chapter 4
I turn to see a man with a drink in his hand leaning against a wooden beam looking down at me. I ignore him hoping that he will leave me alone when he slams his hand on the table. "Bang!" the sound seems to echo around the whole pub as the man gets close and exhales into my face. The foul smell of alcohol swarms into my nose and begins to make my eyes water.
"I don't think you heard me I said hello" the man says with a gruff scratchy voice while his face is close to me looking angry.
"Uhh..hello.." I reply quietly trying not to breath in anymore of this drunk man's breath.
"My your a fine looking one" the man says grabbing my jaw and pulling it to his face abruptly. "Big breast a thin waist and the only thing left to look at is the thing your sitting on" he says while I start to get scared and begin to breath heavy. I try to fight him off by hitting him with my hands to be stopped by his strength. "Well well it looks like you have some fire in you I like you a lot" he says as he pulls my face closer to his.
Quickly slipping my hand from his grasp I slap him across the face and he releases me. Everyone then turns to look at us as the man is facing away from me covering his left cheek. Realizing my chance I begin to slide my chair away when the man puts his hands on the back pulling me forward.
"You just made a mistake but I think I can overlook it" he says as he reaches his hand down towards my chest.
I then let out a shrill scream as the man gets closer to me. The man grabs me and pulls me up to stand up. "Let go of me!" I scream frantically trying to get away from his grasp.
"You know I think that I am going to take you somewhere safe" the man says while putting his face to my ear and covering my mouth.
I hear a commotion behind me with loud footsteps and a door swinging open. I try to slide away again but the man holds onto me tighter and turns around so that me and him are facing the noise. I look forward to see Arian running up to me and the man while a wave of relief washes over me.
"Let go of her!" Arian quickly yells as he is right in front of the man. The man looks shorter compared to Arian but he still doesn't do what Arian says.
"Look young man I found her here alone so you obviously didn't care enough to sit with her and she looked lonely so I thought she may enjoy my company" the man says exposing his nasty smile. Arian looks down at me in the mans grasp with sad eyes then gets an angry look in his eyes as he looks back at the man. Without another word Arian quickly reels back and punches the man in the jaw knocking him into the table and onto the ground. I go down with the man but I am quickly able to get away from him.
I crawl towards Arian and begin to get up. I stand next to Arian and look up into his eyes.
"Thank you" I reply feeling my eyes water a bit.
"Are you okay?" Arian says pushing my hair back out of my face and looking if I have any marks. Feeling my face get warm I try to play it off and make sure he doesn't see my face get red.
"I'm fine trust me" I say while sliding his hands off of my face. I here him exhale a sigh of relief as he turns towards Flynn. Flynn looks at the man on the floor and looks at Arian.
"What happened?" Flynn ask as he steps towards Arian and me.
"This drunk was messing with her" Arian says his deep voice almost turning into a growl.
I mute the two men as they talk and look into the shirt to see the kit moving around and sniffing at the air. I put my finger in letting the kit smell it. The kit takes a sniff at my finger and licks it then curls back up to go to sleep.
"Glad you're alright" I whisper to the kit as I go over to Flynn. "Here Flynn you can hold her now" I say as I hand him the kit. Flynn grabs the shirt and quickly looks inside.
Once Flynn has poked at the kit and a little squeak of protest comes from it a flash of relief washes across his face.
"So what happened to make him go this far?" Arian ask while looking at me.
"Well he came up and started talking to me, that went on for a little bit until I slapped him" I finish while messing with my fingers.
"You slapped a drunk man!" Flynn quickly says loud enough for everyone in the pub to hear.
"Well...yeah...hey he was messing with me" I say defending my decisions to what I did to the man.
"You sure that your okay though?" Arian ask again while looking at me with worry in his eyes.
"Yes yes I'm..."
I am then cut off to see Arian on the ground and to see the man standing up with his fist out.
