Remi bowed before Princess Arielle as she walked onto the bridge of her Valor. She nodded to him, and stood in the center, arms behind her back, and she watched space pass by. Remi smiled, happy to be around his Lady, and to serve her. He didn't love her in the sense that some would think, but more that he thought of her as a sister. He would bleed, and even die, for her.
Remi looked up- Gunfire down the hall, and he went to protect Arielle... What? He couldn't.. He couldn't move! He took a step, but it was slow... Exaggerated.. It took an eternity for him to take one step. He watched the doors to the bridge open, and the guards in the bridge shot down instantly. Remi kept trying to protect Arielle, but he was just too far.
The Prince walked in, aiming his gun at his sister. They spoke to each other... What did they say? He couldn't hear them. The Prince then started laughing, and just shot his sister. Killing her in cold blood. Remi screamed out loud, but no one seemed to hear him. The Princess fell to her knees, and then forwards, blood trickling from her wound. Remi tried harder still to reach her, but he just couldn't.
The Prince looked right at him, and began to laugh. He laughed so sadistically, so maniacally, and he left the bridge laughing, laughing, laughing...
"I MUST SAVE THE PRINCESS! MY LADY! I MUST SAVE HER! I... I..." Remi realized he was awake now, lying face first on the floor of the infirmary... "I must.. save her... My lady.. Arielle..." His ranting turned into incoherent mumbling, and he began sobbing on the floor of the infirmary. Someone was asking him what was wrong, and if he was okay, but all he could do was cry.
