"Follow me into the forest- quickly!" He yelled to the two women. He wasn't sure if any of his men were still alive, but didn't bother to check. His priority was to the Queen. He jumped from the coach, and with his sword drawn, he led them into the thickest part of the forest. Pine trees and leafless oaks dotted the land. He swung his swords a few times to clear a path.<br/><br/>His wounded leg burned and bled, and his head was still light from the injury. He pushed through the haze of his mind and kept going, checking behind him for the Queen. Suddenly a man with a crossbow took sight of Gaius. He aimed, but Gaius charged the man, throwing the archer's aim off, and the arrow just missed him. The general tackled the archer, and they wrestled onto the ground. The archer, on top of the General, took out a dagger and pressed it to Gaius' throat. Gaius tried to reach for his sword, but it was too far. He then grabbed attacker's arm, keeping the dagger a hair away form his skin, but the archer's weight was Gaius' disadvantage.