"What are you doing!" I yell I as I jump on the man to pull him down.
Without a chance to try and bring him down the man throws me against the wooden beam a little away from him. I hit the beam the with an incredibly amount of force sending pain through my whole back.
"Why you dirty old drunk!" Arian quickly yells while getting up and throwing another punch at the man. While Arian throws a punch to the man, the man tries to dodge and instead of getting hit in the face he gets hit on the shoulder. I try to get back up to feel more pain shoot through my back and I have no choice but to lay there and watch the two.
Flynn runs over to me and hands me the kit then runs up to Arian and the man. The room is filled with running and yells as everyone inside tries getting out. To my surprise after everyone leaves there is one man who stays. The man is well built and looks dangerous with a wild dead look in his eyes. The man quickly comes over and as Arian is pushed back the man reels back and punches Arian in the stomach.
Arian staggers back and lands on his knees covering his stomach. Without warning Flynn quickly punches the man in the jaw and kicks him to the ground.
"Try to choose who you fight with!" Flynn yells and turns to the first man. Flynn lunges forward to punch the man when he hits the ground and lands on his stomach.
"Trust me I do" the man on the ground says as he flips Flynn over and begins to punch him. The drunk man then comes back to Arian as he begins to come off the ground. Arian is then knocked back down when the man kicks him. As Arian is laying on the ground the man puts his foot on his chest and holds Arian down.
The man then pulls out a dagger and points it down at Arian.
"I think that I should leave a scar so you know that the great Azor is stronger th...".
"Leave him be!" I yell to Azor cutting him as he began to look for a place to to stab Arian.
"Oh really" Azor says as he gets off of Arian and begins to walk up to me.
As Azor gets closer I see the man that was on Flynn come over behind Azor. Azor looks at me on the ground then bends over and pulls me up by my hair.
"Ahh..stop..stop!" I yell angrily trying to move out of his grasp. Azor ignores me and pulls me up so that I am standing.
"So you want this dagger in you instead of that rat" Azor says while pointing at Arian who is slowly getting back up along with Flynn farther back.
"Yes because he.." I stop for a second while looking away.
"Because he what?" Azor says sarcastically.
"Because...because"
"Because what? Just spit it out or are you too scared?" Azor laughs and pulls more sending pain through my head.
"Because you are a man who rolls around in beer and filth who will never get a wife!" I yell as Arian comes up behind him with a glass bottle and breaks it on his head.
Azor let's go of me and I hit the ground sending more pain through my back as he falls over. Without time to turn around Flynn grabs a chair and breaks it on the other man's head. The man falls forward next to me nearly hitting my legs. I look to see Flynn smile as his face has a few bruises, his shirt is ripped a little bit, and he has blood coming from a cut on his cheek. I look closely at Arian and see his busted lip, scratch marks on his face and bruises.
I begin to try and get up when even more excruciating pain shoots through my back.
"Ahh" I breath as the pain begins to make my eyes water.
"Don't move!" Arian quickly yells as he gets in his knees and helps me up. I grab his arm for support to help me up and fight through the pain. Arian sets his hand lightly on my back to help me from wobbling. When he does I feel a warm liquid in my back and I quickly try to look back for anything.
"My back why is it so warm!" I quickly yell feeling more drain down. Arian quickly looks at me shirt closer and then picks the back up.
"Ahhh what are you doing?!" I scream and feel my face redden.
"Flynn grab the kit we need to hurry to the doctor!" Arian yells as he puts my shirt back down.
"Can you walk?" Arian ask me while his hand is still on my back.
"Let me try" I say as I take a step and nearly hit the ground before I am pulled back up by Arian.
"No you can't" Arian says as he picks me up in his arms and rushes me outside.
Arian jumps on the back of his horse after he puts me on before him.
"Flynn get your horse and along with the other one then bring them down to the doctor I will meet you there!" Arian yells with worry in his voice.
"Hyah!" Arian yells as he commands his horse to go while holding me close.
