An arrow shot towards Alexis and Tristen, breaking their kiss. Both stumbled back, surprised as an angel landed in front of them, a sword was drawn and ready for attack. Behind him stood three other angels with swords and there were two in the sky with bows, who must have been the ones to shoot. The one in the lead had shaggy blond hair and hazel eyes. He wore golden armor that shone from the sunlight. "It's so great to finally meet you, Alexis. I have heard so much about you." He smirked raising his sword. Alexis drew out her sword, ready to fight until Tristen pulled her behind him.

"Stay out of the way, I got this." He muttered to her.

"There are too many. There is no way you can fight them on your own." She argued back before stepping beside him.

"I can't fight them and protect you at the same time now stay back." He growled at her, quickly getting annoyed. Alexis wasn't able to continue arguing with him, for he had already started fighting. She felt useless just standing in the back, watching and doing nothing. Feeling rebellious, she decides she is still going to try and help. It's not like she can't-do anything. Noticing the two in the sky about to shoot Tristen, Alexis grabs a few stones and throws them, gaining their attention. Tristen was too busy focusing on the ones on the ground to realize Alexis was after the ones in the sky.

She blocked the first few arrows shot her way, boosting her confidence until she remembered what Oramis had said in one of their lessons. 'If you get too overconfident, you'll get yourself killed. Try to remain calm and focused when in battle.' She sighed, trying to calm down the excitement bubbling up inside of her. Her left cheek started stinging, confusing her until she realized it was because of an arrow. It was best if she ran deeper into the forest since, with where they are at, there is an opening to the sky, giving the enemies in the sky an advantage. But what if they ended going back to trying to kill Tristen? She couldn't risk it. They were bound to run out of arrows at one point, so it would probably be best to continue dodging and keeping them focused on her until that time comes. Between using her sword to block the arrows and moving out of the way at the last minute, she couldn't help but realize how much more athletic she had become.

An odd aroma started to fill the air, causing her throat to feel as though it was on fire and her mouth to water. She paused and the angels in the sky took advantage of this, shooting arrows that would have surely hit their mark if it wasn't for someone intervening. "Oramis?" Alexis questioned. The elf was in front of her, holding the arrows shot her way. He looked down at her then back up at the two, sword in hand.

"Stay down." He whispered. This time, she listened. He jumped up, dodging the arrows that were now directed towards him and cut down the two. Landing gracefully, he headed towards the others that Tristen was fighting. Alexis watched as the both of them fought side by side. It looked as though they knew what each other was thinking. A small smile spread on her lips at the sight. For once, it seemed like they were getting along. Her little happy moment was shoot shattered as Tristen's blood splattered across the forest floor, turning the ground red. She tried to get up but her legs were rooted to the ground, leaving her unable to move. A sword was stabbed through his shoulder by the leader of the attack. Luckily before he could try another attack on the fallen angel, Oramis stepped in.

The shaggy blonde looked between the three. He clicked his tongue as he flew away, knowing he could not take the elf alone. Oramis didn't bother trying to go after him, which angered Alexis. "You're going to let him get away!?" She yelled, still trying to get up but to no avail. Oramis ignored her and looked at Tristen.

"What happened? What were you two doing away from us?" He asked angrily.

Tristen smirked, holding his shoulder tightly. "Wouldn't you love to know? Why don't you take a wild guess as to why we were alone together."

Oramis had him pinned to a tree, sword at his throat. "The only reason why I haven't killed you was that of Alexis but if you hurt her I will not hesitate to cut you down."

"Oramis stop!" Alexis yelled, gaining his attention. "He didn't do anything bad to me." He throat stopped burning and she was able to move once again, but she was light headed. She grabbed Oramis' arm. "Let him go. Can't you see he's hurt?"

He was annoyed at the whole situation but nonetheless, let go. He sheathed his sword and started walking away. "Come on. We will bandage him up but then we are heading out." Alexis sighed and looked back at Tristen with a small smile before following behind Oramis, staying as close to the fallen angel as possible. Upon making it back to the horses she was hugged by Hannah who was asking many questions which Alexis just shrugged off.

She sat down next to Tristen as he began taking off his shirt so she could help clean his wound and bandage it. "I'm sorry this happened." She dabbed away the blood with a wet rag, thankful that it had stopped bleeding.

"Why are you apologizing?" He asked.

She shrugged. "I guess I kinda feel like this whole thing is my fault. If I am with you guys, we get attacked." She looked into his eyes. He chuckled, confusing her. "What did I say that was so funny?"

"Your logic is so weird. I wouldn't have come along if I didn't know that we were going to be attacked. There are many after you, and more want you dead." He answered. Alexis finished bandaging his arm and shoulder, not bothering to say nor ask anything else.
