KEEPGOINGDOWN
Barging in he heard the startled gasp of a woman before passing out…….
Hanan watched as a mysterious man fell to her floor his blood making a puddle.
Without giving it a second thought she bent down took his hand and felt for his pulse. Once assured there was a life to save she picked him up the best she could and dragged him under one of the tables.
She then moved the chairs around so that he was hidden from sight. Hearing feet pounding towards her lone house she quickly blew out all the candles. Then she made her way to the door praying that it was now too dark to see the door closing she made sure that she locked her door.
Using all the rags she could find she began to soak the blood up. She then went into a cabinet to get a rug and placed it on the floor to cover any remaining stains.
BANG BANG BANG
Acting as sleepy as she could she popped her head out and said, "What is it that I may help you with?" Her voice retained a cool tone to it while still keeping a drowsy sound.
"We have reason to believe that there is an assassin hiding about."
"Then why are you bothering me?"
"Because he may be in there."
"Do you think I am so blind that I cannot spot a man in my own home?"
"You were sleeping were you not?"
"Yes but I have no windows the only way in is through two doors which were locked before you came." She said giving him an attitude showing that he was annoying her.
"Woman learn your place. As your better I demand to search your house!" The guard said getting angered with her.
"Unless you have a good reason to search my home; I will not let you in."
The guard's anger had peaked and was now overflowing. With a red face he raised an armored hand and swiftly slashed it across her face leaving open gashes on the right of her face. Not only that, but the impact itself caused her head to bash into the wall on the side of her.
Yet, with a will far too strong and rebellious she answered, "You are doing an awful job at getting the people of the holy lands favor."
With that statement the guard realized that had anyone seen this they would surly be more defiant to his King than they already were.
With a glare the guard left turning his back to her and ordering his men to once again spread out in search of the heathen.
Hanan once again closed and locked her door. "God damn those insufferable men!" she cursed to herself.
A groan of pain, and Hanan was reminded of her unexpected guest. She quickly moved to him taking both his arms around her neck and dragging him to her bedroom. She felt his panting breath showing that he has not given up just yet.
Laying him on his stomach he gave a groan of protest. Though Hanan knew if she were to move him on his back it would be even worse.
Quickly she stripped him of his clothes leaving on his under shorts not bothering to marvel at the mass amount of scars on both his stomach and back. She set to work on cleaning the wounds.
She then moved swiftly out back checking for any guards still wondering around in search of the killer. She called over Abdul- Nasir and told him the herbs she required which were Arjuna, Ginseng, and Arka. (These are real plants which are actually used in cures)
She took the Arka plant first using its leaves numbing properties so that the man will not feel any pain. She first applied it to his back. Then waited for the plant to take affect so that she could flip him over to tend to his other wounds.
Once Abdul- Nasir returned with the second plant she asked for she took it from him and applied the Ginseng to his stomach wound to get rid of the infection that maybe there. She then took the Arjuna bark chopped it then took her mortar and pestle to further pulverize it.
She then took the cinders and sprinkled it on his back. So that the plant could get rid of his old decaying cells and replaces them with healthy ones, all the while steadying his heartbeat.
She then repeated the process on his back all the while changing sheets and keeping a constant supply of clean water. Once she was finally done she got a needle cleaned it as well as she could and then used her strongest thread to stitch his wounds closed.
She took a whole Ginseng root and applied it to the freshly sutured wounds and then bandaged it all together so that the plant could keep the injuries clean.
Finally Hanan was done she took all the remains of the surgery and began to clean knowing that she would be unable to open her shop until the strange man awoken.
SKIP 3 DAYS
Altair had started to slip into a dazed consciousness but that quickly changed to high alert. 'What is this I should be dead how is it that I am alive?'
"Come Abdul- Ra'uf this way."
As soon as Altair heard the foreign voice he quickly evened out his breathing which was oddly easier with the sensation of not feeling his back or stomach.
"Hmmmmmm it seem our guest is still slumbering. -Sigh- let us clean him."
Altair knew that the voice was that of a woman but it was far too dull and lazy to be any normal woman. Altair was shocked to the realization that his body did not tense when she put a wet rag to his face, but he was even more shocked to feel that that was basically the only part of his body that he could feel. Just as he was going to ponder this the woman spoke again.
Clicking with her tongue as you would when someone saw something disappointing she said "It seems Ra'uf that our guest is not as asleep as we first believed."
Altair snapped his eyes open to see a young woman with very long brown hair going beyond what he could see. Her eyes were a peculiar color they were blue, a light blue. Her face had sharp angles that would soften if she were to relax or smile though he could only see her left side.
Altair's first reaction was to hold her to the ground and interrogate her. Yet this was futile due to his paralyzed state.
"What have you done to me wench?" Altair demanded in a cold angered voice. Even in his weak state to honestly be at the mercy of some woman was just plain damaging to his pride.
"Now now Sayyid Assassin that is no way to get the feeling back in your body so that you may kill me honestly and they say assassins are cunning and clever." Hanan replied lazily as she looked at the antidote for the paralysis. Swirling it around in its' bowl.
(Sayyid is Mister in Arabicn. Now I tried on Google to find a plant that neutralizes paralysis but couldn't find one so I just took two plants known for causing paralysis and did the whole canceling each other out thing it does not really work hell it'd probably would be deadly or make it worse. The plants being used on the "antidote" are Arka and Asgurash)
Altair growled in annoyance 'How dare this woman have the gall to do this to me' Altair thought.
Hanan waited for a response when none came she set about what she had originally planned on doing. Untying the bandages she looked his well healed wounds, all that was left were small slits that were slightly deep.
She began to change his bandage renew his herbs but was stopped by.
"Do not touch my person woman."
Not even bothering to look up, "You truly are in no position to be talking." Was all Hanan replied.
Altair was going to say more but held his tongue as he rethought his situation. It was then he noticed the white fox watching him with lazy eyes of distaste.
"Why is that thing here?" he asked discreetly trying to find out more about the mysterious woman who apparently helped him.
"Hmm ah you mean Abdul- Ra'uf yes well he is my fox. He is one of my most loyal pet." She replied still too concentrated with her work.
"I see. One of your most loyal pet, I take it you have more." Altair responded not letting his voice change in anyway.
"Quite, I have my horse Abdul- Hadi" the nehying (sp?) of a horse was heard "my rabbit Abdul- Nasir" a black rabbit appeared by her side "and then my bird Abdul- Hafiz" a bird's call was heard.
"Where is your husband? Certainly he does not permit all these creatures in his home."
"This is my home and mine alone my pets are all the family I need. I need not a man in anyway." Came her harsh reply, and for the first time lifted her eyes to him only to show enraged electric blue.
"That is quite uncommon." Was all Altair said seeing this as a touchy subject he did not feel like angering a woman who was at an advantage to do anything to him.
After that she finished quickly waving toward Altair her fox immediately sat up his body in an attack ready position as he stared down at Altair.
Altair merely stared back. Yet he was broken from his little contest by Hanan's words "By the next sunrise you should be able to leave."
