The Damaged Queen ((Group Thread, Join!))

[Steele]

In Blackgate prison, far from the gates of Avaleur, almost towards The Ruins of the old kingdom, Steele knelt on the cold stone basement flooring of the prison. He was chained by his neck, arms, and legs to the ground like an animal. It prevented him from laying down or sitting, all he could do was sit in the same kneeling position with a beam of bright sunlight shining. The room itself was dark, like solitary confinement but much more dark and dank. His dark hair had grown to the point where it could cover his face if he looked down and he had a small full beard growing in. He'd practically been given rags to wear as prison clothes.
Two guards stood watch outside of the reinforced door, it was standard protocol. Out in the hall way was small, the only thing outside the door was stone stairs that led up to the main level. Torches were the only brightness that lit the way.
Steele tugged on the chains again and cringed feeling the metal of the cuffs digging into his wrists. He sighed, how long would he be in here? How long had he been in here? The only way to tell was when there was no more sunlight. More than anything he thought about Namari. Was she okay? He tugged again on the chains.

Roe smiled. "Well, we can disguise it all pretty well. Ishin and I have it all planned out to be honest." He nodded, then all three elves were gone, teleported. They appeared in Steele's cell, Roe carrying Namari as she was still very weak. Ishin immediately cast a spell to stop any noise coming from either Steele or Namari escaping the cell. Next, he broke the locks on the manacles of Steele's prison while simultaneously creating an illusion of a chained Steele in his place. Without any warning, Roe grabbed Steele by his closest item... The hair. Ishin touched Roe again, then all four teleported to the place Namari had pictured. They landed, Roe taking the full weight of Namari on impact.

"Remember, both of you, two minutes tops then I have to return you. No questions asked." Ishin stated, then he grabbed Roe and teleported them out of earshot of both of them. Now, it was their time.


((OOC, for the magic thing are all characters made before the posting of those rules excluded for the time being from said rules?))

[Namari Lovelle]

(( I'll let Steele post here before I reply lol. As for that, no it does include the characters made before the list, it's included in the clean up I'm doing right now that you can read in the announcements. So finish by Thursday editing your characters accordingly and I won't touch them til then! : D Most if not all characters don't have to do a LOT of editing, just some, you know? Most of them I wont even have to mention as long as people go through their character sheets ))

[Steele]

Saying Steele was startled was a huge understatement, everything happened so fast he barely had any time to come into grips with what was going on.
One moment he was on the prison floor, the next his hair was being pulled and he wounded up on some beach with......Namari.
He squinted at the bright light of the sun after being in the dark for so long.
This couldn't be real. He must have fallen asleep or something. Everything was too good to be true. On the warm beach, the love of his life standing before him, freedom..
Then he saw the saw the hospital clothing Namari was in and all her scars, most of them he caused. It was then that he knew that this wasn't a dream.
"Namari?" Was all he could say, his face completely bewildered. "Me' love?" He took a step and cringed. Even with his accelerated healing, his muscles still ached from when he blacked out nights ago. He fought through it, nothing would keep him form her, nothing ever again!
He trudged through the soreness and finally reached her. He hugged her tightly, it was as if all his stress just faded away when he was with her. Then he kissed her.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari's eyes went wide, but in no time at all she had wrapped her arm around Steele's neck and kissed him back, tears stinging her closed eyes.
Standing right in front of her, kissing her, was the love of her life.
It was slightly overwhelming, they hadn't been together truly in a long time. And it hurt Namari. But being with him now, knowing he still loved her, it was the best feeling in the world.
She pulled back, not able to hold in the tears as she rested her forehead on his.
"I'm so sorry Steele...I don't know what to do," her fist was in a clench as she pulled him tighter, trying her best to keep her voice steady. Not succeeding.

[Steele]

Namari's tears only made Steele even more happy to see her face again. It'd been almost three months since they last saw each other, btween the break-up, the riot, and jail.
"Listen ti' me." He says gently grabbing her head and making her look him in the eyes.
"None of tis' is yer' fault...din't think fir' a second that any of it is." he kissed her again holding tears of his own back. He was going to rot in that prison, Namari can't get him out of this one anytime soon. As far as anyone could tell, Steele was a monster to everyone.
"Ah'm sorry hinny, ah' couldn't stop me'self.." He says referring to the attack. "Ye' kno' ah'd neva' hurt ye, eva'." He hugs her.

[Namari Lovelle]

She hugs him back, burying her head in his neck.
"Oh, of course I know that Steele! I'm not mad, or upset, I'm just happy you're back," she kissed his shoulder, burying her head in his neck again.
The Queen half-couldn't believe she was in his arms again. It made her so incredibly happy, more happy than anything.
It just made her realize how much she couldn't stand being apart. Her relationship with Peter ultimately met it's demise.
It wouldn't happen here, if Namari could help it.
"I'll do everything I can to help you Steele, I have to. I don't know what I'd do without you! I need you with me!"

