If only you knew (nyo face fam!)

Chapter seven

"FRANCIS!!!" I yelled. I doubt they would hear me all the way here. I pulled Maddie and Amelia beside each other and started crying. "What on earth happened to the two of you" I cried. Their heads had bad injuries. Dry blood was on Maddie as if it happened not long ago. Amelia has a bandage wrappers around her forehead that looked old. I wonder who those men were. "ALICE?!" I heard a call and I turned around to see who. "I am over here!!" I called.  The lights got closer from every second I waited with the girls.

"Please be okay" I kissed their foreheads. "Alice!!! The girls!" Francis was finally in sight, along with my brothers and servants. They had all cane, thank goodness. Francis feel to his knees seeing me protecting their heads. "They are hurt we need to get them home" the servants ran to them and the men carried them. "Please be careful with them" I begged. I watched them carry the girls away. "Come in let's go" Francis said pulling me up. "Owwww owww that hurts" I looked down to the source of the pain. I had a bad cut on my leg. There was blood everywhere.

" oh my god, are you okay?" Francis lifted me up in his arms and held me close to him. "I fell down" I laughed nervously. "It is okay, as long as you are safe now" he smiled at me. He walked faster to catch up to everyone else. "Mr.France, the head injuries look really bad." Liz came up to us as we all tried walking out of the woods. "I saw three men with them. I have no idea who they were but I saw something on them. The pins....I can't remember what they looked like"

"Don't stress, we will figure it out" Francis said seriously. I nodded towards him and felt Francis arm getting soaked with my blood. I was getting a bit dizzy, but the adrenaline was keeping me from passing out. I looked at Francis who was serious. He was walking as fast as he could. "We are almost out of the woods Alice, you are going to be okay" he said reassuringly. I looked around and noticed he had been running. How far in the woods were we? I looked straight ahead seeing Madeline and Amelia being carried out safely.
"I am glad they are safe"

Francis looked down to me and he started to shake me. "Don't sleep yet, we are almost there" he smiled. I had finally saw the night sky show from out of the woods. Everyone was rushing to the house. "Guys! She is losing a lot of blood, we need to stitch her up" Francis said in a faint tone. I felt kind of confused, "the pin, it had yankees written on them" I looked up to Francis. Yankees were the nicknames that were given to the rebellion citizens before the war. Francis looked at me concerned but ran into the house.

There was yelling in the background but I really could not understand clearly. Before I knew it, Francis set me down on a table and started to shake me. I looked over at him slowly and could not understand what he was trying to tell me. Turning my head away from him I could see Amelia and Madeline unconscious on the sofa. "Girls" was all I could say. My brothers were doing their best to clean their wounds and fix them up. "Alice look at me, you need to pay attention you lost a lot of blood."

I turned to him slowly, not saying a word. I just couldn't get the strength to mutter anything else. "Mr. France.... apply pressure here, it stops the bleeding" was the last thing I heard...

"Alice....rise and shine sleepy head" the sunlight shun on me gracefully. Almost like a summers day. "Francis?" I asked. "Well, who else would it be?" I looked around and we were outside. I was wearing my summer dress and we were back in London. "The girls!!!" I shouted concerned.
"We are fine mama"
"Yeah, definitely" there they were, looking bright as ever.

"No, this isn't real" I said. I turned to Francis and he looked confused. This was all a dream and I was going to wake up soon. This was all a dream and I was going to wake up soon. THIS WAS ALL A DREAM AND I WAS GOING TI WAKE UP SOON!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on! Wake up already" my eyes widened as I took a deep breath. It was bright in the room and everyone stood around me as shocked as I was. "You did it, she is alive"Liz looked to Francis who stood back in relief and shock. "What happened?" I asked. "You wouldn't wake up , we though you were dead." Dylan said. "It's true, you lost an inhumanly amount of blood" Allistor said. I looked to Francis whose shirt was stained completely with my blood. "Thank you for helping, I will be fine" I looked at my leg that was stitched up and in the process of healing.

"How are the girls?" I asked.
"Good, they are breathing and asleep. We restitches their heads and replaces the bandages. It looks like they rammed their heads into something hard." Liz explained.
"Or maybe someone forced their heads into walls" Seamas suggested.

"Those men, they were involved somehow...we have to wait till they wake up, so we can ask them" I stood up slowly with the help of Francis , kneeling down beside the two of them. I am just happy they are safe and sound. "We will fingers out who those men were" my brothers looked at me seriously. "Be careful....these are humans...don't be reckless this time" I looked to them and they nodded. They were ruthless when it came to tracking someone down. So ruthless, that I hardly ever agree to let them do this. But desperate times come for these measures.
