I may be the child of a devil, but who said that was a bad thing?

A knock on the door disturbed me from my studies. How can someone laugh so high-pitched? The knock resounded again. Sighing, I called for them to enter. My servant bowed before me. "The Shriek, my lord, had been captured."
What? Daine? So soon after she rid me of my enemies? "Wonderful!" I exclaimed with false joy. "Thank-you for telling me. You may have the rest of the day off as I will just be reading." I smiled.
"Yes my lord." He bowed and left, closing the door behind him.
I sat down and let dread sweep over me. "Daine, they have her-" Daine wasn't one easy woman to catch, but I loved her anyway. We had been great friends for ages. I could just see her: 'What are you doing Jaron? Are to too scared of defying you parents to help me?'
But one thing burned bright about her: she would do anything, break any law, fight in any war, kill anyone to defend her few friends. Would I do the same? "Yes."

A caped figure stood outside of the prison, waiting for the doors to open. He stepped across the threshold, and silently walked to the cells of the most violent. One head at the back of the room snapped to him immediately. Bright blue eyes burned into his pale lavender.
"I don't need your help." She hissed.
Chained to the wall, with dried blood and raw wrists, Daine was still as defiant as they get.
"I think other wise and picked the lock to her cell. I set her arms and legs free. She calmly walked out and relocked the door. Taking a running leap, she grabbed the bars of her cell and began climbing. I swiftly followed. I would break any law, fight in any war, kill anyone to defend my Daine. Even if she didn't want me help.
"Jaron, are you coming with me on my journey or-"
"Well, you need protecting don't you?" That earned me a solid punch in the arm.
"That means you're not a prince anymore. I see you prepared." She looked at my cloak.
"As did you." She was wearing her assassin's outfit, with the cape a 'mysterious' strange had sent her.
"You forgeting something?" I handed her the mask that she had worn for so long.
Daine just smiled and put it on, keeping those bright blue eyes hidden from the world.
"Truly a Shriek."
We left my kingdom's capitol that night, not knowing if we would ever return.
