“Arghhhh!!!” A female’s scream was heard.
It snapped the distraught out of Xander’s head as he heard that familiar voice …”

“Kaylan!” Jaden shrieked, her eyes dilating in shock as she saw the arrow flying into her leg.
She couldn’t even stop her from reaching to the ground.

Kaylan writhed in pains, her heart pounding heavily as she stared at the arrow stuck in her leg. What just happened??

“Oh, goodness! Kaylan, are you alright??!” Jaden was muddled.
Why would Lord Xander’ shoot the princess?? Did they do wrong by standing there to watch him??

She looked up at him and found him just staring at them; then she lowered herself to Kaylan on the floor.

“It hurts, Jaden!” Kaylan whimpered.
“It hurts….Just get me some help!”

Lord Xander stood and watched them, realizing his mistake. It was Kaylan! He had thought it’d be someone else! Curse the madness, he wasn’t even thinking.

He noticed as her friend struggled to help her. He didn’t have time for this and really wanted to be alone. What was she doing anyway? Always good at spying…

He dropped the bow and started walking towards them, his legs feeling so heavy.

Jaden, who had been touching Kaylan’s leg, flinched when she saw Lord Xander walking towards them.

“Ho…. Hold on, Kaylan; I think Lord Xander is coming…..this way” she whispered, her voice nearly cracking.
Should she just run away since he was getting there already?

Kaylan also saw him coming and tried crawling backwards, but with the pains she felt, she couldn’t move two inches and had to stay still.
He shot her and now, he was coming to her?? What else does he want??

She bit her inner cheeks as the sharp pains kept increasing. And finally, Lord Xander got to where they were.

“Gr… Greetings, My Lord”Jaden greeted nervously with her hand holding her chest.
She was already sweating profusely.

Lord Xander didn’t even look at her as his gaze was solely fixed on Kaylan. He could clearly see the pain and anger in her eyes – pain of being hurt.

Taking a deep breath, he dropped to a crouch in front of her.

“Why were you spying on me?” He gruffed as he touched the arrow and Kaylan let out a scream.

“Argh!!” She withdrew her leg and Xander was nearly tempted to roll his eyes.
He hadn’t even touched the spot, but she was already screaming.

“I wasn’t spying on you?” She finally yelled, ruefully.
“Has it become prohibited to stand in the field?”

Xander decided not to pay attention to her hostile behaviour as he figured she was only acting out of hurt.

He studied the arrow and luckily, discovered it wasn’t too deep and could easily be taken out.

“I don’t know how you do it, but you need to stay still” he told her, his gaze focused on the leg.

“Stay still? Why?”

“I need to pull out the arrow” Xander replied and placed his hand on it.

Kaylan could feel a twitch right there as he held the arrow.
*Good saviors, I’m not ready for this” she whimpered, unable to control her fears.

“Stay still…. it’d only last a second”. Xander said.
He held the arrow for some seconds without doing a thing, probably wanting to give the hyperventilative Kaylan some time to calm down.

Then suddenly, in a split second, he dragged the arrow and pulled it out, expecting the scream from her.

She screamed out her lungs and writhed back in pains, her head leaning on Jaden’s legs. And at that moment, Xander felt a slight pity for her. She definitely hadn’t experienced such before.

“Sorry” he muttered the word and stood up.

He’d have done more, but his grumpy nature was restricting him.

“Come on, you need to get to your room. I’ll send for the Physician immediately”.

Kaylan sniffled and manageably stood up with the help of Jaden, but walking was no option for her.

“Come on, Kaylan” Jaden cooed.
She wrapped her hand round her shoulder, the other round her waist.
And giving a glance at Xander, she started leaping with Kaylan.

Kaylan was still breathing heavily and in so much pains as she managed to walk like a snail with Jaden’s support. With their pace, she was so sure it’d take them a week to get to her room.

“Come on, Kaylan. You can do it….”Jaden sounded encouraging.
But unexpectedly, she felt a force push her aside and separated her from Kaylan. She quickly turned to have a look and to her greatest surprise, found Lord Xander trying to lift Kaylan up.
Whaaaat??
