1x1 Silent Symphony & Of the Falls

[Falls]

Arian let out one last frenzied gurgle before death took him, stilling his movements and forever quieting him. The blood shone bright against his pale skin as it spilled over him and onto the ground below him.

[Veins Of Opal]

The blood stained Lucien's hands as he stood, hurrying over to Sigma. He cursed as he scooped her up into his arms, whistling for Shadowmere. The mare quickly trotted over, stopping for him to mount. He kicked the mare into a gallop, towards the Fort. He would just make Vicente stand outside or something while he worked.

[Falls]

Sigma couldn't comprehend her surroundings, but she did know that whatever was holding her was quite comfortable. She took comfort in that fact as she closed her eyes, hanging limply in Lucien's grip. Blood flowed in generous portions from her right leg and left side, soaking her clothes with the crimson liquid.

[Veins Of Opal]

"Open your eyes, damnit." Lucien hissed to her as Shadowmere made a turn, her hooves pounding against the soil. Hell, if Sithis existed, which Lucien certainly had his doubts, then he'd have to await the "Wrath of Sithis" for killing a Brotherhood member. Or maybe Sithis thought Lucien had done a favor in killing the pathetic man. They quickly mafe it to the hollowed-out tree, and Lucien swung his leg over, hopping off the Mare as he held Sigma bridal-style.

[Falls]

Sigma's heart made an excited little skip at the sound of the familiar voice. She recognized it from somewhere and she made a small noise in the back of her throat in response, but she did not open her eyes. She didn't understand the words the voice had formed, but maybe a gibberish conversation would work just as well.

[Veins Of Opal]

"I didn't betray my Brotherhood for you to die on me, Sigma. Stay awake." he growled as he kicked the hatch open with his foot, the steel clattering loudly as it strained against it's hinges. He glanced down the hole, simply hopping in instead of using the ladder. He grunted, the cut on his jaw and neck stinging a little as he looked up to see a wide eyed Vampire staring. "Get out so you don't lose your wits." Lucien hissed as he set Sigma down on the chair. Vicente stayed in the chair a moment, his eyes on the crimson that stained Sigma's clothes, until another prodding growl from Lucien sent him scrambling to his room. He certainly couldn't go outside, it was still daytime.

Lucien pulled out a suture, as well as the thread for stitching. He quickly yanked out bandages and ointment, rushing over to Sigma's body to begin working.

[Falls]

Another stern few words from the voice and Sigma put a name to the sound: Lucien. She suddenly had more than enough reason to try to stay awake. She breathed in deep and opened her eyelids halfway, looking for his face. The sudden return to conciousness had its drawbacks though. The numbness faded and Sigma was met full on by a horrible pain in her thigh and torso. She gasped, taking in halting, rattling breaths. "L-Lucien..." She grimaced, gritting her teeth against the pain and searching for him in her blurred field of vision.

Lucien quickly ran into the kitchen, kicking off his shoes as he grabbed a rag, holding it under the cool stream of water. He hurried back to the living room, kneeling down in front of Sigma. He gently slapped her cheek, trying to get her to wake up. "Yes, I'm here." he said when she spoke his name weakly, lifting the pant leg, grimacing at the deep wound on her thigh. he quickly dabbed away the blood with the wet rag, then used his suture and thread, sewing the torn flesh back together. Once it was sewed, he put the ointment on the bandage, and laid it down and secured it over the injury.

He moved to her torso, where larger splotches of blood were appearing. He lifted her shirt enough so that he could see the injury, and he gave a growl. He gently reached forward, trying to pry the skin enough to see how deep the knife had made it. He certainly hoped it hadn't punctured a lung. That'd be horribly dreadful to do to Sigma without anesthesia.

[Falls]

[hmmm... Not sure if i should make the damage minimal or if she should have a punctured lung...]
Sigma grunted at the fleeting pain of a slap to her cheek, relaxing when she heard Lucien's voice again. She, like Adrian, was not quiet in her suffering, crying out when Lucien began to work on her leg. A fresh stream of tears spilled out of her eyes and she sobbed raspily.

A faint voice in the back of her head said she should be bothered that Lucien was lifting up her shirt, but something about the excruciating pain in her torso made her figure it was neccessary. Her hand flew up, grabbing at Lucien's wrist when he began to lift at the skin. "Agh! Lucien!" Her protest was suddenly cut off by coughs that shook her body and produced crimson liquid from her throat. Her lung had been punctured after all.
[mwahahahahaaaa...]

[Veins Of Opal]

((Weell, crap. Poor Sigma's gonna suffer a bit. Time for surgery! Conducted by a psychotic assassin. XD ))

"Move your hand unless you want to choke to death." Lucien growled, swatting her hand away. He sighed as he took the suture's sharp edge, slitting the skin open a little bit more, large enough to see the hole in the lung. The organ fluttered as Sigma tried to breath, her blood almost seeming like it was trying to choke her. He reached his hand forward and began to stitch up the torn tissue of the lung, noting that by her cries of pain that it was in fact, excruciating.

He'd tortured people and had them to tears and begging to death at this point. Though, he was trying to save her life. Once he had the lung stitched, her moved to stitching up the torn skin. Lucien, being the skilled Assassin that he was, knew how to easily shred skin. And in that, he knew how to repair it.
