*BOOM!* A blond hair elf ducked as a bullet ricochet off the tree next to her. Behind her, she heard footsteps coming closer. Men were yelling to each other, making it easy for her to know where they are. Her bare foot hitting the forest floor barely made a sound as she ran a bit faster. It was the darkest part in the night. It was hard to see more than 3 feet in front of her. But she knew the forest inside and out to make it easier to get away. Branches kept on appearing in front of her as the thick part of the forest came up quickly. It whacked her as she passed. She knew that it made it easier for them to follow her trail. She didn't care. She was going to make it back anyways. She didn't have to worry about them finding her.
*BOOM!* Another gunshot reached her ears after she felt the pain in her leg. It was like a fast moving train hitting had hit her. She lunged forward as her legs gave way under her. As she landed her left shoulder hit a near by tree. Pain rushed through her. She rolled around and sat up slowly. Her shoulder hurt and she couldn't move it. Dammit! It was dislocated and on top of that, she got a hole in her leg. She reached forward carefully feeling the damage done to her by the bullet.
Beside her, she heard a small click and the felt of cool metal pressing up against the side of her face. She froze. "Well, now, lookie who I shot here." a voice reached her ears. His friends were going to get here any second now. She can also hear them. She glared at him not answering. "You've been a pain in our asses for quiet some time ya know…an elf like you shouldn't cause so much trouble."
She didn't answer him as his friends arrived. They surrounded her and aimed their guns. "Put your hands up where we can see 'em!" One of them said, stupidly. She knows when she's beat. She knows when she doesn't have a chance of doing anything, so she complied. She raised her good arm slowly. "And the other one!" the same one said.
She glared at him before snapping at him, "I can't."
"Why is that?" he demanded.
"Because this jerk," she pointed towards the guy who shot her with her fingers still over her head, "dislocated my shoulder."
He smirked, "Doesn't matter, you're still alive. That's all the count." He pointed to someone, "You, take care of her shoulder and be gentle. And you, bandage up her leg. We can't have her bleeding to death on the way back." She could hear the venomous sarcastic sound in his voice. Hmph.
The person who was supposed to fix her shoulder went to her and felt it harshly. She bit back her words. She didn't want to give them the satisfactory of letting them hear her scream. He scoffed, "This is going to hurt, doll." He placed one hand on her shoulder, away from the dislocated part and the other one on her hand. And then he pulled. She turned away, biting her tongue so hard it felt like it had started to bleed. She closed her eyes to hold back the tears. It hurt like hell. They laughed at her because of it. Ohhh, they are going to pay for what they did to her.
By the time she got feeling back in her shoulder and arm, the other guy had finished bandaging her wound up.
"Alright, let's get going," the guy who shot her, commanded. She sulked as they tied her hands behind her back, "It's not like I can run away ya know," she pointed out, angrily. They just grunted as another guy came and picked her up. He put her over his shoulders as if she was just a piece of baggage. She struggled but it proved useless. That's what she get for being no higher than 4 feet and with an out of commission leg.
They started to leave when she heard something else. Her ears twitched. A small string of hope came to her. The men haven't noticed it. That's the difference between elven ears and human's ears. Elves has much more sharper hearing. Then the singing began. It was soft at first, like a choir singing the softest song ever.
The song got louder as her people came closer. The men stopped. It was too late to do anything about it. They had fallen into the spell. The guy who was holding her set her down. Not as softly as she would have liked but she wasn't about to complain. She looked on as other elves emerged from the forest. Each had their own unique traits but their crystal blue eyes defined them as water elves.
Once they all surrounded them, the males joined in the singing with the females. The voice of an elf is a powerful thing. Females can charm and males can lure them into a sleep. She smiled in delight as the men finally fell into a deep sleep. They never had a chance.
Her smiled disappeared quickly when Rave looked at her. Rave was the leading general for her father's army. She always disliked him and he never liked her. He gave an order and two other elves came. They helped her up and the elves started to head back. The two elves were supporting her. She walked as quickly as she could with an injured leg. After a five-minute walked, they arrived at the entrance.
The elves walked into the clear blue lake as the water filled thier lungs like cool air. They walked deeper into the lake. Fishes swam by. Some of them stopped to watch, others scurried out of their way. They knew what was going to happen and didn't want to get in the way.
They stopped in front of a rock in the middle of the deep lake. Rave put his hand on it and said the key word to open the door. He stepped back letting the two guard elves usher her in. She was escorted to the throne room where her father sat. From the look on his face, she knew he didn't approved. They untied her and left.
She looked at him shamefully. "Well?" he said, in his deep voice that shook the room. She put her weight on her good leg, then looked at him, "Well, what?"
"You know what I'm talking about. Don't you dare try and talk back to me like that, Izumi!" he roared.
Her sapphire eyes glared at him in defiance, "I didn't do anything wrong!"
"You left the castle again. What is it now? 20-30 times? If you're mother was alive-"
"She's dead!" Izumi stopped and bit her lips in surprised. He looked appalled, "Don't you *dare* speak about her that way again. I can't believe my daughter would act like this. Water Elves aren't supposed to go stealing from humans, dwarves, other elves or animals. We're suppose to be peaceful not cause trouble. Who are you? I don't even know who you are anymore."
He paused. Before he can say anything else, she spoke up, "I'm sorry father. I truly am. But this is my destiny. I have to finish this. Just one more and I'd be done."
He shook his head sadly, "You know you can't. This was the last straw. You have broken our laws many times before this. We have always overlooked them but the other nations are getting angry. They would declare war we don't do anything about it. And we don't want to join them in their wars. But now that you have done it again, you know what I'd have to do. If I give you special treatment, then that wouldn't make me a good king. I have to think about the well-being of all my people."
She looked down in shame. Her golden yellow hair had become undone now fell over her eyes as he continued, "I don't want to do this but I have to. It is my duty. I'm sorry Izumi. I warned you. You didn't listen; you said that you know what the consequences are for doing this. I have told you over and over. Everyone has and now it's time for us to take action." His voice cracked, "You are now banished from here." He sniffed; she looked up to see him crying. Her eyes filled with tears but she held them back, "You can stay here until you're heal but after this you can never come back… I'm sorry Izumi. I really am. But your action sa--"
She interrupted him, "Don't explain to me, *father*, I know what would happen if I went out again. But I did anyways. It was my choice. I don't want you to be sorry for me or give me pity. Goodbye father." Izumi, Princess of the Water Elves, turned around and limped towards the doorway. Before she passed through, she stopped.
Without turning around, she said in a quiet voice, "I love you, father. I do. I am sorry for all the pain I have caused you but I have to do this."
She left. When she got to her room, two guards were already there. One of them opened the door for her. He bowed, "Princess." She nodded towards him politely. Really though, she wanted to slit his throat. Not because he had done something to her personally but because she was just angry. She had miscalculated and she paid for it. It's her fault, no one else's. Her ties with her people has now be severed. She can continue to fulfill her destiny without anyone saying anything to her. And she fully intend to finish it.
