The Fighters (Amicia x Melie |A Plague Tale game)

Teenage girl fixed her red hair and sighed.

"Arthur, for the last time, we're NOT going there."

"Did you even listen to that brat, Melie?!" The red-haired boy crosses his arms on the chest "They're nobles! They're going to give us tones of gold for rescuing them."

"If they're so rich then why they were wading through the battlefield at night all alone?!"

"If they weren't nobles they would run away from the guards"

"I still have a bad feeling about this plan."

"We NEED that money, tho." He approached his sister "C'mon sis, we're a team. You really want me to go there all alone."

"No way" she chuckled "You won't survive a second without me!"

"And vice versa!" He elbowed her, also laughing

"All right, all right. Tell that brat that we'll get his masters back."

About an hour later they were hiding in the bushes near the military camp.

"I see 6 guards at the main gate." Artur whispered

"Any archers?"

"4 of them."

"Well, that sucks" Melie scratched her neck "Let's get out of here."

"No! There must be some way."

"Oh, c'mon!" Melie whispered angrily "You just want to go there no matter what because you heard that there'll be a beautiful noble girl, you thirsty bitch!"

"NO, I DO NOT-"

"SHHHH" Melie covered his mouth "You're insane, y'know."

"Maybe...but we need that money so better think about the plan."

They went silent for some time gazing at the armed camp and the soldiers ready to kill any intruders.

"I may have a nice idea" Melie finally whispered to her brother "When they'll be changing the guard, we'll use the moment and sneak in."

"Yeah but there's shitone of other soldiers inside the camp, for sure."

"I know, you idiot! Listen!" she smacked him on the shoulder "I'll search for the nobles and free them. You, at the same time, will support me by distracting the soldiers and guards."

"Well...hmmmm" Arthur scratched his neck the same way his twin did "I could throw some small stones at them...or on something that will make a sound, like pots or helmets..."

"I know that you want to see your noble girl but I'm better at sneaking and you have better aim."

"Ok, let's do this then."

The sun started getting higher and higher on the horizon as the twins were waiting patiently in the bushes for their chance to infiltrate the camp.

"Hey?" the boy broke the silence

"What?" his sister asked annoyed

"If she's hot, I'm calling dibs on her."

"You ain't calling shit!" She hissed. She was about to scold his dumbass brother even harder when she noticed a larger movement at the gate.

"The change of the guard" she announced

"Let's go!"

"Arthur?" she pulled his sleeve "Don't get killed."

"Don't be sappy!" he sent her a wide grind "We own this shit."

^^^

The twins may sometimes act dumb or even reckless but when it came to getting the job done, they were doing it right. They burst out of the bushes and climbed at the fence gracefully landing at the other side.

Melie stayed down at the ground and Arthur got on the roof of the first building. Thanks to their excellent teamwork, it didn't take them long to find a girl in a cage, the one that they were looking for.

^^^

Melie, hidden behind the barrel was waiting for the guard to leave. She took her time to examine the girl. Melie expected some overdressed, cute noble shaking from fear. The girl in the cage, on the other hand, seemed not scared at all. She was rather angry, like she wanted to punch that guard in the face but the bars were stopping her. She seemed strong and dangerous to mess up with...and kind of nice to look at, actually.

A guard was talking to the girl for some time and then, to Melie's satisfaction, he left leaving the cage unguarded. The red-haired girl began to sneak in that direction when she noticed Arthur sliding down from one of the war machines.

'Dibs' he signed with his hands

'What the hell is he doing?!' Melie thought angrily

Arthur got to the cage and opened it quickly. He pointed at his sister, sending the girl to her, and he climbed at the machine again.

Melie watched as the noble girl, the one that she was making fun of all they, was now approaching her. She was sneaking gracefully...on her long, beautifully-shaped, muscled legs. When the noble girl got closer, Melie noticed her hair in the color of a chestnut dark wood. Her dark blue eyes with that feisty twinkle in them. Her lips, dry and cracked but full and well-shaped. Her face, pretty and covered with bruises and scars...which were making her even more attractive in Melies' eyes.

"Fuck" Melie whispered"...she's hot"
