Forgive and Forget

Chapter 6

Oh, man. This is what we have been waiting for. The confrontation. Bum bum buuuuuuum.

We walked mostly with the crowd, trying our best not to be seen by the Holy Knights but every time we walked people would bump into us. It was nearly impossible to walk without being pushed closer to the Holy Knights.

Yuna nudged my arm, "Here take this. If we have to run, you are definitely faster than any of us."

"No, you take the stone and I'll hold them off." I told her, "After all, you did say I was the most useless of us."

Igor shook his head, "We are the ones who got you into this mess kid. If any of use deserve to get away, it'll be you. You are the one who told us this was a bad idea."

"Just don't forget to pay our bail and get us out." Archie said.

Walter glared at him, "What do you mean we? You along with Caecilia are going with him. The less caught the better."

Archie looked distrait at not being able to stay with the whole group. Caecilia gave a disapproving snort.

As she slipped the stone discretely into my pocket, the voices seemed to be getting worse. I winced slightly at the pain. None of the others noticed. We were now equally aligned with the Holy Knights and their horses. It was just as we passed that both Holy knights stiffened and looked behind them. Allowing my pulled up hood to cover my face, I was able to see the Knights as they scanned the crowd and once one of the Knights spotted us he alerted the other. They turned their horses towards us.

"We have a problem. They spotted us." I told them.

"Then we have no reason to go slow." Igor said.

With no needed encouragement our group began to run. With the big crowd that had rushed outside, the Knights and their horses had trouble navigating through the thong of people. We, on the other hand, had a much smoother time. But then both of the Knights hopped off his horse and began pursuing us on foot.

Yuna called out to us, "Once we get out of the city I want the three of you to keep running. No matter what happens just keep running."

I along with Caecilia and Archie nodded reluctantly. It seemed that Igor and Walter already knew what she was planning.

The street became clear as we neared the gate to the city wall. It seemed that the Knights were already catching up with us. I wanted to freak out and begin to yell or maybe puke. What would they do to use once they caught us. But for some reason I was completely calm. I seemed to know how to hand the situation as it was, in a calm manor even though I wanted to scream my head off.

We finally made it to the gate. It seemed to be an open field right outside the city so there was no way to lose them. The forest was at least a two minutes run from where we were right now. The Knights were gaining up on us. We wouldn't even be able to make it halfway before they caught up.

I knew I should have had a weapon. Then I could have actually defended myself. It was then that I noticed that only three of us were still running and the foot steps behind us had stopped as well. We were able to make it to the forest.

I stopped right at the edge and turned back to see the three older thieves fighting the two Holy Knights. One of the Holy Knights had blue silver hair and blue eyes. He wore a white outfit while the other had red hair, eyes, and a outfit on.

Despite the Holy Blessing all three of them had been injured. Igor was bleeding badly and Walter was not doing much better. Yuna was lying on the ground but still chanting spells. One of the Knights broke away from the fight and was now coming after us.

"Come on Leithe." I heard Archie call to me. He and Caecilia had stopped just after me.

I turned to them and began running. I could feel vomit in my throat. I knew I was close to throwing up from the scene of all the blood over the three people who I had come to see as friends over the past few days.
