When I heard it. I sprinted with all my might. At the doorway, I saw Angelica lying on the ground, while the knight is on top of her. Things were scattered everywhere...
"Blake..." [Angelica]
She's calling my name. Seeing her in that state made something inside me boil.
Tears flow down her face, as she repeatedly called for my name. The feeling of her despair radiated through me.
"Don't tell me you're already broken, I still haven't done anything yet~" [Knight]
"... Blake..." [Angelica]
I picked up the shovel that was beside the doorway because I cannot swing my claymore in this tight space. After hearing my name one last time. I let out my rage, I had used my most powerful swing.
I didn't care if my hands went numb or hurt from the recoil. I just want to get this bastard off of her, it hit the damn knight with such force that he was thrown off into the next room.
I held Angelica's hand and helped her up, her clothes were all crumpled, her hair was a mess and tears flowed down her cheek.

"Thank goodness you're safe..." [Blake]
I hugged her very tightly and held her head to my chest, she started to cry... her sobbing echoed throughout the house. As I caressed her hair, she started to calm down.
She looked up at me and had teary red eyes, I wiped the tears off with my finger.
As we were about to walk outside...
"You fuuuuuuuuucccckkkk!!!" [Knight]
The knight, let out a roar as he lunges at us with a dagger in hand. Angelica was on the path of the dagger. Wasting no time, I pushed her away so she wouldn't get stabbed. The knight not stopping managed to stab me in the shoulder as I shielded Angelica from behind.
Pain surged throughout my body, the force of the lunge made us fall. Now, the knight was on top of me, forcing the dagger deeper and deeper into my shoulder.
"Aa-ack!" [Blake]
"You disturbed me from my enjoyment, I'm going to kill you slowly and painfully." [Knight]
I wanted to shout at Angelica to run away, but the pain was overwhelming.
Angelica, screamed as she punched the knight on the head over and over, the knight got pissed at her for hitting him so he swung his arm and hit her. The gauntlet of the full plate hit Angelica's cheek and she fell a few feet back.
The knight then took the time to stab the dagger even deeper. I couldn't feel my warm blood anymore from my hands, my consciousness is fading...
"Blake! Blake!" [Angelica]
That voice... after hearing it, something hot flowed inside of my body, it's like the feeling of someone hugging you and sharing their warmth. I opened my eyes, my vision is somewhat blurred, but I was sure that it was Angelica who was beside me using Healing magic.
She stood up, her back facing me, raising a broken sword towards the knight. I want to say "No... run! Just run!" but no words escape my mouth.
As Angelica charged at the knight, I lost consciousness.
