Chapter 13
Avelyn arrived to the castle with Doctor Savannah Henderson and her nurse in tow. When the doctor saw Castiel, she immediately bent down and got to work. Demina stood and hesitantly let them work on him. She stood by Avelyn, tightly clutching her hand, and watched them fix up Castiel. He was still unconscious and deathly pale.
"Is-is he going to be okay?" Demi asked.
"I don't know. The wound is deep but it shouldn't be fatal. He has lost a lot of blood though. We just have to make sure that no infection sets in. Keep the wound clean."
Suddenly, a huge black shadow fell over them.
"DRAX!!!!!"
Demi and Avelyn both jumped at the guards cry. The bell in the tower tolled six times and their eyes widened. That cry hadn't been uttered in years. Guards came rushing to the two of them.
"We have to get you inside, m'lady!"
Avelyn, Demi, and the others ducked as the dragon swooped over them.
"Take them first!" Avelyn shouted over Drax's roar.
"But my lady...-"
"That is an order!"
"Princess Avelyn, it isn't a good idea to move him right now. Jarring him in any way could reopen his wound."
"If we don't get him inside, then we'll all die," Demi responded.
"Get him inside! Do not worry about us!" Avelyn commanded. The guard nodded and did as she commanded. Avelyn and Demi turned and headed towards the guardhouse. The guardhouse was full of weapons and artillery.
"Avelyn, you should go back inside. Let the soldiers and I handle this."
"Why?"
"Because...what if something happens to you? Impreza needs its ruler."
Avelyn stayed quiet, thinking about but finally nodded. Demina guarded her as she made her way inside. After making sure, Avelyn was safe, Demina ran to the gate, climbing on top of the castle wall.
