The rider had been chasing after Lady Marie, intent on catching her before she could find help. One moment she was just ahead of him, almost close enough for a shot. The next she was coming at him from the side, her rapier held almost like a lance.<br/><br/>The thin blade slid into his clothing, between ribs, and into the delicate flesh and organs beneath. He gasped, turning around and letting his cocked arrow go. It whizzed just off to the side of Marie's head, and was lost in the forest beyond. There was a gush of blood as Marie withdrew her rapier, and then he fell from his horse.<br/><br/>From the not-to-distant-southeast, there were the yells of men. They were coordinated and communicating, and Lady Marie could surmise that they were looking for her.<br/><br/>(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6530/storypost.jpg)
