My Dear Commander

Caught

A few weeks had passed since the four had set camp in a cave. They had planned an assault on the first red templar camp. After gathering their weapons and putting out the fire, the marched out of the cave and in the direction of the camp. Bull often stopped to swing his hammer, shattering the red lyrium crystals that stuck out through rocks and the ground. It was small progress which would go a long way.

They neared the top of a hill and Lavellen knelt down. She scoped the camp, counting how many red templars and abominations there were. She directed Dorian and Bull to take each side so she can Cullen can attack at front, to which they obeyed. They all got into their positions, awaiting the signal to attack. Lavellen and Cullen charged into the camp, attacking the red templars. Bull followed soon after. They fought hard and eventually killed everyone at camp. Cullen went into the commander's tent and looked through the stuff. Lavellen kept on guard.

Bull soon ran up to her, fear and anger in his eyes, "I think they got Dorian!"

"Fuck, how!?"

Cullen ran out of the tent with some papers, joining the two, "Where is he?"

"Those bastards got him we think." She replied.

"Shit! How did they know?"

The three ventured to where Dorian was supposed to be and saw some disturbed snow. They followed a trail, which shortly disappeared. Bull punched a tree, rattling the leaves which caused the snow to fall all over him. He growled, angrily wiping the snow off of him.

"I'm going to find him!"

"You can't go in there by yourself, who knows what they'll do to you!?" She yelled, grabbing his arm.

Bull pushed her over then stormed off. Cullen helped her up and she cried in his arms. He comforted her, stroking her hair lovingly.

"Come, let's get back to camp.. we have some of their plans which will help us."

She nodded and they headed back to camp.

Time pass

Bull's anger burned throughout him as he marched his way to a broken castle. There were many red templars there. He found a way in then started to slaughter everyone in sight, yelling and screaming.

"Give me back my lover!" He screamed, slamming his hammer into the templar's heads and crushing them. The blood splattered all over him as he continued to kill so many templars. Suddenly an arrow went through his shoulder, causing him to grunt in pain. He turned around and saw a massive almost pure red lyrium monster, who had a massive arm. The monster hit Bull onto the ground and some red templars ran over to restrain him. He fought hard but was eventually knocked out by the monster...

Time pass

Cullen paced nervously. It had been a few days with no sign of the pair of them. Eventually Cullen grabbed his sword.

"We have to try to save them. Sitting here will do nothing."

"We'll die! We must wait for the others!"

"What if they didn't get word? What if they're dead too! I can't just sit here knowing I could've saved them..." he sighed.

He quickly took off, leaving her behind. She sobbed quietly, alone and broken. She didn't want him to die but feared that he would. She had lost hope of everything and wished that she could end her life. She couldn't bear to live without Cullen. She suddenly had an idea and started to go through some of Dorian's books that he liked to keep...

Time pass

Cullen neared the castle, spotting many red templars patrolling. He took a deep breath, looking at his wedding ring. He regretted leaving but he was so close to freeing Bull and Dorian and coming back to her. He kissed the ring like it was his lucky charm then headed down the hill. He kept low and quiet, hiding behind anything he could find. He slowly made his way through a crack and headed down the stairs, nervous. He wanted to make her proud, to be a hero that he'd always wanted to be, to prove that he wasn't worthless.

He found some cages with some prisoners. They were being affected by red lyrium that grew out of the walls. Some groaned as others held their heads in their hands. Their eyes red as they became madder and madder. He saw no sign of Bull and Dorian, making him feel a little angry. They can't be dead he said to himself quietly before exploring the rooms. He found a key and took it, ready go break some prisoners free until bang. Cullen felt a strong pain at the back of his head, causing him to collapse. A red templar commander stood behind him and took the key away.

"Someone's been stupid enough to come by themselves, huh?"

"Go.. fuck yourself...!"

Cullen tried to get up but everything went black.
