The couple awoke with a start. The horses that belonged to them stirred and neighed loudly. Edward instinctively shot up and clutched Rhian's shoulder firmly, as if someone was about to snatch her away. Rhian had a startled expression etched upon her face that matched Edward's exactly. The couple were young and vulnerable, and they knew that was a gun shot. The 18 and 16 year olds didn't really know how to approach the situation.
"Eddie..." Rhian whispered in a clearly panicked tone. Edward didn't reply. He picked up his jacket and slid it on. His shoes were put on with little effort and with a shaky hand, he picked up his knife. He put it in his pocket. Rhian went to stand up and get changed herself but Edward put a hand out to stop her.
"Rhian, stay here". The love of his life frowned. She was as pale as a ghost with nerves, but she wasn't about to let him go out and investigate on his own. He clutched her shoulder a little harder before leaving the tent. As soon as he left she began getting changed again. She had to go comfort the horses, and make sure Edward didn't get into trouble.
The young man ventured outside. His eyes trailed towards where the horses were tied. They were still ok, he could see them both in the moonlight. Nervously, he began to look around. There was nothing obviously different about Hyde Park, until he saw a figure. A female figure at that. He wasn't as panicky, but she might of been the one who fired the gun. An armed person was a threat to him, and he could only arm himself with a knife. He hoped to not make himself noticed.
