Just Another Story

[TITLED MOMENTARILY]

AN : I wasn't the only person to contribute in the writing of this story. My friends and I wanted to try something new, and as a result, we decided to compose a story through Chain Mail. This meant that we would keep passing this story onwards, and send it to a new friend each time a new paragraph, or paragraphs, to the story is added. And here's what we got so far ..

Lyanna

Out in the cold winter air, it was easy for Regan to lose herself. The moon's rays were all that lit her path, its glow soft and welcoming. She strolled along, not caring in the least where she was going. Thoughts did not cloud her mind, neither did worries gnaw at her; she felt free for once in her life.

She glanced behind her, having heard something disturb the silence. Or was that just the rustling of a rabbit, bounding away from a fox, fear and speed all that filled its small head? Perhaps it was. But still Regan could not shake off the eerie feeling that a presence was watching her, following her, reading her every emotion upon her face... Fear began to darken her once peaceful mind. She turned, and caught a glimpse of a shadow.

"Who's there?" she called, trying to keep her voice even. What the hell was she thinking, going out alone in the dead of night? She strained her eyes to make out the dark shape, she saw a flash of steel. Then before she knew it, she was knocked flat on her back. Her mind whirling, she tried to remember her lessons in fending against surprise attacks. Nothing came. She struggled against the body atop her, fear mounting in her stomach. She managed to catch the assailant by surprise, getting a good punch to his face. He grunted, rolling off her. Breathing hard Regan righted herself, taking on a defensive stance as she was taught. The attacker, to her surprise was a boy of her age. His dark hair tied hastily to the base of his neck, his dark eyes wary with a hint of wildness. He was crouched, bristling with tension, his hands tight on the dagger he held.

"I thought you were one of them," he spat, his voice rough and angry. Still glaring at her, he stood, rubbing self-consciously at his nose. He was taller than she expected. "Who are you?" She was about to reply, when he whipped his head back, his eyes searching the shrouded darkness. He moved in front of her, his movements graceful and sure. "Here they come," he whispered, his voice scarcely heard. Without warning, he flung himself forward, daggers flashing.

He moved at an incredible speed, that boy, one that Regan had never seen before. In a split second, he was out of sight. It was as though he had never appeared. The encounter was so sudden, so unreal. Who or what he was and where he had come from, Regan had no idea. And for once, her imagination had not run wild.

The longer the mysterious boy took to reappear, the more curious Regan grew. Yes, she was that kind of girl. Regan was adventurous and daring, and never, if ever, took profanities from anyone. After waiting for what seemed like forever, Regan sighed. She must've had looked stupid (and suspicious) standing there, staring at nothing into the distant darkness; she didn't want anyone passing by to think that she was some weirdo stalker. Definitely not. Regan smacked her forehead and figured that she needed to wake up. What was she thinking?

"He's not coming back. I better get out of here," she yawned, cold and slightly stunned. She may be stubborn, but she wasn't stupid. But as soon as she took step from where she had stood for the last ten minutes, a battle cry pierced the night. Regan stared wide-eyed back into the murk, wondering who it was that had just been hurt. Was it the boy, or the people he was going after? Then, she perceived it. Something glossy looming in the mist caught the corner of her eye. She anticipated the worse.

"What the-" Peering into the darkness, realisation struck her. Regan gasped.

Hopefully, it would be continued ..
