Evalyn ripped the letter in half, crying. She found her sword on her beside table and stabbed the letter. She set it aside, burying her head in her pillow. How could Will do this to her? And how could Alyss do this to her?! Evalyn sheathed her saber and stormed out of her room. The guards saluted her as she walked past. Evalyn slammed her fist into the Alyss' door. "Who is it?" Alyss asked.

Evalyn bit her lip and muttered, "Evalyn."

After a small pause the door swung open and Alyss frowned at Evalyn, "Yes?" She asked with some hostility.

"Is Will in there?" Evalyn asked fury mounting.

"Yes." Alyss said her teeth clenched.

"Can I come in?"

"Of course, your highness." Alyss said icily.

Alyss stepped aside so Evalyn could come in. Will stared helplessly at the two of them with his big brown puppy dog eyes, almost pleading for this to be over. Evalyn glared at Alyss, "How could you?"

"How could I what, Cassandra?"

Evalyn stiffened more if that was possible, "Evalyn is fine."

Alyss asked again, "What have I done Cassandra?"

"You...you... stole Will from me!"

Will's mouth hung open in shock. Alyss glared at Evalyn, "I didn't take him from you. He chose me."

Evalyn shrieked in anger, "You liar!"

Evalyn drew her sword and swung at Alyss. It opened a cut on her forearm. Alyss drew her sword and swiped at Evalyn. It cut into her leg before she could stop it. Will rushed between them, "In the name of god, stop!"

Evalyn hacked at Alyss. Will tried to intercept it, and was hit with the flat of her blade. He crumpled to the ground in heap. Evalyn gasped. Alyss yelled in fury, stabbing at Evalyn. Evalyn's eyes went wide with fear as Alyss' sword swung towards her. It connected with her shoulder and dug deep. Evalyn fell to the ground and Alyss gaped in horror at what she had done. Alyss bolted off to get help, screaming as Evalyn bled out on the floor with Will laying next to her unconscious.