"What did you see on my back" I ask quietly while looking up. "You hurt your self by standing up for me you should have just been quiet you idiot" Arian says while he keeps looking up.
"Well that was mean" I grumble quietly while looking away.
We reach the doctors building when Arian begins to slow down his horse. When his horse stops he jumps off of it with me in his arms and runs inside. Busting through the doors I see people coughing and puking into buckets. Everyone's heads swings up to look at who came jumping through the door. Arian runs into the back and we find the doctor cleaning his hands in a wooden bowl full of water.
"Doctor Brown help us" Arian says while the doctors head swings back to look at us.
"No you can't just come barging in here you have to wait like the others" Doctor Brown commands with a strong accent.
"She is bleeding bad just help her" Arian says as his voice gets louder and deeper.
Doctor Brown walks up to me and looks at me in Arian's arms.
"Where is she hurt?" Doctor Brown asks.
"On her back" Arian quickly replies.
"Okay follow me" Doctor Brown says as he heads to the back rooms in his small clinic. Doctor Brown goes all the way to the end of the hallway to a door. Doctor Brown then opened the door and inside the room was a table, a bed, and medical supplies in the corner.
"Lay her on her stomach on the table" The doctor commanded while pointing to the table and walking to get supplies.
My vision begin to get blurry and sounds begin to get muffled. Each step Arian takes feels like am falling.
I am abruptly snapped back when I feel my shirt rip in the back. I open my eyes wider to see the table in front of me.
How did I already get here? I say in my head looking up to see the Doctor with supplies along with Arian next to him.
"What did she do?" Doctor Brown ask while pulling my shirt drenched in blood off of my back.
"She tried fighting with some men, along with Flynn and I, when she got cocky and got herself hurt" Arian says while looking at the doctor.
"Where were you?" Doctor Brown then asks.
"The pub" Arian replies quietly.
"That place is full of germs, idiots, and alcohol we need to clean the wound" Doctor Brown says sounding angry.
Doctor Brown rushes over to the cabinet and digs through the shelves while things clatter from it. The clatters keep going on for a few minutes when Arian says something.
"I hurt my self bad while working with a sword and to be honest it isn't good when he has to clean something as big as the mark on your back, it burns a lot" Arian says while looking at me with his brown eyes.
Thank you for making me feel better, I say in my head sarcastically.
I open my mouth to say something when Doctor Brown comes walking back over with a container.
"Okay I got it, Arian you may need to calm her down when I begin to pour it in the wound" Doctor Brown says while looking over to him. I look up to see Arian come closer to me and he reaches out towards my hands to grab them.
Without another word I feel a burning on my back.
"Ahhhhh" I scream feeling the worst pain that I have ever experienced. I begin to thrash to get away from the stinging as Arian tries to hold me down.
"You need to keep her still!" The doctor commands while pouring more.
"I'm trying!" Arian yells back while grabbing my wrists.
Before another pour I kick my legs out towards the doctor and nearly hit him.
"Hey you kick me I will hurt you more" The doctor says with a commanding voice and slaps my leg.
"You need calm down" Arian says while looking me in the eyes. As soon as I begin to calm down I feel the pain increase and I pull away from the doctor.
"Hold her!" Doctor Brown says with his accent getting stronger and his voice getting louder.
"Calm down I don't want to hurt your wrists" Arian says while looking down at me. I begin to raise up off the table as the medicine sets in causing more and more pain.
"Ahhhh" I scream once more with tears beginning to stream down my face. Arian pushes down on me with a little bit of force so that I am closer to the table. I feel more tears come as it begins to hurt more and more.
"Calm down, calm down, calm down" Arian whispers close to my face. Trying to let my pain out a different way I pound my fist on the table. The pain feels like it's getting worse and worse as more tears keep streaming down my face and at this point I am crying like a child. Finally I can't take the pain anymore as everything goes black.
