Chapter 1
Her mother had found another boyfriend. That was several years ago. She was only six at the time. They got married not more than a month later. Three years after her mother married her new boyfriend, her mother was murdered. They had not found her murderer, and still had no leads. Miria knew who it was though. She had seen the whole thing. It was her new dad. She had to live with this man for the rest of her life. He didn't want people to become suspicious. She was currently 19. She was out of collage and was still living with 'the creep' known as her step dad. She hated his guts. Many times she thought of running away, or killing him. She knew several different languages that she had learned over the years. She used them often to talk to him and annoy him to no end. They lived on a ranch and Miria rode the horses many times a day. Her favorite horse was Storm. His coat was almost all black. He had gray stockings coming up to his knees. His mane and tail was a mixture of black, gray, white, and an almost blue gray.
Miria was at home making dinner. Her dad came in the room. He wanted her to call him her dad, that was the only reason she called him that. If he didn't want her to call him that she would have called him a murderer.
"I think tonight we should have some fun." he says entering the room. He then came up to Miria and wrapped his arms around her waist. She was not use to this and did not like where this was going. Suddenly he started to kiss her neck.
"what are doing?" Miria asks getting out of his grip. She definitely did not like where this was going.
"if you truly love me, prove it." he says once again coming closer. Miria had had enough of him. She had never said she loved him.
"I don't love you. You killed my mother." she says to him. He stops for only a minute. But once again he starts to come closer again. His movement told her what he wanted. And she wanted out of there as fast as possible.
"I don't care. I will have you." he says with lust in his eyes. Miria knew she had to run. And run she did. She ran out the front door and into the woods surrounding her house. Storm saw her and then he saw the man he hated following his mistress. He was hot on her trial. Storm jumped over the fence and ran after them. He knew he needed to protect his mistress. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light. All three of them were consumed in it. The next thing Miria saw was a man in a dark cloak by a fire. When he saw her he drew his sword.
strider's POV
I had just scouted around my campsite. Suddenly there was a bright flash in the distance. I became on edge. Suddenly only a few minutes after the light a figure runs into my campsite. I did not know who it was so I drew my sword ready for a fight.
"who are you?" asks this strange man. He saw a young woman in strange clothing. She had odd colored hair. It was a light coloring, but he didn't know what coloring. He couldn't tell if it was natural, or a dye like the ones Gandalf sometimes made for the twins and Strider. She looked out of breath and scared.
"my name is Miria. I'm afraid I'm lost. Who are you?" Miria asks this man. Suddenly she could hear someone coming close not to far behind her.
"my name is Strider. Lady Miria what is wrong?" Strider asks sheathing his sword. He noticed the young woman's gaze look behind her. Then suddenly she ran behind Strider quickly. A man came out of the forest.
"oh, thank you kind sir. You have found my daughter. We were attacked. I thought I had lost her." this man says.
"don't believe him." Miria whispers into striders ear. She hoped he believed her and not her stepfather.
When Strider heard her he also heard fear in her voice. Out of the corner of his eye he could see the girl looking at the man.
"I don't believe the lady wishes to be found." Strider says watching the man carefully.
"my daughter is not in her right mind, if you know what I mean. She has suffered much after her mothers death. I have taken care of her for years. Miria please come back." the man says, then he started to plead to Miria. His eye told her to come with him or else. Miria knew she had to make a decision. And this decision would alter her future forever.
"I told you what I thought of you. I shall never go back with you." Miria says behind Strider. There, she had made her decision. She just hoped this guy was better than the one over there.
"I believe the lady has spoken." Strider says with a tone of finality to it. The man seemed to change drastically. He became very angry. He charged at Strider ready to fight. Strider unsheathed his sword and swung at the man just missing is arm. He did not want to kill this man after all. Seeing that he was outmatched, and had no weapon, the man left, but not without a threat.
"I shall get you for this Miria." he says and quickly leaves.
