(Should we have Astral duel with Erin and say if he wins he can leave and such (this would be to the death of course) and Erin will win and Elliot tries to step in but Alden stops him? Or should we have Erin just go at Elliot for his brother and Astral won't do anything hesring Elliot killed Ethan?

"Alice, did you know?" Erin stopped to ask. If she did know why didn't she tell him? He knew that they had a bad relationship but he'd always want to see him again. "I can't believe it. Did he send that man to get you? The one who killed Ethan?" That thought made him furious, if the answer was yes he's surely kill the both of them. Elliot for killing Ethan and Astral for sending Elliot, he didn't care whether or not Astral was his father, it's not like they were ever close anyways.
---
As Astral got outside he stopped in his tracks seeing Erin, he didn't know how he felt about the situation. His body felt cold and numb as they stood staring at each other. The silence in that moment was almost sickening, you could feel the tension grow with every second that they stood there. (Gonna shower brb)

Alice nodded her head slowly, almost as if she was scared, which she was at seeing Erin angry or flustered. It was the first time she was the reason for it. "I-I'm sorry, I should have told you..." a tear or two rolled down her cheek as she tried to look away from him out for the shame she felt. "I was just so happy to see you and I didn't even think about it..." Her voice trailed off again as she worked hard to keep tears from flowing out of her mix matched gaze. It was un-ladylike to cry in public
--
So this was the leaders eldest son? The stupid boy who was going to get himself killed for the sake of the girl? It sounded too much like a fairy tale. But whatever you want to call it, the girl will be taken back and sold, and the boy can either live in shame or die. There can be no other way. Elliot turned his brown eyes to Astral, "would you like me to do it?" It was a duel that he meant, Astral would surely understand that.

Erin took a long shaky breath before finally speaking, "Alice, this isn't going to end well, Either I'm going to die fighting these two or somehow we can escape. But that doesn't seem like much of an option now." He was nervous, saying this. He didn't know whether or not he could kill his father, but he surely didn't care for this man anymore. "I understand you not telling me, it would have been better for us both if we got out of here without me knowing." He held his blade up as he walked forward again. He didn't know who he'd be fighting first, but he knew nothing would be able to prepare him for this.
---
Astral shook his head at Elliot, "You'll do nothing. Hand me your sword." He stated to Elliot as he held out a hand "I've already managed to get one of my sons killed, I see no reason to keep this one alive if he insists on taking the girl"
(I'll have a better reply in a bit I gotta head to school)

{No problem} Alice didn't say anything else after Erin spoke, there was no need to really. But if he was going to die here, Alice wanted to be able to say her goodbyes, to give him a goodbye kiss. But it wouldn't be right for what was happening now. It was very different, then if he was merely leaving to his job in the morning. This was quite literally life and death. She took a few steps back, making sure to not get in the way.
--
"If you insist." Elliot shrugged, his eyes narrowed at the boy with hatred evident in them as well. He was causing nothing but trouble, and besides, Elliot had done him a favor. It was one less mouth to feed to Erin. Actually, it would be two. He pulled out his rapier, and handed it swiftly to Astral. It still surprised him to know that his leader was a father, of two boys. He never mentioned them much, besides their names or how old they should be anyway.

Erins heart sunk seeing his father being handed the sword, he didn't want to fight him but he was more than ready to. He'd do anything for Alice and this was definitely something he was doing for her. "Who would have thought this is how we'd meet again?" He called out in taunt to his father. He was managing to keep his cool but felt he could break out in tears at any moment.
---
Astral said nothing before making his approach, he didn't care what Erin had to say. All he knew was Erin needed to die for his plan to proceed. As soon as he was in striking range of Erin he swung swiftly
Luckily Erin was ready for the swing, he parried before lunging in at Astral but it was blocked quickly before another strike came at him, it caught Erin on the arm as he tried to step back in hopes of dodging it. He winced as the blade pierced his skin, it begun to bleed instantly, though it wasn't deep enough to make him lose use of that arm. He swung hard at Astral hoping to break his guard and have a moment to get revenge for the hit to his arm.
Astral smirked as he swiped the blade across Erins arm, he took pride in his sword fighting skills although he wasn't the greatest, clearly neither was Erin. As he tried to block the hit it was with much greater force than expected, it caused him to have to take a step back to regain balance but before he could do this Erin had already lunged in, stabbing Astral straight in the stomach.

