Priscilla and Aquila page 12 by ric gustafson
Priscilla smiled when she saw Rufus and Mary come in and sit behind her. Trouble had started brewing at the synagogue between those who followed Yeshua and those who did not.
Just then, a man walked in and sat down next to Priscilla. She did not recognize his face. He had a bulbous nose and thin lips.
Rufus could see the man pull out a short sword from underneath his cloak. " Watch out".
Priscilla turned and screamed.
Rufus pushed Priscilla to the floor. He lunged at the man.
The man put his sword blade into Rufus's chest. Then the man got down on one knee and put his blade slightly into Priscilla's neck.
Just then, Aquila threw a projectile and hit the man in the temple.
The wounded man dropped the sword and ran.
Aquila touched Priscills's neck. " You are bleeding".
" He barely cut me". She touched her wound. " Thanks to you".
Aquila ran to Rufus. " He cut you too".
" Barely". Rufus examined his torso. " I'll be ok".
