Chapter 19
Mattox narrowed his eyes as he looked out across the burning village. It seemed almost bad that the Elves were doing this. Almost.
He jumped down, off the stone wall, and onto the ground, moving through the rush of people with ease. Mattox tried to grab anybody to try and see if they had seens Reagan.
No one wanted to stop however. He yelled and demanded for them to stop, and yet, the villagers kept running right past him, hoping to never see the Elf again.
Finally, fed up with no one stopping, Mattox grabbed a young man about the age of twenty. "Have you seen a woman. She's about your age with dark hair."
The boy shook his head, in fear that Mattox was going to hurt him. The Elf, not caring about the boys fear, continued to stare into his face. "What about Orion. Have you seen him at all?"
The boy nodded this time, pointing a shakey arm to right behind the castle. "He was dragging a lady." Without another word, Mattox released him and took off running where the boy had just directed.
But, a hand reached up and grabbed his arm. "MATTOX!" He turned and looked down to see Tillion ripping Julia's tunic around her neck. Her shoulder had been stabbed. "I need help!" Mattox nodded, biting his bottom lip.
He helped Tillion lift the wounded, unconscious girl, dragging her back to the wall. "MANURYN!!" Mattox's voice boomed over the screaming, catching another Elf's attetnion. Manuryn jumped down, landing right besides the two men and girl.
"Help Tillion get her to safety." With that, Mattox turned and took off running. Behind the black, burning castle, there was a garden. the flowers were trampled by the feet of the mortal's who fled at the first mention of attack.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, a strang familiar scent clouded his senses. Jasmine.."Reagan.." He whispered, running faster this time.
He ran straight, never turning, and always following the trail of Jasmine. Mattox could feel how close he was getting to finding her, and yet, Reagan was no where in sight.
A break in the large fort wall, ahead of the Elf, held the scent strong. He ran through the break, in time to see a black horse ride past him, at an amazing speed.
However, the speed of the horse was last on his mind. "MATTOX!!!" Reagan screamed, as she leaned over to see Mattox. Orion grabbed her and and pushed her back infront of him. And that was all Mattox had to see to know that he was going to kill Orion.
Reagan~~~
Upon seeing Mattox, I couldn't just sit and wait for him to come to me. I flung my arms around, hoping to hit Orion.
He was having a rough time having to steer the horse and keep me from knocking him out. So, it gave me the slighter advatange. As he grabbed my left arms, I used my right and pounded my fist into his nose.
His head fell back and when he looked at me a second time, I contacted my fist with the same spot, twice this time.
He fell, limply, to the ground as I grabbed the horses reigns, trying to slow the stallion down. He turned and I saw Orion running at me, his sword drawn and stuck out in front of him.
I tried making the horse dodge, but I failed. The sword peirced the beast's shoulder, causing it to neigh loudly. I jumped off, un-gracefully, landing on my hands and knees.
The stallion ran, whimpering like a poor wounded rabbit into the woods. I had enough time to see my attacker look to me. An insane, evil gleam was held in his eye as he slowly made his way to me, backing me into a trunk of a tree.
"You die tonight my lovely.." His voice changed, into a menacingly evil tone, almost tempting me to say something back to him.
Just as I thought I was on the verge of death, a shout sounded from the left of me. Mattox ran to us, clashing his sword to Orion's, catching the man off gaurd. I watched helplessly as the two fought.
Orion was almost on the ground, trying to force the large of the two off of him. It was almost over then and there, however, Mattox wasn't prepared for the blow from Orion's fist. His lip was busted and bleeding now.
I searched all arond the forest floor for any sort of weapon I could use. There was nothing! Not even a limb from a tree to be thrown. All that was there, was roots and leaves.
Then, almost like a sign from God, I realized my ignorance. My dagger! I had forgotten it all this time!
I reached under my skirt, supporting my belly with my latter hand as I took the dagger from my stocking. The metal gleamed under the fire of the castle beyond us. I sighed frustrated. I could no longer get to them with ease.
Both the men had dropped their sword and were wrestling. Kicking, hitting, anything to get to their weapons. Dropping my dagger, I knelt down and took a black sword in my hand. Orion's sword.
I watched closely as they seperated, Mattox to get his sword, and Orion to get his own.
When the three of us stood back up, two of were indeed with weapons. However, it was I who had Orion's sword, and Orion who had Mattox's.
"Looks as though I won." Orion boasted, smiling toward Mattox. "Even if the wench stabs me, it won't be powerful enough that I can't still go on and kill you."
And just like that, Orion took off toward Mattox, his sword held out infront of him like it was when he was about to stab the horse. I screamed, running forward, toward the evil mortal's back, my sword above my head. He was almost to Mattox when I reached them both.
I gave a cry as I jammed the sword through his back, not stopping until the hilt was touching his skin. He hadn't made a sound.
I pulled it out and watched him fall lifelessly to the ground, an evil grin placed across his face. Mattox, who was still standing, motion less, grabbing his stomach, made a small sound. Almost as if he were in pain.
I looked at him, seeing the blood pour from around his finger tips, making me scream. I had stabbed Orion....and Mattox....
