Where it all began IV

"Uh."

Aries frowned when she only saw Joaquin open his mouth slightly, but didn't answer. She glanced at Davien and then at Curtis, and huffed.

"Excuse me," she said, patting Davien's chest using the back of her hand. "It's my time to act as the knight in a white horse who saved a beautiful damsel in distress."

Aries winked mischievously and pranced past Davien. The latter rolled his eyes, feeling his head throb at his devious sister. Meanwhile, Curtis just laughed at Davien's expense and then glanced at Aries back. A shallow breath slipped past Curtis's lips as his smile lines faded when Aries approached Joaquin, whom they believed was the victim here. 

"Are you hurt?" asked Aries as soon as she stood in front of Joaquin. When the man didn't reply and just kept staring at her, she bobbed her face to examine him. Seeing no visible wounds or bruises, she heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
