The Musketeer's Daughter by LedgerGrl22
Chapter 6: Rescheduled Plan
Through the crowd of the musketeers, four familiar faces appeared and came rushing in. "Cardinal Richelieu, you are under arrest, once again charged with treason and betrayal," the King said. "Ah, but my guards will kill both you and your musketeers this time." Emily grabbed a knife hidden in her pants and cut the ropes, tied around her hands. She quickly picked up a sword and pointed it at Rachefort. "Now you die, not me." Rachefort chuckled and withdrew his sword and began his duel with her. The four musketeers were all preoccupied with all guards surrounding them. Athos and Aramis could only watch Emily's duel with Rachefort, concerned. As Athos, Aramis, Porthos and D'Artagnan fought off the guards, the Cardinal took this advantage to run off to the secret passage. The King and D'Artagnan ran after him. Athos, Aramis and Porthos left for other musketeers to finish off the guards. Athos yelled, "Emily! Are you all right?" "I'm fine," Emily answered, but then winced. Emily continued clashing swords with Rachefort. "Porthos, come. We must help her," Aramis said. "All right, let's go." Porthos and Aramis ran up to assist Emily. Athos followed, watching Emily's every move.
D'Artagnan and the King finally caught up with Richelieu. He was holding up a gun and began pointing it at the King's heart, as he said, "Long live the king." As he pulled the trigger, D'Artagnan lunged at him with his sword and jumped in front of the King. As the shot rang, Richelieu was stabbed and would finally die for his crimes. As he fell, D'Artagnan whispered to him, "Godspeed, Richelieu." D'Artagnan began limping back to the throne room with the King. The bullet had luckily hit part of his shoulder, and thankfully he would live. As they entered the throne room through the secret passage, they could see that Rachefort was backing off and Emily was winning the duel. Athos and Porthos unsheathed their swords and started to surround Rachefort and Emily. Athos started getting closer to Rachefort. "What are you doing, Father? I don't want to lose you too. Be careful!" As Athos started dueling Rachefort, Rachefort lunged his sword near Athos' heart. Emily ran toward him to try to stop him, but she had fallen into Rachefort's trap. Rachefort surprisingly turned around and stuck his sword out to Emily's heart instead. Emily was so unprepared for this attack, that as she tried to stop in time, she felt his sword penetrate through her chest. Emily could feel the sword slide out, as she turned around and fell near Aramis' feet. "No!!!!!" Athos cried out. Athos angrily began to duel Rachefort in a furious rage, to avenge Emily.
