-Well here I am again I have decided to do some experimenting till I find a good spacing so you will have t deal unless someone has any hints?

-make sure to check out my other story and review that one as well

-Also, I am not sure how tall Zachary and Karigan are in comparison to each other so I made Karigan slightly shorter

-note for those who do not know there body parts the sternum is that hard thing above your heart.

Previously -The man flourished the hand holding the goblet and moved it towards the king she saw Zachary's eyes look away from the man and at the goblet as the man moved his right hand she screamed as the man…

Started to thrust his blade at Zachary's heart, Karigan knew instantly she would only

have only one chance to get there in time she lunged desperately kicking off with her left leg

as hard as she possibly could and twisting her body to put herself between the man and

Zachary, however she had forgotten the mans arm which hit her with a glancing blow

knocking the goblet out of his hand, it was not enough to stop her desperate lunge but it

threw her off balance and instead of landing in front of the dagger with her back facing the

man, she ended up crashing into Zachary knocking him off his feet and with her facing the

blade. She desperately tried to block the mans arm but it was to late the blade which had

been meant for Zachary's heart instead struck her sternum right about her heart and was

deflected up it went through the top of her right breast and continued till it hit her collar bone

then the blade got lodged under her collar bone. Karigan screamed in agony as the blade

sliced her chest she dropped to her knees unable to remain standing her left hand pressing on

the wound "you bitch" she dimly heard a voice dripping with malice say Karigan looked up it

was the man starting down at her with fury burning in his eyes. The man quickly produced two

more daggers which he had some how smuggled in and taking them in both hands he took a

step towards Zachary, Who was still on the floor just turning around in bewilderment to see

what had knocked him down, without thinking and ignoring the fiery agony ripping through

her chest she tackled the man and grappled with him desperately to try and buy time until the

Weapons pushed there way through the crowd. Which were now panicking making the

Weapons it even more difficult but this was beyond Karigan notice for she was desperately

struggling with the man she had managed to grab his arms and keep the daggers away from

her but she was injured and the man was strong and her strength was waning. With a vicious

twist of his left hand the man broke her grip on his left hand and stabbed at her throat trying

to kill her with a desperate jerk she avoided a fatal wound instead the blade buried itself in her

left arm. Karigan refused to acknowledge the pain but she knew she was in danger for the

dagger in her arm would quickly start sapping her strength in that arm, soon the man would

be able to break her grip on his other hand and he would get another chance to kill her. All

these thoughts occurred in the spilt second the mans dagger buried itself in her arm she

quickly knew what she had to do. The mans left arm was fully extended to stab her arm and

her right arm had been flung out wide, mustering all her remaining strength she brought her

forearm down on his elbow as hard as she could the man screamed in agony as she broke his

elbow. During that instant when the man had with withdrawn his left arm, she quickly seized

her advantage and knocked the dagger out of his other hand the man shouted in rage and

agony, punched her with his good arm the blow landed right under the blade lodged under

collar bone she screamed as a shock of agony spread though out her body. Something deep

inside Karigan seemed to snap and she felt all her pain vanish and strength flood her body

and her scream of agony turned into a scream of fury the only thought that was in her mind

was that this man had tried to harm the man she loved and that he would pay. It was that

thought that lead her, ignoring all pain, to grab the mans throat in her left hand and slam her

fist into the mans face the man let out a groan, with out a thought Karigan slammed her fist

into his face again this time she continued to slam her fist into the mans face, the only

thought on her mind was to make this man suffer for even thinking about harming the man

she loved. Karigan was so intent on blood, that when a pair of hands grabbed her and

dragged her off the man that she whirled and struck the person, the man stumbled back and it

was only after the man raised his head that she realized that it was Zachary whom she had

just punched square in the face. She stared in horror at the blood that was on Zachary's face

it was not she quickly discerned from him she looked down at her fist it was covered in blood,

she glanced over at the man his face was a mass of blood and there was bone showing

through in some places she let out a gasp at seeing what she had done she quickly looked

back at Zachary the horror easily discernable in her eyes. She quickly looked away afraid that

he would condemn her, she glanced around she was surprised to see that they were

surrounded by a circle of weapons. One of whom was keeling by the man checking his pulse

he looked at Zachary and nodded his head, she felt a wave of relief through out her body she

did not know what she would have done if she had killed the man. The fire that had supported

her was ebbing "Karigan" she heard Zachary say she slowly looked at him fearing what she

would see in his eyes she meet his eyes prepared to accept his condemnation she gasped

when she saw what was in his eyes there was on condemnation just concern "Karigan are you

alright?" Zachary asked she felt a another flood of relief flood through out her body the only

outward trace she gave was a small sob that only he would have been able to hear she

nodded her head then opened her mouth to tell her she was fine when suddenly she felt a

wave of dizziness pass through her she shook her head trying to clear her head but the

dizziness just got worse "Karigan?" She heard Zachary's questioning voice she looked at him

and tried to say something but the effort was to much the action of moving her eyes had

made the room spin then blackness descended on her the last thing she saw was Zachary

lunging desperately towards her.

I am not quite pleased with the is chapter but it is alright from this point in the story I have a couple of different direction I can go so I may be a while before I update I started a forum disc. On misc. things I will probably put up some ideas there and you can give me feed back to which one you think is best and I am coming to hate periods and these things ,

-I am also aware that Karigan is much more violent in my story then in the books but sometimes she seems too nice to me.
