Chapter 9.
The Dream.
Kel was in a room, a dark room. She heard someone screaming a muffled scream and turned around to see where they were. In the corner there was a girl, of about an age of seven or eight, dressed in rags, she was gagged and bound, and chained against the wall so she could not move. There were sores and bruises on her arms and legs and a long scar, right down her face that looked like some nasty dagger work. Kel ran over to help her, but the girl shook her head vigorously, her eyes bulging out of her head.
Kel could see how much it was hurting her, shaking her head. Kel stopped, something was not right, where was this poor girl's captor? She spun around and saw that she was face to face with a man. He was holding a knife and it was pointed at her heart. She was about 10 steps away from him but even from that distance she could smell the smell of alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol.
The man came closer, and Kel resisted the urge to turn away and get sick, the smell was so overwhelming, but she wouldn't let this guy see weakness in her. She groped at herself, trying to find a weapon, her hand rested over the hilt of her sword. The man was leering down at her and Kel could see pure evil in his eyes, but also strength and viciousness in his body's frame. The man had hair that, underneath all the mud, looked to be a very fair blonde colour, and his eyes were the colour of the sea, but the effect was ruined by the mocking gleam in them.
He was about 5 feet away from her, and Kel gripped at the weapon about to draw. But somehow, amazingly, before she could take her sword out, a brilliant light shone out of her. It was, in the very centre, the colour of pure silver, but as it got further out it turned pale blue, finally the edges being tipped with purple.
It spread to every corner of the room filling it with light and knocking the man unconscious. As the man fell, - Kel seemed to be watching in slow motion – his hand with the dagger in came down on top of Kel's head. The last thing she remembered was thinking frantically, 'I must stop him, I must help that girl!' before everything went black.
Kel woke up, sweating madly and gasping for air, having millions of questions with no answers and thoughts' buzzing round her head so fast it was making her dizzy. She lay back onto her pillow, still gasping and sweating with panic. It was only a dream Kel, it was just a dream. Or was it? Because looking down she saw with a gasp and a slap on the head to check if she was still dreaming – which she wasn't because it was every bit as sore as it should be!!! – Something that made the thoughts and questions in her mind make her head start aching with pain. It could she have this, how could she be holding it??? For in her hand lay…………………………………… ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sorry that it's so short guys, I just wanted to leave it at a cliff-hanger so there you are!!! But if you are all still interested in this story you can read and find out what happens next! I've decided to keep going with this, and if anyone knows how to make this story available to people who aren't registered in fanfiction.net could you review and tell me? Cause I really want to know. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
