@queen_of_alvastia. Aww, thank you! 😀 Yeah, this will be VERY interesting to see how it plays out. 😉 Alrighty, I’ll start us up! 😁 (and we all put a bit of ourselves (including our struggles) into our characters, don’t we? 😂 Riker is most definitely me, all the way, lol.)
Leon
What…was this place?
Where…where was he? It didn’t look like his house. Or Louisa’s.
Or any shops he went to in town. Or anywhere that looked familiar at all.
It looked like a castle.
But not one of those big, pink, beautiful ones found in Isabel’s favorite storybooks.
This one was dark and damp.
Moonlight filtered in, so Leon knew it was night.
He slowly sat up.
Now his clothes were slightly damp.
But he’d faced worse before.
He ran a hand through his black hair.
And stopped.
Where was Aadelheide?
Where was Isabel?
Albert?
Elias?
Where was his family?
He heard a loud sound, perhaps a crash, and stopped. He wasn’t alone.
Leon slowly inched towards the direction that the sound had come from.
If only he had a weapon…
(Okay…here goes…kind of nervous about this….but….)
Payton froze, lying on the floor, glaring at the chair he’d knocked over in his haste. He cocked his head. No one.
Payton, calm down. It’s just you. No one else. If No one will find me here….no. They won’t. They can’t.
Ever since he’d arrived, his nerves had been on edge. Alone in the dark in this creepy old castle….well, it was no Alvastian palace to be sure. Payton picked himself up, forcing himself to breathe calmly. In and out. Fear under control. Good.
Well, no point in hanging around waiting for someone or thing to find him. Gripping his dagger hilt until his knuckles went as white as the the wandering beams of moonlight overhead, Payton determined that if he was here, he might as well find his way around. In the dark? Well, at least not completely. He placed his hand on the doorknob in front of him and pulled it open.

@queen_of_alvastia. I didn’t see Ethan before, lol, whoops, my bad. 😅😂 He sounds interesting too! You can have as many or as little characters as you want! I have…4 now, lol. Eva, Ezra, Riker, and Leon. Leon’s the only one that’ll meet yours so far. The others are with everyone else. 😉 But…maybe I’ll add a few extra characters that need some development. Who knows. 😝😜
That’s fine! I’m not 100% sure if I’ll put him in yet because it’s so hard to write about him without spoilers! XD I might throw him straight in though later! Poor guy he doesn’t have a clue…. 🤣

@queen_of_alvastia. (You did perfectly. 👌 Love him already, lol. 😂😍)
Leon
The creak of a door. The turning of a knob.
Leon pushed himself against the wall. Curse himself for not having a weapon. Not that he would be allowed to. What object or possession of any kind were Jews allowed to own in the first place anymore?
Leon shook his head. Don’t think about that Leon. Don’t get distracted. Don’t get distracted.
Footsteps sounded, as quiet as one could be with an uncarpeted floor. Which wasn’t very quiet, come to think of it.
Leon came off the wall just a fraction of an inch. Caught a bit of a head full of blonde hair.
Leon pushed himself back against the wall. Silently prayed that whoever it was wouldn’t find him.
But the footsteps became louder.
And louder.
And closer.
And closer.
Oh God, they’re coming this way.

@godlyfantasy12. I’m on now, but I went right before you did. Trying to give the others a chance. 😉
Do I need to wait before responding?

@queen_of_alvastia. Just the two of us, so no. Continue whenever you’re ready. 😉
Payton’s heart stopped pounding in his chest for the very good reason that it had leapt into his throat as he stared at the man in front of him. Payton pointed his dagger straight at this stranger.
“D-don’t come another step closer.” That the man hadn’t taken a single step towards him as of yet made no matter. “I – I’m armed and I know how to use iit.” Why couldn’t he keep his voice from trembling? “Who are you anyway?” Payton couldn’t make out much, but what he did told him this man was taller and older than he was. And in this place, how could than mean anything good for a young Alvastian caught alone….scratch that, with a total stranger in the dead of night in this castle. At least he had his dagger. The man hadn’t drawn a weapon yet. Maybe he didn’t have one. Payton squared his shoulders and stepped forward.
“If you try to attack me, I would warn you it’s a grave mistake. My father is a soldier and I will be too.”

Leon
“If you try to attack me, I would warn you it’s a grave mistake. My father is a soldier and I will be too.”
The person in front of him, who Leon could barely make out in the darkness, was holding a dagger to him. He did, make out however, due to the moonlight, a head of blonde hair, like he had guessed, and emerald green eyes.
The person was also shorter and, by the way his voice trembled, Leon guessed he was younger than twenty-five.
“I don’t have any weapons, so that seems like that’d be a stupid thing for me to do…I’m Leon Wagner. I have no idea what this place is or how I got here. Simply, I want to go home. Who are you?”
He stepped slightly out of the shadows, revealing his face. But not too close, cause that young man was holding a dagger pretty close to him.
Payton
“You mean, you’re not armed then?” Payton lowered his dagger, running a finger down the blade. He stepped back to give the man space away from the edge of a knife blade. His forehead wrinkled in confusion.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to threaten you like that. I mean, well, I guess I just assumed everyone else was armed, you know? Or I guess, you don’t know. And I’m Payton, by the way.” He eyed Leon’s clothes, then raised his eyes to meet a pair of dark brown eyes. Like Quinn’s. His little brother, sometimes annoying pest and sometimes his partner in adventure. He gulped. If he was here, where was Quinn?
“Oh no. No no no.” He whirled and started pacing. If Leon wasn’t armed, it didn’t matter if Payton turned his back on him. “Think Payton. Calm down and think.”
He turned on Leon, forcing the panic from his eyes. Be strong. Don’t give way now.
“Is it just you here? I mean, you haven’t seen a young boy, 7 years old? Red hair, brown eyes?”

Leon
The young man, Paxton, was pacing now. “Is it just you here? I mean, you haven’t seen a young boy, 7 years old? Red hair, brown eyes?”
“No. Sorry, you’re the first person I’ve seen…”
He seemed really worried. “Are you looking for someone?”
“No. Sorry, you’re the first person I’ve seen…Are you looking for someone?”
Payton felt the strength drain from his body, taking his confidence with it. He leaned against the wall. The man seemed genuinely concerned but that didn’t boost his own mood.
“My little brother, Quinn. I don’t even know how I got here. I thought he was with me, but if I haven’t seen him and if you haven’t seen him…” He glanced down at the dagger that lay cupped in his palms, glinting in the moonlight. “I guess it’s just you and me, then. We should probably try to find our way out of here. Somehow. By the way, you never know what could be lurking in the shadows in a place and night like this. Here,” He held out his knife. “I have another.”

Leon
“Here,” Paxton held out a knife, “I have another.”
Leon carefully took the offered knife. “Thank you. And I’m sorry…I don’t know where my family is either…any of them. Not my wife, not my kids…”
And he missed them terribly.
He glanced back at Paxton. “You’re right. We need to find a way out of this place. And maybe we can find a way home.”
