[color=92278f]"Miss Alexis?"[/color] The young woman answered and she came across the room hurriedly. Knowing what she was Alexis raised her hand and let her see the throwing star. 

[color=ed145b]"Stop where you are. I know[i] what[/i] you are and if you move another inch it will be your last. What do you want?"[/color] She asked calmly but with a deadliness to her tone. 

[color=92278f]"I- I want to help. The doctors are saying that Mr. Elias was attacked by something that stabbed him leaving spiny quills in his torso. Both you and I know what that was."[/color]

Alexis nodded. This girl knew what she was and she was the enemy. Not a movement the female wesen made went unnoticed by Alexis. Alexis looked at her and asked warily, [color=ed145b]"How do you know what stabbed him?" [/color]

There was noise in the hallway and the young maid jumped. [color=92278f]"Take this for your ankle and put this in Mr. Elias' wound. It will cure the poison but it must be done soon or he will die!"[/color] The maid stood where she was with her head down when the door was thrown open. Alexis turned to see her aunt distraught and Alexis slipped the small jar and bottle into her robe pocket without drawing attention to them.

[color=ed145b]"Aunt Jean what is all the noise about?"[/color]

Jean scolded her maid [color=8dc73f]"Sophie hurry! She needs a day dress quickly!" [/color]

[color=92278f]"Yes'm"[/color] the maid hurriedly pulled out a day dress and Jean looked terribly upset.

[color=8dc73f]"Something has happened to your cousin Elias. Now don't cry dear but he was attacked in the wee hours since the party. Someone mentioned giant porcupines? I think that they were drunk but we have no idea what it was. The doctor said he has been poisoned. We don't know if he will survive. You must come."[/color]

With tears in her eyes she ran behind her dressing bifolds and let Sophie dress her and she slipped the dress on over her head and she looked at the bottle. Whispering into Sophie's ear she said, [color=ed145b]"If this hurts him I will kill you personally."[/color] With that she walked into slippers and ran/limped out the door of the room catching up to her aunt quickly.

There were several people in the room. She pushed people aside and her aunt made all of the servants leave. The second she saw Elias her pallor whitened. [color=ed145b]"Oh no! No, Elias!"[/color] 

Her aunt tried to hold her back and Alexis shoved her hand off of her arm. [color=ed145b]"Please Aunt Jean, take the doctor outside and talk to him. I need to- to pray for Elias."[/color] 

Jean gave her a surprised look but took the doctor outside into the hallway and they spoke. Hurriedly she pulled the bandages open and she tore open the stitching of the wound. Alexis slipped the bottle with the liquid out and poured it into the wound. She said a silent prayer and wrapped the bandages back up like they had been. She peeked under the bandage a couple of moments later and noticed the blackened edges looked a little less black and the flesh seemed a bit less putrid smelling. She poured the rest of the bottle into the wound. 

When the doctor came back in it was to find Alexis holding her cousin's hand like a proper young lady might, although she was kneeling and not sitting on a chair. He decided to overlook it. People did irrational things when they were upset. He gave Elias a once over and left Alexis in the room with the injured man. She immediately crawled into the bed with him holding him close to her. The door had shut and she let her breath out. She hadn't been aware that she had been holding it. [color=ed145b]"Elias, please don't die. I'm sorry we fought. I'll never argue with you again....please."[/color]
