Annalise dusted herself off, nodding to Gabriel’s question. “I’m fine, yes.” She saw the blood start to trickle from Nora’s neck, and knew that Gabriel was completely serious about not letting her get away. “Don’t tempt us, that seems like a viable option, right about now,” Annalise said sternly. While she by no means trusted Nora to be freed, she had never been one to want harm caused to any living creature, especially death. She had never seen a reason to use such a harsh punishment until facing Nora. “As much as I don’t trust you, and as much pain you have caused my family… you won’t die by my hand, unless it is ultimate act of self defense.” She wouldn’t kill Nora Raven. Not unless it was to spare another life, but she couldn’t promise the same for her siblings.

Gabriel had to admit that he did want to kill her, but he also agreed with his sister. He couldn’t kill her, not like this. Not even with the fact that she had stabbed him. “I think killing you would be too much of a mercy at this point,” he said to Nora, moving the sword from her neck but slicing into her arm. “I think maybe going back to Italy in handcuffs will suffice.” He looked over to his sister. “You better go get the guards. I’ll stay here with her.” He wouldn’t let Nora get away, and with her bleeding and whimpering in his arms made it seem like she wouldn’t even bother.

Nora gritted her teeth at the fact that both of the Roses there with her were too noble to kill her. She didn’t want to die, but she hated a challenge going unmet. She should have known neither of them would do it. Without warning, Gabriel dragged the end of the sword over her arm and she held back a scream. She hadn’t been expecting it, and it was deeper than what Annalise had done last time. She felt her eyes water at the pain, but all she could do was shakily breathe through it. The only good thing was that she knew she was bleeding on him.

Annalise was honestly just trying to stall Nora until she could grab the attention of one or both of her siblings. Luckily, it had been Gabriel who had heard her. She kept a straight face as her brother came into the room. “Doubtful,” she spat back at Nora. Annalise dropped her hand from her shoulder, rolling them back carefully. She had gotten a bit hurt from getting knocked back by Nora’s magic, but not nearly as much as she had pretended to be. “Don’t move,” the blonde warned her, raising her sword up to the girl, in case she tried anything. “It seems like you were wrong, Nora. My siblings are trust worthy after all… I trusted that Gabriel would hear what was going on, and he came.” Turning to her brother, she kept an eye on Nora, not wanting to give her any chance to escape. “Be careful, Gabriel…”

@gxbrielrose​

Gabriel could feel Nora struggling in his arms and he tightened his grip, knowing that it would hurt her but not wanting her to have the chance to get away. He had made too many mistakes last time, and he wouldn’t repeat those. “Are you okay, Annalise?” He asked, wanting to make sure that nothing was wrong with his sister. She looked mostly okay to him, which was a relief. He seemed to have come in the nick of time. “I’m not letting her get away,” he said, pressing the tip of his sword into her neck, just enough to draw a trickle of blood.

@pericxlo​

Nora had two swords pointed at her now, and she finally stopped struggling. She felt the tip of Gabriel’s sword prick her skin, but she didn’t show that she was in pain. “Your siblings are loyal to their interests.” She knew that Gabriel could not see past the things he wanted or what he had been raised to believe. So she figured she would give him what he wanted. “The only way to get rid of me is to kill me, so I suggest you do it now and get it over with.”

Annalise fell backward as she was pushed, quickly regaining her balance. In the midst of her fall, she made sure to make a loud noise, one that may have sounded like she got hurt, but really, she was trying to signal her siblings. In order to keep the facade that she may have been injured, she convincingly grasped at her shoulder, wincing slightly. Maybe she was more confident this time. Or maybe it was cockiness. She had fought Nora before and left with hardly a scratch, though she knew better than to assume the same would happen this time. “I don’t owe you any explanation.” Her strength as a gift. She wasn’t about to reveal its secrets to an outsider, let alone Nora. She took a few steps closer to Nora, almost daring her to try anything.

Gabriel had been in his room when he heard commotion and a sound like someone was in pain. The voice sounded too much like his little sister for his liking, so he grabbed his sword and ran out of his room, finding Nora there with her back to him. Quickly, he came up behind her and grabbed her, the point of his sword at her neck. “Drop your magic or my sword goes into your neck.”

@pericxlo​

Nora smiled when she saw Annalise in pain, glad that she had cause some discomfort for her. It was even more rewarding than hurting her little boyfriend. “Don’t worry. I’ll get an explanation out of you one way or another.” She had raised her hand to summon more vines, wanting to trap the princess in them, when she felt arms around her and a sword at her throat. “You’ve been so touchy feely with me lately, Gabriel. You’re giving me mixed signals,” she said, struggling against his grasp.

