Berserk and The Journey of Acceptence Chapter 5.
Location Village
Jill P.O.V
Jill! my mother yelled as she ran to my side, meanwhile dad walked towards us
"lost battle? old babble? Don´t talk to me like you know more then a kid! we fought our hearts out so our wives an children could live in safety. I served my country, crawling under cannonballs and got away with a bum leg!" he roared.
I turned to my mom looking for support.
"apologize to your father Jill" as he drew closer he looked at my mom
OUTTA THE WAY! he yelled as he hit my mother over the face with his crutch.
"MOM!"
All my anger was replaced with fear for not only my but also mom´s safety. WHACK I was once again on the ground defenceless like all the times before as e continued to hit me over and over again, I rose my hands to try to protect my face when suddenly father stopped his assualt and let out a scream. when I looked at what it was I could not belive my eye, it was the elf he had stopped my father. I don´t think dad saw the elf because he walked up to mister swordsman. who the hell are you and what do you think your doing he demanded. I waited for his response but all he did was hold up the elf, wait the elf they don´t know that he´s not from the misty valley I had to tell them but I wasn´t fast enough.
"AN AN ELF!, HE´S GOT AN ELF WITH HIM" father interrupted before I could say anything and before i knew it the man and the elf was surrounded by people. an older looking man walked up to the swordsman.
"You there, you are going to hand over that elf to us peacefully!"
"That´s fine by me but first I want to know why" he replied ignoring the elf.
"No you are wrong, he´s not one of the Misty Valley elves!" I shouted knowing that there was no reasoning with them but I still tried to tell them as my mom dragged me into the house.
I kept my eyes on the swordsman and tried to warn him as an old lady came up behind him with a pickaxe only to be tripped and crash to the ground.
"Give...Give me back my grandchild" she pleaded as a look of shock appeared on his face briefly.
I knew he didn´t mean it but the rest of the village didn´t and ran up to attack him.
He gripped his sword, "there´s no way they can fight him" I thought as the mob came closer.
"STOP! EVERYBODY STOP IT!" I yelled as he drew his sword with one hand and smashed a wagon and escaped during the commotion.
As I watched him run away ignoring the angry cries of my Father demanding that they should kill the elf I felt regret wash over "this is my fault, if I warned him this wouldn´t have happened. I need to find him." I clenched my hands and ran in the direction that the man ran off too.
I ran for a short while until I heard voices from over the wall.
"What´s lucky about you? My luck just took a nosedive."
"I´ll curse you!"
"I know those voices", it was the swordsman and the elf. I looked down and saw him argue with the elf.
"Mister Swordsman? Little elf? I´m sorry...If only I warned you ahead of time none of this would have.."
"No kidding. Thanks to that, I missed out of some valuable info." I was interrupted before I could finish.
"I´m Puck, are you alright Jill?" the elf asked completely ignoring his companion.
I wiped a tear from my eyes as a small smile started to on my face
"Sure I´m fine. Anyway you can hide in that windmill shed, no one´s used it since it broke down." I explained as I pointed to the mill in the distance. " when nightfall´s, I´ll bring some food then we can talk... please stay put until then."
"Uhh...Hey Jill right? If you come, do it towards morning. Do not come near me before dawn breaks, no matter what."
"huh?" what could he mean by that? I asked myself only fom my thoughts to be answered by him.
" I doubt you want a repeat of last night." He explained as he walked off leaving me to my thoughts.
Sometime later.
I looked out the small crack in my door as my mom brought dad his drink.
"Took long enough! How long was i supposed to wait? he screamed as he slapped her over the face.
"It´s because of you that Jill is turning out the way she is! Don´t you see that discipline her I´m gonna take a piss" he explained as he started to walk towards me.
"No No No" I thought as I desperately looked around me. My eyes fell on a piece of wood. I grabbed it and quickly barred the door. As I took a few deep breaths I turned around and saw lying their on my bed the swordsmans cloak. I walked up to it and wraped it around me as I waited for dawn to break.
I sat there for what felt like an eternity until I saw a sliver of light shine through my window, "It´s morning." I thought to myself as I walked out into the kitchen and grabbed an apple, some cheese and bread and put the food in a basked. I was careful to not wake my mother or father who passed the night before as I slowly opened the door to avoid any noise from the old hinges as I slipped out and began running towards the mill.
When I arrived the sun slowly climbed to the heavens on the horizon as I opened the door.
"Mister Swordsman?" I asked as I looked inside, He was sleeping on the ground surrounded by spirits that slowly disappeared in the morning sun.
I approached him to wake him up but before that I heard a voice from above me.
"Let him be for awhile. He just fell asleep a minute ago."
It was the elf, he was sitting in the rafters above.
I walked forward and gently laid his cloak over him like a blanket and sat down next to him "A black swordsman with an elf. He come from a strange world...someplace I don´t know, someplace other then here..." My eyes grew heavy as I rested my head towards him, a feeling of safety washed over me as I rested my head on his lap, this man who was a complete mystery and with those thoughts sleep took me and everything went black.
author´s note
IMPORTANT:
this is no longer my main story...why it´s because it´s pretty boring to write and to adapt the manga and with my other story I have more creative freedom.
I will still update this but slowly and I know that it´s been slow mainly because I worked on my Berserk X RWBY Crossover but I hope that you all understand.
anyways thanks for reading next chapter will conclude volume 14.
