Chapter 11

Battle

I was still in my dream. Edward was standing in front of me with his menacing eyes. I couldn't look away as he approached me and grabbed my neck. I tried to tell him to stop but he just stood there, snarling at me. This wasn't my Edward… He kept squeezing my neck until I saw Frederic beside us. He looked worried. Gus came behind Edward and put his hand on my boyfriend's shoulder. If I could kill him, I would. Suddenly, I felt something cold on my left shoulder. It was Frederic's hand.

"Fight him Jules. Gain control of him again." He said in his accent. I tried telling Edward how much I loved him but suddenly, he brought his head closer to my shoulder. He bit my shoulder and I couldn't help screaming. NO!

I woke up in a start once again. Even though the nightmare was different, it didn't change the fact that it was still frightening. To think that my Edward could ever be this menacing and threatening was just unbearable. I wanted Edward to hold me in his arms like before. I wouldn't be able see his face for quite some time still but I would enjoy every minute of being with him.

I got up, took a quick shower in the nearby waterfall and got changed before Frederic was back. He probably went hunting because his eyes shined with its golden tint, which wasn't like that yesterday. "How was the hunt?" I asked as I prepared my backpack for the journey up ahead. I knew that today would be the day that we would be stepping into the enemy lines against the Storks but Frederic had though of a way to get around. There would still be Storks waiting for us but less than if we took the first route.

"Satisfying. How are you feeling this morning?" I never even thought of my fever but I felt fine right now.

"Healthy as a horse."

"I see you are getting ready for our last day of the journey." He said as he put his backpack on his back as I followed his actions. I faced him abruptly and looked at him bewildered.

"We're arriving this soon?!" I asked. This was incredible. Edward said that the Cullens would be meeting us in the Elf City so I would be able to see Edward very soon.

"Yes. It will take us a day's journey and we will arrive at the Elf City. But our only obstacle is the Storks. I believe that if we take the new route, we will be able to avoid mostly all of them. So, let us head off as soon as possible." He said as he went towards the three swords still on the cave wall. "Here, take this. It will serve you as an extra weapon. Do you still have that sword I gave you a few days ago?" He asked as he gave me the sword. It was a sword with a red glow to it. There were still inscriptions on it but this time they were in English. It said: With great skill comes great power. Strong words that I didn't understand. But I would very soon.

"Yeah, it's in my bag on the top."

"Good, take it out and put it around your belt." He said as I took the backpack off of my back and took out the sword. Good thing I was always wearing a belt around my jeans or else my pants would fall off on their own. Frederic gave me a strong piece of rope and I was able to tie the sword around my belt on my left side and I put the other sword on my right side the same way as my Aladdin sword. I didn't know the name of the swords so, it was easier to name them Aladdin and Bloodshot. The new sword that Frederic gave me looked like dry blood had remained on the sword but it was the design, as Frederic assured me. We set off soon after Frederic gave me my weapons and in a few hours, we arrived in a part of the forest that had many huts and towers around.

"This is the Storks' encampment. We need to go around to be able to be unnoticed. They have sentries all over the towers. Luckily, they aren't smart enough to have people around the camp. I will have to run if we want to get out of here as fast as possible. The camp is pretty big. You will have to climb onto my shoulders and hold on tight." He said as he crouched and I went onto his shoulders like a little kid. I held tight to his neck as he started running softly so I wouldn't fall but it was still fast.

He seemed to be running for a few minutes until he stopped slowly. "What's wrong?" I asked as he went into a crouch for me to get off of his shoulders. When my feet were on the floor, he said: "Some Storks are coming right now. Not many but enough for a battle." He explained.

"What do we do?"

"We fight. Get your weapons out. They are here." He said as I started to hear some snarling and screaming from in front of us. Something was approaching and I wasn't in a hurry to see what Storks looked like. I took out my swords and the screaming was getting louder. As I got into a ready position, creatures as tall as me came out of the forest, weapons in hand. They were the ugliest things I had ever seen! They looked like the goblins that you could picture in The Lord of The Rings novels, except much uglier. Their skin was scaly with what looked like guacamole. They had many tattoos on their body with numerous inscriptions in a different language. They wore medieval clothes that were too big for them, which was probably an advantage on us.

As they approached, Frederic charged at them with all his strength and I followed him. I didn't want to kill anyone but if it was necessary, I hope God wouldn't reject me in Heaven for this. I attacked them with all I had with my weapons and Frederic was killing most of the Storks, although I was only wounding most of them. When I tried to approach Frederic, one of the Storks came at me out of nowhere and cut me across the arm badly. I jabbed my sword in his stomach and removed it seconds later. He fell to the ground motionless and I had killed my first creature ever. My arm was stinging as Frederic killed the last of the Storks. This was over. Suddenly, I started to feel an immense wave of dizziness and I dropped my swords. Frederic looked at me as I closed my eyes and placed a hand to my forehead to try to stop it but it intensified every second. I started to wobble as Frederic rushed to my side.

"Jules? Are you alright?" I heard Frederic say but the dizziness was too much that I started to lose consciousness. I started to fall face front when I felt cold strong arms wrap around me.

"Jules! Answer me! JULES!" was all I heard before darkness engulfed me and Frederic's voice disappeared with it.

When I woke up, I was in a dark room. It was hardly lit, except for the small candle on the nightstand next to the bed I was in. I sat up in the bed uncomfortably and placed my hand on my forehead. Had this been all a dream? One moment I was in the forest with Frederic and now, I'm in a dark room. The last thing I remembered was fighting Storks with Frederic and when we were about to win, one of the Storks attacked me and I started having a huge dizzy spell.

Wait! My arm! I turned my head to see if I still had a scratch on my arm and to see if I was going crazy or not. I wasn't! I had a long scar from my shoulder to my elbow. Then… where was I? I looked at my surroundings to find more information and nothing was looking… homey. The walls looked naked since there were no windows or anything of the sort. There was a bookshelf with a few books but nothing special and a small television in the corner of the room. When my eyes darted towards the door, I saw someone in a black T-shirt with blue jeans resting against the wall closest to me. He had black hair that came to his shoulders tied in a small ponytail and was looking at me with bloodshot red eyes. I knew this man…

"Hello there, my love."

So, who's the mystery guy? Any clues? REVIEW!!!
