The Musketeer's Daughter by LedgerGrl22
Chapter 7: The Fifth Musketeer
Aramis quickly knelt down and sat Emily up, "I'm sorry Aramis. Can I ask you a question?" Emily asked, as she began breathing shallowly. "Of course, what is it?" "If a person is not a believer of God, could that person become a believer while she is dying?" "Of course, may God forgive you of any sins you may have committed, Amen." "Thank you Aramis. Please come closer," Emily said with labored breaths. Aramis leaned closer to Emily, and she raised her head and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you so much for being so kind to me. I will miss you," Emily said gasping, and whimpering softly. Aramis looked up sadly, with tears in his eyes. He saw that Athos had finally stabbed Rachefort in the chest; Rachefort would finally join his brother. Athos quickly ran over to Emily. Blood was all over her shirt, and there were a few trails of blood leaving her mouth. Emily searched for her father's hand. Athos gripped her hand, "Father, I'm sorry, I just wanted to help you." Athos whispered to her, "You did help me, you saved my life. Don't you leave me now too. I love you so much, Emily." "I wanted to become a musketeer so much, just like you. I guess I never will now," she said, as she gagged on blood. Aramis got up and said to the King, "Wait! Your majesty, this girl saved your life. Her father is a musketeer. All she wants before she dies is to become a musketeer, would you?" "Of course it would be an honor," the King said as he approached Emily and knelt down beside her, and said, "This world is an uncertain realm filled with danger, honor undermined by the pursuit of power. Freedom sacrificed when the weak are opposed by the strong. But there are those who oppose these powerful forces, who dedicate their lives to truth, honor and freedom. These men are known as musketeers, you're a musketeer now Emily, join them." Athos felt a lessened grip on his hand, then Emily did not answer; Athos looked down at her and her eyes were dull and her spirit was gone. Athos felt tears trickle down his face; he looked down and said, "Emily, you're a musketeer, like you always wanted. You will never be forgotten." Athos sniffled and they all looked down. The four musketeers helped carry her out. She had achieved her dream; she was the first female musketeer, and most importantly a musketeer, just like her father.
