Stunned by the slap, Sorcha falls backwards towards the ground. Worried about the girl, Saige had jumped out of the car and ran towards the Princess, catching her in time, before she could hit the ground. Saige helped Sorcha regain her balance, in which, the girl in turn clutched Saige's arm. What had just happened? She'd been slapped, by her own brother! She should be hurt and angry, but she wasn't; well, maybe angry, but not towards him. Her anger was pointed at the League, Valius in particular.
As the events unfolded before her, Sorcha could do nothing but stand and watch. Her eyes were wide as Elliot was killed and then Taran knocked out by his own gun, both caused by Scythe. She then watched as her brother, Keegan, jumped out of his car, sword in hand. He looked angry as well and about ready to murder someone; Scythe being the target. She wasn't quite sure about the League member yet and would have continued to stand by, but when Keegan threw Reicha into the car, Sorcha decided that she'd had enough.
Just when Keegan grabbed Reicha's throat, Sorcha pulled away from Saige and yelled, "Stop!" her small voice carrying above the group, followed by a whoosh of warmth. Everyone, including the ones innocently standing by, stood frozen to the ground. She'd summoned the power of the Great Wolf again, paralyzing everybody. Taking in a deep breath, she walks over to Keegan and Reicha, unwraps her brother's fingers from around the bounty hunter's throat, then takes away Keegan's sword. Holding onto it, she takes Reicha's arm and gently pulls her away, allowing the paralysis it desist for only her, Masaharu, Saige, and Corissa; Keegan and Scythe remained as they were. Satisfied everything was quiet now, Sorcha places her hands on her hips and looks around at everyone.
"Now... That that's settled; let's move on." She walks over to where Taran lay and knelt down on the ground, placing his head in her lap to examine his head. He had a little bump on his temple, but no serious harm was done. Anger boiled in her, though, and her eyes quickly flashed towards Scythe. He was able to hear her as she spoke. "You should not be here, League filth! You have hurt my family for too long and it stops now. When we return to Concordia, you-- along with the other League members-- will be executed!"
Corissa, hearing this, stepped forward all of a sudden, moving in front of Scythe. She didn't like what the Princess had said. "Your Highness! Please, forgive him. He saved your brother!"
Turning her eyes to gaze at Corissa, they narrow slightly and suspiciously as she answers in a soft voice, "And who might you be? His slave? Explain yourself."
"Yes, er... I was. He released me." Corissa took a few more steps towards the Princess. "I was commanded by Scythe to watch over Taran; I was to make sure you didn't find him or wait for anything suspicious to happen on his part. When Scythe arrived, announcing you'd escaped the castle, Vann came not too long after. He would have killed Taran if it hadn't have been for myself and Scythe. Taran would be dead by now." Crossing her arms, Corissa could feel the tears running down her cheeks. Her emotions were so strong, especially the ones she felt for Scythe. Her eyes were looking straight into Sorcha's, pleading silently. "Please, don't kill him."
Listening to the former slave, Sorcha felt herself softening. She could see the truth in the woman's eyes. Sighing softly, Sorcha looks down at her unconscious brother before looking back up to Corissa and Scythe. "I will think upon it. For now, you both are to remain with us. We will see just how much of a League member he is not." Turning to look at Keegan, she allows her brother to be free of the paralysis, as well as Scythe. "Brother, you will not fight him. As future Queen of Concordia and your sister, you will obey me." Though soft, her voice was very commanding. She turned back to Scythe then and he soon felt himself shackled by an invisible chain; his neck weighed heavily by an invisible collar. She'd once again used the Great Wolf's power. "And you, you will assist us in finding Vann and Markell, preferably before either of them meet." Eying the group, she dared any of them to defy her.
