Dangerous Secrets

I'm running, fast, jumping over fallen trees, ducking under low hanging branches. The barks behind me are replaced by whimpers as thunder cracks in the sky above. I speed up, my energy being fueled by the lightning and thunder. The rain starts to pour, making it nearly impossible for a normal person too see. I know the men with the dogs have stopped chasing me so I find my hidden cave I've been using for years, for exactly this situation. After lighting a fire and eating a light dinner, a slice of bread and cup of rain water, I reread the last letter I wrote to my mom which has become a habit when I am stuck in the cave. Drowsiness finally won the battle and I feel into a restless sleep.

I awoke to a loud boom outside. Making sure the fire was out and grabbing my dagger I stealthy made my way to the mouth of my hide out. I crouched, listening for any sign of movement. It was still dark. The only sign of any life was the sound of crickets chirping. I made my way out of the cave slowly in my crouched position. Sensing no potential danger I rose from the ground and started to walk. Off to my right was a charred tree that seemed to be hit by lightning. I slowly started to jog back to my hut, carefully placing my feet so I didn't slip in the slight drizzle. Suddenly an ear splitting, at least to people with very sensitive hearing, scream filled the air. Knowing that scream all too well I turned my jog into a sprint that rivaled a wolf in hot pursuit of its prey. Following the path that has been imprinted on my mind, I reached my hut in a few short minutes.

"WENDY!" I screamed without realizing it. Bad move. Four men who had been hiding in the shadows came forth, surrounding me. Thanking Mavis I put my hood up while running, I scanned the men.

The one on my left had medium length black hair, crimson red eyes, and several metal studs adorning his ears and smirking face. The man on my right had black shoulder length hair covering his right eye which was more of a ruby red, he was expressionless. Behind me the man also had shoulder length hair but it covered his left eye. He had the same expressionless face as the man on my right, except this one had the eyes of a lost puppy that had been kicked too many times. I wonder if the three are brothers, I thought to myself. I narrowed my eyes at the man in front of me, the one standing in the way of me and Wendy. He had strange spiky salmon hair, black onyx eyes, and an expression of a child at an amusement park. HE was the one I hated the most.

"Dragon Slayers" I whisper, knowing they can hear me. There expressions changed to a shocked one.

"Ghihi, so it was a girl. Yes we are all dragon slayers. How'd ya know?" the man with the longer hair said.

"I am not inclined to answer that question." I replied with my practiced monotone voice.

He looked at me with now narrowed eyes, I pay him no heed. I heard another scream coming from inside the hut. The guys around me covered their ears trying to block out the sound. I took the chance and bolted forward, knocking the pinkette out of my way. I burst into the hut to find my "sister" huddled in a corner. Another man, now standing looked at me with a hardened gaze. He was taller than me by a head, with light spiky blonde hair, stunning blue eyes, and a scar across his eyebrow.

I raised my head causing my hood to fall, my eyes widening every second I looked at him, a large lump forming in my throat. He looked at me with eyes filled with pain, bewilderment, and a hint of tears. I clutched the dagger still in my hand as if my life depended on it, causing my knuckles to go white.

The man took in my appearance, blonde hair slightly darker than his, big light chocolate eyes, and pale glowing skin much like his own. Tears started flowing down my cheeks as he took a step toward me. I couldn't move. I couldn't tear my eyes from his.

As he reached me he whispered, "Lucy?"
