ANNA:

My ankle got hit by that bullet what that freak jus shot. I wondered whether those things were alright.

A: What's with the things? Are they alright?

P: oh no ... they are gone.

They are gone like really they were stolen in front of two people. How can he say and how can he be so irresponsible? After all he was the one who seized all those treasures from the museum with his so called right _/\_.  I was so frustrated with the words he spoke. Such an irresponsible guy.

A: oh crap... I've come all the way to get those things back. You couldn't take care of items; I wonder how you can even manage to rule your own kingdom.

P: alright I admit it was my carelessness, but he shot you. Why should you do all the heroic tactics? Don't you care about your life?

A: yea like life has always offered the best of all.

P: tell me why?

A: cos I don't want to be blamed for 'THE MURDER OF THE ROYAL DOUCHEBAG'

He took a handkerchief and a cloth and wrapped it around my leg where the bullet got struck.

P: "here have it"

A: oh please. I can take myself alright

P: shut up and have it

A: alright!

P: I am going in search of those criminals, stay here.

A: I am coming with you

P: no stay back

A: like I would... look there's not much time for arguments. If we got to get those things back, we have to work together.

P: let's see.

I tried getting up but the injury was so painful. He gave me a hand. I thought of refusing it at first but seeing his generosity I gave in. I was hobbling and we reached the spot where they were having those treasures.

GL: Ahh ! finally the royal treasures are here

G1: what are you gonna do with it?

G2 : I know... like every other treasure, this is going to afghan and we'll be getting armaments in return.

P: they are gonna sell it

A:  ... And get armaments in return!!! I've gotta stop them.

P: wait, don't jump so fast. We've got to devise a plan to stop them from doing these.

A: but we don't have time to devise plan and execute them. Before it gets too late, I am going behind them, even if it costs my life.

GL: dealing with those people out there, especially the prince and that girl was difficult.

G2: and I've shot the bullet to keep them away.

G1: but they are gonna come here any moment.

GL: they would of course (smirks) little do they know their prized possessions are with me and they're not the treasures

A: Prized possessions?

P: what could it be?

As we try to peep into the conversation, we didn't know that there was a branch and Philip's feet fell on that and that alerted the goons.

GL: you think you're smart huh... you're wrong ... I know you'd come here for sure and so for you let me show you something that you know.

He brings out two people who were chained to the chairs. They caught hold of Ivan and a girl who resembled Philip somewhere...

A: Ivan!

P: Ophelia!!! How dare you bring my sister here?

Sister? He has a sister like I have and he's so protective of her.

GL: now, now.... If you wanna see them alive, surrender yourself

O: don't do it brother!

I: Anna don't listen to them

P: I guess we don't have a choice

I called him to the side and said him not to be such a fool in surrendering to the clumsy goons. Thankfully I had my bag with me which always had a hockey stick and a shovel. He kind of agreed to my plan

A: alright take it all.

GL: now that's how you should behave

The goon2 tried coming towards me and decided to take whatever I had. And it's time we thought of putting our plan into action.

P: NOW!

A: ATTACCCKKK!!!

I took the hockey stick and he took the shovel and began to beat the goons black and blue and went to free Ophelia and Ivan from those chains. Philip came to us and Ophelia hugged him tight.

I: what's with your leg Anna?

A: just a minor injury.

O: Ryan should be worried about me. Let's go home brother.

P: before we go, there's something I need to do.

A: what is it?

P: the stone of that box, you can have it.

I: really?

A: tell me you're kidding. This can't be happening.

P: take it. I've realized that the treasures of kingdom aren't as important as lives of people. I'd have almost lost my sister if it wasn't for you.

A: wow, that's okay.

We were sort of having a meaningful conversation and it was going all good until, one of the gangsters, was about to attack either of Ophelia or Philip.

A: WATCH OUT!!!

Without any second thought I pushed Ophelia aside and the bullet hit my shoulder and I fell to the ground.

PHILIP:

That girl, without thinking has sacrificed her life for my sake twice. Who'd do that? ophey and Ivan went to her. She was bleeding profusely and I couldn't stand there .

"Anna wake up, wake up!!!"

I: let's take her to the hospital.

Ophelia took the car and we drove her to the hospital. The staff took the stretcher out and we made her lay in there.

The doctors were examining her and we informed this to Ursula- who was Ivan and Anna's best friend and co worker and Reggie- Anna's brother in law.

After about an hour, the doctors came out and she was out of danger. A sense of relief was there in everyone's face particularly mine. Seeing me relieved, Ophelia came to me.

O: bro,

P: yea

O: you okay?

P: I am. Why do u ask?

O: I thought you were worried for Anna

P: she's alright and that's okay for me.

O: trust me, your face and your voice both mean different.

P: what do you mean?

O: she sacrificed her life to save us and when the doctors said that she was okay, I could see the happiness in your face and now your voice says you are indifferent to her.

P: she's retard. I mean who does that, there are other ways to save people's life. Such a weirdo

O: woah I never seen you grumbling about people like that!! trust me bro she's super cool

Maybe ophy can be right, but that should not let me jump to conclusions. She's still a stranger. I was standing in the corner and it was the end of the day.
