He clung to the wall for support, as he stumbled his way down the hall. "Claira, I know your not dumb enough to get yourself killed." He laughed, but it hurt when he did. "So, either you can't hear me or you're messing with me." Something in his stomach turned and he fell to his knees unable to stand any longer. "Isn't this just wonderful." Obviously no one was around to help him. Maybe he should have stayed when Isobel told him. Xavier was definitely going to get a lecture from her later, maybe even slapped. He never knew with her. Leaning against the wall he kept calling for Claira, his voice a bit more desperate then earlier.

Andion still hadn’t gotten help for his wounds. After they”d cleaned up the mess in the ballroom, he’d immediately summoned his guards, luckily, most were still alive only a few hadn’t been so lucky. They’d bury them later. He sent guards to patrol the outside, needing them to find where Mitri and his men had gotten in. Others he sent to retrieving the dead, helping with wounds, cleaning up and other jobs. He hissed at the pain going through him but kept moving refusing help.

Ruby wanted to go help. Where was Xavier? Claria? Victorie? She tossed her hair and held her head high at William.
"I'm going to help, and no one is going to stop me. I am a crusader in corsets." And with that, she shut the trapdoor behind her and ran as fast as she could up the dungeon stairs. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized there were no enemies around. She ran through the halls, calling the names of those she knew were missing. "Claira? Xavier?? VICTORIE??? VICTORIE??"

Elliot looked around at all the dead bodies

Ruby nearly ran into Elliot in the doorway of the ballroom. She clutched his arm. "Have you seen the queen? Her assistant, Claria, or her cousin, Xavier? Please, sir, if you have I need to know." Panic flickered on her face.

Claira heard a loud, slap-like noise. She darted out of the maid's quarters and into the hallway, where she found Xavier on the floor.

Xavier had been sweating and his breathing was slower than usual. All he want to do was sleep at this point. I should've listened to Isobel. He couldn't see anything and his wound was mostly dried but he lost a lot of blood and his shirt was sticking to it. "I'm sorry." He didn't know why he was apologizing or to whom, it kind of just came out.

Ruby nearly ran into Elliot in the doorway of the ballroom. She clutched his arm. "Have you seen the queen? Her assistant, Claria, or her cousin, Xavier? Please, sir, if you have I need to know." Panic flickered on her face.

“The queen is safe. Xavier is looking for Claria.” He told her. Then walking her over to a chair, he sat her down “sit down and catch your breath first. You won’t be of any help if you cannot even breath”

Isobel rushed back to the ballroom and snarled when she saw that Xavier was gone. "I'm going to wring his neck." She muttered to herself. "Has anyone seen Xavier?!" She yelled.

Ruby shook her head and ran through the corridors. She heard a scream from around the corner, and ran. There was Xavier, lying limply on the ground, Claria kneeling beside him. She let of a squeak and rushed over.
"Where is his wound? Claria, send for a medic."

"Where is his wound? Claria, send for a medic."

"Don't tell me what to do!" she snapped. "Why don't you get a medic, Ruby?"

Ruby sighed. "Claria, I don't want to have an argument right now. I really don't. Queens are trained in minor medicals." She tore off a bit of her dress's hem and tied it securely around Xavier's shoulder. She helped him stand when he insisted, saying that he should keep his shoulder elevated but not move it too much. "Now I will send for a medic. You can stay with him, but…you do have some sort of weapon, correct?" She pulled out her own sewing scissors. "Just in case."

"Yes, I have a weapon," Claira pulled out a long knife. "Are they still in the building?"

"I don't know. But just to play it safe, I suppose." She pointed at Xavier. "Try some water on him." She speed-walked the heck out of the hallway towards the infirmary.

(I was confuzzled when I joined so here's a gist for you.
Victoria (called Victorie by her sister, Ruby) is the queen. She has a cousin, Xavier, who's in love with her assistant, Claria. Still make sense? Good.
Her sister, Ruby, came to visit the castle. She is a very selfless person and likes food. A whole lot.
Elliot's a guard, I think, and Isobel is the queen's strict handmaiden who has something against Xavier and Claria. She probably thinks they're just messing around too much.
Suddenly, at the royal ball, bam, enemy attack. So, Andion, a knight, and Xavier begin to fight them off. They do well, but both have injuries. Meanwhile, Ruby has gotten most of the ballroom staff to a safe place as well as Victorie and Claria, both of whom snuck out again. So did Ruby, against William's (who's another guy) wishes. Now, Ruby has found Xavier and is sending for a medic while Claria is…hanging around and making sure he doesn't die while she's gone.
I think.)
