What's next?

Edward's grand entrance

Edward's grand entrance

Edward woke up with a loud scream, feeling a sharp stab on his right shoulder, like a knife stuck in it.

With one leap, he jumped off the bed and felt his shoulder.

He was shocked to find that everything was fine with his chest.

Still, Edward is sure that he should go somewhere now.

The thoughts in his head weren't exactly helpful.

He kept thinking of the Countess, although he had never seen her before.

Edward had had a strange feeling at times, in some situations where he thought the Countess should be around him.

He sometimes assumed that there must be a strange connection between himself and the Pretty Countess.

Edward fell to the ground all of a sudden, as if someone had kicked him in the soft tissues.

Edward swallowed and had a kind of sensation that suddenly appeared in his mind's eye. ‘’ He was at the dock near the office. There he found that the countess was shot down with an arrow. This put it in Veronica's right shoulder. She lost a lot of blood.

Edward wondered if what he was seeing was really happening.

She crawled in pain towards the office of the dock.

Tears fell down his cheeks on the floor.

It was difficult to watch the countess crawl in front of him in pain.

Her pretty dress was covered in blood in some places, and it seemed to him as if she was poisoned by the arrow that stuck it on her shoulder.

More tears rolled down the face

Edward was so close to help, yet he was so far from her.

The next thing he saw was the vision being blurred.

He couldn't see anything now. He only saw the ground in front of him.

When the view was clear again in front of him, he only saw the countess passed out in front of the door to the office. ’’

Edward woke up from this perception, he was all sweaty.

He thought about what he had just seen.

It actually happened, or he just imagined it.

The wind whipped against his window with full ****, and it began to storm.

It was clear to Edward to go to Dock now.

The gut feeling gave him the signal to go to the dock.

He got dressed within 40 seconds and ran towards the Carter flat.

Edward wanted someone to help him if the Countess was really hurt.

Carter was also an emergency paramedic and was well versed in injuries of all kinds.

Especially when it comes to gunshot injuries.

Did he know what best to do!

The rain lashed Edward's face, led by the wind.

His thoughts were with the Countess the whole time.

A loud crack of thunder made everything resound.

Just a few more yards to Carter's flat.

Edward knocked on the door, not noticing how loud he was knocking on the door.

Carter was at the door in 30 seconds and opened it.

To Edward, those 30 seconds felt like an eternity.

Very annoyed, Carter said to Edward, ’Edward, you know how late it is.

Why are you awake so late? I would like to go back to sleep. ’’

Edward looked at Carter seriously and answered still exhausted:

‘’ Carter, something terrible happened. I had the inspiration that the countess.

Seriously injured at our dock. We have to be quick. I think she was poisoned by an arrow from her right shoulder. ’’

Edward was visibly marked by what he thought and was still completely tired.

Carter asked again, "You are 100% sure that this actually happened?"

Not that it was just a dream of yours. ’

Edward was close to your tears and said in a loud voice, looking closely at Carter, ’Please Carter, you just have to believe me. I seem to have some kind of connection with the countess.

I cannot introduce myself. Why I had to see this I'm just certain that the countess will die soon. If we don't go there now.

If this wasn't serious, I wouldn't want to bother you at all ’’

Edward's heart was beating faster and louder.

The storm increased, it was raining harder and the wind got stronger and stronger.

A thunder made the windows shake and Edward thought the heart beats so loudly in his chest too.

Carter was ready to answer: "Edward, I see how damn serious you are. Good friends stick together, just like the cannon and the bullet cannon.

Wait, I'll be ready in 3 minutes. I just have to move and the plumbing equipment. ’’

"Thank you, Carter, for helping me." Replied Edward Carter

When Carter finished, they both walked toward the dock.

Carter said as they both walked at a fast pace, ‘’ I'm so excited. What we will experience at the dock. I'm still not entirely sure whether we'll even find that.

What you've experienced, Or maybe we'll find something completely different.

Except maybe ’’ Carter paused his last sentence and pointed to Edward at a quarter of the stretchers to the dock.

‘’ Hey Edward, check out what's over there. They came from the direction of the docks.

Aren't these fracture tooth watch with a pretty woman and Scott, ’’ said Carter

Both hid behind a bush and saw how the group stopped.

The woman gave a loud laugh, and then she said: ‘’ What such a beautiful night, Veronica is history and I will give away all of London to my raffle, make slaves.

Everyone will appoint me Elyssa as the new king.

Scott, you're going to trap your dock mates on me. So, that I can make you my slaves. Do you understand me?''

Scott said obsessively, ’Yes, my mistress. I will bring everyone to you. So, that you can give them this great gift too. ’

Elyssa laughed, a man passed by who could barely go out.

‘’ Do you want to see again how quickly I can get people on my side? ’’

From her followers came a loud: ’Yes, mistress, we want to see that.’

Elyssa tripped the man and he fell.

The man who appears to have been too drunk to fight back said nothing.

