This is my entry for Weekly Wattpad Contests #40

Number 38-Tarin Towers and Hershell Odinus have split up. One of them has infiltrated the Dark night's ranks and is subtly trying to help the other sneak through the Tower. It's really complicated, and there are a few close calls, but they kinda sorta get there without ruining the entire plan.

Wildcard- Hershell is in love with Ndawapeka.

Hershell's POV

" Get me past the guards! Fast... THE MISSION IS RELYING ON YOU!"

I whisper-screamed at,and Tarin. He flipped around, putting a finger to his lips.

" Guide me! I thought since your name is Towers, you would-"
"Who are you?"

I freeze and turn to face a soldier. He could take me down fast. I had to think of something. Now.

"Oh... you mean to say... you don't... know...who this is?"

I grabbed Tarin and pushed him forward. The soldier grabbed him by his robe and was about to say something, when...
'
"What's going on here? Don't hurt the royal mage, Jason!"

The soldier dropped him in awe as a female soldier walked up to him. He stared at her, his cheeks reddening. Yup, he was in love, and the distraction was enough for us to sneak away.

I felt my own cheeks turning red at the thought of Ndawapeka. She was kind, sweet, beautiful, and had an awe-inspiring voice. I was still blushing like a tomato as we sneaked along. I saw something move in front of me and I grabbed it.

"Let GO, Hershell! It's me, Tarin!"
"Oh. Sorry...."
" Let's keep moving. "

We make it to a grand doorway and open it slowly. The dining room lay before us. We close the door and continue, lost.

"Towers, where are we?"
"I don't know... haven't been in this part of the castle yet."

Shoot. We're lost. I frantically run down the hall, looking at different rooms. I see the huge doorway ahead, and I gulp, I slowly turn the knob and open the door. Oh, yeah. This is definitely the place.

"Oh, someone is coming! Quick, hide!"

He shoves me aside and speaks to someone. I hide behind a decorative vase. Seems like he's pretty well known. After the man leaves we walk to the door. My feet ache from walking more and more. We open the door. We made it.
