in after her but then the rebellion broke out and we didn't know what to do." He hoped his story checked out with them. If not, they were in big trouble.

Alyssia could see the doubt on the commander's face and so she stepped forward, choking on fake tears. "Please sir please! I didn't mean to. I didn't know that there was going to be a big rebellion thing! Just please let us go."
Austin tried to hide a smile at the way she acted. She must've taken some theatre classes or something. Alyssia turned and looked at Austin with a smile and looked back at the commander. "If it wasn't for him! I would probably be dead by now!" Finally, she managed to get a fake tear to fall.

Alyssia almost threw up with the way she was talking. She hated it, but she had to. All those theatre classes are paying off. She thought, slightly surprised at the way she was able to act the part. Austin walked over to her and she had to use all the strength in her very being not to pull away. He put his arm around her and pulled her in close to him. "It's ok, sweetheart. It's not your fault."

Austin began stroking her hair in a loving way and looked at the commander. He could feel Alyssia squirming slightly from the uncomfortableness of the situation, but he had to sell this. He knew she was probably going to yell at him afterwards for this, but if they were going to play the part, she was going to have to deal with this. "Now look what you've done. You've gone and made her cry. Your boss will hear from me."
The commander's doubtful face filled with fear for a split second but then changed to a more annoyed look. "Fine fine!" he said waving them away. "Just get out of here and let us do our jobs."

"Thank you, sir," Austin replied walking away with his arm still around Alyssia and waving the dragons to follow.
They made their way into streets and Alyssia immediately pulled away from Austin as soon as they were out of earshot and slapped him hard on the arm. "Never touch me like that again!" And, she marched a few paces farther ahead of everyone to be alone.
