"Yeah, I don't think I agreed to that," Steve replies. Hilda rolls her eyes,
"Well, I wasn't exactly going to ask for your input on the matter."
"Rude."
"Steve, I don't think now is the time for this," Alex interrupts.
"Right, sorry Alex," Steve says.
Hilda feels herself growing irritated by how casually Steve was taking her dramatic monologue. While Steve is apologizing, she begins to rummage around in her inventory, pulling out a splash potion of harming. Before the couple can react, she throws it at Steve, knocking him to the ground. Alex runs to his side, distraught at the pain of her partner. Hilda spots that Alex is in a moment of weakness and uses the opportunity to cast a mind control spell. Alex feels as the spell seeps its way into her mind, its awful clutches scraping at her very soul. She can feel as her emotions, her thoughts, are drained away, gradually being replaced with those of Hilda. Alex tries her best to resist the spell, to build a shield around her mind but to seemingly no avail.
Steve gazes at Alex with weary eyes, watching as her expression becomes slowly vacant. He couldn't just let this happen to the woman he loves. Struggling on his last heart, he reaches onto Hilda's brewing stand and grabs a much cooler, stronger splash potion of harming; a Splash Potion of Harming 2. With the little strength he has, he throws it at Hilda. She screams in terror as the deadly potion causes her skin to melt from her bones and then as her bones, in turn, start to melt. Before long, what used to be a person with a life and dreams (demented dreams but still dreams nevertheless) is a mere puddle of goo.
"I did it! I actually did it!" Steve cheers. Alex looks like she's about to join in the celebration when she suddenly goes very still. She collapses to the ground before any words can escape her mouth. Steve looks over as he sees Abigail fall to the ground almost simultaneously.
"No, oh no. Please don't die on me Alex," Steve mutters frantically as he goes to check Alex's pulse. He grabs her blocky wrist, trying to control his breathing so that he could focus on her heartbeat. Steve waits for what feels like an eternity before he finally feels a light bdmp.
Whew, She was still alive. Steve begins to rummage through Hilda's chests, pulling out an array of healing potions. He splashes them onto the sisters before picking them up over his shoulders. Struggling under the weight, he slowly climbs down from the hut and begins to make the journey home. Praying the entire time that Alex would wake.
