"Come hurry he awake." Sallie was happy to let her father and the little girl know that Vincent awake, but once they arrived he was gone and only Godfrey.
"He is not here, but he shouldn't be moving with that wound on his back." Sallie notices a window was open, she look out that window feeling a little disappointed and worried.
"Sallie it seem he had something to do all we can do now is to wait for his return."
Sallie father can tell that is daughter is concern for the boy, he then turn attention to the little girl standing beside him.
"Hm Sallie my daughter how about we turn our attention to the little in need."
Hearing her father, she turned her eyes to the little girl.
"Your right father." Sallie made her way to the little girl coming down to her height where she got a closer look at her.
Sallie could see that this girl hooded white eyes that are like two pearls and she has fine, wavy, red hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a river.
She smiles at the girl which made her feel a little at ease.
"We never got to ask you, your name little one can you tell us." Sallie ask the girl and could see that she was hesitant at first, but slowly began to speak.
"My….. my name is…. Isabella."
"Isabella, what a lovely name for such a lovely girl." Sallie said which made the little girl smile a little.
"Alright then how about the two of go for a bath and then find you new and freshly clean clothes."
Sallie offer a hand to Isabella, she look at that hand for a minute then grab it. The two of them left the room together leaving only her father and Godfrey alone.
"Well Godfrey my little friend seem the girls went off to do their own thing together."
Alan said looking at the little brown bear before him.
"Hm, I guess I can check out my collection do you want to keep an old man like me company there be meat in it if you do."
Once Godfrey heard meat, he happy follow Alan behind.
======================
Nighttime on the town of Newsham where Vincent was jumping from rooftop to rooftop making his way to kill lord Bernard while there was guards patrolling the streets. Yet he can feel that someone was following him and they came closer to him by the minutes.
Vincent sees that he is going to have to take care of the one following him before completely his mission, So he stopped and spoke.
"Whoever you are following me show you as I have no time to waste here."
"So you noticed I was following you not bad." Vincent knows this familiar voice as he look behind him.
"It you the one called Helen tell me why what reason do you have on following me."
Vincent look at her standing right in front of him as the both of them stand on top a rooftop. He watches her closely as she reached for her hood taking it down to show her slitted green eyes that are like two chunks of jade. Her silky, curly, black hair is waist-length and is worn in a simple, dignified style.
"I would say take a guess, but I got no time to play games as much as I like, but I got a job and that is to kill you. I will let you know that the one paying me is the one you seek to kill"
Hearing what she told him, Helen show her spear to Vincent seeing that a fight was about to begin between the two of them.
Taking out his two daggers Vincent waste not a second and charge while at that moment jump up midair having both daggers in hand to strike down hard on Helen.
Helen uses the body part of her spear to block that incoming attack from Vincent. Then she pushed him back a little then elbow him to the face, but didn't stop Vincent as he swiftly slash at Helen right side.
Helen cry out from the pain as she held back and kept on focusing on the fight. She spins her body fast slamming the spear against Vincent side sending him flying against a wall of a building next to the one they were on.
Hitting hard against that wall then fall down onto the street of Newsham as he felt at a few ribbes break and cough up some blood. Vincent slowly rise from the ground looking up at Helen.
"Come now at least give it your all in this fight of our, I would like to have a little fun before it comes to an end."
Helen jump down from the rooftop and charge forward at him trying to impale him with her spear with quick thrust work. Vincent dodge those, but felt that each one that he dodge was getting faster by the moment where he can feel small cuts from and there appearing on his body.
Vincent could see that she was increasing her speed when each time she thrust her spear at him. He quickly had to get out of this, so he broke free moving fast to reach behind Helen back.
She had no time to react against the attack coming behind her as a dagger impaled into the middle of her back. Helen cry out in pain from that attack from behind yet she did not go down, so Vincent use his other dagger to pierce her heart.
Helen quickly let go of her spear to stop Vincent from stabbing her in the heart. She also sees that she is becoming weaker because of the dagger from stab into her back making Helen bleed faster as Vincent put pressure on it.
'Fuck this guy is going to kill me at this rate, I am going to have break free and reteat.' Helen back headed Vincent then a backward kick to the chest.
The kick wasn't that strong as it only sent Vincent a few steps back as he was able to get back fast. Yet Helen was already gone, but she was bleeding, so she couldn't have ran that far.
"Hey you! Stop right there!." Vincent stop to see that two guards was heading his as it seems that he has been spotted and must now made his escape.
Vincent disappear from within the shadows that even those two guards couldn't find him.
"Shit! That person got away and I bet it the one were looking for." the first guard complain.
"Hey look here." the second guard saw blood on the street leading somewhere.
"Could it be the one we just saw." the second guard ask.
"No this is going in a different direction than the one we just saw didn't disappear this way."
The first guard think to himself then answer.
"Alright I am going to follow the blood, you go report this back to the captain."
"Got it." the second guard took his leave to report back to Captain Percy while the first follow the blood trail.
==========================
Not long that guard show up in front of a noble household where there two guards there keeping watch. He told them that he has something to report back to the captain and then enter inside.
"Captain, I have something to report to you." that guard reported to captain Percy where man listen carefully.
"I see this mean things are about to get more now." Captain Percy smile on the thought about what is going to happen.
"What do you mean…" that guard was caught off mid-sentences where they heard screams from outside.
Soon it was quiet until the door was kicked open where Vincent enter standing before the captain and his men with daggers covered in blood.
"And here come our Assassin nice of you to show up."
"Are you here to protect lord Bernard." Vincent asked and that made Captain Percy laugh.
"Fuck no lord Bernard is under arrest inside our jail, But I had a good feeling you show up here, so I stay behind to welcome you."
Vincent see that he had fallen into a trap by the captain and didn't like that someone like him from The Brother of Inferno it seem like he is failing more and more.
"Yes now that you're here, you have two chances to give up and be arrested or fight back and die."
"Do you think I would pick the first one."
"Nope, I was hoping you were going to fight back make my boring job more interesting."
Vincent ready himself while captain Percy and his mad draw their weapon out and surround him.
"Come then let this old body of mine remember the excitement of fighting again."
