Melanie

Next Chp. of .....MELANIE

The thing is I don't know what to do. This chp. sound a little...weird to me so w/e

"Melanie, is that her name??" Said the man on the chair, he looked Majestic, those who followed him where just as bad as he was, killing & stealing to get what they wanted

"Yes sire, She was William's sister, She is the only survivor of the kill, we made sure of that," Said the man bowing down to Nathan, The new king of the Rogue.

"Well, make sure you get her, I want to be the only one with the claim to the throne.

Melanie didn't know what to do, 'I need to do one thing at a time, that's all first, pack and run, pack and run' Melanie had discovered that it was easier to keep repeating things over and over for her to remember what to do. She had sattled the horse after she had gotten her brother to sleep. How she would go around with her brother, she didn't know. He was at that age were he was too big for the sling but to young to walk. She had decided to place him in front of her so she could hold him, but still be able to control the horse. She looked back at her home, the home were she had lived at for her whole life, now she had to leave everything behind, just because of her brother. She cursed his name, knowing that it wasn't his fault entirely. 'So, I will know in my heart which way to go' She thought. She closed her eyes and spun in a cirlce and rode southeast.

-back to the future-

And even though you may not believe me, I remembered the whole way. And this still might seem like a fab;e to you, but my sister never lied to me.

Melaine was completely and utterly lost. She had been wandering and blundering her way through Tortall most of the way. She had lost her map the day after she had started out and on the third day it started to rain. By the fourth day she was drenched and her brother had eaten all the food she had pack in the hurry to leave. She had seen a village on the map near the road she was on, unless the map was too old and the village was gone, or she had gotten off the road and was going the wrong direction. Her brother seemd to be enjoying himself at least. Of course he had never been out this far, and while the rain made Melanie sick, he was a happy little baby.

"Glad your enjoying yourself," Melanie mumbled at Mathew.

"Well, we can help you enjoy yourself m'lady, i you leave the babe and come with us." While elanie had been looking at Mathew she had not noticed that some men had been following her. She turned around and aced them.

"I ain't leaving anything! What do you want? I've got money if you want that" Melanie threw her purse at them, hopping that's all they want and started to leave.

"We have orders from the new king," Melanie froze, "Something about you having to die, sorry miss, but we follow orders" Melanie scared her horse into a gallop. She rode hard and fast, glancing backwards every few seconds. They were catching up, and fast. She saw that up ahead that there was a curve. She bit her lip as she thunk. *I could jump, I can make it...I think* She forced her horse to go faster.

"Sorry love, but I have to leave you, Ride on" She said her goodbye to her horse. She got read, making sure that they couldn't see her, and then, they reached the curve. She jumped of, holding her brother tightly. Her force of the horse made it get a bit of balanced, but she continued just has fats, if not faster. They rode hard of the horse, who was probably so far away that they could only hear the hoofbeat. She put her hand over her brothers mouth to quiet his crying.

-Future-

Sure I got hurt, I still have the scare from where I fell on a branch, but again my sister saved my life like no other could. I will always be thankful to her, no matter what.
