Review Below, Let me Know! ^^
Robin shot up awake. "Geh!" He was taking deep breaths and quickly grasped his head, pain circulating throughout his entire body.
"Robin! You're awake!" Lissa called.
Robin looked over, saw Lissa, dust covering her, blood stains and tears in her clothes. He stood up, wobbling a bit off balance and looked at the destruction around them. The Hot Springs building was reduced to rubble. "We gotta get out of here." He said.
"Wait!" Lissa said. "Lon'qu is still hurt!"
Lissa showed Robin where Lon'qu was laying with the others around him. His clothes were ripped off showing off his strong, muscular arms and abs heaving as he took deep breaths. His clothes were wrapped and pressed against his sword wound, blood seeping through the cloth.
"Oh, damn it, Lon'qu…" Robin said. "Is everybody else all right?"
"That bitch stabbed me!" Nah said. Her clothes were stained with dried off blood, but she didn't seem to be injured.
Robin looked at the others. Laurent and Henry both seemed fine, if a little wet. Inigo was away from the rest of the group, sitting with his face in his hands. Lucina was sitting on the ground, the damage on her legs looked severe.
"Lucina!" Robin rushed over and knelt down to her. "Your legs!"
"Don't worry about it…" Lucina replied with defeat in her voice. "…Christina stole all our supplies. She left two Elixirs and we used those to save Lissa and Nah."
"What about you?" Robin asked.
"I'll be fine," she reassured him. They smiled at each other at this most inopportune time.
"Ahem!" Lissa coughed up. "Lon'qu's DYING you two!"
Robin quickly stood up embarrassed and looked back at Lon'qu. "Um, right! First thing we gotta do is find a place to hide. People will be coming here soon."
"Highly illogical." Laurent interjected. "Should the Bay're Riders come to this town, they will destroy it, along with any hiding place we might be in."
"We can't go far with Lon'qu and Lucina like this." Robin stated. "And I bet these people won't hesitate to make us pay for all this. Best bet is to hide nearby."
The group slipped away from the springs and avoided the mass panic of the townspeople. They couldn't get far in their condition, and slipped into the back of an empty building, just on the edge of town. Laurent and Inigo both assisted Lon'qu and laid him down across the ground, while Robin carried Lucina into the barn and set her down against the wall. Lissa followed from behind glaring at him and Lucina. Once everyone was inside, Henry (the last one inside) closed the door behind him.
"Okay." Robin spoke up. "We have no supplies, no weapons, no money and Lon'qu is dying. Anyone got any ideas?"
Everybody just looked at Robin expecting him to come up with something.
Robin sighed. "'Please Robin, come up with a plan for us'. Okay, I will. What else am I good for?"
"Now's not the time to be an ass." Nah said.
"Christina did not take all of our supplies." Laurent stated, holding up the sword. "She didn't take Lon'qu's sword."
"I still have my spell book." Henry said. "I can burn down the whole town if you want."
"No!" Lissa slapped Henry on the back of the head. "Bad Henry!"
Robin took the sword from Laurent and examined it. "Okay, here's what we're going to do. Lissa's going to stay here and take care of Lon'qu and Lucina. Nah, Laurent and Inigo: You guys are going to search the town; vulnerary, elixir, staves, whatever we can use to heal Lon'qu. Henry, you and me are going after Christina and we are going to kill her."
"Yay, death!" Henry cheered.
"What if the Bay're Riders come here?" Nah asked.
"Um… Improvise." Robin replied. "Let's go, Henry."
"Robin, wait." Inigo stopped them.
Robin turned to him. "Yeah, what's up?"
"Uh… This is all my fault." Inigo admitted. "Christina tricked me and I gave her a look at that one spell book and she used the spell to destroy the hot springs. I am terribly sorry."
Inigo closed his eyes as he felt like Lucina was about to scream at him, but then Robin placed his hands on his shoulder and looked him directly in the eye.
"Inigo…" Robin said. "You are an idiot, but I'm not going to worry about that right now. We'll deal with it later. Save Lon'qu and all will be forgiven. Let's go, Henry."
Robin and Henry left the building and as soon as the door closed, Henry says, "Time to kill some bitches!"
Robin and Henry walked about half an hour into the forest. Keeping up a brisk pace, the calm was supported by the chirping of birds.
"The birds sure are cheery today!" Henry spoke up.
"Henry you need to keep quiet!" Robin whispered. "You don't want to give us away!"
Robin took a step forward and snapped a branch twig.
Snap.
Risen rose out of the bushes and from behind the tree's. Robin and Henry were completely surrounded by a platoon of Risen foot soldiers.
"Well that-"
"Shut up Henry!"
One of the Risen approached Robin, unarmed, and Robin cut it down with his sword. The Risen began to charge en masse. Henry used his black magic to attack the Risen. The dark auras surrounded the monsters, slowing them down. The Risen Robin had struck down got back up; it seemed like these were more durable than the others. Robin slashed it two more times and stabbed it in the chest. The Risen held onto the sword, began to step back and two Risen walk from the sides and push Robin back with the sword still stuck in the Risen's chest. The Risen then began to gang up on Robin.
"Gah! Dammit!" Robin grunted. "Henry, help!"
One of the Risen swung an axe at Henry's book and cut it in two. Then the Risen began to gang up on Henry just like they were doing with Robin.
"Heehee! Looks like we're going to get eaten!" Henry laughed.
