It was around 12:30 in the morning, sounds of violence and metal clashing together illuminated the midnight air. A roar of thunder was heard from afar as lighting began to pour out of the cloudy sky. Flashes of lights from the lightning lit up the battle scene in a olden day fortress, one might think a castle.

Screaming voices of men were heard inside attacking and rearing towards two teenagers. A red headed female in a red sweater who would be no older than 16, and a brunette with a green jacket and acidy green eyes much like the girl fighting by his side.

"BEN DUCK" a female voice screamed to the green- eyed male as a knight was thrown his way, sent flying into a wall.

"GOOD ONE GWEN" the boy congratulated her as he hit a knight in the upper jaw.

"JETRAY" an alienated voice was heard throughout the battlefield as a ray like creature flew above the scene. 30 knights had already been taken out but there was at least 50 left.

The manta ray like alien shot green lasers out of its tail and eyes knocking a few of the knights out in one hit while others blocked the attack. The young female was struggling, she was running out of energy fast making her hold a violet shield out in front of her blocking the sharp, jagged weapons the knights slashed furiously at her with.

In an instance an energy rush had overcome her and the knights attacking her were thrown across the room into ornaments, equipment and other inanimate objects that now laid scattered across the room.

The young Antodyte collapsed to her knees out of energy and trying to catch her breath her teammate was furiously focused on his own battle at the moment but that wasn't necessarily her priority now.

Suddenly, a sword came up out of nowhere and missed her by an inch she rolled over and landed in a crouching position, she saw some of her hair strands off her hair flutter to the floor.

"HEY" she yelled out annoyed at the knight who had cut a snipped of her hair off.

He lunged at her again and the girl rolled yet again out of the way but the knight was a lot more faster and had made a deep gash in the back of the girls thigh and leg.

She screamed in agony as the knight approached her again, stumbling to get up she created a shield around herself but it was no use.

The sword cut straight through shield and the girl was sent stumbling back into the wall a large gash on her stomach.

She hit the wall with such force to bring her to a sitting position, leaning against the wall she bent her neck down staring at the blood spewing out her stomach. She felt sick as she applied pressure to the wound. She looked up at the knight and noticed his armour was different to everyone else's.

He had no helmet and wore a golden skirting around his armour. His sword glowed red as he held it behind his head about to lunge at her once again.

Ignoring all pain the girl moved out of the way and landed onto her stomach and hands. It hurt her gravely as she winced in pain trying to get up staggeringly.

Her eyes sprang open as her breathing became hesitant, a small amount of blood leaked out of her lip as her upper body fell back towards the ground.

The knight who was now hovering above her swiped a long gash diagonally down the young girls back.

He chuckled as he grabbed her hair lifting the rest of her upper body with her. She whimpered in pain, wincing her eyes, trying to hold back tears.

"p- please" she whispered begging to the knight as he held up the sword now covered in blood next to her left cheek. He created a gash on her cheek as blood began to pour out of it.

Her red sweater now stained in a reddish liquid. Her pleas for mercy made the man in armor chuckle once again.

"or what?" he said to her pushing her back down face first and then kicking her onto her back.

Her nose began bleeding caused by the impact of the ground.

He held the sword above the girls neck. She was in trembling pain as the knight stood above her about to chop her head off. She closed her eyes and awaited for her life to end but to no avail.

She opened one eye up to see what had happened, why was she not dead yet? A green light filled her rays as the green- eyed boy bent down besides her lifting her head up and cradling the poor girl.

She whimpered softly into the boy's chest, tears streamed down her cheeks as the young man picked her up gently and walked out of the now silent castle.

"it's gonna be ok, Gwen" he whispered to her as he placed her gently into the passenger seat.

She whimpered and winced in pain as the leather interior of the car seat burned into her injured back.

"shhhhh" the wielder of the omnitrix shht her making her calmed down a bit as he placed a blanket onto her. She coughed slightly and smiled at him, everything went dark from there.

BEN'S POV

I heard screaming from afar as I battled my way through a battalion of knights only to find my cousin on the floor whimpering in pain as the head knight held up a long sword to her throat about to slash down on her.

"GWEN" I sped at lightning speed smashing the knight into a wall, knocking him out. I pressed back down the omnitrix turning me back into a human.

I ran back over to my cousin and cradled her in my arms. "b-ben" she stuttered bringing her head into my chest. I looked her over and noticed blood. So much blood. "its gonna be ok, Gwen" I cradled her once more and picked her up, taking her over to my car and placed her in the side seat.

She trembled a bit clasping onto her stomach. I shhh her a little seeing how much pain she was in brought nothing but tears to my eyes.

She was turning pale so I wrapped my jacket over her fragile frame.

I don't think she could tell the difference very well. She looked like she didn't know what was happening. She smiled reassuringly at me, but began to drift off. "Gwen, Gwen, come on Gwen try to stay awake. Come on Gwen" I yelled at her lifting her face up to meet mine.

She stirred a little and winced in pain. I think that was the best I was gonna get out of her for a while. I smiled at her and started the engine up.

