Chapter 13

The armoured soldier ran through many trees and bushes. He was carrying Iolene in his arms. She was still unconscious. The dark sky loomed over the land, he ran and he ran until he reached the other part of the meadow. He walked fast up the hill. The cottage was still there.

He slowed down his pace as he walked to the cottage. He opened the door, inside the cottage was dark and desolate. It was so dark you can't even tell where the ground was. But he took a step in and lighted up the torches. Even with the torches lit, it looked so dark. He carefully placed Iolene on the ground, laying her on the ground, where he had laid for so many years. He sat down next to her, desperately wanting her to wake up.

He could not help but to stare at her. From his red eyes she was so beautiful. She lies so still and breaths peacefully. Her soft, long blonde hair, her lips are as beautiful as a pink rose. Her skin is so soft and smooth. But yet so pale and covered with bruises. His heart sank when he realised how much danger he caused her. With both of his arms he lifted her head towards his and with his hands he started to slowly stroke her. His dark rough hands coursed through her body. Whenever he stroked her deep down her body His heart started to beat frantically.

He continued on stroking her. Then Iolene shuffled in his arms, he clenched her more in his arms. Iolene moved her head towards his direction. She fluttered her eyes open "Aaron..........." She was sighing heavily. His red eyes pulsed with anger AARON! IS THAT THE MAN WHOM SHE TALKS TO! He clenched her even harder, Iolene groaned in pain. Her vision was blurry, but she looked directly up to clearly see of what she was looking at. But to her horror she saw the scary man figure. She screamed loudly and with her quick reactions, she pushed him hard to get away from him, she slammed against the wall. She flipped backwards to the other side of the cottage; her back was direct on the wooden wall. What was he doing carrying me....

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Iolene quickly shouting out, she felt so scared that she can no longer walk. The armoured man looked down on the ground. His eyes closed "Don't you remember me?" He created fists with his hands with frustration. Iolene looked down at him, "Remember you? No I don't. Where am I!?" Iolene sternly and raised her fist at him.

"So you don't remember where you are....." He quickly stood up and went up closer to her. Iolene didn't know what to do. She had no weapons to use and she felt too weak to cast magging spells. Every step he took, she got even more nervous. What is he trying to do to me? He got so close to her. He started to touch her arm, but he closed his hand onto her wrist and pulls her forward to him. He leant his head forward, her lips collided with his. Iolene completely shocked and surprised, the taste of his armour was horrible. Iolene's eyes widened in disgust with her left arm she pushed on his face and pulled away from him.

Then Iolene quickly moved to the other side. Quickly walking backwards she fell over. He followed her slowly, he was enjoying of what he is seeing. He had never seen her scared before; these new sights that he is seeing enraged him even more.

Iolene still on the ground after when she fallen over. She looked downwards of what she had just tripped on, but as she looked down at her feet. She felt even more scared of what she was looking at. Her heart beats faster and faster. She started to breathe heavily. She just couldn't help but gaze at it. It was a pile of bodies. Iolene squinted to look at them. It looked like a man with two children. All three corpses were dripping with blood and their skin looked green and scaly. It looked completely like life had been sucked of them. Iolene quickly jumped up and tried to run as fast as she could to the exit. She started to scream out for help.

But he stopped directly in front of her. With his strong hands her grabs her throat and grasps it tight. Iolene tried to use her hands to get out of his strong grip. But it was futile. Her feet dangled in the air. Iolene tried to breathe desperately. He began to smile with happiness he moved back onto where his old sleeping area was. With the power of his hands he slammed her onto the floor. Iolene started to cry through the pain. He hovered his body directly on top of her, his left and right arms supported his body. Directly beside Iolene's body. "I am never going to let you go!" The warrior clenched his hands yet again. He began to lower his head again. Iolene's vision was getting blurry. Tears started to stream from her eyes. She was almost losing consciousness.

Aaron........Beau....... HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back on the Meadow

It was now morning Aaron and Beau were still lying in the same spots. Aaron lied on the ground where he was started to open his eyes. The sun was shining, but everything was blurry. He carefully sat up straight. Slowly moving his body hurt so much. He yelled in pain and crunched downwards. Aaron slowly looked around at his body. Covered in scratches and bruises he gently stroked them. But stroking them caused even more pain. Then Aaron looked up at his surroundings. Aaron's heart sank everything in the area was destroyed including Iolene's cottage. There was almost nothing left.

Then it rang through his mind. Aaron radically looked around his surroundings. WHERE'S IOLENE? Aaron's eyes widened open. He tried to get up as quickly as he could. He stumbled around and as he stumbled around he saw Beau! Beau was lying on the ground almost lifeless. Aaron slowly and steadily walks up to up to him. He placed his hand onto Beau's head. "He's still breathing" Aaron for a split moment had a sign of relief. He whispered out Beau's name numerous times and gently nudged with his hands. "Wake up Beau..." Aaron started to slowly rock his head harder and faster. "Wake up. Wake Up!" Aaron started to get really frustrated with him. Aaron looked around at his surroundings, wondering what to do next. He moved his mouth directly around Beau's ear and with as much strength he has he shouted out Beau's name! Birds flew away from the trees in the distance.

Aaron slumped down after yelling, he wanted to see what Beau's reaction was. Beau slowly shuffled his face to the right. Aaron's mouth dropped. He quickly stood up again, grabbed his sword and started to walk off. Well dragon if you don't wake up....I'm going to leave you behind. He walked into the forest. Looking at the sky he notices something. The sky seemed so light where he was, but when he continues walking. It seemed to be getting darker and colder.

Beau still in the meadow slowly wakes up from his unconsciousness. He slowly stood up, growling through his physical pain. He looked at his surroundings, simular way to Aaron. His heart sank. Knowing of what they are going to have to do in the future. Beau notices that Aaron and Iolene have vanished. He quickly ran up the high hill where Iolene's cottage once was. Now all it was is rubble on the ground. He squinted his eyes over the horizon. It looked like dark purple clouds.

Beau thought that's the place, where the warrior kidnapped Aaron and Iolene. He ran as fast as he could towards that direction. Aaron still walked at a steady towards the area. Beau saw Aaron walking in front of him. Beau brushed past him as he ran. Aaron looked surprised. He can run really fast still, with his injuries. Beau noticed Aaron walking and he slowed down his pace.

Aaron decided to run directly behind him. Aaron swayed his sword on his back. They both ran side by side. Beau looked at Aaron by his side and Aaron looked at Beau. They ran for a few moments. They rushed through the bushes and trees as fast as they could and before they knew it they reached the edge of the forest. Aaron and Beau looked stunned. They were at the cottage where the stranger lived. But without any more second thoughts they rushed up to the cottage and opened the door.

To their surprise it was not the sight that Aaron wanted to see.
