Trouble
Angelica had noticed when James and Lafayette had left. She also had noticed when they rejoined the group, lafayette looking much more happier and excited. Robert had noticed too, but they wernt saying a word, only glaring at the two men in anger.
"Just over here. I don't have the key, so we'll have to swindle the guards into letting us in.. Rob, did you bring anything to give to the guards?" Rob pats down their pants, shaking their head. "Damnit damnit.." Angelica watches as Sybil stops, pacing. "They wont let us in unless we have medicine or have a clear order from the king.."
"We could just say we are from Fredrick then." Lafayette says. Angelica nearly does a double take. Even Lafayettes voice sounded much nicer and bouncier. What did James and Laf do when they snuck off..?? "I mean, they won't exactly know if we're lying?"
"Or we can impersonate a worker." Theodosia says, and Sybil shakes her head.
"Wouldn't work. Fredrick made sure this part of the wing is self sufficent, so when he got prisoners, he didn't have to take care of them..."
"Then we say we are from Fredrick. They won't ask questions if we sound confident enough. Trust me." Lafayette clears his throat before walking over to the guards, a frown on his face. "Keng fredrik sent us hairé to chek on la prisonairs." Angelica snorts. Lafayette sounds almost exactly like an old century french guy.
"Didn't you here?" One of the guards snort, leaning against the door. "King Fredrick moved the prisoners a couple of minutes ago. They were headed to his throne room." Sybil frowns, pushing her way to the front.
"Why? What does he want with them?" The gruard frowns, and Lafayette snaps his fingers.
"Answair mon friénd haire! What eez 'é doéng wiv zem zat 'e didn't téll us abut??" The guard blinks.
"Oh, uh, He said something about humiliating them infront of his court or something. If you want to catch them you'd have to run to grab them." Angelica opens her mouth to say something, but then closes her mouth when her phone starts to vibrate. It was John calling her, and she felt her heart swell with relief. She walks off a little, seeing Lafayette start to argue with the guards.
"Hello?"
"Angelica! Love! Baby! Sweet-"
"Dont love to me, John Barker Church. Where the fuck have you been?! Ive been worried litterally fucking sick!"
"I'm sorry Love, I've just been so busy. I've found Caroline and Amelia, so we'll be there in a little bit. Have you found them?"
"No. They've been moved again. Guard says their headed to fredrick, which can't be good." Angelica hears someone curse in german before John huffs. "John..?"
"You gotta stall whatever Fredricks going to do to them. Caroline says branding but I think he's just going to-well, I don't really know but-"
"How long do you think we have?"
"If its branding, then you have thirty minutes before it begins." Angelica curses, glancing at the others.
"We'll be there in ten, promise."
"Just get to them. Branding is something you can NEVER get off of you." Angelica hangs up, grabbing Lafayette.
"Change of plans, looks like King Fredrick want's us back!" Angelica glares at Lafayette as he tries to argue, yanking him back. "He said he has a SPECIAL suprise for us, and that we have to get to the throne room IMMEDIETLY." Theodosia finally catches her drift, nodding.
"Ah, right right! We should get going guys." Angelica nods. She just hopes they could get back in time before Alexander and the others got too badly hurt. Angelica had made a promise the day they had broughten Peggy home, and taken in Alexander, and made friends with Lafayette and Aaron, and (Begrudgingly) dated Thomas. Her family, her friends, her people. They were NOT going to get hurt. Thats the one promise she hoped she could still keep.

"Hurry the fuck up!" George stumbles, frowning at the guard who shoved him. He was holding Peggy in his arms, the girl hot to the touch. She still wasnt doing so well, and George worried about her.
"Where the hell are we going?" Thomas growls, holding onto Alex and Aaron. William was sitting on Sam again, the dog growling whenever the guard tried to get close to shove Thomas.
"To King Fredrick. He has a BIG suprise for you guys." The guards chuckle and laugh, pushing them into a smaller room.
"Oh! Your here, good." Fredrick smiles as they forcebly are sat down, George still clinging to Peggy, who held onto him like a child to their mother. "I was wondering when you'd get here."
"What do you want, Fredrick?" Alex growls, and Fredrick frowns,
"It's King Fredrick to you, you absolute heathen!" Fredrick takes a deep breath, calming himself down before grinning again. "Sinc e you all are technically my property now, and since you will never leave these castle walls again, I've decided to brand you."
"Like FUCK you arnt!" Thomas yells, standing up.
"Thats absolute BULLSHIT!" Alex growls.
"Dad, I think that's too much, you've made your point." William says, walking over to his father. He hadn't actually talked to his dad since the incident, but now he was standing bravely infront of Thomas and the others, Sam growling beside him. "You've made your point, okay? You dont need to brand them."
"Branding is something you do to cattle, and horses. We arn't either." George says calmly, a frown on his face, Peggy sniffles, curling more into Georges chest.
"And your still my prisoners. I can do whatever the fuck I want with you." Fredrick stands up, grabbing William. "And you." William yelps, and Alex and Thomas are forced back down by the guards.
Sam was growling more louder, his ears flattened and his tail tucked between his legs. He kept looking between William, Alex, and Thomas, like he couldnt decide on who to help. "Get out of my way or I will brand you too." Fredrick shoves William down, grabbing his crown.
"Take their shirts off and get them into the throne room. I'll be waiting."
