"We're fine but you're not." Isobel scolded him. "Sit down so I can take a look at your wound." She gave him her scary look.

William sighed, "Fine go without me, but if you get hurt, that'll be all your fault not mine." William walked away.

"Its fine." He pushed past her. All he wanted to do was find Claira and Victoria to make sure they were safe. She better be safe or he would lose it. "Claira?" He looked around but couldn't find her.
(I meant dead haha sorry, I fixed it.)

"I'll go find her. You sit down. Your wounds need to be treated." Isobel pushed him back to the seat. "I promise as soon as I find them I'll bring them to you so you can see they're perfectly fine and then they can scold you for getting injured."

His head hung low. Xavier knew that they were going to freak, he was a soldier. "This sucks." *What was he thinking? He could barely keep up with the low level guards, so what made him think he could keep up with Andion. He hoped that Andion got some help.

Claira stepped out of the shelter, into the hallway.

Xavier held his shoulder, there was already so much blood. "But he was going to move until he saw if Claira and Victoria were safe. "Hurry up Isobel." He mumbled under his breath.

"Sit your ass down now Xavier!" She pushed on his chest. "You're going to hurt yourself more. You're going to eventually collapse from blood loss and then what? What are you going to be able to do? Nothing. So sit down until you get medical treatment. I will go find them."

"Okay." He put his good arm up. Xavier was to tired to fight back at this point. "Just bring them back." He head was hurting and he couldn't see straight. Great.

"I will." She pressed her hand to his cheek briefly. "Try not to pass out while I'm gone." She dropped her hand. "Someone attend to Xavier quickly! If he's not stitched and bandaged by the time I'm back I'll have you all flogged!" She wouldn't but if it got them to move she didn't mind making them fear her. Isobel turned on her heels and quickly left in search of the missing Queen and Claira.

Claira, however, had been right around the corner. She stared at the part of Xavier's face Isobel had touched. She turned and an down the hallway, to the maid's quarters, where she hid in a giant fabric closet.

"This is taking to long." He stood pushing the people trying to help away. "I'll look myself." As soon as he stood up, he felt nauseous. He wasn't going to let that stop him. "Sir, Xavier you really should sit down." He narrowed his eyes at the man. "Leave me." He walked out of the room and down the hall. "Claira!" He called hoping she could hear him. Where is she? Binking his eyes he tried to get rid of the dizziness. "I'm going to keep calling till you come out." Xavier managed to smile.

She heard his voice and giggled. There was no way he would dare enter the maid's quarters, and the chance of Isobel doing so was also quite slim.

He clung to the wall for support, as he stumbled his way down the hall. "Claira, I know your not dumb enough to get yourself killed." He laughed, but it hurt when he did. "So, either you can't hear me or you're messing with me." Something in his stomach turned and he fell to his knees unable to stand any longer. "Isn't this just wonderful." Obviously no one was around to help him. Maybe he should have stayed when Isobel told him. Xavier was definitely going to get a lecture from her later, maybe even slapped. He never knew with her. Leaning against the wall he kept calling for Claira, his voice a bit more desperate then earlier.

Andion still hadn’t gotten help for his wounds. After they”d cleaned up the mess in the ballroom, he’d immediately summoned his guards, luckily, most were still alive only a few hadn’t been so lucky. They’d bury them later. He sent guards to patrol the outside, needing them to find where Mitri and his men had gotten in. Others he sent to retrieving the dead, helping with wounds, cleaning up and other jobs. He hissed at the pain going through him but kept moving refusing help.

Ruby wanted to go help. Where was Xavier? Claria? Victorie? She tossed her hair and held her head high at William.
"I'm going to help, and no one is going to stop me. I am a crusader in corsets." And with that, she shut the trapdoor behind her and ran as fast as she could up the dungeon stairs. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized there were no enemies around. She ran through the halls, calling the names of those she knew were missing. "Claira? Xavier?? VICTORIE??? VICTORIE??"

Elliot looked around at all the dead bodies

Ruby nearly ran into Elliot in the doorway of the ballroom. She clutched his arm. "Have you seen the queen? Her assistant, Claria, or her cousin, Xavier? Please, sir, if you have I need to know." Panic flickered on her face.

Claira heard a loud, slap-like noise. She darted out of the maid's quarters and into the hallway, where she found Xavier on the floor.

Xavier had been sweating and his breathing was slower than usual. All he want to do was sleep at this point. I should've listened to Isobel. He couldn't see anything and his wound was mostly dried but he lost a lot of blood and his shirt was sticking to it. "I'm sorry." He didn't know why he was apologizing or to whom, it kind of just came out.

Ruby nearly ran into Elliot in the doorway of the ballroom. She clutched his arm. "Have you seen the queen? Her assistant, Claria, or her cousin, Xavier? Please, sir, if you have I need to know." Panic flickered on her face.

“The queen is safe. Xavier is looking for Claria.” He told her. Then walking her over to a chair, he sat her down “sit down and catch your breath first. You won’t be of any help if you cannot even breath”

Isobel rushed back to the ballroom and snarled when she saw that Xavier was gone. "I'm going to wring his neck." She muttered to herself. "Has anyone seen Xavier?!" She yelled.

Ruby shook her head and ran through the corridors. She heard a scream from around the corner, and ran. There was Xavier, lying limply on the ground, Claria kneeling beside him. She let of a squeak and rushed over.
"Where is his wound? Claria, send for a medic."

"Don't tell me what to do!" she snapped. "Why don't you get a medic, Ruby?"

Ruby sighed. "Claria, I don't want to have an argument right now. I really don't. Queens are trained in minor medicals." She tore off a bit of her dress's hem and tied it securely around Xavier's shoulder. She helped him stand when he insisted, saying that he should keep his shoulder elevated but not move it too much. "Now I will send for a medic. You can stay with him, but…you do have some sort of weapon, correct?" She pulled out her own sewing scissors. "Just in case."
