Thread: The Elementalist (Lady Nefrodiel)

The younger girl couldn't help but sneer at this threat. If he shot her, they would avenge her. It wouldn't be smart of him strategically if he killed off the bait, now would it? The only reason the fighting had temporarily stopped because all members on their side were concerned for her safety. Her family may have been corrupt, but she did not doubt their power nor Tori's promise of painful death to the pirate captain. She'd still be dead though. Only the most powerful of healers could cure a gunshot to the head and of course none of them were on this ship, right here at this moment. If he was going to kill her though, she'd rather go out with a bang. What the hell was her problem? How could she coldly think about her own death? Especially when dying young had nothing to do with any of her plans. Hell, dying as leverage for her family didn't sit well with her at all. However, Alena wasn't able to reply... or scheme to herself when an unexpected hard punch made contact with her head. The girl was out like a light and was soon passed onto another crew member. Elliot did not approve at all of Victoria's decision, but he could see the merit in it. A silly thing like pride wasn't worth risking Alena's life. They would easily fetch the necklace after Victoria gave it to the imputent man. But his green eyes widened in horror as the good for nothing leech realized the flaw in his plan and changed his mind. Good for nothing bastard! Apparently he had a decent head on his shoulders... and had a reputation from leeching off of other magic users! But as soon as the man had knocked out his youngest daughter, a bullet came racing towards him and making contact in a non fatal spot. It still hurt like hell as he sunk onto the deck of the ship into a world of pain. Using the last of his strength he formed a barrier as strong as diamonds as his vision began to darken. The last thing he saw was his worst fear- his heir and most talented Boswell walking away in pursuit of the pirates. He then fell into unconciousness. It was horrifying watching Victoria's plan come to pieces before her very eyes. Her father shot, Alena taken away, the ship bombarded... their situation had gotten from bad to worse fast. And the only way to stop it was if she gave herself up- along with the Inzilom- to the pirates. The decision was obvious though she had no other choice but comply to their demands. So, she began following the pirates to complete their rather unfair deal. In horror, her brother called out to his sister, You would give everything for her ... that disgrace of a Boswell, Victoria!? The golden red-head smiled sadly at her brother, Of course, Jonathan. It's what mother would have wanted. Tell father I'm sorry... and have him healed as soon as possible. And with that, she jumped on the grapple hook and swung over to the enemy's side. Victoria was a vision of green and gold as she elegantly jumped ships like if she had been doing this all her life. Plopping on her two feet on the otherside, she glanced around her surroundings as if she owned the place. In reality, she was terrified. The cold analytical part, the politician in her, told her she had made the wrong decision- the stupid decision. But it would do no good to give into her fear. I'm here as requested, she announced loudly to the band of pirates, Now let her go and leave my ship alone and I won't cause anymore trouble. Nonetheless she was on her guard with the minions- there was no telling what they would do to her.