Elliot had a large smirk on his face every time Erin had received a blow. Those would definitely leave a scar. One to remember Astral by if he escapes with his life. That was what he thought anyway, until Erin had finally made a move and struck his father, straight through his abdomen. Elliot stared wide eyed at the blade as it was visible through his back. That was a blow that could surely kill, and it certainly seemed that it would as Astral fell to his knees out of weakness. Elliot didn't hesitate any longer though, and quickly grabbed his rapier again, gripping it tight in his hand. "You fool!" He growled as he got into a defensive position, readying himself for a blow from Erin
{I was thinking that Erin gets pretty wounded in the leg or something so he can't stand very well during the fight, and Alden finished Elliot off by coming up behind him and slitting his throat
Ironic that elliot gets his throat cut this time then}

(Completely ironic. I love it xD yeah lets do that)
Erin said nothing but get himself ready for an attack from Elliot, he pulled the sword back through his now dead father and stood holding his sword towards Elliot before swinging at him multiple times (probably all blocked with ease) hoping to get any advantage he could since he'd already been hit multiple times by Astral. Even though he'd already been quite hurt he had hope, he just wanted to go and take Alice with him, that's all he'd want after everything that had happened that day.

the boy was weak now, especially after those cuts it must have made the sword feel heavier. Which of course, Elliot used to his advantage. He blocked each swing that Erin had tried to deal him, and wanted to laugh as each one was in vain. However, as soon as he saw and opening, he went for it. Elliot lunged forward and created a nasty gash on the boy's right leg. He assume it was his dominant one considering that was the one he had been leading with. Hopefully this will be enough to strike him dead soon. "You won't be leaving alive after pulling that stunt. Mark my words." He growled.

Erin fell back and let out a cry of pain before getting himself up quickly. He tried his best to keep himself proped up after the blow to his now bloody and very damaged leg, but it was a lot harder than he expected. . "Don't count on it" he muttered as he stood practically only on his left leg. He knew at this point he had no chance, every part of his body was hurting in some way and he didn't know how he'd ever beat Elliot, who'd sustained no prior injuries. But he went in again anyways, hoping for the best. He swung only once at Elliot as multiple tries would throw him off balance

it was a satisfying sound to Elliot when he heard the cry of pain that Erin gave. It may seem morbid to others, but that didn't matter when in this situation. He grinned maliciously and blocked the blow easily and pushed forward with his sword as they held metal against metal which lead Erin to fall back and land on the ground. He stood over him, blade in hand ready to strike. "Any last words?" He glared at Erin, but despite what his expression said, he was feeling quite satisfied inside
--
Alden had been wanting to stay other of the fight, it wasn't his to fight. Well, the first one anyway. Elliot stepping in automatically made it an unfair fight. And it only got worse once Elliot knocked him to the ground. Alden had to step in here, he busted his rear end trying to get the two of them safe, he wasn't giving up now. Alden snuck up from behind Elliot, and slipped out his knife. It was difficult trying to get to his height, considering her was taller than Alden by at least half a foot, so to reach him, he got on his toes and as quick as he could, drew the knife across Elliot's neck. "Go to hell you son of a b****." He growled at the dying Elliot, who was trying to breathe through the blood.

Erin fell silent as Elliot stood over him, he was trying to come to accept he'd lost, he didn't want to but there was nothing he could do about it. He closed his eyes and waited for the blade to end his life, but soon opened them as he heard Alden speak. He looked up at the now bloody mess that was once Elliot. "Thank you..." he managed to speak, he was weak and the amount of blood he had lost already wasn't going to help anything.

