The hunt for William was on. Alexa and Melody headed to the marketplace, while Ingo and Sonja checked the pub to see if William was there. Melody bought a dress for Alexa, then left her alone to go flirt with some boy. One of my characters, Darius' brother Liam, met Alexa in town. Meanwhile, at the Raven's Nest...

She careened around a bend and saw the Raven's Nest, door wide open, but no noise coming from inside. She slowed, took a few seconds to get her breath back, then stepped through the door with a smile. "Hullo, Darius," she said, not waiting for him to reply. He would probably be in the back, next to the forge. That's why there was nobody here. The girl strode through the shop, glad that she had made it in time, before anyone else got there. "I thought, maybe-" what she saw in the forge room made her heart skip a beat, then stop with dread. William was standing in the middle of the room, tying Darius's hands behind his back and leaning him against the wall. The black-haired young man was either dead or unconscious. "What did you do to him?!" screeched Sonja, violet eyes flashing red. She was no longer the kind, rebellious girl who had stood outside- now she was a bloodthirsty swordmaster. The Sabre. William drew a gun on her, eyes wide and quite insane. "Stay back!" he yelled. "Or I swear, I'll shoot!" He didnt have the presence of mind to point the gun at Darius, so The Sabre charged him. She was slicing with her sword before she even got to William, and the man was forced to drop his gun to defend himself with his own sword. The Sabre kicked the gun across the room, then slashed at William. It took him across the chest, and now he was bleeding heavily, a crimson stain spreading across his shirt. He fell to the ground and rolled a bit, appearing to be dead. But then he twitched, and Sonja took a quick step forwards, rasing her sword to behead him. Wiliam flipped over, lightning fast, and there was a loud blast and the smell of gunpowder filled the air. Sonja gasped, sword dropping from her hands as she fell to her knees, hands clasped to her side. "You- you shot me," she choked, then toppled over and lay still. William laughed harshly, but his merriment soon turned to a wet gurgle and he, too, lay still, dead as a stone.
Liam and Alexa heard gunshots, so they went to investigate. Now, Alexa, Ingo, Darius (who's conscious now) and Sonja are at the Raven's Nest with a woman named Dr. Clemmens, who fixed Sonja up after removing the bullets.

Sonja was laughing now, and crying, and as she hugged Darius tightly she knew that she had done the right thing in killing William. If she hadn't, he most certainly would have killed her. She reflected on this for a brief moment, but then Darius' lips found hers and she was swept away by his kiss.
