Saya cuts off all her hair like a boys and bandages her chest from protruding. "Time to see if it works."

Arowin yelped out as Sam grabbed her wrist and snapped it. She fell to the ground and blacked out for a second as the pain hit her from her wrist. She woke up to see Sam going after Chris. She felt sick at the thought of Chris being hurt again. She stumbled to her feet and hurried towards Chris.

Rebecca shouted out in surprise and slight fear. She quickly hide her fear and tried to calm her mare but it was too late. Same had already caught up with them. "I'm sorry." she whispered to Stephan.

Chris turned his head to see Arowin following him. He noticed Sam had rounded away and was heading for the Prince and Rebecca. This gave him time to reach Arowin and pant out, "Are you alright? He-he took my weapons away. The sword you gave me. It's gone." He hid his sadness as soon as he realized that the Prince and Rebecca were struggling with Rebecca's excited horse. He yelled out and left Arowin's side, barreling towards them and Sam.

Sam's eyes narrowed. Quite enough playing around. He was here to get his prize, and only that. He leaped clear over the horse's back, an amazing move, but tiredness was catching up with him. He bent towards the Prince, using his knife to try and cleanly snap the chain between the girl and the Prince. The girl would be fun to mess with, but he was not that kind of man, and so he decided to take only what was rightfully his. The Prince shouted angry words in his face and kicked him hard in the stomach right after he broke the chain. Sam doubled over, stumbling backwards, gagging in air. His brief hesitation was enough for Chris to reach them and to grab Sam's knife. The two of them tussled for the weapon, wrestling on the ground, locked in close combat, neither with the upper hand. Chris was stronger and weighed more. Sam was quicker and sure in his movements. They were matched, for now, at least.

Stephan smiled when he felt his book connect with the hard but unprotected flesh of Sam's gut. He dropped from the horse, calmer now, and untangled himself from Rebecca, now able to due to the creepy man's knife skills. He held on to Rebecca's hand for a moment before he resumed the battle. "No, Rebecca, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have allowed you to try this-" he indicated the broken pair of cuffs-"when I knew it was risky. Thank you for protecting me." He met her gaze a long moment and then returned to Chris's side. Soon he realized the two men were so entangled he had no chance of harming just one, and ran to Arowin to help her along to the rest of them, forgetting temporarily they were on opposite sides. "What happened?" he asked, seeing her bent arm.

Chris wrapped his fingers around Sam's neck and squeezed, trying to strangle him. This let Sam retrieve the knife and take a poorly aimed slash at Chris, which ripped his already torn shirt but did not break his skin. Chris knew he now had control over his opponent. He put all his muscle into crushing Sam's air passageways.

Sam's eyes bulged and he gasped for air. He was loosing and he knew it. Time for plan B. Vision blurring, Sam went limp and rolled his eyes back in his head. Surprised, thinking he was dead, Chris loosened his grip and Sam shoved him off of him, only half succeeding. By now Chris knew he had been tricked and felt the pulse of Sam's heart, and resumed killing him slowly. Sam struggled a moment more and gave up. "WAIT!" he croaked. "I surrender. Let me go. Please-" Chris let go but remained crouched in a defensive position. Sam sucked in air and bent over coughing into the dirt. He fought back an urge to throw up and took a moment regaining his breath. He was outnumbered. He had lost. Shame swept through him. He had been so close... "What to we have that makes us enemies?" he asked breathlessly, cringing as he realized the answer to his own words. "I mean... we're on the same side. We both want the same thing, right? To fight the King? Why are you protecting the Prince? I just-pant, pant- want to know. Why are we fighting over this, wasting our energy?" He was pleading, begging for another chance at life. His words, as always, were effective. Chris had a blank look of curiosity that temporarily replaced fury. Prince Stephan took a step back, looking both horrified and agreeing, and shot a look at the girl he had been chained to.

Emerald sighed and looked back at the way the others had went. They should have been back by now and Emerald was getting worried. Envy, sensing her nerves, pranced underneath her and tossed his head. Emerald looked over at Frank. "I'm going to find Chris and Arrowin. You can come if you want, but Guy will probably be looking for you." she said and turned Envy around. She looked back at Frank, her emerald eyes a mixture of so many emotions it was hard to tell which one she was feeling the most, but the rest of her face otherwise indifferent. "Good luck." she said softly and kicked Envy into a gallop, following the tracks.

Arowin's fury doubled. She ignored the prince and went straight after Sam. She slapped him hard through the face leaving a lovely blood red mark across his face. "You were the one to make an enemy out of The Hood." she said, her anger dripped with every word she said. Her eyes blazed as she thought of killing the man who had harmed Chris but instead she shot Chris a glance, he was in not to great shape and the sooner this was over with the better. Arowin drew her dagger and snatched up Sam's which was now lying on the floor. "Start walking." she said her eyes looking into the distance indicating where he should go. She motioned for Rebecca to take the prince in the other direction. Arowin drew closer to Chris, comforted by his meat presence.

Rebecca was too shocked to reply to the prince. Everything was happening too fast for her. She was normally a gentle and quite girl and this was just scaring her. She dismounted from Lara and lead the chestnut mare to the prince once Arowin had stepped forward. She motioned for them to go. "

Frank nodded "Ill stay, lead Guy and the others off your trail" he answered with a weak smile. He half- heartadly saluted before spinning Diad back the other way, listening to the soft thuds of Envys hoofbeats disapeer behind him. He did not look back. After about half an hour, Frank was nearing the main trails used by the knights, a well was nearby and if it had not frozen over he might be able to quench his thirst and possibly clear his thoughts to think of a plan to get rid of Guy.