Alden glared down at the crumpled Elliot, who seemed to have passed this life a mere few moments ago. He personally didn't like killing anyone, but Elliot had killed more people than he can count, he was a wanted criminal in these lands. Perhaps Alden was putting him out of his misery. "He deserved it." Alden grunted before turning back to Erin and looking with surprise at the gash on his leg. It was worse up close. "We better get you back home, I can try and patch you up there. I have some medical experience." He informed him before moving to Erin's side. If they didn't get home in time, he might not make it. He looked up at The princess that Erin had been after in the first place and made sure he didn't look as angry as did when killing Elliot. "Be a dear and help me with Erin would you?" He asked before grabbing one of Erin's arms, and draping it around his shoulders. Although he didn't lift him up yet.
--
Alice hesitated for a moment before moving to Erin, she was absolutely horrified by the event that had occurred tonight, and was only pulled out of her thoughts once Alden spoke. She took his other arm and draped it around her shoulder like Alden before the both of them stood up in synchronization. "Erin, who is this?" She asked curiously, but quietly.

"Alice, meet Alden..." he spoke quietly, almost as if he were to pass out. But he struggled against it, trying to keep awake. "He was the only reason I could find you, and now he's saved my life. I owe him so much" he added as they picked him up, he put his best effort into lessening the weight on them and trying to stand on his left leg, which hadn't taken too much damage. Erin looked over to Alice and did his best to give a smile to her, he was happy that the night would soon be over and they could hopefully go back to how they were before. (Should we skip until they get back to the house?)

Every minute that it took for them to walk to the house, Alice feared that it would be the minute Erin collapses. He was pale, and his pants had dried blood as well as some still trickling out of the wound. The sleeve of his shirt was bloodied up as well, and was darkening the blood began to dry. It was a scary sight to behold, and it didn't help that slowly Erin got heavier to hold since he grew weaker. She would have liked to pick up the pace but it wasn't possible. However, there was at least no need to, since they were coming up to the house. Alden and Alice got Erin upstairs with a struggle, and put him in her room, since that was the closest one. Any farther, Alden feared he would go unconscious. Alice was trying to stay calm, which she was, and it was an eerie sort of calm. One that seemed like she knew what was coming, but refused to speak or act out, trying to accept it emotionally. Alden was busy trying to use his makeshift materials from what he had to wrap Erin up, while she sat beside Erin, trying to make sure he was concious. "I'm so sorry Erin." She said quietly, almost inaudibly before pressing her lips to his forehead.

The whole walk Erin felt he was slipping in and out of consciousness, he couldn't think straight and he began to not be able to hold himself up, as they got him onto the bed he laid quiet still focusing on trying not to pass out on them. He thought that he'd be more of a help if he could be awake and cooperate woth whatever they were doing instead of them working on a almost lifeless body. "I love you, Alice" saying that took most of his strength, anything he tried to do at this point was strenuous and took more effor than he had. His breathing became shallow but he wasn't going to let that make the difference yet. He refused to accept he could die on that bed, not after all the effor he put into finding Alice, he couldn't lose her again.

Alice looked at Erin with slightly glossy eyes out of the sadness she felt as seeing him on death's door. She placed a hand on his cheek as a comforting gesture, he shouldn't comfort her now. It was her turn to do so, she needed to have Erin focus on himself, not her. "I love you too." She said quietly, this sounded too much like a goodbye, and Alice hated goodbyes. They were always so negative in her opinion. She preferred 'see you later'. This wasn't goodbye, it couldn't be. Erin was the only real reason she hadn't run off yet, or attempted to again anyway.
--
Alden wasn't going to let one or the other die, not when they were back where they belonged. This is not Romeo and Juliet he thought to himself firmly as he worked diligently, trying to save as much blood as he could. But Erin had lost so much along the way, he wasn't sure if he would be able to pull through. "You're going to need a real doctor Erin. I'm doing all I can, but I don't have the right supplies. I'll have to leave to go get one. Your 'bandages' should hold while I go get him." He turned to his attention to Alice, "You stay here." Before waiting for a nod and heading back downstairs.

