Beren spun around as he heard the scream. Elenar noticed as Beren dashed off to the sound, she was close on his heels. Beren saw Sophia standing shocked, Beren swore violently and grabbed Sophia's hand, "Forgive me for doing this but I have to." Beren pulled Sophia toward him, Elenar frowned and stood in his way.<br/><br/>"Not so fast MountCaastle I know what you are up to and you can't do it."<br/><br/>Beren growled a bit at her, "It isn't what you think! Oh damn it all!" With his free hand Beren grabbed Elenar to and head for a back exit.<br/><br/>"Hold on a sec." Beren puled a lighter out of his pocket and flicked it on, he threw it toward the fountain and almost smiled as something caught fire and smoke began to rise. Someone started shouting fire and soon the whole place was in uproar.<br/><br/>Grabbing the two ladies again Beren walked out a back exit, there was such a panic that no one noticed them. Beren whistled and soon his coach rounded the corner, his driver really was an efficient man.<br/><br/>"Get in both of you! NOW!"<br/><br/>Beren followed after the ladies and slammed the door shut, bot Sophia and Elenar opened their mouths.<br/><br/>"No questions right now! That was the third attempt on your life, time to take matters into my own hand. We are going to my place, I have plenty of room and I will explain things to your families tomorrow. Hopefully we won't incur too much scandal over this. Now please be silent I need to think."<br/><br/>Beren rubbed his head and closed his eyes, this was not good.<br/><br/>"I am sorry Sophia about all this...... I wish things weren't this way."<br/><br/>Elenar sat back frowning, what did Beren mean this had been the third attempt? He was in for a good talk from her tonight, nope he wouldn't get away that easy! After SOphia had gone to bed the two of them would talk.