The Risen pinned Robin down to the ground and were growling so close to his face he could smell their rotting breath. The mass of Risen bodies obscured his view as Henry's body began to fade.
"Henry! HENRY!" Robin shouted.
The Risen smashed Robin's head with its fist and knocked him out with a ringing in his ear. He could feel them dragging his body against the ground and keeping him down so he couldn't get back up.
For a couple of hours, Robin was dragged across the ground until the Risen forcibly grabbed him up by his arms. What appeared before him was the ruined tower they were at the other night. They brought him in the tower and dragged him up the stairs. Upon reaching the top floor of the tower, he saw Christina, sitting in a chair, waiting for him.
"Hiiii Robby." Christina said. He tone was sweet, innocent and mocking. She crossed her legs and leaned forward with a smile. The Window shined the sunlight directly on her. "What do you think of the new place? It's only temporary, I plan on moving on soon. I'm so glad you come in and say hi."
"Screw you!"
"Don't be so mean!" Christina snapped. "I told my Risen not to kill you, so we can have one of those nice talks we always have. You don't need to snap at me."
"What about Henry huh?" Robin asked. "Did they spare him?"
"I told them only you live." Christina explained leaning back into her chair. "I could care less about those other people." She got up from the chair and walked up to Robin. She placed her hands on his cheeks and gave a devils smile. "You Robin...you seem to be the center of my life these days."
Robin wanted to punch her, but forgot the Risen were holding him back, so when he tried to move his body the Risen pinned him to the ground.
"Don't be so rough." Christina said to the Risen. "He's fragile."
The Risen picked Robin off the ground and stood him up. Another Risen came from behind and dusted the dirt off his clothes before going back behind them.
"Now I'll cut the crap." Christina said with reluctance. "...you hate me. Your friends died because of me. Vaike and Tharja. Yes I remember their names. But is that really a reason to vilify me?"
"Yes!"
"So...I'm a villain for planning a battle against an enemy, resulting in death for that enemy? Oh you hypocrite!"
"Excuse me?!"
"All I did was do what you do everyday for Chrom. The only difference is that I lost! Therefore I am a villain. The only difference is you are on the front lines every battle, killing fathers, sons, and comrades, like Vaike and Tharja. While I only ever killed 2 people in my entire life."
"We're trying to protect people! The world is in danger of falling into ruin and we are trying to save everyone we can. It's different!"
"No it's not! You're throwing around excuses. According to your logic, no excuses can justify it. I've done my best to help people! These cults out here...they obsess over my strange magic, but they follow me because I did kind things for them...helped them out ya know? I know you do that. So what gives you the right to vilify me?"
"...You know what? Fine."
"...I'm sorry?"
"I'm a monster. Is that what you want to hear? You and I are alike. Is that it? I don't care. The point is your my enemy. Nothing's going to change that."
Christina clenched her fists. "...Fine!" she snapped. She then drew her sword and stabbed Robin right in the chest. She twisted the blade, sharpening the pain. She pulled the sword off and used a handkerchief to wipe the blood off. "I won't let you die. I have one of your elixirs to heal you up. I just wanted you to feel my pain."
"No!" Robin snapped. "Lon'qu needs that!"
Christina looked at him in shock. "Are you serious?" she asked. "You could die from that wound!"
"My friend WILL die if he doesn't get help."
Christina turned away and pulled out the elixir. "So that will be my third." she muttered and held the elixir in front of his mouth. "Drink up."
Robin pressed his lips down, refusing to drink the elixir no matter how much Christina pushed it.
"Will you stop being so Stubborn?!" Christina snapped. She pulled the elixir back and looked back and forth between the vile in her hand and Robin. "Ok...ok will do it different way."
Christina took the elixir an began to drink it down herself.
"No Don't-" Robin tried to stop her, but Christina's hand grabbed him by the chin. She didn't drink the elixir but instead stored it in her mouth. She held Robin's head still as she pressed her lips against his. Their lips locked in a kiss as Christina forced the elixir from her mouth into his. Robin resisted to drink it down, but Christina refused to part her lips away. Second after second past, and resisting became harder and harder. Robin couldn't handle it anymore and swallowed down the elixir. The wound in robins chest made a rapid recovery. Even after the elixir was gone, Christina refused to pull her lips away. Revealing in every second, she made the most of this opportunity. So soft...so warm...creating a euphoria like never before. After a few long moments, she needed a breath and slowly parted her lips from his.
"Mmmmm," Christina moaned. "Totally worth it. Wouldn't you agree?"
Robin didn't answer as he caught his breath. Christina wiped her finger against his lips, wiping a little drop of the elixir that was left.
"You drank the whole thing?" she asked. "How selfish. Now Lon'qu is going to die."
"SHUT UP! YOU-" Robin shouted, but Christina placed a single finger on his lips, which silenced him.
"I got the sense that you actually enjoyed it." She giggled. "More so than your princesses I bet...or maybe...I was your special girl."
The Risen smacked Robin in the head with harsh force, dazing him again. Christina walked away and packed up her new supplies.
"Toss him." She ordered. The Risen then dragged Robin to the towers window, lifted him up and tossed him out.
Robin landed on the ground on his side, spraining or breaking at least several bones. Robin tried to get up, but the pain kept surging throughout his body. Drinking the elixir now would've been much more logical. "Damn it!" He muttered. "I really hate her!"