I turned back to her a few times. Checking if she was ok.

She only stirred slightly. She was starting to look paler. Around 20 minutes later we were back at my house.

I took her inside, careful not to wake up my parents and placed her gently onto the lid of the toilet seat in the bathroom. She bent down, leaning her upper body weight onto her knees and holding her stomach.

"Gwen?" I whisper to her, trying to get her attention. Her eyes flinched a bit and I noticed out of the corner of my eye, the plants near the window were dying, draining of life.

I turned back to Gwen, she looked a little less paler then before but still looked pretty bad.

She looked up at me and smiled at me.

Her cuts stilled remained though, only slightly healed. I smiled back warmingly at her and taking the first aid box out, and placing alcoholic swabs and a gauze bandage out. I placed a part of the alcohol on her cheek. She winced in pain, hissed and bit her lower lip.

"Sorry" I said sympathetically towards her.

"no, its fine, its not you're fault". she smiled at me.

I placed a bandage on her cheek to cover up the cut. She began to lift off her T- shirt but struggled and eventually gave up unbuttoning.

"here" I said to her helping her remove her sweater and shirt. She was in too much pain to move right.

I let out a sigh as I grab the surgical scissors out the kit and began to snip at her shirt cutting into the fabric as easily as I could without hurting her. I smile as I finish removing her shirt.

She winced in pain as I inspected the wound to see how bad it was, at least 3 to 5mm deep, ouch I mouthed as I turned my back to her to get the alcoholic cloth out.

I heard a thump behind me and turned back. "Gwen? I picked her up and leaned her against the bath. She didn't answer me at first but then began to stir, her eyes flickered open only to meet mine.

"hey" she said calmly staring into my eyes. I chuckled lightly at her behaviour and picked up the cloth, placing down onto the side and taking yet another look at it.

Her whole stomach was covered in blood. I sighed out loud as I picked her up and placed her into the bath. I hopped in after her letting her lean on my lap and chest. I turned on the taps to a warm setting and gently washing out the wound.

She whimpered in pain grabbing my shirt attempting to get away from the water. "it'll be over soon Gwen" I promised her as I checked for more bleeding

she whimpered slightly in pain, tilting her head back fighting against the pain not to scream. "sorry Gwen" I whispered to her.

She just smiled back at me, lifting her left hand up and running her fingers through my hair. "you're really, really soft, Ben". She still had black rings around her eyes and was beginning to fall asleep again.

I grabbed a towel and began to gently wipe down around where her wound was.

I quickly reached over to the alcoholic swab cloth and placed it as gently as I could on the large gap in her stomach.

"nuh" she groaned wincing and leaning her head back once again leaning into my chest.

With the first aid kit nearby I leaned over the bathtub still cradling Gwen in my right arm and lap and grabbing out a gauze cloth and pressure bandage.

I wrapped the gauze cloth around her stomach as tightly but as careful as I could. I was happy that she wasn't fighting me nor struggling like she usually does when she's in pain.

I grabbed the pressure bandage and wrapped it around her stomach ontop of the gauze cloth. I smiled as I looked down at her lightly pulling her off noticing my geans and shirt both had blood on it.

I turned her over placing her onto her side, so I could get a better look at the bigger diagonal gash on her back.

She whimpered a bit feeling the cold. I turned back on the taps trying to clean the other gash. Then placed the alcoholic cloth on it then wrapping it up with more gauze tape.

After wrapping her back up I brought her up to me holding her and cradling her in my arms. I lift her up for a brief second feeling something wet on my leg.

I pull her off me and notice more blood. I look down at her legs and notice yet another slash going diagonally down her left thigh to her right leg. I swear if I ever see that knight again im gonna rip his head off.

"Gwen I'm so sorry" I whispered into her ear as I begin to pull down her skirt and tights. She had no shoes on. Guess they must've fell off in the car.

After wrapping everything up and picking her back up into my arms, looking her over again, feeling a little ashamed just now only noticing that she was only in her bra and underwear. In an instance I wrap my jacket around her. She would be pissed if she was awake.

But she was heavily sleeping in my arms.

'She kinda looked cute I thought to myself, wait did I just call my cousin cute. I mean of course my cousins cute. I mean I like her don't I. I don't like my cousin. I mean If do just not in that way, do I?'

my battling confusion kept going on like this for what seemed like forever, not even knowing that I was already at my room and tucking my cousin up in my bed.

Still battling my confusions I finally came to a conclusion. I love my cousin. I smiled at the fact. Knowing that she was deep in sleep I decided to go for my chance, and placed a kiss on her lips, I know she'll never love me, she's my cousin for god sakes. I let out a sigh, just knowing that upset me. I released her lips, but I was held down.

A pair of arms pulled me towards her, running fingers through my hair. finally deciding to let go, she removed her arms. "thanks Ben" she kissed me again on the lips before drifting off back to sleep. I watched her, smiling blissfully and stroking her uninjured cheek with my thumb.
