"Well if it isn't little emily. Came to see your papa didn't you?" The 6 year old emily nodded her head at the older boy. She remembered seeing him around whenever she came to see her father but this was the first time she's spoken to the strange older boy. "The kings men sent me to go get him but I can't find him"emily mumbled while taking a step back,she was always a very shy girl but still very friendly. The boy kept looking at her in a way that made her uncomfortable and when she noticed that it was beginning to get dark and now most of the men had retreated to their guarding posts or left the training camp entirely she began to worry.
The older boy seamed to also notice the position they were in and smiled a sick smile, one that reminded emily of the lone wolf that once attacked her village that very summer. "I should get back to searching.." Before she could run in the opposite direction she felt herself being lifted off the ground and rough hands cover her mouth preventing her screams of terror and holding her in place, the more she struggled the tighter the grip got until she started finding it hard to breath. She continued to kick and scream until tears began to form in her eyes when she notice he was leading her away from camp."Un-hand my daughter Ian!" The older boy now discovered to be Ian let go of Emily and watched as she ran to hide behind her father."Relax Wayne, I was just playing with little Emily"he reached forward to pinch her cheek but she shrunk away next to her father,Ian laughed and completely ignored the death glare Wayne was giving him and walked away smiling and as soon as Ian was out of site Wayne crouched down and looked at his still shaking looked terrified and at that moment Wayne made a decision. This wasn't the kind of life he wanted for his little girl. Before his wife died he promised her he'd take care of their little girl and over the years she'd grown up to be every bit as caring and beautiful as her mother. She was his reason for living and now he was faced with the hard reality that if he'd shown up just a few seconds late that bastard of a royal guard would have hurt her and he wouldn't be able to do a damn thing about it and that killed himinside. How long? How long before Ian or some other monster tries to hurt his Emily? How long before the slave traders parade into their village when he's not there and take his Emily away from him forever because he was to busy or too old to protect her? No! His Emily deserved better. She deserved a better life, one he just couldn't give her. It was that moment that Wayne felt helpless just like he did the day her mother got sick and just like he didback then he was going to put his pain aside and do what had to be done. So the next morning instead of going to the army training base he dressed Emily in an old worn out dress and began to lead her into the forest. when he came near to where she needed to be, he crouched down and took one last look at his still shaking looked terrified and at that moment Wayne made a decision.

He was there the day she was born and he would
happily die for her.
her."Papa why are you crying. Did I make you sad"Emily knew something was wrong she just didn't know how to fix it."Emily sweaty your going away for a while" as soon as the words left his mouth Emily began to cry
." I want to stay with you papa. Did I make you sad? Is that why your sending me away" her father held her close not just to comfort her but also to muffle his sobs."No princess you did nothing wrong, it won't be forever, just for a little while" He knew he'd never see her again but saying it out loud would just make it hurt more. He was tempted to just take Emily and run to some distant land where she'd be safe but he knew they would find him. "Only for a little while? You promise papa?" He took a deep breath before replying."I promise princess"he pulled away from her and looked up at the approaching sun rise, it was time."Emily princess I want you to do this one last thing for me. I need you to walk straight and don't stop or look back and when you get to a village I want you to tell them the story I told you about how mommy went to heaven but you don't tell them about me ok?they must never know aboutyour papa. Can you do that princess" Emily nodded her head as more tears fell
." I love you papa"Wayne hugged his baby girl one last time."I love you my princess and no matter what you never forget how much me and your mommy love you"he pulled away and tried to look brave even though he knew she could see right through him."Now go, do what I said. No looking back or stopping remember." Emily hugged him one last time before making her way through a clearing but after a few minutes of walking she turned around and found her father gone.
