19Hawke danced around the elf, her daggers moving like lightening. Sweat poured down her face, her breathing was ragged and she was trying not to choke on her own breath. The elf laughed as Hawke barely dodged another of her attacks.
While Hawke was dueling the elf, her teammates were fighting her body guards and desperately trying to keep the pressure off of Hawke.
Fenris's eyes wandered over to Hawke. She was looking sicker than ever as she blocked and attacked the crazed animal. Worry and concern crept up into Fenris. He pried his eyes from the site so he could concentrate on keeping the women he loved safe.
The battle suddenly ended when Hawke pushed her daggers into the elf's side. The elf slumped down to the floor, clutching the side that had just been stabbed. Her body guards lay dead on the ground, rotting in their own blood.
"Well that was fun." Hawke sighed as she bent down to search the elf. Suddenly the thought-to-be dead elf sprung up and grabbed Hawke, who was so surprised that she fell back and dropped her weapons.
"You will never win!" The elf screeched as she removed what looked like a bomb.
Fenris, Isabella, and Varric had no time to act as the elf hurled the bomb at Hawke.
The bomb exploded onto both Hawke and the elf, coating them both in the green gas, the one that had made all those people crazy.
"Hawke!" Fenris bellowed as he raced forward to her. Once he got to her, he noticed that the elf was now dead from her wounds and Hawke was lying motionless on the ground. If he could bring that elven bitch back to life he would so he could kill again, slowly and painfully.
"Damn it Hawke," growled Fenris. He reached down and checked her pulse. Her heartbeat was weak but it was there. "You better not die."
Fenris quickly but gently cradled her up into his arms as if she were made of glass. He enjoyed holding her close to him, despite the circumstances.
"We need to take her to Anders right now," said Isabella.
Fenris nodded his head in agreement and quickly set off to Anders's clinic.
The doors to Anders's clinic burst open as Fenris and the rest of the group sprinted trough them.
Hawke's condition had worsened on the way to the clinic, causing the team to run faster and pray that their leader and their friend make it.
Fenris stomped up to Anders, who was gaping at them with a shocked expression on his face.
"Fix her now," demanded Fenris. Anders noted that Fenris look particularly more broody than usual, if possible and with one glance at Hawke, he understood why.
"Place her onto the table and tell me what happened." Anders pointed to the unoccupied table.
Fenris walked swiftly over to the table and gently put Hawke down, his fingers lingering a second more than they needed to.
Varric walked over to Anders to explain what had happened. Once Anders had heard it all, he began to examine Hawke.
You could almost hear Fenris grinding his teeth. However he didn't act on his anger until Anders pulled out a knife.
"What do you think you're doing?" Fenris growled and began to glow blue.
Anders rolled his eyes. "I need a sample of her blood to see if the poison is in her blood stream and to see what exactly is causing this problem. You can leave if you're uncomfortable with it."
"I will not leave her side," Fenris stated and sat back down next to Hawke.
"Then shut up about it," muttered Anders under his breath.
Fenris growled and clenched his fists tight, but did not say anything, as Anders made a small cut into Hawke's arm. He held a small black bowl underneath the wound to collect the blood. Once he had enough, he closed the cut using his magic.
"All of you can go home now, this will take a while to see what the problem and it is late. I will look after Hawke and keep her safe. Also I do not need the distractions."
"No I am staying."
Isabella touched Fenris's arm. "Fenris, darling, it's late and there is nothing we can do. Anders will take good care of her and we can see her first thing in the morning. Plus Anders needs to concentrate and you would just disturb him and you don't want that."
Fenris sighed, he knew that they were right but he didn't want to leave Hawke with the abomination. However he knew there was nothing he could do even if something happened and he didn't want to get in the way of helping Hawke get better.
Fenris turned and nodded to Isabella and then turned to face Anders.
"If anything happens to her, anything at all, I will kill you."
Anders nodded and knew that Fenris wasn't bluffing.
Fenris then turned and walked out into the cold night.
The walk to his house seemed to last like a lifetime. His legs felt like lead, his heart felt heavier. Once inside his home, Fenris sat with his back against the wall and his head in his hands. He stayed like that for a while, just sitting and thinking but then he moved upstairs to his bedroom and laid down on his bed, no bothering to remove his armor.
He went over and over in his head what he could have done to protect Hawke so this never happened. It seemed like there were thousands of things he could have done, if he had been quicker or stronger maybe Hawke would be fine right now.
Fenris knew that he wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight.
