Snippet #2132520

Saria.

She cried out in pain for a brief second as someone twisted her hand so hard she dropped the knife. Anger crossed her face as someone new appeared from thin air. "You owe me one, Alex." Taking a step back Saria snarled at the girl as she disappeared again. "Friend of yours Dear brother?" She straitened her hair with one hand, regaining her composure and slowly walking backwards. I won't be denied my prize, not after so long! Saria thought and spun, hurling two daggers. One towards where the girl was standing second before, one directly towards her brother's throat.

Alex

Alex was taken back to a different time when Saria touched his face. A time when they were children, the whole village shunned him. Claiming he wasn't a legitimate heir, but his sister, his younger sister had always defended him. Stood up for him. Now, now things had changed so much. Pulling himself out of the past he knew she was reaching for a dagger, he was ready for it. Then was surprised when Elle appeared from thin air, she caught the dagger hand and twisted it so the dagger dropped. Jumping back she told him he owed her one and disappeared again. He was about to speak when his sister sent two knives out, he saw it coming. The way she was moving gave him the perfect chance to anticipate it. He stepped to the right, the dagger flew past, slicing through the cord that tied the horse to the carriage. Time seemed to crawl to a halt for Alex, he reacted swiftly running towards the carriage as it began rolling towards the pile of hay. He used it as a stepping stool and pushed off, hitting the wall and grabbing the torch from the sign. Pushing himself off the wall he threw the torch in mid air,it landed on the hay which instantly caught fire, Alex hit the ground on a roll. Right next to the horse. As he hopped on it the carriage hit the stack of burning hay, and the Tabasco soon caught fire, increasing the amount of smoke bellowing out by a massive amount. It obstructed vision and began burning Alex's eyes, he spurred the horse towards where he saw Elle, reaching down he was grateful to feel her arm. He grabbed her and threw her onto the horse. "Get ready to jump!" He called back to her as the horse neared the low balcony. He hoped it could support both there weights before falling. For this to work she had to trust him, he was using memory to calculate when they would be close enough. He maneuvered so that he was standing on the now galloping horse. "Now jump!" He yelled and jumped off the horse with his arms out, one hand caught the balcony luckily. He hoped Elle had jumped too, he had one hand hanging low for her to grasp if she did. The smoke was getting worse, Alex had no idea of where his sister was, but he could feel the balcony start to wobble.
