Hey everyone! This is my first fanfic ever. so please be nice!
My best friend forever.
It was a dark foggy night. Mist rolled in the street. Chilly wind blew and announced the arrival of snow. Silence ruled the streets. The only noise heard was the sound of a window creaking due to the strong wind. A shirtless boy about 7 years old was running frantically. Banging on every door, he screamed for help. "Help, please help, anyone." His eyes filled with tears. His voice echoed through the street. No one ……. In the silence his tears started to fall. He heard his friend's scream in pain. His heartbeat stopped. He ran back to his friend and took his head in his arms. "Don't worry Tals, it will be alright. Trust me. You'll see, any second now….. A….. A very kind lady will come with some medicine……and…..and some food." He tried to console his friend. The chilly wind started to blow again and snow flakes started to fall. He tried to shelter his friend from the storm. He was just 6 years old. His friend, Tala, had a high fever. They had escaped from the abbey just now. They had cuts and bruises all over their innocent (and cute) faces. They knew that the abbey guards would be looking for them everywhere. Suddenly they heard noises. The guards had found them. He picked Tala on his back and started to run. The guards were getting closer. He looked back, his foot got caught in a vine and he fell causing Tala to slide forward. Tala's head hit a large stone. Blood gushed out from the new wound and he screamed. His friend Kai froze. The snow underneath him turned red. The guards were catching up. He took Tala, picked him up and ran towards a nearby cottage. He didn't know what to do. His eyes watered as he thought "I am so helpless. What should I do?" A hand touched his shoulder. Kai countered it with a slap on the face of the person. "Hey! What was that for? What are you doing in my barn?" it was a young farmer a little older than him. By appearance he was a thin tall boy with blonde hair and fair skin. "Help us! Please….. My friend…. He's hurt."
The boy looked at Tala and jumped. He immediately ran towards his house and got his sister. She carried some medicine. The boy had some food for the two to eat. "The guards… are they after you?" Kai nodded. "Don't worry, we won't tell them but if they come in hide in the hay." The boy was pointing towards a huge pile of hay. When the girl was finished dressing Tala, they left them the food and two old shirts (as they both had none) and went back. Kai took Tala's head in his arms and went to sleep in the hay.
The night went with a lot of fear with Kai getting up every 2 seconds. He looked around and checked for any noise but everything was quite. Early next morning Tala had still not woken up. Kai picked Tala up on his back (Tenma style!) and left the barn thanking the boy and his sister. The sun was rising as he walked with Tala on his back. Far away the roosters announced the arrival of morning. Having absolutely no idea where to go, he decided that he would make it to Moscow and then think of any thing else. Maybe they could find work there or contact someone for help. The boys had nothing extra, no food, no clothes…. nothing. They just had themselves. Tala coughed and woke up. "We're going to Moscow Tala." "Why?" "Um… the guards will never find us there." Kai tried to cheer the sick child. "But how will we get there? It's so far away. We can't walk there." "Don't worry I'll think of something."
For the next two weeks, they traveled towards Moscow any way they could. They asked for lifts, ran on foot and even became stowaways on a truck. But they made it to Moscow at night. "Look!" Kai pointed towards the bright lights ahead. "We made it Tala! We finally made it!" After such a long time Kai saw a smile on his best friend's face and that made him happy too. -So many new horizons may be waiting for us- he thought with pleasure.-or something else- he dreaded.
