Re Rescueing Montague A 7th Sea Romance darkangel76 doo Alexandria almost instantly felt the blood drain from her face, leaving it a ghostly shade of pale, the moment her brothers voice reverberated off the walls of the buildings surrounding them. The deathly quiet ambiance of the alleyway shed been conversing in with Valroix suddenly disrupted. Her pale eyes darted over to take in the sight of Marcus as he stepped out from the shadows and then over to the swordsman, her voice suddenly lost to her. Just then, Marcus henchmen emerged from behind him, striking guarded stances all about him, ready to fight any who dare advance. Alexandria saw her brother give the smallest of nods and, in the blink of an eye, his henchman pounced on Valroix. But the swordsman somehow seemed ready for them, as if he knew theyd make the first attack. It was like watching someone whod been trained all their years in the art of dance as Alexandria watched Valroix fight, a fluid grace lacing each and every move. Elegantly beautiful. Her breath caught in her throat as she stared, watching him best each man one by one, angering Marcus to a point where his face turned an ugly shade of purple. But her brother remained composed nonetheless, a sick and twisted smile gracing his lips. Valroix, Marcus hissed through clenched teeth. Alexandria could see the frustration and anger as he seethed making her heart almost stop. I will be rid of you this day. Just then, Alexandria noticed Marcus reaching for something. Eyes wide, she heard a loud pop resonate throughout the air making her jump. Valroix stepped in front of her, his body turning to face her own. Speechless, she looked into his eyes, her mind reeling over the events unfolding before her eyes. Swallowing, Alexandria let her eyes drift past Valroix for the briefest of moments. Across the way, her brother had fired a pistol, its barrel aimed at her. Somehow the bullet had missed Immediately, she moved her eyes to the swordsman once more. He was bleeding. Hed taken the bullet for her. Trying to find her voice, Alexandria watches Valroix turn to face Marcus, whod already drawn his own weapon. The two fought, her swordsman clearly having the upper hand, despite his injuries and disadvantages. It wasnt long before he slashed open her brothers throat, leaving him to crumple onto the dirty ground where he belonged. Valroix turned to Alexandria, dropping down onto one knee. Without hesitation, she hurried over to him. It was evident that he needed assistance. Recalling the line of shops on the main road, she offered him her hand and led him closer to the main road. Wait here, Ill be but a moment, Alexandria whispered into Valroixs ear. As fast as she could run, Alexandria went to the nearest shop to purchase the items needed to tend to Valroixs wounds. Shed been trained in the basics when it came to medicine and was certain that shed be able to treat him properly so long as she was able to get the things she needed. She managed to find clean bandages, threads and ointments at the shop. Without a second thought, she bought the lot. She then purchased a canteen and went to the outside well pump and filled it to the brim. Im back, Im here, Alexandria whispered to Valroix, helping him to sit down to rest for a moment. Do you think you can make it back to the inn? I can better tend to you there.
