!WARNING MINOR CURSING!
Akeeta's point of view (pov)
I woke up to screaming and the smell of burning flesh. I ran to my window and peered out...
Everything was on fire. People were running around screaming. I recognized my boyfriend, Sorin's, body on the ground unmoving. My father opened my door and told me to get my most prized possesions and meet him and the rest of the family in the living room. I hurriedly gathered all I would need then grabbed my breast dagger and put it in its hiding place (for those of you who don't know a breast dagger is a dagger that is designed to fit inbetween a girls... ERHM... breasts).
I ran to the family room to find everyone... except Lydia. "Where is Lydia!?" I asked. Everyone froze Cain replied "she was just here," "well that does us a hell of a lot of good" I replied sarcastically. "well at least I was here to have seen her" he spat glaring at me. "well exuse me for no one coming to warn me that we were under attack because you guys were getting your stuff leaving ME COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO THE MATTER" I yelled getting in his face even more with every word. He opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by our father "ENOUGH THIS ARGUING ISN'T GOING TO GET LYDIA BACK" he bellowed. I sighed " sorry father" we mumbled.
Then we all heard a familiar voice scream " NO PLEASE DON'T NOOOOO!" I pulled my regular dagger from its sheath at my waist and ran out the door only to be covered in my sister's blood as I watched a sword pierce her chest only to be yanked out. "NO!" I screamed as I ran forward to catch her body. I caught her just before she hit the ground. Her breath was already slowing as blood gushed from her chest. She weakly smiled up at me as a lone tear fell from her eye and said in just above a whisper " I love you... Akeeta. Please take my necklace to... to remember m-me by." " I don't need to because we'll be fine, I can see you everyday" I replied not only to comfort her but myself as well. As she replied tears poured down my face "your old enough t-to kn-know that's not going to h-happen Akeeta, so take my necklace and protect the f-family for me p-p-please". "Lydia please don't leave me" I replied. "sorry little one b-but my t-time is up" with that she took a breath and slipped away. "LYDIA NO DON'T LEAVE ME PLEASE NOOO PLEASE I NEED YOU PLEASE" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Inola crouched beside me and removed Lydia's necklace and place it around my neck. It was a beautiful crystal necklace that had always been her favorite.
Inola then grabbed me and hugged the life out of me while I sobbed, grieved, and cursed who ever caused this. I reluctanly stood up and walked over to the man that had killed her who was currently fighting another villiager and stab him through the heart with my dagger, twisted it, then yanked it out all the while showing no emotion. I spit on his now lifeless body then walked back with Inola back to the rest of my family at the stables. Everyone stared at me in disbelief and were clearly shocked by my actions, seeing as how I was always the gentle one in the family, but they knew how close Lydia and I were. We each mounted our horses then took off. However before we could exit the village a small volley of arrows came flying and hit me and my family. The horses all fell. I looked around and saw my family and the horses looking nearly like porcupines. I had got lucky and had only been hit in the arm and ankle. I automatically knew my remaining family was dead or dying. The anger I had been trying so hard to contain finally just boiled over.
A pale gold light surrounded me and knocked everyone to the ground killing all but four invaders. The strongest of the four quickly bashed me on the back of the neck then everything faded into darkness...
