"Claire!" Leon looked all over for her. He shouldn't have reacted like that. He had proven what she had been afraid of. She didn't think he would accept her if she had told him, and he had backed her into a corner, making her tell... He shook his head, looking down. "I'm sorry, Claire... just come back..." He caught something through the corner of his eye, and went over to it. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. It was a big pool of blood. He knelt down to it, looking around a little. "Claire!" He knew he had to find her... fast...
"My Alexia... my dear, sweet Alexia... what have they done to you?" Alfred sat beside a bed, stroking her hair a little. He had fixed up her wound as best as he could. "Do not worry, my Alexia... I will take care of you... and I will kill those responsible for hurting you..."
She opened her gold eyes slightly, turning her head a little and looking at him. She reached for him slightly. "Alfred... I... I thought I lost you..."
He took her hand, holding it gently. "I am back now... to protect you..." he rubbed his cheek against her hand. It was soft... just like he remembered. "I will never leave you again, Alexia... I promise..."
She smiled lightly. "I know you won't, Alfred..." she pulled him down in a hug. "Now I must rest to regain my strength..." she kissed him on the cheek before letting him go and laying back, closing her eyes and falling asleep, with Alfred looking over her.
(Sorry for the delay... I'm sure everyone's forgotten about me now . Sorry! Life's just been busy. And this is all I could get)
