PRICE OF DUTY

The entire clearing went silent as Quinn caught Alice in his hands. He stumbled back a step and fell to his knees.

"A worthless endeavor" Renji spoke up from where he stood preparing another barrage of lance's, "To think she would still have the strength to move. I'm slightly impressed"

'Shut up" Quinn said while ensuring Alice was still breathing. He took a bit of her hair and cleared it from her face to see there was a shallow mark on her left cheek, and he felt his blood boil on seeing it, "Just shut up"

"Futile," Renji said before releasing the lances once again.

Phoom!

Phoom!

Phoom!

Quinn quickly stood from the floor with Alice and jumped to the other side of the clearing in one leap. He dropped her to the fkoor while making sure she was no longer bleeding before looking up and jumping back towards Renji.
