i made my way to the fence, to cross back over and return home. As I was crossing there was gunshot and pain as I was hit and feel to the other side hitting my head on something.

"Aargh!" I cry out and breath heavily. I lift myself up and glance at my arm I was bleeding. "Son of a..." I touched my head and felt the wetness of blood. Finally raising to my feet and looked around. Out of the wood a Tom Harry, George's thug came forward holding a bayonet.

"Did you fire that gun? You could have killed me. What do you mean by firing without checking there's people about!" I shout

"Orders Missis. Shoot all folk who's straying." he replied

"I wasn't straying you imbecile I was visiting the the mistress who for my faults is my sister ." I stumble away. I didn't know which to clutch my head or my arm. Both were injured. I stumble into the kitchen

"Judas! What happened?" Demelza rushed to my side and kept me held up.

"That good for nothing Tom Harry." I grumbled

"'ee never shot at thee?" Purdue stood taking my other side.

"On... on the path by Trenwith. I fell and crack me head." I explained hazily "There's two of you Jud. Oh that's not good."

"On Warleggans orders" Prudie sneered

"I'll give him orders." My head lolled to one side

-3rd Person-

"Nay Jud....Abigail?" Demelza asked "Abigail!" she didn't respond

"Oh, Judas. Jud, ride to Truro as fast as you can and find Dr Enys, he shouldn't have left yet. Go, now!" the red head yelled. "Prudie clear the table and help me lay her on it. It's the best we can do."

"What about mister, Ross? Jud should have gone for him too." Prudie instead

"No, the last thing she needs is Ross throwing his weight around. She is our first priority right now.." Prudie cleared the table the helped Demelza pull Abigail on to it.

"Aye that is a cracker alright." Prudie commented

"We must keep an eye on her clean what we can before Dr Enys can come." Purdue nodded.

Jud took one of the horses and rode as fast as he could to Truro. He knew of a tavern where soldiers like to frequent and busted his way in.

"Dr Enys sir, you know where I can find Dr ENys?" he questioned the barkeep who directed him to his room. Where Dwight and Caroline were inside

"Dr Enys sir. Open up for an emergency." he banged furiously on the door. A half dressed Dwight answered as Jud caught is breath

"Jud, why are you..."

"It be the Mistress, sir. She was attacked, bloodied and cut up like a soldier fresh for war. She needs your attendance." Dwight looked back at a shocked Caroline

"Go. Go." Dwight closed the door and quickly redressed before grabbing his things. He rode back to Nampara and into the house. When the returned Abigail had re awoken but was still a little out of it.

"What happened?" Dwight breathed. Purdue and Dwight went into the other room.

"I was returning, from Trenwith. When Tom Harry shot at me and got my arm, but I fell and bumped my head." she groaned

"You were shot at, where is Ross? Why is he not here?"

"Do not involve Ross. Just patch me up and set sail." She waved him off but was hesitant. He cleaned her up and checked her out asking questions as he did.

"She must remain awake and in your site for at least the next two hours. Then checked on repeatedly." Dwight told Demelza "I will write up what you need to do."

"Thank you." Demelza nodded to him

"I'm not happy that Ross is to be kept in the dark. But she is my patient and I will do as she asks. I will send a note to Dr Choke and ask him to check up on her though it pains me to do so." Dwight left and when Abigail could bare to stand she joined Prudie in the parlour