[Steele]

Steele smiled softly. "Yer' too good fir'me ye' kno' that?" He joked and sighed.
"Ah' kno' ye'll help me, hinny. Jus' promise ye' let me rot in that prison." He says a bit of fear in his voice. He didn't want to unload everything that was wrong to her, he wanted her to be happy.
"Ah luv' ye' so much hinny, nd' when ah get oot' ah'll make everythin up ti' ye', ah'promise..."

[Namari Lovelle]

"You needn't make anything up to me Steele. And I'll not let you rot. I've missed you so much. And I love you," she pulled back slightly, kissing him, before looking into his eyes.
"And don't you forget it," she smiled softly, longingly.
She wondered how she would get him out. People would hate her, that's certain. And she didn't want that.
But she loved Steele. Was there no middle ground?

[Steele]

(Okay i just read what i posted, I meant don't let me rot in that prison lol)

"Ah' win't." He smiles. "Do what ye' hev' ti' do, me' Queen.Aye' that has a ring ti' it din't ye' think?" He says.

[Namari Lovelle]

"Maybe...I don't mind the title. It's the job that counts to me," she chuckled, her hand running through the back of his hair. "I just...can't believe what I had to do in that arena. I didn't hurt you at all, did I? I can't remember. It's a bit of a blur for me, I don't know the details."

[Steele]

Steele was silent when Namari asked him that question, He couldn't remember a thing from that night. Only changing back.
"Ah'...." He started "What'd ye' hev' ti' do in thee' arena?" He asked trying to change the subject.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari's face turned to sadness, then to sorrow. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"...they were going to kill so many people if I didn't complete the tasks they made me do. I had to...kill three of my guards...murder a boy who was about to change to a werewolf...then they made me try and kill you. But I couldn't do it, Steele."
Figuring he did not remember, she continued her story.
"So I was able to get you to kill the woman who would kill the people if I didn't complete the task. She was also controlling you I think. I'm not sure. And then the ELITE tried to capture you but you were still violent. So, I approached you. And, well, you did end up calming down," she chuckled.
She had gotten hurt, that was true. But he had calmed down, which was her objective.

[Steele]

Steele just stared, shocked at what he'd heard.
Namari had to go through all of that...and then..
"Ah'm sorry....." He was really at a loss for words. How could he do all of those things and not remember aany of it? Everyone would have died before Steele would've ever chosen to fight Namari. But to have to fight people of your own kingdom, and kill them.
"What were they trying to do?" Steele asks. He clenched his fist angrily, mad at himself, mad at the ones who did this.

[Namari Lovelle]

"That's the thing...I don't know. I really don't. They wanted to break me then, I know that, maybe kill me, but I don't know why. I don't know the big picture."
She shook her head, and lightly placed her hand over one of Steele's fists, smiling, trying to ease him.
"And you have nothing to apologize for...you didn't do any of it because you wanted to," Namari lightly kissed him on the cheek.

[Steele]

Namari's hand eased Steele's mind. He sighed, he'd almost forgotten taht he was still a prisoner.
"Namari..." He starts. "If somethin' happens ti' me in prison...if ah' lose me'self again..din't hesitate. Kill me."He says this with a serious look on his face..
"Ah can't live with me'self if ah' kno' ah'm thee one who killed ye'..jus'.." He looks away. It was a very difficult thing to ask someone to do. Especially someone you love.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari furrowed her eyebrows. "But, Steele...I understand what you mean, but...I...I could never kill you. Try and protect others around you if you turned back, yes, but...I could never kill you. And you know I would rather die than see you dead."
She lightly placed her hand on his face and moved it to face her, placing a gentle kiss on his lips.
"You mean so much to me, Steele, and I know you don't want to see me dead...think of it from my view as well. I don't think I could handle losing you again. Losing someone I love again," Namari wiped some strands of hair from his face, and wrapped her arm around his shoulders again.

[Steele]

Steele chuckled not wanting to let Namari go.
"Ah' guess neither one of us wants to see thee' otha' one dead huh?"
"Ye' mean moor' than thee' world ti' me hinny. Ah wouldn't change that fir' anythin'. Ah love ye." He kissed her as well.
"Ah'm sorry fir' me...ah wish ah' wasn't...tis'." He says referring to him being a werewolf.
"If ah' wasn't..things would be so much betta'."

[Namari Lovelle]

"I'm glad you're a werewolf, Steele...if not for you I would probably feel indifferent towards them. But because of you I care about them, and have friends there. Sure, things might have been easier for us if you weren't a werewolf. But I wouldn't have you any other way. I love you."
"It is the people that attacked up that should be apologizing, not you. You didn't do this, okay? You didn't," she rested her forehead on his once more, staring at him with the loving eyes she always looked at him with.

[Steele]

His eyes stared back at hers.
"Thank ye' Namari." He closed them and smiled, finding a sense of peace.
"So what happens from here?" He asked. "What's gonna' be thee' queens big order?"
