A/N: Thanks to Tani, Green Fairy, Pink Umbrella, and baby 1890! Disclaimer: *Giggles* Okay.I own it!! *Guards come and throw me to the floor, handcuff me, and start to drag me away* It was a joke! It was a JOKE!!!!!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Natalie started to cry. "I'll never get him help in time." She looked up at the street sign and felt a warm surge of hope. They were only 2 blocks away from Christians' Villa! "Don't worry Christian, I'm getting there." Natalie gasped, heaving him up and slowly walking down the street. She was breathing hard, hugging Christian to her chest to try and stem the bleeding. After about 15 minutes, she dragged him up them steps, turned the doorknob, and fell in the front door, Christian lying on top of her. "JACK! SHELEIGH! I NEED HELP!!" she screamed. Sheleigh appeared at the foot of the steps and covered her mouth with her hand. "Don't just stand there, get a doctor!!" Natalie cried. Sheleigh hurriedly bundled up ran out the door. Jack lifted Christian off of Natalie and carried him into the parlor. Unfortunately, removing Christian from Natalie made him start to bleed again. "Good, he's still alive." Natalie muttered. "Christian? Christian!" Natalie said, trying to wake him up. "Christian!" Natalie drew back her hand and slapped him.
"Uh! Oh. Oh my god! I'm bleeding!" Christian winced in pain as he tried to get up.
"Christian! Don't! You'll make it bleed more!" Natalie bent over him. "Jack, get a cloth or something! And some wine!" Natalie pressed her own hands on the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. Natalie took the wine and cloth from Jacks' hands as soon as he appeared. "Christian, this may be stupid since its alcohol, and you having the problem, but I don't care." Natalie bit down on the cork and spit it out. She made Christian take big gulps, then place the wine on the coffee table. She took the cloth and pressed down on the wound again.
When Sheleigh finally turned up with the doctor, Christian was a little drunk. Half the wine was gone, and Natalie had blood all down her front, and over her hands. "Move out of the way girl!" the doctor said, shoving her rudely aside. "This is serious!"
"I Know it's serious you dimwit!" Natalie yelled.
"Come, Natalie, we better wait outside." Sheleigh said, taking Natalie around the arms and leading her to the hall.
Tense moments passed. Natalie paced the hall, wringing her bloody hands together. At the beginning of the next hour, the doctor walked out of the room. "He's asleep. He'll be all right." He turned to Natalie. "You. You saved his life doing what you did. If it weren't for you. well, he just needs to take some medicine every day. About 2 weeks of rest and he'll be alright. Mademoiselles." He tipped his hat and left.
Natalie walked into the parlor after Sheleigh made her wash the blood off her hands. Christian had no shirt on (Teehee!) and was bandaged. He had a look of contentment on his face; his black hair was splayed across his forehead. (A/N: Wouldn't he look SO gorgeous?) Natalie took a blanket and covered up Christian. She sat in a rocking chair beside him and stroked his slightly damp forehead, then eventually fell asleep. (A/N: I'd give everything I had to do that! Don't know why I'm telling you this) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Duke and Satine had returned to the manor. They were in the drawing room.
"My Dear." The Duke began. "I have a question for you."
"What is it, sweetheart?" Satine asked.
"Your sisters' name is Natalie, and she looks a lot like you, is that correct?" He asked.
"Yes. She does." Satine answered.
"Then why. was a girl looking astonishingly like you and being called Natalie by Christian in the lobby with him?!"
Satine didn't respond she made a few odd noises and fell silent.
"Would this mean.that you LIED TO ME AND HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRISTIAN?!" The Duke grabbed Satine and threw her to the floor. "ANSWER ME!"

Satine whimpered. "Yes."
The Duke growled and threw her against the wall. He slapped her 4 times and threw her down on the floor. "Now.maybe you won't lie to me after this." He walked from the room, his footsteps becoming fainter and fainter until the sound disappeared.
Satine slowly got up. It wasn't the first time he had lost his temper. She needed to get out of there. She ran to her bedroom and quickly collected some clothes and jewelry. She tiptoed downstairs and out the front door into the cold, wintry night. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ A/N: Hmmm. Satine has left the Duke, where will she go now? Did you think I would kill off Christian, the damn sexy man that he is? Hehe! Ok, Well I told you that I'd hurry with the next chapter and here it is! Now I still have my precious thumbs! *Starts kissing her thumbs* I love my little thumbs, oh yes I do! Ok, I will update as soon as I can, but in The USA, it's almost Independence Day and my brother has been sick so I will try as hard as I can to get another chapter this week! Until next time my fellow Bohemian Wanna-bes! (Or true Bohemians.)
