"NO!" Ruby screamed as she saw some kind of spell hit Victor square in the chest.
She immediately ran over to him and he was groaning in pain. She just about managed to pick him up.
"Come on, Victor, we've got to get you to the hospital."
"No." He croaked.
"Victor, this is no time to be heroic!"
He managed a smile. "They won't help me there."
She nodded and took him to the only place she could think of; the bed and breakfast. She broke into the nearest room, no one was going to be using it any time soon, and placed Victor on the bed.
"I have to do something, I have to help you." Tears were streaming down her face as she watched her loved one dying in front of her.
An idea popped into her head. "The blue fairy! She can help us! Please, Victor, I have to try."
He nodded in agreement and just as she was about to leave, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her in closer.
"If this doesn't work, know that I love you."
She smiled through her tears. "I love you too."
