Here is the next chapter (finally)! I am disappointed as I got only one review for the last chapter! At first I didn't want to update. But still, being a bit generous I updated. But from now onwards if no reviews, I will stop updating!
Now, enjoy! :D
Chapter-9 The Battle Begins
Her last words rang through his head. Tamara couldn't be dead. She just couldn't. He entered the room and to his horror saw Tamara lying unconscious on the ground, blood flowing from her head.
"Tamara!" he shouted and ran to her side. He placed her head on his lap, quickly tore a strip of cloth from the sleeve of his shirt and wrapped it round her head to stop the bleeding. He looked at her and she was breathing heavily. "Oh Tamara! What have they done to you?" he whispered.
"Well, well. What a touching site! If it isn't my nephew who has come to visit us," Viscar said in a mocking tone.
Alexander felt his anger rising. He took his sword and plunged it through Viscar's sleeve, causing him to scream in pain.
"How dare you? You will pay for that," Jadis said casting a spell that sent him crashing to the ground. Alexander sprained his ankle in the process but he was way too angry to let that stop him.
"I don't think so," he replied, getting up again.
Alexander was having a hard time fighting against both Viscar and Jadis at the same time.
While they were fighting, Tamara regained her consciousness, looking about her, to see what happened. She finally remembered what was going on, and was terrified to see Alexander battling the two altogether, alone.
"Jadis, go and tell Javier to bring in the men," Viscar said. With that Jadis ran out of the place and came back, after a long time, with more men.
I have to help Alexander. He can't possibly take on this army all by himself. After all, I do know how to fight, thanks to Aunt Corrine, Tamara thought. She had learned quite a few moves from her Aunt Corrine, who was a musketeer in France. So, she quickly painted a sword with the paintbrush and, of course, it became real.
She stood up with a bit of difficulty as her head was still hurting, but she didn't care. She took the sword and began fighting with the other men and Jadis while Alexander took on Viscar. At first Alexander stared at her amused at what she was doing but then he turned back to his opponent in time to dodge a fatal blow.
But, they seemed to be quite outnumbered.
"Penelope, can you hear the sound of swords? It has to be Tamara, I mean if anything would happen the first thing that would come to her mind would be to fight back, which could be dangerous. I wonder why Corrine had to teach her all that," she said with a worried expression.
Both Rapunzel and Stefan ran towards the direction from where the sound was coming, followed by Penelope and Hobie, and found a cave. They entered it and started walking till they reached the wooden door.