“I’m not going to argue with someone like you about something like trust. It would be a ridiculous waste of time. I know where my own loyalties lie as well as those I surround myself with, and who I can trust, and my siblings are very trustworthy to me.” She refused to comment again on Nora’s words, letting them roll off of her like water off of a duck’s back. “You’re not dealing with my brother, you’re dealing with me.” Annalise lunged forward more, kicking a nearby trunk as hard as she could so that it knocked into Nora. It was enough of a distraction to swing at her, aiming to injure her arms again so that it might affect her magic abilities. 

Nora wasn’t prepared for her to kick one of the trunks into her. She fell to the ground, but recovered quickly. She pushed her arms out towards Annalise, her magic sending the girl backwards. “You seem so confident this time,” she said, getting back up on her feet. “Where did your strength come from? Magic?” She asked, figuring that was the only explanation. She was not much bigger than her twin, and Stella had been easy to overpower.

Annalise wasn’t sure if Nora was prepared to die for this, but if she was, that was a pretty foolish move on her part. “Oh really? Because if I recall, I haven’t done a single thing to you that has ever been deemed untrustworthy. Annalise could feel all of her anger start to boil up inside of her, but she wasn’t going to show how much it affected her. She didn’t need Nora to have that satisfaction. “What, I wasn’t good enough for you? You really thought that you had to go and hurt someone innocent in all of this?” Realizing quickly that cutting the vines would only result in more vines, she gave up her efforts and started to avoid them, instead, the best he could. “Easy, hm? You couldn’t even land a proper hit.”

“You and your brothers and your sister are all the same. Even the same as your parents. You’re all untrustworthy.” Nora stopped, reeling herself back in. She couldn’t let her emotions get the best of her. It had happened with Gabriel, and she wouldn’t let it happen with this girl. When she asked why she had gone and hurt Darcy, she shrugged. “It hurt you too, didn’t it? Seeing my initials in his skin.” She smiled cruelly. “He was quite cute, especially when he was in pain and covered in his own blood. Quite noble.” Annalise mentioned their last fight and Nora rolled her eyes. “You did see what I did to your brother, right? He came at me with his sword and he didn’t turn out so good.”

“Because this time I’m not letting you leave.” Annalise was perfectly capable of fighting her without the sword, if Nora didn’t have magic or weapons either. “If you could do that you would have done it last time. Since you’re so keen on fair fights… drop your magic act, and I’ll drop my sword. Then again… we both know you can’t be trusted.” She jumped back quickly, stabling the vine with her sword to stop it from hitting her. “At least you had the common courtesy to keep our matters within our families, this time.”

“Neither of us is leaving this fight,” Nora quipped. At least not alive, she figured. When she said that she couldn’t be trusted, she felt her anger flare. “You and your lot are the ones who can’t be trusted.” She gripped her hand into a fist, trying to reel in her anger, not wanting to do something stupid. “I had such a good time with your little boyfriend. I’m guessing you found the gift I left you on his hip.” When she cut off the fine, it only grew itself back, the others trying to swipe at her ankles. “I went easy on you last time, and it won’t happen again.”

Annalise knew in the back of her mind that Nora would eventually come back for her. Seeing as how she didn’t seem like one to give up, it was only a matter of time before Annalise would have to face her again. Especially because with Gabriel and Stella, Nora left victorious in some aspect. Annalise had taken that from her, for the most part. Standing in her bathroom, she was in front of the mirror, brushing her hair, when she heard the commotion coming from the other room. Instantly, she recognized Nora’s voice, and was glad that Darcy had been out of the room, with Kaiser. She hesitated to step out, only because she was unprepared to face her that moment, but slowly made her way to the door, grabbing her sword that she kept near her at all times now. “Or what, Nora? I’m not afraid of you.”

Nora saw the girl come into view, a sword in her hand, and she laughed. “You’re not afraid of me. Well then why do you need that sword, darling?” She grinned, the vines she had conjured idling and waiting for more. “You know, I could enchant that sword strike me,” she started, tapping her finger against her chin. “But I like a fair fight.” A vine shot out and whipped against Annalise’s ankles, attempting to trip her. “Or, at least a fair enough fight.”

[pericxlo]

Nora had taken some time to cool off and heal herself after having faced Annalise unsuccessfully. The only good thing about everything that had transpired was the fact that she knew she had hurt Darcy, and in turn had hurt Annalise. That was the only upside she could see, and still that wasn’t enough. She wanted to do more, and now that she knew what Annalise could do, she would be more prepared. Having watched her movements, she knew when Darcy was gone and Annalise was still in her room. She approached the door, using her magic to create vines that moved under the door, gripped onto it, and ripped it from its hinges. “Come out, little princess.”