"Okay, thank you, Alden" Erin spoke as well as he could, he didn't know how long he had but he'd be happy to soend the rest of his time with Alice. "I'm gonna make it, I'm sure of it" he said to Alice and gave a weak smile. He really did believe he would, even though he knew what shape he was in. He moved a hand up to Alice's that was currently on his cheek and grabbed it lightly trying to keep her calm. It would be obvious to anyone that she was on the verge of losing it and he didn't like that. He'd confort her as long as he could, he didn't know if he'd pass out before the doctor got there, if Alden could manage to find one in time that is. He'd just have to keep his hopes up

Alice didn't say whether or not she thought Erin was going to make it, she didn't want to give false hope, but she didn't want to underestimate Erin, Alden, or this doctor who was coming. She closed her eyes briefly, trying to keep her expression steady, and voice as well. She bowed her head, and grabbed Erin's other hand in her own. She didn't know if he was very religious, but Alice was, and Erin she thought could use the prayer. "All our times are in Thy hand. All diseases come at Thy call, and go at Thy bidding. Thou redeemest our life from destruction, and crownest us with loving kindness and tender mercies. We bless Thee, that Thou hast heard prayer, and commanded deliverances for our friend and Thy servant, who has been under Thine afflicting hand..." Alice couldnt speak up anymore, and her prayer went quiet, though one could see her lips moving as she sent it silently, until the end, "May we ever remember that recovery is only a reprieve and that some day we will go to our rest in the Lord. May we therefore secure the righteous path and live with eternity ever in our view. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." She finished the prayer but did not pick up her head. She didn't want to look at Erin, but she wanted to be beside him. It was an odd feeling to want to close yourself off but be around someone at the same time.

Erin listened quietly as she went over the prayer , he hadn't been one to be religious as he never really thought about it. But it made him feel a little better knowing she was praying for him. He tried to hold onto her hand tightly but it wasn't much use, he was beyond weak now, but he didn't want to let go of her. "When I'm better we need to bring you back, I clearly can't keep you safe" he spoke as loud and clear as he could but his voice sounded almost muffled and barely audible. He didn't want to bring her back, he thought they'd kick him out and keep them seperate. But it was also the best thing for her, she'd be safest with her own.

It was at this Alice had picked her head up and looked at Erin in the eyes. She shook her head 'no' and it was clear in the way she did it, she meant a lot of things by it. She wanted to go home, she missed her family, but she didn't want to leave Erin. That was her worst fear: losing him. Alice didn't want him wasting his energy focusing on something like that, he should focus on his breathing, and keeping it steady. If he wanted to protect her, he needed to live. She could only hope that the Lord carried Erin on swift wings to healing, she would feel foresaken, lost, and utterly abandoned. Whether that was His intention or not, Alice didn't know. And she didn't want to. "Don't...just...don't..." she choked out, as her throat had felt clogged from keeping tears back, and that was all she could muster out before having to focus on keeping tears back again.

The thought brought a few tears to Erins eyes, they rolled down his cheeks slowly as he tried his best to breathe. He wanted her to understand but she clearly refused, he didn't know if he was happy that she didn't want to leave him. On one hand he'd get to be with her all the time, if he survives. But he knew her people would take much better care of her than he ever could. He knew that he shouldn't be worried about that right now, it was going to take all his strength to keep himself alive even until the doctor made it back with Alden. There was no telling how long he would take to find one, or if he even could. It was quite late at night so being able to get one now could be more complicated than it normally would be. "I... want you to be... safe" he mentioned quietly as he looked away from her, he didn't want to see how she would react, it could go really badly or really well. There was no in between at this time.

Alice had never lashed out at Erin, as she never had reason to. Not for a while at least. A pained expression crossed her features as she looked at him. Or tried to anyway. He was obviously avoiding eye contact, "we're not talking about this now." She said sternly, she wasn't going to take no for an answer. Alice didn't ever want to talk about that, but she didn't say so. She was pushing it as it is with her tone of voice.

"Sorry.." he mumbled quietly to her in response. She'd never really been angry towards him but he could hear it in her voice, but he was only speaking of it now because he knew there was a good chance he wouldn't make it through the rest of the night. He could feel himself losing strength as the time passed. His breaths were becoming shorter and more shallow and it didn't seem to matter how much effort he put into it anymore. He closed his eyes for a bit trying to focus on nothing but keeping himself alive for the time being.