Now Elyssa sat on the man's chest and three more of the two held the man's arms and one of the third man held the man's mouth open.

Edward and Carter watched with their mouths open as Elyssa spat the man in her mouth.

The man was getting some twitching, as if he had just been struck by lightning.

Elyssa got up again and said to the man: ’Come on, get on my new ****. You will be mine forever now. Come to me, I have another present for you. ’’

The man got up as if nothing had happened and went to her.

There he got another ring from her. What this should be good for, both would have liked to know.

The group finally moved further north.

When the group stopped watching, Carter said to Edward:

‘’ Edward, I'm pretty sure the Countess is on the dock with us too.

I am also very sure that Scott betrayed the Countess to Fractional Teeth Watch and their more likely leader.

I think he was really weird with the Elyssa. ’

Edward looked at Carter and said, ’’ Fortunately, you noticed that too.

Actually, Scott is a person. Who wouldn't just go with such strangers.

He was probably enslaved by this Elyssa just like the man there

Carter agreed and said, ’Let's talk to Scott tomorrow.

He would be able to give us a reasonable explanation.

And we must at all costs warn the others about Scott and his new friends.

I suggest we run to the dock now. When the countess was poisoned.

Then every minute counts now. The faster we are there, the faster we can help the countess. ’’

They both ran on and on towards the dock.

It was now 3:30 a.m., it wasn't long before the sun rose.

There were hardly any people on the street yet.

They were five minutes from the dock.

Both finally arrived, and they were presented with a horrible picture on site.

There was blood everywhere and one of the traces of blood for the office.

Edward looked there and his eyes literally fell out.

He saw the countess lying there, who appeared to have been badly injured.

‘’ Hey Carter, look over there, the countess is just like I had it in my perception. We have to get to her. ’Said Edward in a trembling voice

They both ran over to her and Carter said to Edward, ‘’ Look that it’s not looking good for the Countess. We absolutely have to make the arrow out of her right shoulder.

But under no circumstances should we just pull the arrow out of her.

I need **** to disinfect the wound, I always have something in the office for emergencies. ’

Edward, still shocked, said, In ’All right, Carter, I'll get the booze.

Luckily, I have the key from the office with me. ’

Tears flowed down Edward's face.

Carter noticed and said, "Edward you needn't be afraid. I will help her.

She still has a pulse, but we have to help her now. ’

Carter wanted to take the fear away with these sentences, although he was sure that you will not survive today.

Her pulse was still there, but it was feeble.

But Carter didn't want his doubts to be shown.

Carter started doing **** on the shoulder wound.

He slowly pulled the arrow out of his shoulder.

Edward held the countess's hand, even though she was **** he thought this would help her.

As he held her hand, he noticed that the countess was holding a note on her left hand.

It said something on it, some words were blurred by the rain.

Edward only recognized the words: ‘’ Became and in the necklace. ’’ Everything else was no longer legible.

Edward showed the note to Carter: "Here, Carter, take a look at this. A note from the countess, unfortunately it seems as if things were missing from the message. ’’

Carter looked at the countess's note and couldn't figure it out.

‘’ What could you have meant so that I only understand the train station? ’’

Simultaneously Carter has sewn up the arrow wound well.

Edward thought about it, and it seemed to him that the voice of the Countess was saying:

"The one against poison is on my necklace, hurry up before it's too late."

Edward was overwhelmed by that angelic voice of hers and then said to Carter:

‘’ Carter, I now know what you meant to say about your note. The antidote is in her necklace. We have to hurry before it's too late. ’

Carter didn't think this would help now.

He took the chain from his neck and then saw that it was something that could be pointed.

Carter gave Edward the tip and said to, ‘’ Edward you have to inject her.

If I hold on to the arm right away, you have to inject this directly into the other.

Can you do that? ’’

Edward said with copious tears in his eyes, where he saw that she was getting weaker and weaker:

‘’ I'll make it, she has such an attraction for me. I don't want to lose her. ’

‘’ Alright, but you have to concentrate otherwise she will die! ’’

Carter held her arms straight and the others were easy to see.

With a trembling hand, you feel the syringe to one, the other.

Carter said in a loud and serious tone, ’’ Man Edward, you have to concentrate, otherwise it’s for the Countess. I thought you wanted to save her. If your hand is trembling like that, you can't inject this into her, how are you going to inject it into the other one exactly.

Go tell me or are you not strong enough here for this case yet. ’

Edward was crying, and he was ****, and he said to Carter, ‘’ Tell me how am I supposed to be so calm. After all, there seems to be some kind of connection between me and the countess.

I'm trying everything to stay calm, but I just can't do it. ’

After that sentence, Carter clapped Edward in the face, ’Say, you’re not the Edward I’ve known since I was a kid. If only you would hear yourself once. What such a hypocrite are you.

Didn't you always tell me you have to keep a cool head in all things!

You have to calm down now. ’’

Edward who was still shocked by the fact that Carter slapped his face.

