The Musketeer's Daughter by LedgerGrl22
Chapter 2- Interrupted Duels
As Aramis and Emily rode to the ruins, there were already three men waiting there. "Porthos, D'Artagnan, you are both dueling this stranger?" Aramis asked not revealing her name. "Yes," they both said, "I'm fighting him now," D'Artagnan said, "But "I'm fighting him at 1 o'clock," said Porthos, displeased once again. "Haha, well, let's get on with it then," said the third man (who appeared to be Athos), leaning up against the tree, chuckling and smoking his pipe.
As Emily and D'Artagnan got ready, Emily looked over at Athos and smiled. Aramis stood aside and leaned up against the tree with the Athos, as they watched. D'Artagnan and Emily unsheathed their swords, and they both clashed together. As Emily backed off, she heard hoof beats and turned around. While she was turned around, D'Artagnan sliced at her arm, leaving a long, red bloodstain. "Aah!" Emily yelled and D'Artagnan smiled but then looked up and saw eight Cardinal's guards standing there. "You are under arrest, haven't you heard? The musketeers are being taken to prison. While the King is away on his trip for his anniversary with the queen, the Cardinal has brought up the opportunity to arrest all musketeers before the King gets back from his trip. You four are under arrest, the boy is of no interest to me, and he is free to go. Will you come quietly, or do you intend to resist?" Porthos exclaimed, "Oh don't be so stupid, of course we intend to resist, just give us a moment all right?" The guards looked at each other confused. "Eight of them, four of us, hardly seems fair," whispered Porthos. As Emily tried to get into the action, D'Artagnan said, "What are you doing? This isn't your fight, you're not a musketeer." "As my father always said, that I did not wear the tunic, but I still had the heart of a musketeer." "Your father is quite a." D'Artagnan said. "Warrior," Porthos filled in, Aramis filled in following, "Poet." "You got a name, stranger?" Porthos asked. "You'll have to forgive me, I'm not who you think I am," Emily whispered. D'Artagnan exclaimed, "What? You're a spy aren't you?" "Who are you?" Athos asked. Emily responded, "It's nice to see you again.Father." As Aramis, Athos, Porthos and D'Artagnan looked at each other confused, pointing at each other, Emily took off her disguise (well, at least her hat). As Athos looked at her, he recognized her, "Emily, what are you doing here?" D'Artagnan barged in and said, "You never told me you had a son." Aramis corrected him, "Not a son, a daughter." Emily smiled and suddenly said, "Oh! May I borrow somebody's sash?" Aramis handed her one, she wrapped it around her bloody arm tightly. As Athos looked at it, he stared at D'Artagnan, and he exclaimed, "HEY! I didn't know she was a girl." Athos chuckled, then said, "Emily, stay out of this! It's too dangerous." "No way! You need my help! All for one and one for all, right?" D'Aratgnan said, "All right, let's go." As they all jumped around, Porthos screamed, "Now we are prepared to resist you." Everyone lunged at each other. Two guards fell dead first. Porthos moved on to the next two victims. Athos dueled the head guard and was backed into a corner. Emily cut in and sliced the guard in the stomach. Emily ran over to a fat guard with two blades. She slashed at him, but he blocked with both swords. She finally sliced at his foot, and while he was howling in pain, she stabbed him in the stomach. D'Artagnan dueled swift and quickly and pushed a guard off the old bridge. Porthos threw a bola at a crazed guard and broke his nose again, "God, I love my work!" Aramis quickly was trapped with two guards. Emily stabbed the first guard from the back and Aramis sliced the second in the chest. "Well done, Emily," he said. "Thank you," she said, catching her breath. "Well, now that that is taken care of, what are we going to do with the girl?" Porthos asked D'Artagnan. "She's obviously coming with us.with her father." "That's right. Now who could've ordered to have the musketeers arrested even with the Cardinal being watched?" Athos asked the group. Emily said, "Oh, I overheard something from a man in a black coat named Rachefort, the younger brother of Rochefort. He said that he would kill the four musketeers that revealed the Cardinal's betrayal and led his brother to his death. Now he's coming after me too, he caught me overhearing and started to race after me. Luckily, I lost him, that's when I rode into Paris to find you." "So he's out to kill you? We have to get you to safety." Athos said anxiously. "But what about you guys and your safety? Will you be all right?" Emily said worried. "Of course, we'll be all right, don't worry about us. Come on let's go to the inn nearby." Aramis said. All five of them trotted off, leaving a fresh trail of hoof prints for Rachefort and the Cardinal's guards to find.
