"Yeah yeah." Royal said, stopping the clapping and lowering his voice]

The man let out a gasp but he held his ground as he pulled up with his arm and made it more difficult for Royal to breath. "STOP!" Lilly suddenly cried out. He hair flowed back behind her head as a cold wind came through the door of the shack. A frosty mist gave off her body as her eyes became more of an ice blue then they already were. "Let him go, NOW!" Lilly yelled at the Tokage assassin as she grabbed the chain off the floor. "Not...gunna happen...kid!" The clansman said as he tried to bring the gun closer to Royals skull still.
-
"LILLY DON'T DO IT!" Royal screamed, continuing his assault at the man's chest with his shoulder while keeping the gun away
-
However, he managed to get a good push against royal. The barrel was just barely at Royals temple before- "I said, STOP!!!" Lilly cried out as she swung the chain at the Tokage clansmen. The chain became ice as as flew past Royals head and wrapped around the man's throat. The man was launched back into the wall, and he then froze to it as his entire body was coated in ice which only left a frozen surprised expression of the man's face. Royal could finally breathe... That was when Lilly fell to her knees, sobbing.
-
"Lilly..." Royal crawled towards the Ashen haired girl, trying to catch his breath as he did so
-
"I...I...D-Diana she..." Lilly made out as she sobbed into her arms and brought her knees up to her face.
-
He wrapped his arms around her in a hug, cradling her head with his shoulder "It's okay. I got you."
-
"B-but why? Why w-would she...she wouldn't she...w-why?" She asked as she buried her face in his arms. Royal could feel the wet tears making their way through his cloak as she did so.
-
"I told you Lilly. You're the runt of the pack, and they don't care about the runt." Royal said solemnly, not giving a shit about the cloak
-
She continued to sob into Royals arms as she spoke. "She...she said that she was going to keep me here...because...because I was too close to alex...she said that I was a threat to the family...."
-
"Shh, you're safe now. It's okay." Royal whispered, keeping his arms around her
-
"Y-you were right royal." She admitted to him. "Y-you were so right and I-I didn't listen to you...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" She apologized to him as her voice was choked up.
-
"It's okay, Lilly. I forgive you. That's why I'm here" Royal's own voice was choking up, tears Welling in his eyes
-
The two stayed there for some amount of time. Eventually, Lilly brought her head up, and wiped the tears out of her eyes. "Royal..." she started. "What...what do I do now?" She asked him. "I...I think I can find Cain. Maybe I can convince him...maybe I can convince him like you convinced me."
-
"Do you truly think so, are you up for it? It may not be wise..." Royal looked at Lilly, hopeful yet also worriedly
-
"No...no I can do it. Cain is my brother...he's my friend. He was upset with what happened to Alex as well. And...he's all alone on the plains." Lilly stood up, a look of purpose on her face. "I...I can do it. Cain will see the truth, I know he will!"
-
"Then.... We have to hurry. He could be fighting right now!" Royal yelled, getting to his feet
-
"No...no if he sees you that won't go well. He's only been able to be really open with me." Lilly told Royal. It seemed more like a demand if anything. Something told Royal he wouldn't budge her on this one. "...I do need help getting out of this forest...though...."
-
"I'll take you the way I came. I got some of the brush, I'm sure I can' find my way through."
-
"Then...I'll follow you!" She said. Lilly smiled at Royal as the two left the cabin, and went out into the woods to be rid of the place for good. Lilly was safe. Royal made sure of that. And the Coldbourne's, well, as soon as their military found out Lilly abandoned them, that would definitely cause some havoc. And Tywin, to grow angry. [spoiler]The end![/spoiler]
