Chapter 2
The man just looked at me as I had noticed my hand tremble just the slightest. I was only five foot six inches but this man was at least six foot. A kind yet slightly flirty voice called a "Did you kill this woman?" "Ha" I scoffed "Like I would want to kill an innocent girl, I don't do that shit. How about you, did you kill her? I mean, look at you. I can already see a sword, a bag for throwing knives, some type of device on your right arm, a dagger, and that long cape/cloak your wearing. You look kind of suspicious there buddy boy." The man seemed a little taken aback "Well well ma'am, you have quite the eye there. I'm surprised you were able to see all of those...and in the dark none the less...Oh if only you weren't standing in the shadows at night so I could see you, you sound like a real beauty-" I cut him off with a "Oh can it flirt. I know what you're trying to do, asshole."
I turned on my heel, deciding to head back to my home when soon a few people ran from the direction of my home. Fear entered me. Something I hadn't felt in a LONG time. The man reacted by pulling out a sword, when it hit me, the scent of smoke and something burning. I shot off, running straight home ignoring the battle between the man and the 6 other men. I silently prayed that my family was alright.
I stopped in front of what was left to my home. Nothing more than flames, flames and my home that was engulfed into them. I felt my knees go weak when two strong arms wrapped around me to keep me up. I look up to see the man as a tear ran down my face. I had felt my body starting to go limp in his arms when I realised something, I half said half shouted a "Where is my family? Where is everyone?" I shook myself out of the man's arms and ran towards it, ignoring all the calls from the firemen and ran straight into the house. "Mother! Father! Anyone! Is anyone here!" I searched around frantically, a support beam falling and hitting my left shoulder. I cried out in pain and shoved it away, hissing at both the searing pain of the burn on my shoulder and from my hand.
I searched around a little while more than the fumes and smoke started getting to me, I could feel them starting to take effect on me as I felt like I was going to black.