Then said: ’Thank you for waking me up. I don't know what advised me to do it.

It seems to drive me crazy, her pretty face has to suffer. ’’

Carter held her arm again and Edward was very calm and injected the antidote into one of her veins.

Both were curious whether this would help them.

Minutes passed and Carter checked the countess's pulse.

He was back to normal and Carter said, ’Edward we did it. She will come by. I'm 100% sure of that. What shall we do now? She'll need a lot of rest now. Where should we get it? ’’

Edward went into the office and came back with the bottle of **** in just 20 seconds.

Edward replied, ’We can bring you to me. I want to take care of you. I also have to stay with her and be there when she wakes up, ’’

Carter agreed: ’’ Write to the office that you cannot come to work today.

I'll tell your father that you had a foot injury, ’’

Edward said, "Thank you very much for helping me. I will never forget this.

Let's be with me before the sun comes up. ’

‘’ What do you think best friends are there for. I guess I can't let you down with that, ’’ Carter replied to Edward.

Edward went to the office and wrote the letter to his father.

Both now set out to bring the Countess to Edward.

One Took the Left Shoulder this was Carter and Edward took the right shoulder off her.

So, you went towards Edward's flat.

So, that you don't look like the Countess had too much to drink and they both bring her home.

It was now 4 o'clock in the morning and the first people were going to work.

I have been to the street from Edward (Flat).

They had managed to help her and bring the countess to safety.

Carter and Edward broke the Countess into Edward's bed.

Edward cleaned up a bit next to the bed.

Carter took the countess's pulse again and said to Edward, ’Hey Edward, your pulse is stable.

I can leave you alone with her. Nothing should happen any more. I'll try him over the lunch break and check on her. I recommend wiping your face with a damp lamp whenever you start to sweat. ’

Edward was slightly relieved and said, "Thank you very much, Carter, you've got something good, go back to bed." So, that you can collect a little more energy. ’’

Carter said goodbye to Edward and went home.

Edward finished the bucket of water and sat down next to the bed and watched the countess.

Veronica looked so peaceful when she slept there in bed, light beads of sweat ran down this pretty face and Edward dripped off her face.

He was startled when Veronica turned on her other side in her sleep.

Edward kept dripping off her face.

He looked again at the stitched wound from the arrow.

Carter did a great job fixing the wound.

Time seemed to melt away, he had been alone with her for four hours now.

He had a relatively good feeling that the countess would soon get up.

She often moves to the other side while sleeping.

Edward only now realized how exhausted he is.

Tried to stay awake, he took Veronica's hand.

He held her hand tightly.

There Edward noticed how great her hand felt, it is so delicate and soft.

Edward had never seen anything nicer on his hands before

He felt a warmth that went through her hand.

The feeling he felt now could not be described in words.

It was 12 o'clock and the bells of the churches in London were ringing.

There was a knock on Edward's door, he let go of the countess's hand and went to the door.

Carter was at the door.

Hey ’Hey Edward, I have some news for you.’ ’Carter said to Edward, who was visibly marked from last night.

‘’ Excellent, come on in. The Countess is sleeping peacefully. ’Edward said to Carter, where he said that with the Countess in a whisper.

Carter went into the flat for a quiet chat.

Carter immediately asked, ’How is the Countess? Something happened to her. ’’

Edward replied: ’’ The Countess is sleeping peacefully in bed. She hasn't woken up yet. ’’

Carter then said, "Scott didn't come to work today either. I warned everyone about him, of course.

Everyone believed me, many said that he should have been acting very strangely lately anyway. It was also about the amounts of blood that were on the dock.

I told you that two wild boars fought each other and that one wild boar lay there and then ran away. So as not to speak further of this topic. I then have to say about the advantages and disadvantages of the respective ship. ’’

Edward laughed and then said, ’Excellent, Carter, exactly as I imagined it would be. Wondered why Scott didn't come to work? Thought he had got the job of this Elyssa to lure all of us into a trap, or did we misunderstand something there? ’’

Carter and Edward looked very questioning at each other.

‘’ Oh yes, Edward, the brig's captain has postponed his further voyage for a day. Should have been a request from the king. ’’ Carter said to Edward.

To which Edward replied, ‘’ well then I'll see the captain tomorrow.

When I'm back, Maybe Scott will be there tomorrow too? ’

Carter nodded his head in agreement, then said, ‘’ So Edward, I have to go again. Can you tell me when she got up, or maybe she'll sleep until tonight.

Otherwise, I'll come back tonight when I'm certain. That Scott won't lure our colleagues into a trap. ’’

"All right, Carter, let's see you later," said Edward

They both said goodbye and Carter then went back to the dock.

Edward was getting more and more tired, he took the countess's hand again and sat down on the chair next to the bed-

He held the hand until finally exhaustion won, and he sharpened it with his hand.

The Countess woke up a good 10 minutes after Edward fell asleep.

What's next?
